Try to keep it entertaining, keep shitposting to minimum, and feel free post general toy photography.

After meeting my girlfriend who happened to like collecting toys, I decided to get back into the hobby I gave up when I was younger. I had always visited 4chan's other boards and had seen the /toy/ board before. So I decided coming here would be a good way to see what toe of toys were out there. Several figmas, revoltechs, figuarts, 3a's, mezcos, 3a's, and necas later, I'm stick here.

The reason I've stayed is the community mostly. Although this board can be toxic at times (which board isn't?) I still enjoy the fact that there is a place collectors from all around the globe can meet and speak anonymously to each other. And the /toy/ photography threads are a blast to look through.

When the spawn booards went offline I looked into a good place to discuss toys.

I came to this board before the start of 2015 because I was having hardcore nostalgia for bionicle, which in turn had me hyped for the 2015 sets. I stayed after I started collecting evangelion and gunpla. Some people might remember me as the guy who was always posting in Eva toy threads. Then my eva collection was slowly fading as I became more interested in gunpla and started posting there.

I love this board because as one other anon said, it made me buy pose skellies when i went to Japan.

A friend showed me this horrible place unintentionally by linking me to upcoming toy releases a while back. Sadly, prior to this I was mainly on /b/ and /v/, thankfully those days are over.
I stayed here mainly for things like BST and the fact that it's one of the easiest ways to find out upcoming releases without having to dig through Japanese websites myself.

I've collected toys pretty much my whole life. Started taking photos of my toys for fun.
I found this bored a couple years after I discover 4chan. I lurked for a good year or two before I decided to start posting. It seemed like a really friendly place.

>What made you stay?
At this point it's habit mostly. I still collect toys and still take photos but rarely post now. At least not as much as I used to. I mostly lurk and get toy news.

I collect BJDs and other dolls, heard there was a regular BJD thread on /toy/ and decided to check it out (mostly because I was curious)

>What made you stay?
The thread turned out to be pretty interesting, and while we sometimes have our shitposting moments it's actually pleasant most of the time.
It's nice to have an anonymous spot to talk about the hobby and dolls, since there's a lot of sugarcoating and fake-sweet-behaviour among collectors, confession blogs and whatnot.

Also like to see other toys I think are interesting but don't want to own. Am a big fan of more general discussion threads and I help out when photography question threads pop up.
I also really like the pace of this board, it's not too slow but moves in a way that makes it possible to actually check on threads and participate.

I don't really like 4chan overall any more and I don't think I like the average person on here but I've never found a particularly better place to talk about toys so it's good enough. I only really post on here and TFW and the people are kind of shit both places but neither of them are annoying enough to completely scare me away the way most other places do lol

At first, /v/-related toys. Started buying shit impulsively and almost randomly while shitposting and being a general obnoxious cunt. I also think it's safe to say that I caused a good bit of the /v/ influx from all of the threads I used to make on there.

>What made you stay?
As I got further into collecting I took up photography as a hobby but avent had the opportunity to just shoot for some time now. /toy/ became my main board because /v/ has just been a terrible place to post or browse.

The buyfag threads there now are especially shit. It's so annoying to see them latefagging about anything like
>WHENS THIS COME OUT
>WHERE CAN I GET THIS
>WHY ARE THESE SO EXPENSIVE
>IS THIS A BOOTLEG
>>BUYING JAPANESE PLASTIC DOLLS
Along with that one guy who posts his wall of detolfs filled with statueshit in EVERY SINGLE THREAD. I think I hate them so much because I was the same way.

/toy/ isn't much better but at least OC comes out of this place regularly.

Stay is a strong word. It's a slow board that takes weeks or more to dramatically go through threads or topics. Also since the trend of generals on all boards took off around mid 09 it's killed a lot of creative talk and it's now mostly sanctioned topics that go in loops until news on toys releases.

Went from /b/rowsing in highschool to more of the interest boards. I also browse /co/, /tv/, /out/, and occasionally /mu/

Nobody else around here is interested in toys, so its nice to talk to people about new figures, share photography, etc. I moved from Transformers to Black Series, Figuarts, and Marvel legends. I know its all "pleb" stuff, but I enjoy it

I"ve been on 4chan for a decade now, always in the board that interests me the most /co/ /tg/ /g/ /lit/ etc. My previously repressed toy collecting hobby is acting up hence I am here.

The BJD collector is cool and whoever called her a dyke is shitposting.

>>5631725 is the one with the shitty "l don't like it here and people are shit lol". Then, when insulted, "I'm a girl, deal with it" response when no one mentioned her gender.
>>
>>5631944
This always happens when someone mentions they're a girl. Someone calls her a twat, some white knight comes to the rescue and the whole thread goes to shit.

Keeping it on topic, I thought there would be less women and most people would be in their 30's. So far the results are surprising.

>gunpla general

I rarely buy anymore gunpla these days, though. I keep up more with SHF and figma and RD. I really do enjoy seeing all the different kinds of toys though, and I've found myself impassioned with figures in general. I've made it a bit of a goal of myself to try to collect a handful of figures from each Japanese line in the range of 30-60 USD just to have some nice things to compare to each other. On top of that, it's kind of given me a goal in life. I'm still young and have some young-and-stupid debt to take care of, but I've always wanted to run my own business and I find myself wanting to run an import toy store of some kind. Maybe have comics and shit just for business purposes, as the city I live in has nothing of the sort. Just have to get myself set up and then this is just what I'll be doing for life.

[nospoiler]I'd really like to run some sort of review blog/channel/whatever but I just don't have the time it feels like. Maybe one day.[/blog]

Been on 4chan since like 2004, I can't really remember, shoop da woop, longcat, and chargin mah lazer were the popular memes. Came because I was around when /toy/ got made and it looked fun.
Ended up being here because /toy/ got me back into plamo and into imported toys in general, stayed because pretty much every other dedicated toy forum is worse and usually single-line.

I only really go to /a/ buyfag threads and /toy/ anymore. /tg/ turned into a shitfest of all quest threads, if they allowed statueshit here I'd have very little reason to continue going to /a/

For awhile I was really interested in photography, I found toys good subjects as they don't move and could be posed. I started mostly only using legos from my childhood and a few action figures but eventually became interested in getting new toys to photograph. Eventually my interesting photography kinda went away, I've had thoughts of starting again, but my interest in toys remained. I used other boards on here and seeing as it had a toy board I thought I might as well try going here.

Sorry for the blog post.

I came to /toy/ during summer 2015 after buying my first figure. I think I was trying to fill a void after losing someone special.

I stick around for photo and robot damashii generals. I also enjoy lurking pretty much all action figure and building toys threads. And I enjoy the haul threads a lot.

Dude.
Camera here off of /m/ hoping to talk about robot toys and specifically revos around 2009 or so.
Stayed because at least back then the community wasn't toxic and now even though it's kinda shit there's still more capacity for fun than any other board I visit on here now that /tg/ is horsecock generals and /m/ has nothing to talk about. Also you faggots make me get into stuff I had no idea I'd love like modern 3rd party TFs, Marvel legends and other awesome shit like Daibadi. Love you faggots. Even dragging my girlfriend into this shit with the vidya stuff I have.

to /toy/, or to 4chan? 4chan in general was porn, back in 2005 or '06. I forget when /co/ was created but I frequented that soon after. We used to have infrequent proto-/toy/ threads back then, mostly on comic figures like Marvel Legends. When /toy/ opened I naturally came over.
As for toys in general, I never really stopped collecting. I collected Batman toys as a young kid, Power Rangers and Beast Wars as well. BW made me sort of a lifelong TF fan, but it's wained in recent years. Kept buying toys through middle school and high school since my brother-in-law taught me how to appreciate figures.I collect a little of everything now, mainly robots and monsters, though.

I stay because of the variety of topics and relative speed of discussion. traditional forums for a lot of my interests tend to move at a snail's pace. The quality of discussion can also be a lot better, eve with shitposting. At least shitposting here is intentional.

Initially a curious look at the general world of toy collecting and what was popular currently. I collected Marvel Legends in my teens but sorta stopped. Also a few months later for Gunpla generals.
>What made you stay?
/toy/ inspired me to collect and become interested in the toy collecting scene again. I don't buy stuff often but just coming to this board feels sorta comfy to me. That and my rekindled interest in Gunpla and I'm beginning to buy Dtagon Ball SHF stuff.

sounds like you weren't there before /tg/ was created.
The level of hilarity that came from RP threads where everyone pretended to be whatever universe their respective mecha/weapon/whatever image came from is only found on /k/ now.
Not even /tg/ has great threads like this anymore.

Also, generals ensure that boards will continue to spiral into low quality content, because fresh meat isn't allowed or welcomed.

Not really. It all makes sense, actually. All the shitty walmart toy buyers are too young to have credit cards and can't buy actual good figures from amiami or HLJ. That's why we have such prominent Neca, Hasbro, and WoN buyer communities. They're stuck with whatever's on the pegs because mom and dad won't lend them their credit cards.

Let's be honest - if you could actually purchase good toys, why in the world would you still buy something chintzy like a Marvel legends figure?

/v/ unfortunately, in like '07 or something. /toy/ in particular when I got back into transformers with Prime, so sometime around '11? Honestly though, this is the only board I frequent anymore because it's got the least/most tolerable shitposting. Go figure.

Seeing cool new stuff. As much shit as generals get, it was really fun just going into random ones and seeing amazing, expensive toys after the bricks I grew up with. Also, this is for better or worse the best place to keep up with new releases and actually discuss stuff. There's an even chance you'll get trolled to oblivion if you've got a question, but I don't have time to post on a dozen different forums for specific lines anymore. Photography was also a big draw, both other people's and my own attempts. It doesn't hurt that it's pretty much the only form of actual OC on the board. I'm still shit at it, but it's still fun.

Here's how to fix your "problem":

Ask yourself if you have been formally diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria. Your answer is going to be no, most likely. Then ask yourself "What genitals do I have?". This is the fun part; Look down your trousers, if you see a sausage-lookin' fella, you're a dude. If you see nothing, but reach down and feel something like an Arby's sandwich, congrats, you're a lady.

Used to only visit /tg/ but since only one in ten threads there actually interest me i didn't really have much to read and post about, so i came over to /toy/ one bored evening.

First thread i read was one where the OP had just had their leg amputated and was requesting pictures to cheer him up. The way everyone just came out of the woodwork was the greatest thing i've ever seen on 4chan, and all the pictures people were submitting had me howling all night. It's also amazing that /toy/ loves skeletons even more than /tg/ does, which further cemented how much i enjoy this board.

Since then /toy/ has been my main board and i really enjoy the community (sans the shitposting and /tv/ attitude that's creeping its way in).

my dad got me into collecting figures, building models, comics, cartoons, anime, etc. his collection is elder god tier. I got into modern stuff heavy but through self realization discovered material possessions do not make me happy so now I just keep a "core 4" of figures that will always bring me joy, have memories with, etc.
I stay here mainly because I've been on 4chan in general for 10 years/like being "in the know" for toys, models, and figures even though I'm not into it as much anymore.

Not really sure what brought me here. fuzziest memory is being linked to 2ch from somewhere. I forgot what i was looking at then, but after browsing around their toy boards, i thought id see if 4ch had one. you did, and you guys were my first board.

There werent a lot of active toy boards that weren't centered on a single toyline, and this ended up being that sort of place. Also i liked the idea of being anonymous and this entire community's loose ethics so much that i dropped message boards altogether

I've always really liked figures, and I had vaugely heard about figmas and stuff online. When I was a kid I had a ton of those 5poa Ben 10 figures (can't believe how long ago that show came out), and I also enjoyed plamo but never got into
Gundam. But I did enjoy the 2005 line of B-Daman back in the day, and I'd occasionally buy a simple plamo kit from Anime con vendors to build when I got bored. I think seeing everyone splurge about those Pokemon D-Arts on /vp/ made me remember about all those cool high-end Japanese figures out there. Around mid-2014 I left /vp/ because I was getting a bit bored of Pokemon (not to mention the board sucks) and eventually wandered onto here after buying a Generations Armada Starscream on a total whim during the summer- never had a ton of experience with Transformers as a kid. I liked it so much I starting reading the TFWiki like mad and soon discovered Transformers Generals on /toy/.

>What made you stay?
/toy/'s a nice, slowish board, even if lots of /tfg/-goers are idiots that will derail and piss away threads constantly. I like getting recommendations for figures, hearing announcements, and discussing recent releases. Too bad since it's kinda slow and small that there's no specialized moderators for it. I'd say we have a bit of a shitposting problem but I haven't wandered enough to other boards and lurk as constantly there to prove that we're worse off than larger boards are.

Transformers are pretty much all I'm buying right now, but I also have a few random plamo kits I've built (Kotobukiya Roll and Frame Arms Girl Gourai come to mind) and a pair of Busou Shinkis (Arnval and Strarf, v1) that I should really mess with more.

I'm slowly delving into animu so I'll probably end up buying my first figmas at some point, too.

I've posted on 4chan for a decade and collected toys for even longer. When /toy/ was added I would check it out but it seemed overwhelmingly geared towards Transformers and Lego, two things I do not care about.
What made me come back and stick around was the discussions of Japanese articulated figures which have become the main focus of my collection and I don't think any other forum covers those as well as /toy/.

After my long-time girlfriend and I broke up, I was pretty emotionally wrecked. I buried myself in my classwork at college, but even that and vidya never took all of my time, so I ended up getting into toys, partially for the little rush I would get when things shipped or arrived, or I unboxed them. It was a little sad, but that's how I dealt with loss I guess. The thing that got me back into toys was the BioShock bouncer big daddy, then I started browsing /toy/ after Pacific Rim came out, and I was following the new toy releases.

I guess I stayed because I like it here. People are mostly friendly and helpful, and I find new figures I never would have heard of otherwise. My girlfriend and I are back together (2 years later) and quite happy, but I still collect because its fun, and I got into toy photography more recently. /toy/ is one of the best places to talk about toys, plain and simple.

Don't be a cock. You don't know anyone else's life. We both ended up living life independently for a while, I had my fair share of other women, and we both realized we were happiest together.

>What brought you here?
I got tired of getting banned from other toy boards. Collectors tend to be real thin-skinned crybabies with bizarre senses of brand loyalty and I just can't deal with that. It's impossible to tell who's grown and who's a child because they act exactly the same
>What made you stay?
I ran out of other options. Until about 8 months ago I've been pretty anti-4chan since it started, but I'm not into memes or anime so it'd be kinda weird if I was here for anything other than hard toy talk.

Came to 4chan out of curiosity after hearing about /b/ and shit. Saw a /toy/ board and found a bunch of people who were talking about figures that weren't really talked much about at the time on other forums.

What brought you here:
I used to browse 4chan in high school. I had started buying toys again because I liked some of the Bayformers and was seeking advice. I still have my Bumblebee.

What made you stay:
I feel like /toy/ is one of the only boards that actually feels like a community. People have actual discussions and offer advice when asked. It's not just, "I like thing." "You're gay." "YOU'RE GAY!"

I've ended up buying a lot of stuff I don't need because of some of the stuff that pops up, but it's been fun.

I'm on 4chan since the very beginning. Came for the H material, stayed for the funny shit. /toy/ was created just when I was starting to get into toy collecting (I somewhat collected a few things during my teen years but not much) so I started lurking here too. I stopped going to /b/ and the porn boards years ago. Nowadays, I pretty much only visit /toy/, /tv/, /ck/, /v/ and very rarely /a/.

I don't know of any other place with this much activity where I can discuss so many different toylines.

Discovered 4chan a few years ago and decided to just sweep through all the boards. Found toy and reminded my self that i still had most of my toys from my childhood and sparked a renewed interest.

Some threads are still funny and the brutally honest opinions no matter how much of a shitpost can sometimes make me second guess myself. Though there really isn't any reason to stay here since my collection has moved towards more 1/6 and /toy/ doesn't have regular threads about that scale very often.

I used to browse /a/ all the time until I remembered that I had never finished watching Saint Seiya when I was a kid. Rewatched it and absolutely needed to recollect the Myth Cloths I had as a kid so I decided to pay this board a visit.
>What made you stay?
As others have said it's pretty chill and not at all like shitty toy forums. I've expanded to SHF, RDs, and Figmas now and I actually prefer the slow pace of this board rather than /a/'s. Also the toy photo threads have some great content and people are generally helpful.

I never knew so many people were interested in toys. Keep in mind this board was introduced before the nerd pop culture explosion. I had been away from collecting for a few years at that point and this board got me back into toys in a big way.

I'm well aware she has had sex with other guys, why would I care? I've never understood 4chans obsession with virginity. My girlfriend actually has a condition which makes most penetrative sex come with significant pain, so she didn't really do much while we were apart anyway. She's finally trying to get out treated now though, so that's good

Despite the occasional drama, /toy/ is way, way less spergy and sad than any other forum I've been to. Also the fact that there's such a broad range of discussion and pretty much anything goes. It's exposed me to a lot of different toy lines that I otherwise would have missed.
