I totally feel you brother, I'm in the same boat.

I fell in love with Minimates because of their deep character line up and their small scale. They scratch my itch of collecting while not overtaking my shelves with 6inch hunks of plastic.

But yeah, since the MCU has become their main thrust (Marvel wise at least) I've been buying less and less and generally losing the desire to keep buying. I loved that Avengers wave late last year (or early this year) because it reminded me how awesome all those big classic costumes look on these little guys. And I loved this new Wolverine Wave way more than I expected, but honestly that's probably because of the audacity of that Mojo figure.

It's so shitty because I want an MCU line to tank so they'll make more comic lines, but I fear that if a line bombs hard, the whole line will just get cancelled.

Sucks man... Really sucks.

The comic waves still prove to be good. The MCU ones are always kind of disappointing, but, it's just proof that DST just wants to push safe bets that they think will sell. Too bad that I constantly see MCU stuff clearanced, and can never find the new comic stuff.

Even the comic waves I'd say aren't up to snuff the last few years. They refuse to make a Moon Knight, but they give us two Blizzards and Shanna? They're not even using the Halloween 4-Pack to put out some supernatural characters. As if the Zombie sets that get clearanced in a month sell much better. Add the MCU overload and the weird comic choices, and this line has really gone downhill.

daily reminder Stylet is lewd

Looks like one of those cool old Fisher Price pirate ships. I can certainly dig it

See the problem is. There really aren't any toys for this movie. There is that set you mentioned, a couple shitty imaginext tier toys that go with it.

And the Lego Silent Mary. That's it

And I have heard NO plans for future toys aside from Hot Toys releasing Jack Sparrow...again

So I'm really not thinking POTC deserves it's own toy thread...

oh shit that looks like something 10 year old me would have wanted, Pirate Ship toys are so fucking cool.

nah, you're just fucked. I've been collecting shit for years and I've never had that problem. Clean up a bit better and maybe it'll stop.

Or call pest control

>>6336461
Ok, that's nasty. No reason you should have silverfish or springtails on your SHELVES. Maybe in closets or in boxes. I feel for your collection. Could someone find out where OP is so we can liberate and save his figures from a bug shit encrusted moldy doom?

>>6336551
No silverfish

>>6336549
This may be a weird question but you've never had any sort of bug/pest get around your stuff? How often do you clean your displays?

Are we Ladiesman217?

>starting a new thready right as your old one starts to autosage

god, not only can you transfans not stick to your own general, you can't even be courteous and stay in a thread until it autodeletes like literally everyone else on this board?

stupid motherfuckers.

I really like movie Hot Rod. It's a shame his Deluxe is kind of bleh, but I'd love a movie Masterpiece of him.

The 297.00 was the Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin which is still sitting in the parcel unopened.

Only buy from series you have watched and are a fan of?

>>6357361
Think about what you liked as a kid. What compelled you to like a certain toy. Collect the best of that.

It doesn't necessarily have to be things you have nostalgic attachment to, just buy things you're drawn to and are high quality. for example, I own sentinel dancouga and SoC Gaogaigar, because I love combining mecha, but have never really watched their shows; simply because they're good quality figures. Conversely, I've barely bought any Batman TAS merchandise because most of it isn't very good. there's also things I like as an adult, that Id on't feel are very toyetic and thus I ignore. Like, I could never be one of those 1/6 scale collectors spending $200 on a Morgan freeman or Jack Nicholson figure, just because I like those actors, it doesn't mean I need to have a toy of them.

That's inaccurately colored, BTW. The sides are covered up with raptor skin. The only robot kibble that should be showing are the tops of the knees. How the guy who colored it could have fucked it up is beyond me.

reposting this for thread challenge.

Am I they only one who'd really like a mobile version of LDD?

Should have bought an all glass display, not only can you see your stuff much better but it doesn't smell.

>>6354509
take it completely apart and clean it.

Hijacking this thread to ask

Does anybody know of any white cabinets with glass doors that are perfect for displaying figures and storing media like movies, books and games?

I'm looking for something that's secure, like no way for bugs or shit to get in through the back (I have some incredibly shitty shelving/cabinets right now with this issue.)

For that fuckin much, and no fuckin joints..

Fawk that noise and get the fuck off my lawn.

The fuck is a King Alien? Since when was that a thing?

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.

wrong pic

Are the fingers wired at least?

>>6340521
I never knew a salad fingers figure existed. There a Hubert Cumberdale to go with him?

>How can I get cheaper MOTUCs?
Invent a time machine. I know that's a cunty answer, but the only way prices are going to come down is if there's someday a newer, even more expansive and articulated MOTU line, and that's going to be a while, if ever.

>Will they ever be re-released someday?
Some are. The new manufacturer, Super7, is releasing "Ultimate Editions" of He-Man, Skeletor, Teela, Ram Man, and Faker, although preorders are closed. They'll probably run you $50 a piece when they come out. They'll probably do more but it looks like they're moving to an "all-in" model much like the one that kept MOTUC from reaching its full potential.

Personally, I always felt that at minimum He-Man and Skeletor should always be available, maybe Man-at-Arms, Teela, Beast Man, and Evil-Lyn too. I was lucky because I got in at just the right time (mid-2011) when all but a few figures were still affordable. I have a friend who loves He-Man, but by the time he discovered Classics they were already way out of his price range. Ultimately this lack of evergreen figures kept the line from growing beyond a few thousand die-hards.

>>6340432

He-man and Skeletor were perpetually available at Matty for YEARS as signature in stock items. At one point China was bleeding stolen versions everywhere (mainly from the DC 2 packs).

You guys just really really *REALLY* missed the boat.

>>6340350
There are two packs on Mattel's eBay shop of terror claws skeletor and flying fist he-man. Also the laser he-man and skeletor, and snake armor he-man and king hiss. They are 40% off and free shipping. That is probably the cheapest way to get a he-man and skeletor right now.

The cheapest way to get classic versions is to wait for the super 7 versions to come out.
