Fuck I know what you're talking about but I can't remember for the life of me.

>>6380782
Shit I remember getting something like that for Christmas but the name is a distant memory, they had faces right?

>>6381020
They definitely had faces. They were like ping pong balls and you poked tiny plastic weapons into them. Fuck I'm not gonna be able to sleep until i figure this out.

>>6379251

Yep, pretty much any Tamashii Stage support arms. Figma arms work just as well, too. Same size.

>>6379255
Thanks, appreciate it. Guess I'm on the hunt for one of those!

I saw blue and yellow aura model kits at a figure shop near me. Thinking of picking some up to use with my SAS figures - have any of y'all used these before?

>>6376803
Why should you not like it? It looks awesome

>>6376803
The animal buddies were kinda weird, but the axe looked cool. It was reasonably well articulated for a figure of its time...it had all the basic points of articulation, and I think it might have even had swivel wrists and waist? The cape/wings looked fucking AMAZING and the deploy action feature actually worked and looked cool. His eyes even lit up!! Basically if 10th Anniversary Spawn had never come out, I would say this is the best "basic" Spawn figure of all time. I still have mine in storage, never gonna sell it or get rid of it.

>>6378280
people are stupid and think articulation >sculpt/paint.

some of you fucks need to realize that without mcfarlane we wouldn't be here.

Frame Arms Group Build

This time the idea is to build any Frame Arms, or Frame Arms Girl kit, and paint and customize it.

The rules are overall pretty simple, the base must be recognizable as FA or FA Girl, other than that there's no limit on what you can do.

Due Date: September 1st

Note: This is a prize build, there will be a prize provided by me, there will also be a mystery prize provided by another anon. That means that to enter, I need WIP pictures submitted before the due date. Simply email me some pictures of you working on it, I don't care at what point, as long as it's possible to tell where your final product came from.

Prize Pack:
MSG Free Style Bazooka
MSG Impact Knuckle
MSG Beast Sword
MSG Assault Rifle #2
Miscellaneous supplies

I'm probably going to add more, but I'll let those be a secret.

Email: [email protected]

I'm also available via IRC and Steam.

finally going to take a stab at my first kit. I got laid off today, so I guess I have plenty of time now...

>>6376691
fuck man, you better get your ass to the unemployment office once you finish that kit. How else are you gonna feed your new plastic crack addiction?

>>6376684
frame arms dioramas are ok right? I was working on something with my zenrai but I like the base color scheme too much to paint it another color.

I kinda thought the Disney Store would release a Deluxe live action Beauty and the Beast doll set around with the the blu ray release of the film, but seeing how they haven't announced anything yet I don't think it's going to happen.

The box set could have included a 12" version of the 17" LE Prince Adam doll.

1:18

BBi used to make detailed 1:18 shit back in the early to mid 2000s before their current Elite Force line which for the most part is the same molds on figures with less detailed paint. This is back when 21st Century Toys was a thing. Oldfags remember.

Not sure why the vehicles didn't make a comeback. They used to do fighter jets too. I still hate myself for not buying the F-16 and F/A-18 when they were $40 at TRU

>Some folks really long for the days of detail lines, Passcodes, comics, release lists and massive waves of vinyl. Those options are very limited now or are no longer feasible, but we have continued to push things in different directions, not just with our own line, but with our sister companies as well. It's easy to forget, but Glyos has been in a state of metamorphosis since its inception, with each year producing a different variation and focus. Gradual, yes, but still changing and growing at a steady pace.

>Over the last decade, we've seen some intense shifts in our hobby, and just as much on the business side of things. Running an operation like this and being able to survive depends almost solely on your ability to change and evolve under intense pressure. Obstacles arise weekly, as any small business owner can attest to. Cash flow is always tight, especially if you want to keep vital. Decisions have to be made that you know won't please everybody, but you do what's best for the majority of the ship so the mission can continue.

>It's never been my intention to shut people out or exclude opinions. I truly value every piece of advice, and though sometimes painful to hear, each and every criticism. We don't live in a vacuum and never have. Some viewpoints are extremely myopic, others are dead on, but at the end of the day, they are all personal perspectives on something we choose to do and are 100% responsible for. For better or for worse.

I love detail lines but I understand they've become prohibitively expensive I guess. And I'm alright with just doing them myself. I just hope we see a return to some nice "real type" color swap waves rather than entirely painted pieces. I just worry they'll rub in my pocket and ruin the paint. The most recent wave was a step in the right direction imo.

Also, I've been carrying these callgrims around with me and they have basically become my favorite Glyos figures. The one thing that I would improve is that I think the callgrim head should have a port on the back just like the order head. It would really crank up the contained build possibilities. I'm honestly considering just drilling a port myself.

I can't think of a better dude in the geek world than Matt Doughty.

This is a good recommendation. What other stuff is there?

There's a few Kamen Riders that might match what you're looking for.

Tens of thousands.

Most expensive was some 1:18 VOTOM for 200something.

>>6382474
If my guess is right, around 60-80k probably.

Most expensive is probably my Hot Toys Ultron for US $375.

>>6382538
>60-80k
Holy fuck, why don't you focus on high end stuff?

Also, if anyone wants to catch a late showing, I've got a code for a $4 ticket. I'd use it but I hate the movies but ironically need to save for Dragonstorm. You have to use it on Atom, but it's good for any time until the 26th.

>new TR wave
Which one? The one with the dollar store colored Targetmaster guys?

>>6382380
A shit, are the rest of the Wave 5 figures dropping? I want that sweet Overlord.

>>6375539
Wal-Mart will price match literally any other seller

Fuck yes Gladiator hulk

Gosh darn.

>>6376559
That Hulk is probably going to be a must-have.

Their reputation is fine. The only downside to ordering from them is that they charge $20 flat rate EMS no matter what you buy, which is pretty pricey. HOWEVER, that flat rate remains the same for up to 4 Nendos iirc, so if you can group buy with some friends or other anon you're doing pretty good.

The reason to buy from GSC is because they sometimes offer exclusive parts if you buy directly from them. If there's no exclusive part or you don't care about it, buy from Amiami instead. Or HLJ, which I honestly feel is doing a much better job on nearly all fronts than Amiami these days.

I've been using EMS for ages with no hiccups. Use whichever is cheaper, they're both good.

>buying your hotglue
brew up your own at home, idiot

>>6383310
Is HLJ really good? I've never used them before.

They changed it recently. You can use SAL if you're only ordering one item (a nendoroid or a figma or anything small enough to fit)

he was almost literally davy johns in every way. he does the fucking phase through bars thing.

Gimme that Counselor redeco instead.

Christ Ridley Scott should've been incarcerated after making that shit.

He has a great LEGO figure with a partially translucent head and special hairpiece

That Garmadon needs to be in the CMF series.

When are we going to get a Lego Zuckuss?
Why wasn't he included in the Bounty Hunter Pack?

Opinions on just2good? He can act a bit autistic sometimes but he's alright imo
