Where is this toy soldier from? I can't remember for the life of me. All I know is that this soldier came with a tower and a ladder.
>>6382406
From a line called "World Peacekeepers Power Team"
No markings has 2 pegs for a figure to stand on I guess.
looks kinda like a Gundam base Jabber
>>6381834
Part of a zbot play set maybe
>>6381834
It's the base for Dr N. Gin from those old Crash Bandicoot figures.
So I'm moving in 3 months for a job in the UK. Excited as fuck but I'm moving from the West Coast. What is the easiest way to move my collection? I've got several (4?) large storage bins worth of my toys. Ideally I don't want to break the bank but moving an entire collection will cost a pretty penny I realize.
Well... just leave your toys in someone's house that you trust and take your favorites with you. Three months is nothing, mate.
Moving for good: get rid of 3/4 of your stuff
Temporarily: store it with someone you trust
>>6382223
I'll be gone for 3 years at the most right now, but my girlfriend lives there so...probably indefinitely if I can.
know any figures with a good asian face sculpt /toy/? trying to get as close as hanzo as possible without sculpting
>>6381414
Have you tried getting the hanzo bootleg figure from ebay?
>>6381525
i could, but the face looks kind of derpy. might be what i end up doing.
Does anyone know if this is a decent figure? I know it has SOME kind of articulation and I know his sword can be held in either hand, but that's about it.
The weeb in me has always loved Yojimbo's design and I'd gladly drop the money on it if it's worth it, but I can't find any reviews or video of someone showing it off or anything.
I've got this figure (in another country with my parents so no photos sorry).
It's more of a statue than a toy, but it's very pretty so I'm glad I have it
>>6381430
What articulation DOES he have? And does the sword unsheath?
>>6381370
>>6381460
from what i remember of my friend's it was very limited. It was pretty much impossible to get the arm out from behind that cloak, so however much movement you can imagine being possible behind the cloak is what he had. The other creatures have a good deal more articulation then him, still limited mine you, but more or less what was expected back then.
Found these lying around. Anyone know what set these were from? I'm 99% sure they were in the same set.
>>6381216
More I believe to be in that set.
Theyre from a kind of generic fantasy line that showed up at like Big Lots years ago. I have that cobra guy. I think most of the sculpts are by Chap Mei.
Hey /toy/ Mr. Potato Head collector reporting in. I received this potato head as a gift from my gf and I can't find any info on why he has the Richs logo on his body, it's not a sticker either it's just printed onto the plastic. Anyone else here know about this?
Also Potato Head thread, post yours and cool stuff you've made with your parts
Have you tried contacting the companies and asking them?
I have some potato heads but I can't stand the newbody types how they got rid of shoes and just have shoes with pants attached, that only fit the new slimmer bodies.
It put me off collecting and I only buy the mini ones now
>>6381443
I'm probably going to give Rich's a call tonight and see what's up with this.
The new ones have tons of flaws too, like the mouth hole being a smile instead of just a hole, it's really annoying, but i do like them. Personally I think the 80s-90s sets are the best in terms of overall quality.
>>6382145
Yeah I agree I don't like how the mouth hole is a smile.
Besides the pants, my main problem seems to be that glasses don't fit on the faces properly.

Any experience with ordering from Entertainment Earth from outside of the US?
I'm starting to consider them for an order because of how ridiculous Amazon's shipping is getting.
They're awful. They list stuff that's not really in stock and they send leftovers from CA shows. When you finally get something that's been groped by every hamhands at those shows, they don't honor their mint condition guarantee.
>>6377881
Shit.
Where am I supposed to get my Hasbro beyblades now?
>>6377847
I've only ever ordered a Figma from them. Came relatively quick for free shipping (like 2 weeks total), was packed well. Also got me on a mailing list of their catalog which lets me see a lot of cool new shit that's coming out I likely wouldn't have normally seen. I don't think they are bad or really even below average, just probably not the best out there.

Anybody else had horse shit like this happen from Amazon or any where else? post Toy delivery horror stories, gripes, etc.
Amazon is still probably slapping shipping labels directly onto the packaging. They don't care if the packaging is inadequate for mailing.
>80% of the G1 reissue Predaking sets they sold had to be returned because they were damaged in transit
Even if it was adequate for mailing, it still ruins the packaging to plaster a shipping label on it, if you're a MIB collector, never buy from Amazon
>inb4 "people who collect MIB are idiots
Sorry but your opinion doesn't much matter, retard.
>>6389459
Honestly, MIB collecting or not, in my eyes its very unprofessional for a huge company like Amazon to do that. Imagine if you were buying something like that as a gift, and you've got to hand a present over to someone, and you give them a ragged, ratty looking piece of shit box.
When you buy something new, you sort of expect it to arrive to you in reasonably undamaged condition, even if it is just the box.
My biggest issue with Amazon is that they almost always seem to use too little--if any at all--packing materials. Having your item rattle around in a box that's 3x too big often causes an item to arrive damaged too.
I once ordered a figure off Amazon, and was baffled when the box arrived and the box size was only about 2/3 the size of the actual item's packaging. Turns out, they just crushed the fuck out of the item's package so they could fit it into a box that was far too small.
Not toy related, but I've had numerous hardcover artbooks, and comics, and other books arrived banged up, and with fucked up corners because they were improperly packaged too.

Why.
just saw a review of some playmates ben 10 aliens. is this the first time all 10 designs got a toy
also: what are some good toys of cartoons from recent years? is it just me or do they not make action figures from tv shows these days?
kids have smartphones and video games these days. I think there's a limited market for kids' action figures. More money in adult collectibles for nostalgic thirtysomethings and weebs.
>>6386574
i guess
but i thought the point of making cartoons were to capitalize on merchandise. does that model just not bear fruit anymore?

moreso in the 80s.
I mean, there's obviously some merchandising but not like it used to be.
So the sale is up

Ah hell. Anybody spotting any actual deals? Kinda wanted shf Bruce but the discount isn't all that impressive.
Looked through it all, nothing really jumped out at me. They used to have great deals but I guess they cut back and changed it to store credit.
Anyone remember what was the cheapest price for figma Hulk from last year's sale? Was it 6,999 yen?
>>6353533
Nothing but the usual HLJ un-sale sale garbage as far as the eye can see
