What can fill this void in my heart, /toy/?
Does anything (good) even remotely close to Stikfas exist anymore?
>>5944590
Xevoz, Bionicle, Hero Factory...uh...Hero Mashers?
>>5944593
Xevoz is close but the line's long dead. The others aren't exactly close. More looking for the open-ended nature of the figures rather than the mix and match parts.
>>5944590
Look up Modi-Bot on Shapeways. I even think it's by the same designers.
>>5944663
I guess if you're looking for minimalistic stuff, these hipster Stikbot figures will fit. They are jointed with elastic strings, somewhat BJD style. Saw them appearing on shelves a few months back.
OR you could just get old stikfas figures. I think their Singaporean distributor still have a handful of post-hasbro sets and blisters they have been trying to clear all these years.
>>5950656
I thought those were really shitty and fell apart super fast?
>>5954868
The quality varied. I think some batches were made when they were partnered (or something) with Hasbro and then they were brittle after they split. The ones during their time with Hasbro and before were the best ones.
This thing was the best. I wish I could find one and I'd never ever do anything to alter its perfection. I still have a skeleton and a green cuboyd. Everything was customized and look like crap now.

I was mainly referring to the post-hasbro Stikfas, I thought those were the ones that fell apart all the time.

Have you checked out glyos anon?
Buildable, lots of vague shapes and parts along with retro-y sci fi heads. Standard figures are not super articulated but extra parts make them all that and more.
>>5960497
All sorts of different things possible
>>5960497
>>5960497
even dinosaurs!
>>5960497
..and bases...
>>5944590
If you're into the poseable nature of Stikfas, Lego's Bionicle and Star Wars figure lines have a lot to offer. Their modular building system primarily uses ball joints, which does wonders for articulation.
The sets you see on the shelves have armor and weapons and stuff, but being Lego, it's easy to take the character flairs off and be left with a blank-slate poseable figure to do whatever you want with.
>>5960497
..to more out there, creative builds. As someone who loved stikfas, I love these even more. They certainly hold up a few years later a lot better as well.
>>5960519
Oh, sorry for ccccombo-breaking, anon. That Glyos stuff looks really cool, but I hesitate to dive into it because I already have an existing collection of Lego sets.
>>5960497
OP here. I have checked out Glyos! Found out about them a couple months ago. Loved them.
Then I moved out of the US and now they're basically impossible to get.
>>5960690
Check for used lots, despite being a small toyline they aftermarket like shit, you can find larger collections with figures going for $2 a piece.
>>5960522
And you should break down and try some, I love legos as well but glyos is a lot more playable and forgiving- the figures feel like figures and you're never going to have a ship break apart on you, connections are very, very tight. Which does make the building harder, but that's the trade off. Speaking of building, I find building with glyos a lot more forgiving- slapping together 40 pieces gives me something that looks awesome, while slapping together anything in lego without instructions makes me feel like an idiot who can only make boxes.

Looking online, but I really can't find much. On eBay, one Crayboth is around £13. Cheapest thing I see is a callgrim warp pack.
Unless I just go for it and pay international shipping and import taxes.
>>5955914
I have one of these NIB still.
And a dragon, female, male and another one I forget.
>>5964082
If you have a genuine interest I'd suggest looking once every 5 days or so on ebay as well as the official BST forums.

This was a lot of almost 50 figures that sold last month for under $100. This kind of stuff pops up fairly often, ie usually at least once a month.
>>5962601
Yeah, it's unfortunate they they don't aftermarket too well. Well, anymore at least, I remember it being better a few years ago. Right now I'm sitting on a MASSIVE Glyos collection (easily $1000+ worth at retail, including old stuff, resin/metal casts, and customs) that I'm not doing much with, but I feel troubled about selling because I probably wouldn't make even close to that. And yet...tuition payments loom on the horizon...
>>5967025
Yeah, the market topped out around what, 2012? Too many sister lines, too many customs artists, and at the end of the day the entire fandom is under 500 people with really only probably 100 people buying consistently. Shame, because the toys themselves are top notch. Anyway, depending on your lot I might be willing to give you around $400 for it. Outside of splitting everything up and waiting years for half of it to not sell I doubt you'd do much better barring some game changer in the market.

I'd love to, but I feel that shipping would be a pain in the ass as someone living in Southeast Asia.
