Apparently BBTS updated and cut its 180 day Pile of Loot holding period in half, to only 90 days.
That was literally the only reason I even bothered with them.
They brought back $4 flat rate shipping. I never bothered with POL anyway, the only advantage was a postage discount and that's cheap now.
Beats their $8 postage shit, fuck I only wanted to order that small toy they ha don sale and they wanted $8 to mail it? That's why I largely avoided them and went to eBay or Amazon.
Now if they'd take half that shit they've had in their warehouses for years and do an actual sale to get rid of it. Sorry but if it didn't sell out at $30, drop it to $20, don't raise it back to full price.
It says you can still cancel items after it goes to your Pile Of Loot for 7 days, but I don't see any ways of doing that, just what to add to the box for shipping. I'm sure some are less than 7 days at the moment.
Plus still says I have 170-181 days till shipping. for the items in there.
Got nowhere to ask till Monday.
Layout wise, yeah the old one was better, except for having thumbnails for the POL page.

Their site update also erased my order history so now I can't see my orders tracking information.

noooo my favorite family guy character
That's the kind of guy you think won't ever die, a
treasure of a human. RIP, indeed.
I can't believe he was 88. It makes since in retrospect, but its still crazy to think about he was in the Batman TV series in the 60s and also on a modern animated TV show.
are there any bootles of this?, looking to buy one on ebay, but tjust wanted to make sure if i buy a legit one
>>636782
Just get the D Arts.
It's got more accessories and fits better into the 1:12 scale.
good figure. Just hate that the feet barely pivot at all. Makes it difficult to pose.

>Build something 1:1 scale. Like a big insect, maybe a phone. [spoiler]a saturn rocket themed dildo[/nospoiler]
what do does /toy/ think of the silent Mary set?
>>6367703
Ugly, overpriced, the only good part are the minifigs and zombie sharks. -5/10
>>6367703
There was one guy on /toy/ a couple weeks back who loved all things PotC and I think even he hated that set. So yeah, it's not great.
A more substantial lower hull would make me like it a lot more. as the deck and everything above the cannons looks well designed.
>used Air Small Packet on AmiAmi for the first time
I'm never getting this toy, am I?
Been using SAL (unregistered) for years. Haven't lost a parcel yet.
>>6367525
Why happened to indicate to you that you aren't getting your toy? I'm in the US and order through Amiami pretty frequently. Every time I place an order on a single piece I use Airmail. I usually have it in hand in a week's time. If you live in some degenerate country like Canada or or the UK, your package may be caught in customs.
>>6367525
Over the past decade I think I've not used SAL like 3 times. You're fine, so long as you're not in some shit hole like Brazil, Mexico, or England.
Hey does anyone own or have owned this figure?
It looks pretty meh, the scale is pretty big and the few reviews I can find are bed to meh, but I'm hurting for a Taiga figure after finishing the series and I don't think the Nendoroid will suffice.
I have the swimsuit one.
I looks great, don't touch it, it falls apart if you breath on it, fiddly as shit, and loose joints.
It's between Gutto Kuru and the Nendoroid if you want articulated. Otherwise it's statue shit. I got into anime statue shit because of Taiga, there were just not enough options. Figma when??
>>6367419
>Figma when
A boy can dream, maybe next year for the 10th anniversary? [nospoilers]If only[/nospoilers]
But any chance you could take a picture of swimsuit version next to some other figures for scale? The scale is the one thing holding me back right now, but if it's not as big as I think I might go for it.
Shameless self bump for anyone who else who can answer or possibly provide pics for scale.
Are these any good? Considering pre-ordering the Mage.
They're alright. Currently available figures aren't worth $25, but the S.2 figures like pic related might be.
The knight and orc look decent, if generic, but the elf and "cave fairy" both have a serious case of manface going on.
What scale are these? If that mage is six~ inches tall I'll buy it.
Alright /toy/ so I recently bought a full set of the 1/6 Medicom Ichi the Killer dolls. All of the Ichi figures have bodysuit rot and both of mine do as well. I've never owned 1/6 scale anything and don't know how to go about fixing the problems:
Some guy fixed Ichi into pic related, but I've been searching the web and can't find a bodysuit that looks like that. The ones I've seen are cloth, or nylon wetsuit material. The one in the pic, a more kevlar or leather looking one, would go much better with the armor. So, any suggestions on where I could find a replacement bodysuit that looks like the one in the pic?
Also; some of his armor, like those panels on his hips, are held on by some kind of adhesive that is also rotting. What could I use that isn't tape or glue, but could hold pieces in place and still be removeable if needed?
>>6366305
You're gonna have to commission someone to make you a new suit if you don't have the skills or knowledge. Look around doll forums, lots of folks in that community who make custom outfits.
As for a replacement adhesive that's removable, you might as well go with magnets if you're already modifying the figure anyway. Cut or dremel divots, then glue rare earth magnets into both pieces. Make sure the magnets aren't TOO strong, only just strong enough to hold the armor on, or they'll break the glue.
>>6366305
Do you have a picture of your figure with it's basic armor/gear?
>>6366305
>I've never owned 1/6 scale anything and don't know how to go about fixing the problems:
You can't. That's the unfortunate side effect of early 2000s 1/6 scale figures that used this kind of construction. The early seamless figures have run into the same problem and the newer ones, like Phicen, likely will unless they are maintained beyond letting them sit on a shelf.
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Old Thread: >>6358238
So I left the vote up, and both lines won. So:
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.
is this gonna fall to pieces if I buy it?

So here's the bootleg Spidey I got. Pretty much what I expected.
Bootleg on the left, real one on the right.
The bootleg didn't have as good of an overall paintjob, with some kind of sloppy paint, especially on the head, but the leg did bend slightly more. The pizza also is this almost sticky rubber feeling material which was weird. The neck joint feels like it's a super cheap plastic, but everything else feels alright.
I'd recommend getting it if you can't get a normal one for normal price.
>>6364306
Well they resolicited Steve Rogers Super Soldier in this month's Previews Catalog so I'd assume it's a reissue and they'll reissue figures with high demand.
Post one or more of your toys doing a rocket punch.

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

What do you guys got ordered for June?
When are these coming out? The reboot's been out for a good while now, yet there are already Pops available for things that aren't even out yet (Justice League, Spider-Man Homecoming).
>>6364460
Once again, proof that the only good pops are the ones that don't look like pops.
>>6364460
Might be the only way to get me to buy some pops. MST3K merch happens so few and far in between.
>>6364857
This is how it starts anon, you're jumping down a rabbit hole
Anyone know any good 1/12 scale crossbows?
I need one for my Figma Link.
>>6364032
I think Mythic legions has one or is getting one. I think theres a marevel toy that might come with one. Or maybe an assassin's creed toy. I really want a crossbow too tbqhwy
>>6364032
Here's an ac crossbow
>>6364032
There was a nice crossbow that came with a resident evil 4 figure.
A bunch of these toys are going to be shipped this month and in August.
There's also a new show based on these toys coming out next year. Shorts will be released prior in the fall of this year.
>>6363810
We need more info, looks same size and style as the past LPS are the eye balls sculpted or just paint on a plain surface? (I hate that)
(Also I'm afraid about the prices)
that bun is 2 cute 4 me
>>6363810
sauce of the info/images?
