Do you own any bootlegs, /toy/?
Did you know you were getting a bootleg or did you find out it was fake later on? Are there any besides the Datong Figuarts that are actually good quality/worth getting?
Also post pictures of whatever bootlegs you have, no matter how good or bad they are.

I walked into Jungle over the summer, which is suppose to be this legendary awesome and huge anime store in LA and I had never seen so many bootlegs in one place before.
I got a bootleg Miku from a convention selling her for full price. Safe to say, when I got home and found out it was a bootleg I was fucking pissed.
The joints are loose as fuck and the knees were installed backwards. Oddly enough, the paint was actually fairly decent for the most part.
(No pics because I don't have a decent camera)

Some idiot tried to sell me a Datong Vegeta for 80 dollars, luckily for me I was not a new colector and noped out of there
Did you ever find out what you where getting before Christmas?
>>5355070
Not when I was a child. Nowadays I know what I'm getting because I pick my presents out when they're bought.
>be me
>10 years old
>I was fucking around in my parents closet for some reason
>inb4 gay joke
>notice a conspicuous pile of sheets
>look under it
>find LEGO Star Wars sets I asked for Christmas
My parents were shit at hiding gifts.
>>5355070
I didn't need to find out because I chose my presents myself. I already knew that Santa was bullshit when I was 6 or 7 years old, so my parents just asked me directly what I wanted.
Some will say that it loses the charm that way, but it was awesome.
With the new SW movies could we get a re-release of these? I loved collecting them as a kid but being a kid I didn't have the money to get them all.
I see there are new ones out but being able to get the old ones would be fun.
I also enjoyed the Action Fleet series as well. It felt like you could get all the craft but not have it take up much room. I always wanted them all but only managed to get an X-Wing, A-Wing, Snow Speeder and Speeder/AT-ST pack.
It is a shame when you look at the boxes though and see these brilliant paint jobs, then look at the real thing and it doesn't compare. I feel like I should take them apart, spray them with a base coat and then make them look nice.
How are the new ones anyway? I kinda wanted to get one out of nostalgia.

They are terrible
The QC and plastic used is gummy as fuck. It's not Galoob doing these anymore, they got eaten up by Hasbro in 2003 and in 2006 a new crew was put in charge of the Titanium and other "Micro Machine" like IPs they had
>>5354834
I don't get it I thought the "Black Series" (is it) was meant to be super high quality stuff. I looked at the boxes and saw titanium diecast then looked at the models and they were bloody awful looking. There is no way that I would pay for them, I would rather just buy the X-Wing game miniatures they actually look nice.
whats something cool you have built in lego? this is my bio hand. its awesome.
No
>>5350164
do you show girls your bio hand?
do they think its awesome?

Are you the guy who wanted to be Long John Silver from Disney's Treasure Planet?

If this belongs in a topic, I apologize and I'll remove this asap.
I'm going to japan soon, and it's my first time. I'm very interested in buying stuff there but I dont really know what are the good shops to check out, or any japanese etiquette when in a shop.
For you guys who have been to japan, what has your experience been, what shops did you enjoy? or would it better to just go into random shops.
I'm more of a Toku guy, but I just want to explore
Check for gashapon, there are some crazy things out there right now.
Just found out about pic related today, unfortunately it's unlikely it'll ever get out of Japan. 300 yen gets you a shot at a robot or a go-kart
ç´ ãƒœãƒ‡ã‚£ is the name of the line, I think, my moon's not strong yet and google's just saying it's 'elementary body'
>>5303126
Really wish that gashapon/shokugan could make it outside Japan, they've got some great stuff.
>>5303126
those look cute.
are gashas just something you can find any where or in specific shops?
obviously I should go to akihabara but uh, im just feeling overwhelmed thinking about it haha. So many places to go or see. and I only have 10 days.
Shit, i had no idea about this. Fingers crossed for Majima.
Honestly it looks really sub par, and that's a promotional picture. It can really only get worse.
It's a shame because I was really looking forward to it. Here's hoping the announced SAS makes a comeback.
>>5355806
I insta-pre ordered it because Yakuza, but you're right. That, alongside their Bruce Lee, is making me really disappointed at Goodsmily.
>>5355807

FNAF figures are coming, Funko though

Poorfag here who recently really got into the original MSG, and is a long time tread-head modeler of ww1 tanks and aircraft.
After seeing MS designs on the show, started looking into gunpla... are the cheap $5-10 models worth getting?
Pic related
>>5354953
Would be best off asking in the Gunpla threads but yes the HG Zakus are nice kits.
>>5354953
yup, they're a good place to start.
>>5354953
Is there a local hobbytown or hobby store near you that sells gundams?
A whole 4chan board about TOYS!? Get in the dungeon, all of you!

Perhaps you should head home, newfriend. I hear your parental unit calling.

>missing the joke
i feel bad for you
>>5348728
>thinking people missed the joke, when it's actually just not funny
What good, articulated skeleton figures are there? I know of Pose Skeletons, but is there any other options that are more in the realms of 1/12 scale? Pose Skellies are a bit small for me.
revoltechs and these guys
not 1/12, but beggers can't be choosers
>>5342334
How big are those HACKS skellies?
>>5342341
1/18, 4 inches aproximately
> comes with every accessory including a pistol that can be hip-mounted
> still cheaper than the Figuarts
I hope you aren't stuck with a figuarts preorder.
>>5354721
Probably better proportioned too.
It'd be perfect if not for the height.
>>5354721
-the plastic quality sucks
-shoulderpads connected to upper torso
nothx2u
I'm surprised they had these already made in advance. Looking pretty good all in all.
Although, with the FFVIIR getting PAKs already, I view it as yet another nail in the AC Cid/Sephiroth/etc coffin.
>>5353451
i really hope they make a cid finally.
>>5353451
Hopefully they don't make like 3 characters then quit onto the next line.
The Fun Publications clubs have changed membership wording that your membership now ends at Dec 2016 instead of stacking on 12 months to your current membership. Word is Hasbro is pulling the license to be handed to the new group offering to do multiple bigger, better conventions around the world for Transformers.
fucking finally
The dicksucking is real.
WHAT is the legal status of the new TF Club runners being able to re-release older exclusives (BotCon & otherwise)?
So I accidentally picked Credit Card option on check out meant to pick Paypal, I emailed the confirmation email back like the instructions say to but never received a reply, its day 4 what do?
>>5355988
