Dead Toy Lines

ExoSquad
SD Gundam Force (yeah I was that one guy)
MSiA (the inferior american figures)
C.O.P.S.
The old 8 inch Power Ranger line
Starcom
Microman 2000

Robo Force.

Those fucking ugly "looks nothing like them" Glyos toys don't count as a revival. Give the license to someone who actually cares.

>>6090113
I had some SD force figures as well, I don't remember the exact line though, they were pretty tiny and had swappable parts

>>6090099
Bionicle and I wish NECA made the rest of the L4D specials

RIP Palisades, the quality of your muppets toys were unmatched, wish tou could have lived to produce the Sesame Street line...

>>6090125
Did they stop making those candy toy robots? I thought that was a pretty recent line

>>6090113
>MSiA (the inferior american figures)

JMSiA really weren't all that far ahead of USMSiA. And man, those were magical times. Going to your local Wal-Mart and seeing Gundams all over the shelf. If I had a /toy/ time machine and only one shot with it, that would be mychoice.

I was juuust too young to get into Gundam when it was popular in America as a kid but I doo remember seeing some unpopular MSIA figures shelfwarming during the later years of the popularity decline. Looking back there were some really lit toys in that line, I mean fuck a Big Zam that was in scale with the rest of the line, incredible.

Pic related was the Shelf Lord of that time. Strangely enough I can't find any pics of an unopened one.

>>6090172
I don't think the battle scarred line was very popular either, the weathering was overdone to the point where it just looked like shit.

>>6090182
Oh man, I totally forgot about those. They all looked so bad and shelf-warmed.

>Let's make a line of action figures that already look dirty and broken in the packaging!

what were they thinking.

Though not technically dead I do miss the earlier days of 3A, they were really solid up until like 2014 when they all but stopped making wwr stuff. They still have the occasional good release but both the quality of the designs as well as the toys themselves has definitely fallen.

I feel you, I remember the days when WWR seemed to be rolling a real good direction

Ashley needs to stop jerking off over feet

>>6090220
Weathering I get but shit like this and the aforementioned battle scarred figures, like it's just destroyed

>>6090218
WWR and Adventure Kartel 1/6 were both absolutely god-tier toylines. All the more so for being completely original properties, and very affordable by 1/6 standards.

God I miss 2011-2013 era ThreeA.

>>6090223
At least the wave of constant Pascha releases indicated some sort of inspiration, even if it was fetishism (honestly solid theme for an art toyline)

They really just seem to have run out of steam, the designs seem more and more uninspired, meanwhile the slipping quality and flood of liscenses are doing nothing but help to alienate the fan base, the state of the forums and fanpages is pathetic, there was more activity back when 3A regularly did runs of toys in the hundreds instead of mass producing.
I should really stop ranting but 3A really needs to bring back the classic Ashley Wood charm.

>>6090227
Fuck they're stuff has always been so reasonable, $100 1/6 with exquisite paint and the best scale clothing in the game was a total steal back in the day. At least the resale market is super buyer friendly now.

A lot of character's iconic scenes take place when the hero has been put through the ringer, looking like hell. The T-800 taking down the T-1000, RoboCop taking down the ED-209 and earning his human name again, Optimus vs Megatron's last stand in Autobot City, a limping and broken Max taking down the rest of the Toecutter's gang, Goku fighting frieza in the longest 5 minutes ever.

>>6090274
I guess I'm just not partial to scene specific action figures, I'd rather just have a good representation of the character.

I miss Marvel Legends.

Greatest line of all time.

Fully painted figures, with most articulation for a line ever, tons of extras, great sculpts, for not a lot of money. Toy Biz was the bro-est company ever.
It's a little weird knowing that Perlmutter is the epitome of a Jew stereotype and yet it was under his direction that they gave so much value to their toys.

One of the best micro lines.

I miss micro lines.
You got a whole lot of awesome minis for your money.

>>6090515

That looks familiar. Were those the ones where all the little vehicles had secondary modes?

Like you take the little tanks and sit them upright with the little feet on the back, and the turret flips down to make it a gun tower.

>>6090165

Yeah I kinda regret not importing that Big Zam. Those G Gundam four kings (?) figures were pretty fucking awesome. We got figures that Japan didn't, right?

As far as SD Gundam Force, I had really hoped we got those Dogas or at least better pictures than the one shitty picture I got waaaaay back when.

Yes, some of the tanks did that- although the other micro vehicles were more conventional. (tanks with normal turrets, rocket launchers with removable rockets, VTOL aircraft with moving thrusters, planes with removable missiles, helicopters with spinning rotors.) Most of the larger vehicles had secondary modes, though.

I was really hoping for a US release

>>6090487
Too bad a small percentage of the toybiz figures look decent though, too many were overly detailed and ended up looking like shit.

Definitely do not miss the Toy Biz MLs.

You're off your rocker or don't realize how many waves of MLs there were.

There's like 2 or 3 waves that had a few questionable sculpts, but the vast majority of them still hold up or are better than 99% of toys currently being made.

>>6090700
The chicks always looked messed up.

Starcom
Battle Beasts

These two lines along side G.I. Joe practically were my childhood.

>>6090700
Is that an example of a wave that sucks? Those look so bad.

Even in the early waves, they're still better than the average Hasbro DCUC wave

>>6090729

Early wave Wolverine, Colossus and Beast are still my fav Marvel Legends, even counting the current ones. There's a style to the sculpts that I really enjoyed.

I think you're confusing the two lines, considering how many of the Xevoz kits are for furries.

SOTA Street Fighter, ToyBiz M.L.s, :( :( :(


BUT the biggest most sad lost disappointment that could of been was "HBO CC". Were going to be 6-9 inch scale range qne had incredible detail, articulation, colors and everything really.

The planned line of SHF type figures of famous HBO original programming characters. That's all I could think of for the 20 or so hours after it was announced. Then something happened. (And because of it being such a thoroughly important operation it involved information of all types, even some defined by possible unimportance: initial evidence/existence removal, followed by moving near a much larger soapbox; effectively making all recorded information available to everyone.

Religion, race or sex orientation, none of it mattered, everyone was suddenly equal to knowing HBOs good word. Then 20 hours after the announcement it started getting cleaned off the face of our planet! People abruptly stopped talking about it all. Their hopes of famous characters being included, certain accessories. You know, normal shit we communicate while we nerd out lol. That Monday thru Tuesday was how long HBOs Collectible Characters existed. I didn't get the memo apparently

On Wednesday I made a topic on whatever message board I frequented at the time about hoping that the release dates weren't based on single shows, my dream series was going to be made up of the 6 coolest fuckers around!


(Rust Cohle of True Detective, Vern Schillinger and Chris Keller of Oz, Tony Soprano of Soprano's lol and All Swearagen and Mr Bullock of Deadwood. Were then BTW!)

Woke up Thursday with a email warning me to keep my "you poor and lost nigger faggot, thinking you might be a jizz vampire because you love men cum in or around your dirty AIDS bug fixated mouth. No more warnings". All because I think good quality 6-7inch figures from quality TV series would be great to collect.


Well I'm not tired anymore. So no more silence from me you faggots. I hate you all so much.

>>6090906
Literally wrong.
Stifkas were one of the first creator-lines, prior to the crowd funding campaigns we see now. They were actually pretty fun.

>>6090216
>>6090515
Oh man, Megaforce makes the fa/tg/uy side of me squeal with joy.

Fucking loved those things. They had so much character and charm.

>>6090607
Hell yeah. I only had like 4 of them but damn do I ever regret not keeping them. The gorilla guy was fucking awesome.

I also miss those Megaman figures with the swappable armor. Those things were pretty damn sweet, if a bit too expensive for me at the time.

>>6090099

I'm a big fan of Mighty Max

When it comes to more recent stuff, I really miss 66 action, although SHODO's thankfully pretty damn good too.

>>6090700
>>6090729
Thats just nostalgia dude
They all had bad proportions. Whats the point of individual finger articulation? It just made their hands really big and fat.
That daredevil is also one of the worst figures I've seen in person. Swivels for the shoulders and hips? Really? Captain america was also bad. he looked fucking deformed.
The detail was great though

>>6090967
this line had a great run though. I wish they started doing the demons, I think those would have sold even if someone didn't exactly care for Hellboy comics.

Now to clarify : I mourn the death of Kamen Rider 66 action

I really liked the quality of these figures. Great sculpt, paint, size, and price. I didn't care too much of the designs for a lot of them but wished other properties would've released figures just like these. Like Digimon or other kaijyu franchise like Godzilla and Ultra series.

Osushi Sentai Schallyders (Sharida)

I'm not sure if sales bombed hard or they released all that they intended, but I wanted more of the bad guys generals. The Ikura one hinted there were two other gunkan-maki types and I'm sad they never made it to toy form.

Haha my select image was for sushi.
