Lots of shit can change from artwork to final manufacturing I suppose. The packaging was probably being printed while the figures were in production too, so it's also possible it was too late to update the artwork.

Not bashing, but what's the point to these? Like... I get it if a character has literally nothing else to collect or display and you're a big fan, but like... what's the appeal of collecting tons of them? Is it just for the sake of collecting something fairly cheap?

Any tips on how I can buy Star Wars UCS sets (especially the Tantive IV, Star Destroyer and Super Stsr Destroyer) at a reasonable price? I'm not interested in them as in investment, but would like to put together and display these kits. Thanks!

I don't think you can unless you get REAL lucky at a garage sale or something. They're expensive, buying the parts off bricklink will be expensive also, though IIRC there're some guides out there on what parts can be substituted for cheaper variants to bring costs down a little. I know this exists for the UCS Falcon at least.

or, you could get the Lepin knockoffs if you don't value your soul

>>6392357
As of right now? There really isnt. Stalk ebay auctions with good feedback, and ask them questions if you have to.

Old UCS are too rare because really only collectors buy them, as they mostly arent for playing, which coupled with their high price tags turn themselves off normal people who sell Legos.

You have 3 Options
1. Pray Lego make another version
2. Stalk auctions, ads, and try to get them as cheap as possible
3. Buy the Lepin knockouts, as they still look really nice as display pieces. If youre buying them for the Minifigs or because they have play features, than it may be awful for what you want.

It's behind the dryer.

People tend not to document plush toys. They mostly get played with by kids and end up ruined and thrown away, so even if by some miracle you managed to find out who made it and when it will have been out of production for years.

There's about 4000 stuffed/plush gorillas on ebay right now. I'd recommend browsing those.

as much as I hate to say it, try reddit. your chances of finding someone who knows what it is, is bigger on reddit, because they probably have more people there.

Is it better to build the FAG first and then paint or paint the parts first and then build?

>>6390710
I think it's usually easiest to paint, then build.

>>6390710
Build certain parts/limbs and paint them before assembly, and certain more fiddly bits should be individually painted.

What kind of plushies are you talking? I know a company called Sanshee is making P4 plushies starting with Chie and also opened pre-orders for this Koromaru.

>>6389739
I hope through some fuckery only plushes of P1 and P2 get made just to piss off the P3/4/5fags.

>>6389758
I mean any type of plushies of any company

All vinyls are garbage hipster bullshit, but I will admit to their craftsmanship and the fact they existed before Funko Pop

Hello.

I was actually sad to see these go. I was really hoping the .50 would take off but at least we got version 1 of the basics.

Articulated. And there's two different versions: That white one, and a colored one.

In Mandy Umeda today, I thought I saw a fucking 99,000 yen goku

Did my eyes deceive me? It was definitely 99,000 yen, couldnt find it on the website either

Is this normal??

Yes A toy that represents the film as a whole has been announced.
pic related.

>>6367773
Best not hold your breath. The movie won't be successful enough to warrant anything in the collector's market.

>>6367773
I'd more likely expect something of the old movie.

Oh cool it's just like in the Last Knight. Next is the part where he magics himself back together.

At least your collar antennas aren't broken yet. I've seen many people share pictures of their broken ones.

Good thing I never fell for the Takara tricks.

I like the goofy titan master vehicle modes. Repugnus and Sawback's are particularly silly and endearing.

Kids today don't know about mail-order loose-leaf notebooks as prizes for collecting enough Kool-aid points.
Or iron-on patches. Or plastic kites. Or erasers. No period of time was as branded as the 80's, and the only reason kids today are growing up with brands as surrogates for identity is because their parents grew up in an era that promoted brands as culture.

Yep. Bandai USA released various Mobile Suit Gundam carded lines. The Japanese releases added detail lines under the MSiA (Mobile Suit in Action) banner no matter which Gundam series it was. Wing, MSG, G Gundam, etc all went under their anime series names in the US
