OP here, I'll start with a dumb one.

I've got £400 leftover from Christmas that's burning a hole in my pocket and I'm looking to buy my first hot toys figure.

I've been looking at the classic predator for a few days, and I'm 99% sure this is what I want. My dilemma is where to buy it from. He can be bought from UK sellers on eBay for £350, or overseas sellers for £225. My question is, is it worth saving £125 and buying from abroad? Like I said, this is my first hot toys so I don't know anything about bootlegs or knock-offs, or which retailers can be trusted.

This is the one I'm thinking of buying:

Can anyone ID this guy? Bottom of his foot says 1987 Bandai.

>>6095684

Just looked through the Sentai and Metal Hero series toys from 1986 - 1988 and couldn't find anything.

I'm interested, hopefully someone leads you to it.

If you're American, send Neca customer service a message on Twitter and ask for a replacement piece.

>>6093043
Why are you concerned with "clogging up the board" when the thread at the bottom of the catalog was last bumped four and a half days ago?

>>6098443
Because seeing dozens of threads with 5~ posts (3 being from the OP bumping his own dumbass question) with a blurry pic accompanied by some stupid title 'HOW MUCH IS THIS KENNER STAR WARS FIGURE WORTH' or 'WHAT IS THIS FIGURE FROM?' annoys me.

For those who paint models, what do you do during the winter? Do you assemble it and wait until a warm day or do you just risk it?

Even if I get hit by import charges I'll be saving money compared to buying on ebay.

ebay? There's probably some makaimura keshi on there right now

I've always wanted to collect keshi but they're way too damn expensive for what they are

I remember having these things that came with some weapons and a shield thingy. The head, shield, and torso were chromed. Not sure if the arm weapon was chromed.
There were three of these, one with a mouse head, one with a tiger head, and one with a dragon head. I really don't remember the exact details of their designs so this is as close as I can make it.
Also their boxart implied they were piloted.

Are these from a toyline or just some random decently executed bootlegs?

For tag teams, should I pitch in the extra money for Elites or am I just wasting my money and go for the Battle Packs in Mattel WWE figures. Main team I want right now are the Dudleys (Favorite tag team of all time)

Pic somewhat related

>>6098977
Elites are always better (with wrestling figures what you want is articulation so they can.actually be posed to wrestle) but the Dudley Battle Pack at least comes with a nice table.

I fucking love EMS, even though it cost the same as an average figma...

Pray with me now lads, don't let those customs taxing parcelforce bastards take it away from me.

I placed and paid for an order on HLJ on the 28th and I still haven't recieved any shipping notice. Is this normal? What's the average waiting time for HLJ to ship stuff out?

>>6099787
It's probably because of the time of year. They can take up to 3 days anyways, so you might be waiting until Monday.

>>6099016
Well shit. I noticed a Dudley Battle Pack for half price what it would cost for both the Elites so I thought I'd be able to snag a deal (T. extreme poorfag that by the time I can actually save up for a figure it's double the price because it's vaulted or whatever the fuck they call it). Hopefully I'll be able to get $40 together for those Elites

How is it that, in an era where toy collectors from all over the globe can connect through a forum at any time, all of the time, discussion is sparse at best?

Is there a better or more active toy forum?

There's a lot of places to get them. It depends what look you like. Even just eBay has a lot, Amiami and HLJ too. Just search "1/12" or "1/12 doll" and furniture should come up

>>6099787
Yes this is normal. Just check you didn't send it to Private Warehouse by accident or something though!

The neck of my F/GO Scathach figure is snapped. What should I use to fix it? I'm worried superglue will cause frosting.

Just bought Neca Deadpool. My first 1/4 scale figure. Can someone recommend a good stand for it? I looked on ebay and saw a jerry-rigged coathanger some asshole is selling for $13

I need a little help with identifying a toy from my childhood. My grandpa bought it for me in a thrift store when i was around 7 and since i lost it when moving homes. It was rather large (around 6 inches long) and it clearly was a part of some kind of set given how it had studs on its legs for something (a rider?) to link with. The tail could be pushed and it made wings lift and something happen with the mouth (was it shooting something?). Body was made of hard plastic but i remember legs being a little bit more elastic (but i can remember it wrong).

How do you guys clean your toys? I have so many of them and they get so dusty I usually just get a container of soapy hot water and dump them in for a second before pulling them out and letting them dry. Do you think this'll hurt the paint if I do it enough?

Friend is in Japan so I asked him to pick me up one of these for me if he can. If he can't, where can I find them here in Murrica, specifically southern California? I don't know much about them other than they're cute as hell and pic related are part of a series of toys called VAG (kek) - Vinyl Artist Gacha. I've also seen bigger and more beautiful models but I don't know the prices of them because they're difficult to find online (and when I do the website is japanese or a toy website with little information).

I tried looking online and I found one website that sells them individually, but everything else just sells them in sets that are a bit over my budget.

Closest weeby place to me is Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. There are like 3 Jungle stores with a lot of Godzilla collectibles (pic related is apparently a kaiju) and one artsy toy shop. Might be my best bet but I don't know if they sell these. Does anyone by any chance know?

>>6105201
Here's an example of the bigger versions. They come in all sorts of colors and designs.

>>6100575
I can only answer 2 of those but here it goes.
I have the Arc Gurren Lagann from Revoltech, it's my least favorite figure even though I love the design, so that's that.
As for looking like an autist, either don't give a shit or try to set them up as decoration.

>>6105190
Mild hand Soap should be okay. Just don't use anything with solvents like window cleaners or antiseptic soap.

You also need some mechanical action to be effective. Scrubbing with a used soft bristle toothbrush works. I usually stick whatever toy that can fit into my ultrasonic cleaner.

Where can i buy nude/lewd, fully articulated anime figures?

>>6105201
Its not that particular release, but I found an older drop with the same mold.

http://www.myplasticheart.com/pc/VAGS9RANGERON//Vinyl+Artist+Gacha+Series+9+%3A+Rangeron

The bigger ones usually resell for around $70+, which isn't bad considering its Japanese vinyl and it retails for around $35. Be careful though, friend. Sofubi is a steep, slippery slope.

Thanks!

I ended up looking more into it last night and found a whole world I didn't know existed....so I get what you mean with the "slippery slope" comment, haha. Everything looks so unique and beautiful.

Ya know that new Voltron you can assemble with the five lions?

Can you mix and match the limbs or are they set in their position?

>>6093043
My figma sucks what a meme company

>>6106574
Which figma anon?

Is Mandarake still the best place to get Tamashii Web Shop exclusives? And older stuff that's sold out in the usual stores?

>>6104783
Nah.
It was a spindly mecha kind of figure. The proportions of the drawing are mostly accurate.

>>6106567
At best you could probably switch the legs with each other.

What's a good way to hang Funko Reaction cards on walls? I was thinking some kind of tape. but I don't want it to peel the back if I have to take it off at some point.

Hate ReAction but maybe you can buy store displays like wire grids + their pegs and just hang your carded collection on there. You could probably get a 6' grid wall and its pegs for less than a hundred + shipping. Not sure about wall mounted ones.

Really gripey question.

Why do people post pictures with their grimy hamhands holding their figure. Really grinds my gears.

Can't be bothered to clip and clean his hands.

>>6107478
I've seen worse nails than that.

Also because its "easier" than having the figure standing on their own 2 feet, bet mouth breathers like your chap leave them in a box

Is Graphitti Designs' Hellboy figure any good?

I've been wanting a Hellboy figure, particularly a comic Hellboy, for a while, and have probably missed the boat on getting a Mezco figure for any sort of reasonable price.

It's an older figure so I'm not expecting incredible articulation or anything, nor is that really something I need from the figure, but are there any major flaws keeping it from being worth buying?

I picked this up at a flea market for $5. Yes, I'm aware that it's Kamen Rider Black, but I can't find anything about this specific figure online because I can't read the damn box. Any one see this before?

>>6111764
i think it's the one that can interact with the TV screen

go download some random episode and skip right to henshin scene and see if it's working

>>6111778
Well, shit i forgot to said when it was. I got it somewhere in late '90 so obviously it couldn't be made later.

>>6111079
Ehh, ended up going for it anyway. It came out to about $20 shipped so it's not like if I'm disappointed with it I wasted too much money.

What would be the best material to repair this part on my Figuarts Battle Droid? Epoxy? Super glue?

It is a moving part, it moves with the torso when it's posed. It arrived partially broken and split apart after some testing.

>>6116712
Are you avoiding Part 3 Jotaro because of the manlet syndrome?
Since you have Jojo's 1, 2, 4 and 5 I'd suggest him, Part 4 version would do the job, I suppose, or Gappy/Jolyne.

>>6117065
also in walmart sporting goods depts, for fishing tackle

File: pinvice.jpg (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

>>6117080

Personally I'd pin it since it's going to be under stress as you move it and just gluing it will probably just lead to it breaking again.

You'd need a pinvice like pick related, a small enough bit and then something to actually use as the pin. A paperclip or something should do.

I've repaired a few of my toys this way, it's the best method IMO.

>>6116725
Get the rest of the jojos, I think Gappy is up for an ok price on amazon.

I've been using these little storage containers called "really useful boxes" for about 3 years now and I love em. They're sold individually or you can get them in slide out containers that hold 16, which is what I always get.

They're great for housing extra accessories like hands and faces, and only really fall short in terms of bigger parts like capes, huge swords, and larger body-sized accessories. Plus the smallest print setting on windows default printing application is the perfect size for printing out labels.

I'm up to about 12 now, which hold about 192 separate containers, which is more than enough. You can find em online for around $15-$20, but they're sold at hobby stores like AC Moore too.

>>6117017
they have their stands, you just can't see them :^)

>>6117176
Actually, I've been mostly avoiding Jotaro because I had and sold one previously and I don't want to admit my mistake and buy the same thing twice. I'm not even sure I'm gonna keep the Jojo theme going, I have a bad habit of getting into themes like that without caring too much about the characters.

>>6117638
See above. I don't even like Giorno or Joseph that much, certainly not my favourite characters from their parts.

The Gashapon versions are available in machines at Mandarake. That's where I got mine. They sometimes sell out fast.

If your friend is in Osaka, there's a street in Denden town, same one as Jungle, that has a few gashapon hole in the walls that also had these.

What's so good about Monopoly? I've heard it praised by /toy/ denizens in other boards before and came here wondering.

Does anyone know of any decent places to buy individual Petit Nendoroids? I have a few of the Love Live ones and would like to gather a complete set, but the best I can find outside of overpriced eBay auctions is places selling entire boxes of 10. Or would I just be better off getting a box and selling the duplicates?

>>6106740
Yup. Amiami's preowned section is often pretty good for Tamashii Web stuff as well; they don't have the 500Y fee for totals that are under 5000Y and you don't have to worry about which store the items are shipping from.

>>6116712
Between the Bluefin prices and Prime shipping, Amazon is pretty great for Gunpla. The HG IBO kits are fun as hell and pretty cheap.

>>6117746
I'm kinda indefinitely done with gunpla. The two I have were gifts, I've gotten rid of all the other kits I've done. I just got to that point where I wasn't satisfied with how much work I was putting in, but I couldn't justify spending a bunch of money on paints and and airbrush and all of that to maybe stretch the hobby out a bit more.

>>6117743
I've never been hit with the ¥5000 yen fee, is that because all my purchases have been from Sahra?

They cut it out entirely last year, I guess they figured the extra smaller orders would be worth the labor involved in shipping 800 yen orders.

Why no Tsum thread?

>>6098724
A-anyone?

Can I order from multiple stores in the same order on Jungle, or does it work like Mandarake's stores?

>>6119075
Pretty sure it's the same as Mandarake. They're not going to combine your order if three of your items are in three different stores.

Anyone know of a joint replacement part I could use for rio bone figures?

More specifically the Panty and Stocking figures as their hand joints look fairly flimsy and mine have started to bend a bit from just swapping out the hands and I don't want to risk breaking them.

I get most of mine through miniatures.com. I'd suggest requesting a catalog. They have coupons and will randomly send surprise 20-30% off coupons, too. Also had a good experience with a refund; sent a picture of the broken cake dish and they didn't need me to return it before sending out a new one.

I don't collect Transformers so when you guys talk about classes like 'Voyager' and shit i have no idea what you mean. Is there a listing out there anywhere that explains the terms?

>>6126375
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Size_class#Size_class_chart

The tldr for current lines is
3" legends
6" deluxe
8" Voyager
10" leader

>>6126393
Thanks, that explains some things.

Strange choices for names, though. I would figure 'Deluxe' to be one of the higher classes and not one of the lower.

>>6126450
If I had to guess, it's a holdover from the 90's when it went basic > deluxe > mega > ultra. Basics were five bucks, deluxes were ten, and most kids rarely got stuff bigger than that. "Deluxe" was all about that perceived value for their most popular price point.

>>6126456
The scout, voyager, leader names came about during TF:Cybertron to fit with the adventure, space exploration theme...they don't really match anything after that but Hasbro kept using them anyhow.

Well, pick your poison:
HLJ/AmiAmi where shipping will fuck your asshole if you want tracking and your product in a timely manner.

US based shops like BBTS/TFS/etc who will charge you more before they imported it for you, but you'll probably get your shit much faster even with snail mail shipping.

Depends where you are, Japanese sellers are usually the safest bet (hobby search, hobby link japan, amiami) but shipping from them directly *might* be costly depending on where you are, I personally use hobby link japan's private warehouse service and bulk order heaps of shit so its not as painful in the long run.

Where are you based anon, I'm in Australia and use Premium collectables, they offer free shipping if orders are over $100 (so most of the larger transformers masterpieces are free shipping) and doing the early bird pre-orders (as in watching their facebook/instagram updates on when listings go up) gives good discounts (I got delta magnus the ultra magnus repaint for $140aud, that's pretty good for such a huge asshole)

Only problem is they can be a tad "slow" when shipping and responding to emails, some patrons are still waiting on mp ramjet after all this time though some last month reported getting theirs in, still waiting on my mp primal myself.

Mind you if you want the exclusives its big bad toy shop/tf express/premium colelctables/robot kingdom and you WILL pay more because they essentially buy directly from the takara tomy mall then resell back to you (and you'd need a proxy to do this yourself as the takara tomy mall is a japanese only webshop)

As always, AVOID ebay, I've gotten lucky and only gotten one bootleg but managed to get it refunded down to the price of a retail voyager

From a collectable standpoint, do you guys keep the cardboard box that the actual toy/figure box comes in?

I've still got the cardboard box my 3zero t45 power armour came in and it has the weights as well as DESCRIPTION:FALLOUT 4 T45 POWER ARMOUR (EXCLUSIVE) on it. wondering if there's any future reason to keep it . What do you say /toy/?

>>6128262

Boxes are useful if you're moving, or if you plan to sell it later at some point. I keep my boxes (as I might move one day because I live in a shitty apartment), but if you're not having to move, or are 100% sure you'll never sell that thing, you can probably chuck the box with no worries.

>>6128262
my house is about 16 feet wide, so i get rid of every box that isn't particularly neat or useful
there's just not enough room to keep them without a good reason

>>6128262
Depends on the box ... Some times I like to use elements of the packaging to make displays, posters, things like that

Is anyone else not receiving emails from Jungle? I know they're switching their international site around in a couple days, but I'm not sure if that's the problem or something with my email.

>>6128262
I only keep certain boxes.

Neca, Black Series, world of Nintendo, pretty much all of my 'low end' toys packaging gets thrown away. The exception being Neca ultimate figures which come in really nice uniform boxes with a velcro flap on the front.

Figma, Figuarts, Mafex, Revoltech and Hot Toys boxes are all kept so I can rotate my display while keeping all accessories accounted for, and potentially sell them on if I ever wanted/needed to.

I know /toy/soldiers have more experiences with usps than I do, so perhaps you can help me with my issue: I ordered from bbts using usps express delivery (my only option). Before packets have arrived normally with no issues.

This time it has taken some time and I decided to use order tracking. Pic related. I dont understand the latest status. Did my packet leave back to US, or was something left behind and is now being delivered? At least I didnt receive any kind of notification from anywhere. Please help me understand.

How long does it take for JapanPost to settle an insurance claim?

>USPS lost my package in the beginning of December
>I started the claim halfway through the month
>I got the form from USPS to confirm I never received it and faxed AND mailed it back to them right before New Year's

And I've heard absolutely nothing since then. Is this an "any day now" situation or do I need to poke AmiAmi for a status update?

>>6139999
I have the same problem, i usually receive packages fast, but this time usps has me waiting a month already. It said almost two weeks ago that it was already in my country but never updated from there. My post office says it's not even in the country yet...

Is bad dragon /toy/ approved?
Any models you guys recommend?

>>6140039
hmmm.. could it be an issue in their tracking system then.Maybe it tracks the supposed optimal packet route instead of actual movement of the packet. They have some kind of maintenance going on this weekend as well that COULD be causing this.

But whhat confuses me is the use of word departed. It would lead me to believe something is only just now leaving chicago. But why would this come AFTER my countrys customs if it not a return trip...

I've got one, OP.

I'm looking for some RC watercraft that is capable of towing a max of 1 pound on a separate raft.

First, some background.

My home board is /k/. There's a quarterly meet up happening in about a month. This particular one is going to include land with a small pond acting as a nice, natural firing line and geographical divider. It has long been tradition to blow something up with tannerite, but those are always static. Since this will NOT be static, some form of boat or another to act as a tugboat to my one-time-use popsicle stick (or other stick; it's a fucking forested area) raft carrying .5 - 1.0 pound explosive charge with about 30 feet of fishing line.

I've only just begun research, and I'm on a budget (since I don't expect the tugboat to survive very long once the bullets start to fly). I ran across pic related in a local Wal-Mart, and reviews show it's capable of amphibious activity out of the box, but I don't know about a few other things.

-2.4 GHz is a decent freq, but it doesn't explain a max distance of transmission.
-rechargeable batteries are great, but I don't know the power drain on this 3.7v/450mAh, or how long it takes to fully recharge (some places say an hour, though)
-max speed is not listed, but video shows about 3-5 knots
-if it comes to it, I can rig it to drag a target out somewhere and release it to preserve the thing

Thoughts? Can I find better? Is there something more accessible that I haven't looked at?

>>6144613
Why not just tug the raft with fishing line?

1B, 486x500px

>>6144620
While technically a moving target, tugging it with fishing line is difficult when dealing with a pond that's 100m across and 600m long.

Firing line is on the right side, at the widest part of the pond, firing across to the westmost part

>>6144620
>>6144633
It's also not advised to be within 100 feet per pound of tannerite.

>>6114543
Post about it when you get it. It looks like its made of cheap hollow plastic, but I'm curious about getting it too. I missed out on Mezco also

You have anywhere from a week to two or three more. It's basically stuck in customs right now, most likely. Once you see it in a U.S. location that should mean it left customs.

I want to pick up either the revoltech or chogokin Gurren Lagann figure. I like the overall look of the revoltech more, and I have no problem with revoltech joints. On the other hand, the chogokin seems to be of a much nicer quality in terms of paunt and build. Thoughts and opinions?

Pic is which two I'm deciding between.

>>6167251
QB Revoltechs are made completely differently than that old shitty Rei. There's no comparison. Choose one of the Legacy reissues in the skinny yellow boxes because the older original releases have shitty joints that fall apart. Don't get Leina because she's the oldest and shittiest and has no reissue.

I have a question. I'm new to collecting so can someone tell me what Web exclusive is? Sorry for the dumb question. Pic not related

>>6167985
Some toys in some toylines have store exclusives (walmart exclusive, target exclusive, TRU exclusives, etc.). Some of these exclusives are only available through certain websites, like Premium Bandai exclusive goods can only be obtained through p-bandai.jp, thus web-exclusive.

>>6167993
Oh that makes sense. Thanks anon. I also heard that Web exclusives can't be reissued or something like that and to get them as they come out. What's up with that?

>>6167251
If you're going to buy Leina,keep in mind that she's quite small compared to the others- the closest to actual 1:12 scale .

She's like my 1:12 Chirico's tag team partner in my collection

>>6168040
For P-bandai exclusives, they are mostly made-to-order. Meaning they'll open a window to solicit preorders, and once the window closes, that's it. (you can still buy them from resellers/shops that ordered extra)

They will sometimes reissue stuff that's high in demand, but rarely.

>>6171495
honestly pretty much anything is going to leech chemicals into the water

>>6172127
So all those aquarium dodads like sunken ships, pirate chests and skeletons that are in thousands of fishtanks all over the world are killing poor fishies by the millions?
Horseshit.
It's faux paranoia and fear mongering. Like people being terrified of KO figures from China because of "lead paint" poisoning.

>>6171495
All you need to do is wash whatever you put in there really well and let it dry, then have at it. It's not made of industrial grade toxic waste. It's not going to kill your fish.

>>6172149
Lemme tell you a story senpai. Back when I was kid my dad bought us a fishtank when we moved in to our new home. He got some rocks from outside, boiled them to clean them from disease, and lined the tank with them. The fish died.
He tries again. More dead fish. And again. He asks the pet store clerk what's going on. I shit you not, the guy tells us that the soil has been infused with so much chemicals since my dad's childhood and mine that its toxic to the fish.
Be careful, my guy. Some fish are really sensitive to these things.

>>6173164
Sucks your land is so polluted. I've got a tank running right behind me with lots of local stone I picked up in my yard and the nearby park.

It's a good idea to 1. choose stone that's not porous (mine is quartzite and schist) and 2. ideally as ph neutral as possible (no limestone unless you want chiclids or other fish that tolerate it well)

>>6173164
That sucks, my rocks are the $6 jar at petsmart kind...

That being said, I doubt some plastic and paint is holding the same amount of presticides, poisons and shit that rocks laying out in the open are.

I'm gonna try potting a little something in there with just the plant. If there's something unhealthy about it, the plant will know before I ad in a critter.

I was only asking if there were certain plastic/paint combos that are water soluble, that kinda thing.

I have a bunch of SAS figures that have completely stuck joints (ie. unmovable, even though those areas should have articulation). How do I go about loosening them up?

>>6093043
Bought a Phicen muscular male body for making a custom figure. Too muscular, none of the regular clothes fit him. Anyone know where should I look for clothes that could fit him?

>>6173569
"Barty's Small and Beefy-Fine Clothiers for Men". It's a chain store that's located in discount malls.

>>6167552

Legacy figures are just re-releases of some older figures with their better joints. Sculpts are the same, all that changed was the joints being much, much better made.

>>6167251

Get the Legacy of the flipping grey clothed girl, it'll have the good joints. The other girl unfortunately never got a Legacy, so any you buy of her will probably have shitty old joint.

Before Marvel Legends existed, there was a line called Spiderman Classics that laid the groundwork for much of what ML would eventually become. Even after ML started up, there were one or two continuing sublines for certain characters. One of these sublines was Hulk Classics. That's what these two figures are from. The one on the left is (a very broken) Mecha Hulk, and the one on the right is War Hulk, missing all of his accessories.

Why are they in such shit shape? Did you literally find them on the ground?

Why the fuck does Amazon add like three months onto the release schedule of pre-order stuff? The figure comes out in May but is scheduled by amazon to ship out LATE August....

Needless to say I searched some more recently and was able to find it cheaper (even with great shipping) from Hype Tokyo and with the regular May release.

The fuck is amazon doing for those months even?

It features a pull back motor and has "Midori Japan" on the underneath. It is around 3cm in length, very similar to a Choro-Q / Penny Racer car.

When I googled Midori, all I could find was an alcoholic drink. Any help would be appreciated.

>There was a set of some sorts, different figures under the same name
>Came in either green or red
>One figure had chainsaw or similar attachment on their arm
>Looked like cyborgs but with grotesque attachments
>One of the figures came with a single eyed robot head
>Original packaging was a moss green color
I'm beginning to think they were just a part of my imagination, but does anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about?

sorry for potato pic, but will this paint thinner actually work on removing Hasbro and Mattel paint?

I dug up my old revoltech Kenshin and I forgot how much of an unposeable piece of garbage he is. Are there any reasonably priced revoltech figures out there I can put his head and extremities onto? I'm looking for a revoltech body that has a kimono and hakama pants.

I wanted to test buying something online from Mandarake now that I got my PayPal account in order and enough GBPs for one thing but I'm an indecisive fuck.
My possible picks are
>Legacy QB Alleyne
>BW Cybershark
>one of the Se:Kirara figmas

Help me decide on one, guys.

I got a replacement for a damaged figure from Amazon, but I still have to send the original back.

My question is do you think I could get away with keeping a part of the original figure? I know is kind of scummy, but the figure is too damaged to resell away IMO. The figure is in a closed box so they wouldn't be able to tell unless they opened it. I'm just worried they will charge my card if they find out the part is missing.

>>6187999
First time offender? Nothing should happen at worse they will just mark you as suspicious for future returns.

>>6105201
>Little Tokyo
I've never seen them there, but I've never looked. There is alot of more novelty-ish shops there that might also have them.(I think more likely than Anime jungle)

>>6188007
I've done my fair share of returns (5 in the past year). Out of all the things I've ever sent back, I would only consider one or two of them questionable. I've never sent back anything missing a part though.

Do the colors around figures mean anything at all?

Is the black knight gonna get fucked and be a statue or are they giving us a proper figure?

>>6196045
No need to worry. The FREEing label's for their more detailed stuff like The Thinker or Pyramid Head. They'll be articulated figures.

Anyone knows which Mandarake stores let you check for shipping price before ordering?

How do I claim AMIAMI points? I've preordered quite a bit and I have one item that's been released and paid for yet I still have no points? Is there something I need to do to claim points??

>>6199257
You get the points once you paid for something, you only get the chance to use said points at the check out when paying.

The points thing hardly helps anyway but if it clips off a few bucks why not

>>6197076
Its been awhile but I think nakano.

But what I do remember correctly is when you head for the checkout the one(s) that do show the shipping cost at the checkout, just before you do final confirmation, so if you're willing to take your time there is that, just don't confirm the order and you'll see which do.

>>6199288
>The points thing hardly helps anyway
I disagree, there have been cases where R-SAL shipping was practically free because of the points gradually adding up.

>>6199288
I've paid yet haven't received points? Apparently the points only appear something like 15 days after the item ships?

Should I buy revoltech cattleya, I feel if I do it would be really weird. But feel like I need to get it for some reason.

>>6204240
I enjoy Queen's Blade, and articulated titty monsters, but for some reason none of the QB revos do it for me.

Their gappy necks, ugly joints and goofy faces just don't do it for me. It's a shame we'll never see figmas of these characters.

>>6204248
I have some of the first Queen's Blade revo's but i feel weird taking them out of the box to pose them in front of my other toys, especially since they stick out like a sore thumb.

So I want to try my hand at designing action figures for an old goofy but awesome idea my friend and I had when we were in elementary school. But I'm not really sure which scale would be best: 1/18 or 1/12. I'd like to come up with vehicles for it as well

any ideas on fixing this?
It's "Yamato Sif EX Odin Sphere: Velvet PVC Figure"

>>6205834
You can't fix scratches without repainting. You can try an eraser for the black marks and hope it comes out, but if it's really on there go for high grit (like 3000) sandpaper and be aware it can cause damage to the paint.

I'd just accept it as is though. You're not going to have perfect figures and it honestly might cause more problems if you try to fix it.

>>6205850
I can live with the black/green paint stuff
where would one go about buying paint that would match and adhere to a figure
some kind of pvc paint I'm guessing, I'll probably leave it alone though if I can't find a method of fixing it that is fool proof

>>6205854
PVC paint is a meme. If you want flexible shit you should use a flexible resin, like a UV cure resin.

Lacquer will be your best bet for a statue, but if you don't have an airbrush it'll be hard to get a good finish. Like I said, you should simply accept the flaws.

But if you really want to you can try Kaiyodo x Mr. Color Flesh Color set for figure.

>>6205862
Thanks man I'll look into what you suggested

I want to put my Nendos in the window ledge of my bedroom because it looks nice, but I'm worried about sun damage. The house I live in is only five years old and the windows are UV treated. Will it still be an issue?

>>6207096
Yes. Don't do that.

>>6204240
They are fun and most normies won't see any more wrong with it than most figures as long as you keep it clothed.

Hello Guys, I found this one in my attic and can't find anything about it on Google.
There's no inscription or copyright on it.
It would be nice if an Anon knows its origin. :)

Just looking for advice really. A show near me has a phase 2 Rex sideshow figure for 250, I'm thinking about getting him just to resell. What do you boys think?

Got a Revo QB Menace second-hand and it smells like cigs. What's the best way to deodorize it without damaging the paint and plastic?

Are there any toys/brands that are relatively cheaper in Britain?

So returned just means it finally left customs and is on it's way, right?

>>6220602
Run the tracking number through USPS. It'll probably say "Arrived at USPS Facility", which means it left customs.

What's a good way I can store figures for around 2 years? I'm planning on moving over seas for a short working holiday towards the end of 2017, and need to store my figures away. Is there any special precautions I need to take, like things to avoid them sweating or warping?

Got some china knock offs pic related. 1. I need a replacment figma knee joint for the she fig it shattered out of the box, any plqce to buy figma joints? 2. Anyone know of small figures that will fit in the titan cockpit? Little to small for a joe scale figure, maybe somthing around 2 inches tall?

>>6220609
Thanks m8, it checked out. Wound up getting it a 10am this morning.

>>6220759
Lay them flat and not touching in an archival quality acid free box with some desiccant packs and keep the whole thing in a darkened temperature controlled room.

Thanks mates.

>>6221011
GSC doesn't sell their joints, so you have two options:

1) Buy a pack of medium-flesh colored Hobby Base joints (ball slim variety) off HLJ or EBay, etc. (best option)

2) Buy a lot-sale of random Figma joints and hope you get the right size and color. Bigger lots have greater variety and thus increase your chances.

>>6222869
Forgot to mention:

Option #2 can be found on EBay.

>>6222869
>>6222874
Thanks I will see about nabbing both. Never hurts to have some spare joints. The hobby base joints much diffrent then the figma ones?

What happened to stompers? What's the closest thing now?

So my friends father wants me to sell around 1000 of his figures. How much of a cut should I be asking for? Also I've never sold something like action figures before and normally deal with items that are 100s of dollars so I don't mind offering free shipping. If I'm selling a figure that's let's say $5 would it be best to bundle them or would it be best to just make them pay for shipping?

Do 1:18th weapons fit into this guy's hands? I remember everyone saying he wasn't really that scale, but the guns he comes with are way too big for him. I don't have any gi joe stuff but it shouldn't be too hard to track some down if they'll work.

Anyone have the Threezero Guts that? I'm tempted since its getting another release but I've never owned anything Threezero

I'm trying to remember a toy set from back in the 90s. You pop in a VHS and watch a cartoon about a base being attacked, and you have a playset that is made to match the base and characters, and when explosions and stuff go off in the show, the playset also sends pieces flying and shooting missiles and stuff.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't remember shit about it other than that.

>>6240817
I know exactly what you're talking about. Captain Future and the Soldiers of Fortune, or something similar.

>>6233761
I have their Isaac Clarke. I like it, but it's hampered by his snow suit. Also, I've heard Guts' feet kind of suck, I kind of want it anyway. So seconding this post.

I asked this earlier in the thread, but no one responded.

Long story short, the post office lost an AmiAmi package back in early December. It's been confirmed lost by the post office, and I signed a form for JapanPost through USPS stating I never received it. I've been asking AmiAmi for status updates on the insurance claim once a month for the past 3 months and they say JapanPost hasn't responded back, and that they'll let me know when they do.

So I have to ask, how much longer is this going to take, and is JapanPost good about filling insurance claims?

So my bank doesn't allow international purchases without a notice beforehand, in which they open up a 24-hour window. Otherwise it triggers a fraud alert and my card is frozen until everything gets cleared up. Do most sites like HLJ or Good Smile automatically charge the card once it's time for a pre-order? Opening a window isn't a big deal, but I can see problems arising if my card is charged without me knowing.

Should I just look into setting up a paypal? Instant transactions seem like a possible solution, but I'm not sure if it would also be interpreted as a foreign transaction.

Does anyone own both the sentinel and revoltech rathalos hunter figures? Which one is better? I'd prefer articulation, but the sentinel looks good. Would it got with the zinogre hunter?
