"Anger over Barbie doll cast as Hindu goddess"

>Implying that toy collectors outside the Barbie-sphere wouldn't want such a Rad Babs.

This Jesus Ken was also shown at the museum display, (In Rome) with not one condescending Christian voice.
>>5556721
There's also about four or five different version of the Virgin Mary. Again, nobody in Christendom gives a flying fuck, unlike those whiny Hindus.

(Sarcastic Observation) ...And here's your typical white hetro male cultural appropriating Buddhism. No surprise that he's also a Nazi.
What's your favorite scale? Mine is between 1/10th or 1/12th, maybe 1/12 slightly more
>>5554252
meant to say 1/10th slightly more
>>5554252
1/12 means 6" right? because yes.
>>5554280
1/12 means take the height of the object and divide it by 12. 1/12 only means 6 inches if the particular thing is originally 6 feet tall
Bionicle was so cool in the first year. What would have happened if they kept the mysterious lore and never changed the aesthetic, but built on what they had made?
>>5550904
It'd be the same thing
>>5550947
nah the new stuff is trash they threw all the mysticism, mysteriousness out the window. with puffy masks and superhero chests
I found the later figures alright (2006 and 2009 were great years), but the lore lost it's touch I think. 2009 had a chance to do something interesting, but it was gutted pretty quick.
Looks like Hulkie is finally upon us, only about six months behind schedule.
Old thread >>5510063
Meanwhile, Fanstoys is finally clearing out some of their backlog. Supposedly Kickback is April and Hound (with the improved head sculpt here) is June/July.
>>5544233
I imagine the next time we see new Iron Factory stuff will be during the next TFcon.
>>5545086
that kickback would be perfection with a glossy black finish and a better headsculpt. Oh well.

When I was a kid, I used pic related to simulate the Martian spaceships from The War of the Worlds and pretend to ray-gun my figurines and Army guys.
What random objects did you appropriate for your play setups?
>>5514676
robot pterodactyl!!
>>5514676
I used to use hangers as bows.

You know who needs a figma or high quality figure in general?
Sly's begging for a Revoltech more than anything
Astro boy?
>>5563927
I'm hoping for more kid-proportioned Figmas myself, ALBW Link looks pretty good. I could definitely see an Astro Boy or Mega Man based on that same framework

Less than two weeks to go and they're only a third of the way there, you guys reckon they'll make it?
I was hopeful at first but i'm not too sure now. Shame since i wanted to get a bunch of those glow in the dark skeletons to go with Quan Chi.
Here's the thing itself: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1489380015/army-alphas-6-1-12-scale-army-builder-action-figur
1/18 is more profitable
>4horsemen
only because of pr and being well known
>>5561700
1/18 is shit and dead, nobody gives a crap about it.
Maybe, the ninja one (which I'm still fucking waiting on) was dead in the water until the last few days when they decided to step in and show off shit for once.
These guys apparently aren't involved at all, going by their comments.
You guys ever include anything toy related as your interests and hobbies on a resume?
are there really ways of making things like making model kits or collecting toys seem like a good thing?
I guess you could also put down things like photography
No.
No.
I guess that would be the best way to put it.
>>5555524
no...unless it's something that could be considered a tertiary skill, somehow beneficial to the company, or paints you in a good light don't mention it.
maybe if you had interest in buildling RC planes or geology it might be ok to mention, but collecting action figures? no

Saying you enjoy photography is fine, saying you enjoy taking photos of toys is not.

Second preorder opened.
>>5542297
I was talking strictly SHFSS. Kuuga (series) has base + 2 upgrades + Daguva, Decade will likely be base + upgrade + Diend, Kabuto will be base + upgrade + Gattack. Agito, Hibiki, and Kiva will just have the base form of their main Riders. I'd expect a bike too with all the bike pushing lately but Hibiki doesn't have his either.

Hey /toy/ so I recently bought this gun accessory (along with another revolver) modeled after the gun used by the character Vash The Stampede from the anime called "Trigun". I say accessory because it's scaled for 6-inch figures and I obviously plan to give it to my figures. Thing is, the next day I ended up ordering some head casts from the same site: http://castingcave.ecrater.com/
Strangely, the head casts arrived just recently but I have yet to receive the guns despite ordering the head casts at a later date. Has this happened to anyone who have dealt...

Track the package, foo (or call the company). It might be something mundane (like they had the heads in stock and ready to go).

>I live in Australia and I'm scared that our country's silly laws might deem the gun accessories as a no-no where I could be in trouble for buying tiny guns (though this could just be my autism flaring up).
It's your autism.
Fellow ausfag here, never had a trouble bringing in 1/12 toys in the shape of guns.
Why would customs confiscate 1/12 guns? It's not like you could shoot someone with it
Finished this bad ass last night. My only compliant is that it's fragile as fuck...

"Order 66 can't come soon enough"
I hovered over /r/ to see it was adult oriented... When I was young I used to push around this hollow plastic noisemaker push wheel, I think the wheel was yellow and had teeth that stuck out perpendicular to the wheel as opposed to parallel and on either of the fork legs were spring arm kinda things to ping off the teeth and give a sound like this: https://soundcloud.com/truthdubstep/truth-juno
< The thing looked something like this
I managed to find out the game we used to play in elementary: treasure cove.
it's xevoz
SOB, I meant to say I was shamelessly looking for any sauce on this toy. The Wheel was hollow like a drum and novelty of the toy played off the acoustics of the sound caused by the... wheel. Anyone know what I'm... talking about?
>>5563366
is that a ploy to bump that terms search count?
