what are some nice "fidget toys" ?
I'm exploring fidget concepts. not fidget spinners, but not excluding them either.
I'm going to take full advantage of you putting "fidget toys" in quote and nominate Titans Return Rumble. Turns into an easily pocketable little brick, simple but satisfying and well-engineered dual transformations into a robot and a little tank, little wheels for rolling back and forth, you can flick his head up and down like the little switch on the fidget cubes, and if someone else has Frenzy or Ravage or something you can make pew-pew noises at each other.
Best of all, if you don't mind being seen with fidget toys, people won't think you're any more or less autistic for having a transformer!
Why not just have some silly putty?
C'mon. We gotta make them do Diana too.

I wish Wei Jiang improved HA Bee instead of Battleblade Bee.
Battleblades Bee is ugly as fuck, all they did was put lipstick on a pig

I wish there was a good Liokaiser. Both 3P and Hastak have failed me.
Interesting
Oh well i have already order my online. Too bad the Prime deluxe 2 pack was not cheaper on line like the legend 2 pack is
Bring Arts Sora
amiami just charged me for him. Paid, waiting for shipping. Any in-hand reviews of this guy yet?
He's the first figure in their new Bring Arts line so it's pretty important that they get this right.
Just got my payment request. Think I'm gonna cancel. I'm just not feeling it with the Figuarts announced.
Do we know when pre-orders are going up for the Figuarts?
Why does SE release their figures so early? FFVII remake figures and KH3 figures despite the fact that we're probably years away from both of those games

yeah it doesnt look good.

Get hype, looks like there's going to be a Varteryx in this drop.

I would kill for a Varteryx with Skeleden armor and axe.
What is your #1 most desired figure ever, and how much would you pay for it? Doesn't matter if it actually exists or not. What is it, how do you want it made, and what is the ABSOLUTE MOST you would be willing to pay?
Moon Presence from Bloodborne for me. Scaled accurately to the upcoming Figma BB Hunter. High articulation throughout all the main tentacles and joints. Maybe even some blood orbs with transparent stands to have them float around it.
>>6385041
SoC Goldran made out of real gold
>>6385041
Probably Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles. I'd be willing to pay up to 150 dollars for a 1/12 scale figure.
My original character with all the option parts.

Name one
Any hopes for this line if it just happens to be more than a one off two pack? I would love an Arthur.

No.

Why's the Mega Man's paint look like shit in that promotional image? It's so sloppy.

Get the Game.Classic then, OP.

Also some grey/black joints if the flesh bothers you for the armor form.

YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE
what toys do you take?
I don't think a single one of my toys is worth more than like 80 bucks, so I'll take my laptop and my cash stash.
>>6389539
i mean, i guess that's a practical answer, but it doesn't feel in the spirit of the board.
you sure there's nothing in your entire collection you'd want to hang onto in case of a disaster?
>>6389529
I collect BJDs, so it's a lot more money in my case per piece, but I probably would save none of mine.
Tend to have commissions here, so I'd probably save the dolls from my customers first before I'd get any of mine.
Already decided that in case this would ever happen I'd give up the hobby anyway. Got so much limited, old and hard to get stuff, custom pieces and whatnot that starting again would be impossible. Also wouldn't want to start again fresh.

Excellent, comprehensive RD list:

Very interesting to see Zwuath preorders close early and then re-open with a second run to fulfill demand. Don't think we've seen that before with an RD exclusive.
>>6380270
Would LOVE a Re-GZ! As for other OVA/movie RDs, I really believe we're going to see the ANIME line eventually expand to encompass the OVA/movie specific suits. It's just such a perfect line for them!
>>6382262
>Are there any weight issues with the RD Dijeh's shoulder carrying all the weapons?
>And why was the FA Mk-II so bad, is it due to the armor parts not staying attached?
Can't help with your Dijeh question (hopefully someone else can), but as for the FA Mk-II,well I love mine. I actually haven't heard anyone take serious issue with it before, though that may have been a discussion I missed. I think it looks great with tons of tampo detail, and I haven't had any issues with the armor, it all attaches perfectly and results in a secure, solid figure with everything attached.
My one gripe would be how the range of motion in the legs is limited once the armor is attached, but that's more a fault of the design due to how the tubing from the side-skirt armor is attached to the thrusters in the shin armor.
Aside from that, I think if you're jonesing for a FA Mk-II it'll scratch that itch for ya.

So what's with the stigma society has about toys only being for children? I get that traditionally they're designed for kids, but so were video games, and it's pretty widely accepted to play video games as an adult... so why not toys?
>>6406456
Is there really such a thing now? It seems to me that most kids are turning to video games so even toy sellers are pushing toys to young adults instead
>>6406462
But I'm not talking toy collecting. I'm talking specifically playing with them rather than just stuffing them in a display case or on a shelf and forgetting about them for years. I've even seen /toy/ look down on it from time to time.
Who is this?
>>6405235
them coming out with this figure was so hype... they they kind of half-assed the rest of them to do a partial-transformation gimmick and never released a Drago.
Servo aka Gridman aka a fragile piece of shit.
Proportion was so weird with this one.
Top of the list for a SHF remake in my book. Screw the armor gimmick just be a separate figure.
It had a great number of cool kaiju as well.
Never gonna happen though,
The show itself was very interesting and fun even looking at it now. The original, not the American trash. I never saw it but like all American adaptation it must be garbage.
The show had a pretty good idea of how technology will evolve in the next 10, 20 years, maybe just missing smartphones.
Gridman Sigma looks amazing too so maybe there is a chance of SHF of just the Gridmans.
Guesses on to how this 3P Combiner will turn out edition.

I don't really know how to fix this.

I'd gladly take a nendoroid over the other two, but yeah certainly not ideal
What do you /toy/ soldiers think of laser cut metal kits?
>>6396107
They look like novelty items
they're ok.
An anon mentioned a while back that they're awful to put together with sharp edges and tiny tabs that need bending.
Seems cool but actually isn't
