my jp kenner toys were given to family members I never see, now I found out these toys go for hundreds online..

I believe last time I shared my story, some people became hopelessly depressed and jumped off a bridge.

Sounds inspirational :') tell us sir

oh man. I never had one of those. It looks AWESOME. surprisingly accurate as well.

Thanks for the feels anon. Loved this as a kid as well.

So pricey now.

I remember seeing one of those as a kid. Quite nicely detailed for back in the day. I recall the landing gear was articulated with spring mechanisms that worked just like they did on the tv show.

Weirdly enough, I had a strange idea for a new Toy Story-esque movie when looking at a bunch of cheap toys at an office store. I thought how all these toys existed as "filler" gifts, cheap things a grandma or aunt can give a kid if they don't really know what they like. Poor qualityRC cars, helicopters, and robots with the same sound effects as every generic sci-fi toy. These aren't destined to be loved toys, but just things that'll take up space until they're inevitably gotten rid of.

So I thought about what happens to all these toys, and how the living toys in Toy story would deal with such a fate. We came close with TS3, but that was averted, and the toys didn't see to be conscious of that sort of permanent end as a normal fact until they almost got incinerated. I had an idea where toys are very aware of the fact that they're destined to be mangled, separated, donated, or thrown away. They'd form a sort of spiritual belief around it, like a kind of reincarnaton. They would embrace the idea that, after playing a part in various lives, great or small, they'd eventually be recycled and reborn. a mantra for a /toy/ placed in a recycling bin would be that they shouldn't grieve, because they'd return as a water bottle that'd quench someone's thirst, or a computer that will enrich someone's life, or any other given uses.

The kicker would be that, of course, most toys don't get recycled, they just get dumped in the garbage and crushed or burned. This would be the equivalent to permanent death, or worse, and endless bout of suffering for whatever toy is subjected to it. At one point the characters would traverse a dump and here a bunch of screaming, immobile toys that have been smashed to bits and made part of the waste(not unlike the take on Hell from the movie What Dreams may come) .

Maybe, despite how dark it sounds I don't really think it'd be senselessly dark. More like black humor. If there's any lesson to get, it'd be to live in the here-and-now rather than dwell on bad outcomes.

Fake weapons?

But aren't they the same weapons that came with Nightbeat?

>>5333506

The listing claim they are "reissue" weapons. One know that most of the time, "reissue" mean KO on Ebay.

Turns out 90% of my White Whales are Transformers so I will throw in a couple non-Transformer entries.

Epoch's Hajime no Ippo line. I think these are the only articulated figures for the series and I dig the cloth goods boxing trunks. Unfortunately they are literally impossible to find. I can't even find an auction anywhere over the past three years.

I hope the sword is fucking huge

Never liked this character.

>>5307925
There's quality control issues all over from joints to glue marks , to missing sword handles , or extra hands , etc . The shoulder joints that swing forward and backward are loose , the skirt armor are floppy, some ankles are extreme loose . Weapons missing parts , big cannon does not lock in place with extended or collapsed.

After shipping it's no longer $100 , it's more like $145.

But it does look very good when you display it on the stand . If you can get it for $100 , go for it .

thanks, yeah there are alot being sold on taobao with free shipping of $5 shipping

Where can i find it? It seem cool.

I'm not 100% sure, mind you. I just remember someone saying that in a thread. It might've been speculation.

Whoops, I didn't see your post until I made a new thread so I'll just reply here.

It made my day to hear that you liked your gifts! I didn't know much about lego or gunpla so I was nervous that I might have bought the wrong thing by mistake.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Seems like morale in the SS pool is a little low, I know it's a slow board but I was thinking I might get a stream going at the bottom of the hour if people are interested. Mystery Science Theater presents the timeless holiday classic... Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. I guess.

Nothing.

Our national postal service is on strike.

tomorrow I get Monsterarts Predator and I already don't want it.

Oh shit, I somehow didn't realize they were doing a Baikanfu - super hyped now.

Man, I thought that Optimus was going to be the AOE one.
Hyped over nothing.
