Can we talk about roomboxes for a sec?
i want to get one to shoot photos in it and build dioramas. Thing is, this shit is heavily expensive for basically nothing but 3 (or 4) Walls of an empty box.
Do you have a roombox? What did you pay? did you make one yourself? How?
i got a fingerbox

I'm making 2 diorama/box things right now for my detolf shelf.
I've made a bit more progress since this photo but one of my rooms is a traditional Japanese theme. I find making it myself rewarding and fun. Even though I am creative/good with arts+craft shit I've found it a bit difficult.
I'll post some various stuff I've gotten for furniture and accessories. The o jii chan and o baa san re-ment set
Who else is getting her and a pair of the Picco Neemo overalls to make a cute anime farm girl?
It's cute but expensive.
>>5609023
I got the blonde one because I think blonde works best with all three hairstyles. Brunette looks best with short pigtails I think.
I was mulling over whether to buy her as I missed out on the first Custom Lily which I really liked. Glad I decided to not sleep on it because I knew it would sell out quickly and I luckily chanced on it when it was first put up.
I love this angry face, really good for a blonde twintail tsundere type character.
how pose able are these figures and can the figma tactical gloves be used for their hands?
Welcome all!
Anne is best girl

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

Soooooo, unproduced toys thread? I'll start off with concept art of an unproduced C'hrell (IE that Shredder/Krang composite character from the 2003 Ninja Turtles reboot) action figure!
The unproduced Coffins of Deception from Panosh's Voltron! I really wish that a third-party toymaker'd do a pastige of these, b/c they're such a neat concept/design...
And two designs for the unproduced Inhumanoids figures, including a blurry shot of the snake-dude's prototype! God I wish there were an Inhumanoids revival, tho lord knows we'll never see toys on such a scale again...
And some art from one of the later, unproduced waves of Madballs, from what I think was a series of stickers that resused the unused designs. I want Klang Fang and Eye Sore.

Would any of the Victorion limb bots look any good on some of the other torsos or would their color scheme stand out too much?
>>5629864
I think Victorion itself would have looked pretty good if they didn't make its arms two huge, chunky cars
I realise it would have #triggered the people who voted for Victorion in the first place, but surely Hasbro could have used the Groove mould or the plane mould for the arms to make it more feminine?
>>5629864
A lot of the other combiners limbs clash visually with each other. The best looking ones are probably Predaking and Devastator, who are the most visually cohesive/complementary colored.
Too bad theres no fucking CW Predaking.
Can you ever really have too many robot girls?

What was the first model you ever put together?
How old were you?
Do you still have it?
Mine was a S.T.A.P. from The Phantom Menace when I was 9. The droid didn't last long before it fell apart. Still have the S.T.A.P. on its stand though. It's fucking awful but I like keeping it. I'll post some pictures later.

Victorion's all over eBay right now. Why the fuck don't any of the usual online shops have her yet?
It's almost May. So how come we haven't heard much about the CW Deluxe Groove yet?

It's probably being announced on May. Pray you're online when they start showing up, this is going to be worse than Breakneck, and Quickslinger.
