Underrated figure thread.
>>6404674
I think they're rated what they deserve, the keens where ugly and the quality awful.
I always vaguely wanted these, but the price, my financial situation at the time, the lack of Demon Sisters, all kinda turned me away. It's a catch-22 of 'I don't care about these characters, but if I don't buy them, the ones I want absolutely won't come out.
>>6404674
I really regret not getting them when they were shelfwarming. Rio:bone makes shit figures but if I had known this was all we were ever going to get I would've bought 10 of each.
As far as I can tell they're finally hinting at a second season, so don't lose all hope
When I see the word underrated, I want to throw in a revoltech, so lets go with this one.
Vulcanlog Black Magician, although I'm not sure how he was rated, I feel like most avoided him due to not being the desired design.
But besides that, it is well sculpted, highly articulated, and a ton of fun to mess around with. I think it is even underrated among fans of Yamaguchi's figures.
>>6404874
I like it but yeah, people wanted the purple one. A lot of them also seem to think this one is some sort of random color/design they came up with for the figure.
low price point but no bare plastic, great articulation, just really high quality figures
GI Joes, because they do not get enough love despite still having a big following.
Still one of the high tier lines, even though there are quite a few collector lines that can do certain things better.
great sculpts
High amount of accessories.
Decent to great paint all throughout the life of the line, even when Hasbro was dropping the ball on other lines.
Great articulation.
Huge selection, when it was still being made.
>>6404674
Im missing Stocking , they say the hair piece suxs . Panty is pretty fun though .
>>6407383
The hair kills 80% of her poseability.
>>6407474
might get her despite that . My PnS autism is too much to only have Rio Bones Panty .
>>6407802
Wish she wasn't stupid expensive now, only got to finally start collecting stuff this year and want it too.
How's the Panty by the way? Friend who owns both said their wrists feel like they'll break any second.
>>6407890
The hair is restrictive, but it's still a good figure if you like the show.
>>6404819
What?? Where did you hear that?
>>6404819
That was like a rumor 8 months ago?
Didn't that turn out to be a collaboration cafe? I don't see any news besides a teasing tweet then a few month later the cafe opened,
>>6408511
He's talking about the pre AX2017 tweets. Teddyloid mixed a new Scanty ad Kneesocks theme, and Trigger went and ripped a background straight out of Panty and Stocking to tease their Triggerbucks that enticed a mini riot in the panel room. They knew what they were doing.
>>6408543
>what can we trust?
Not fucking trigger apparently
>>6408543
>tfw no Panty gf
I just want a girl with a hairstyle that looks like bananas, is that too much to ask?
>>6405117
Is this a joke? The only one of those figures that's still SUPPOSED to be released is Nightwing.
>>6404674
I have the tiny statues and the Nendos. Honestly, two of my favorite Nendos ever.
>>6404674
Honestly I prefer to have seen Revoltechs of these two. Yamaguchi is pretty good with cute mascot characters he might have pulled off the cartoon look and made them battle ready as fuck.
>>6404874
I admit I'd totally get it, if not for the design. Original or bust.
>>6404674
I admit I opted for the nendos rather than the RIOs. Don't really regret it, no convincing arguments as to why these are good.
>>6409140
they are ok , but Stocking has a big issue with the hair piece. They make an awesome display together with the nendos .
>>6409156
So are they an anime or a hentai because I can't tell
>>6409140
Not so much that they're good, just not everyone likes nendo proportions and there's no other alternative.
>>6409163
Watch it
Pulled out my Panty today to mess with it after seeing this thread. Been meaning to for a while.
It's a good figure. Not great, but good. Snapping the legs back on when switching out butt pieces is kind of annoying. I don't care for the placement of the peg hole, though I understand the necessity. Other than that, I wouldn't say there are any major drawbacks to this figure. I god damn sure wouldn't pay what it goes for now, but I'd say it was worth what I paid back then (though I honestly don't remember what I paid).
I'm a little confused though, because as I was just now looking at the Amazon listing for her, I noticed that the one in the image had eyes that look straight ahead. Obviously, mine's are angled to the right. Not sure what's going on there.
>>6409163
Just an anime with over-the-top sexuality. Legend has it that a couple dudes from Gainax were sitting in an American hotel watching Drawn Together, and one asks the other "why don't we have a show like this?"
>>6409163
watch it
>>6409163
It's like a satire on American cartoon and culture
>>6409177
well she comes with 3 faceplates
>>6409163
it's basically an adult cartoon considering how many western references has, starting from the artstyle.
not porn anyway.
>>6409256
The other two are a neutral face and a lewd face.
>>6409258
>not porn

No... I have the panty and it's prretty retarded. The knees are absolute garbage and the paint from her dress constantly rubs off onto her legs when posing. Maybe Stocking has better balance, but they made Panty's hair SOLID plastic all the way through, so it's the heaviest part of the figure and means she always needs a stand.
>>6409275
Wasn't planning to fap again today but here I go.
>>6409177
>Pulled out my Panty today
Maybe that's why you've been so crabby lately?
The definition of underrated. Beautiful sculpt. Amazing articulation. Waaaaay better than the figma horse and had a cheaper initial price yet I'm the only one I've ever seen talk about it. Heck all of the user photos on MFC are mine.
>>6411566
is that medicom or wut anon, post box
>>6411952
Revoltech horse, I was interested along with the Figma horses, but those price points scared me away.
I'd have to say the Kinnikuman Figuarts.
>>6404674
Anything from this classic, really.
>>6405117
>great articulation
They had good articulation with some tooling that could have been great but also dumb as shit decisions like a lack of thigh cuts.
They for the most part look great and I do like the ones I have but don't make them out as being better than they are
>>6412680
>but don't make them out as being better than they are
Why are you one year behind the times?
They do have thigh swivels, in the form of those figuart type joints where the thighs pull down, adding a swivel there.
I admit, it's not a very good swivel, but all the Figuart fanboys swore by it being the bestest back then, so it must be the bestest.
>>6411566
Yeah I agree fuck the gummy ass figma horse. Just needa find a saddle that fits and we good to go
>>6412927
>Figuart fanboys
Aren't they kind of known for having low standards?
>>6414249
No, because.
Also, theres no way paying that much money means it can be mediocre. Always bestest forever... until they're replaced by the next bestest forever and ever.
>>dog
>>6409163
Anime essentially made for the west. Like Little Witch Academy or Space Dandy.
I got the Riobone figures as well as the Canti ones. They're really shit, but they're the only P&S figures.
>>6421399
Trigger/Gainax are huge westaboos.
>>6422521
Seconded
>>6412104
>tfw this came out when you were 24
>>6404674
Better than the S.H. Figuarts in almost every way
>>6404674
I'm really tempted to just pick up Stocking now and hope that Panty pops up somewhere for a reasonable price. Hopefully what >>6404819 and >>6408543 say actually leads to a second season and more chances for new figures to be made.
As for my underrated figure, it's the Four Horsemen Eagulus. He's got decent articulation, even keeping the leg articulation accurate to that of an actual eagle, and a great paintjob for how detailed it gets. He's even better when you buy the large brown eagle wings and stick them on him, really sells the look of an All-American eagle warrior. He's pretty big compared to my other figures as well. The novelty of having this guy perched above my shelf always screaming really makes him one of my favorite figures.
>>6424688
Pretty sure that picture is a troll. The show isn't even seven years old.
>>6429176
People who were in first year of middle school when it came out are now halfway trough college.
