>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.
Do you have problems swapping part in your figures? check this little advice

What's your excuse for not owning TR-8R yet?
>>5358776
I want the figuarts.
>>5358776
The medicom isn't out.
I don't give a fuck about Star Wars
Want: http://manlyart.bigcartel.com/product/exclusive-pimp2-d2-s-big-score-pimp-speeder
Wish I bought:
http://manlyart.bigcartel.com/product/r5-d420
>>5386568
>$200 and it doesn't even come with the figure.
Lol, is you serious?
>>5386615
>http://manlyart.bigcartel.com/product/exclusive-pimp2-d2-s-big-score-pimp-speeder
it comes with the Twi'lek ho chauffer.
>>5386615
Pimp2-D2 hasn't been released yet. plus you get a code in the box to get % off when he is released.
They're out at some Toys R Us but the street date is Jan 1st supposedly.
did lego lose the license already?
I seriously can't tell; I see knees, but do they have elbows? I'd pick up the full team, but not if they're CoDZombie-tier gimped.
will this also be available on the day of 1, so that i may buy it at that time?
I really wanna get a Yo-Kai Watch and I'm curious, is there any major difference between the American release and the Japanese DX version? Looks like the American one comes with a Whisper Medal instead of Dismerelda, but other than that, they look exactly the same. And I assume any sound effects/names are American and not Japanese (Obviously)
>>5388108
Well, that and the fact that the Japanese medals dont seem to work with the American game (Which makes sense), so either way I'm gonna have to buy the American one anyway, so nvm
>>5388108
>people are actually buying these
jesus christ this is actually going to catch on here isnt it?
The American watch doesn't have the flashlight that the Japanese one has (although it still makes the sound when you hold the button down), has no hinges for the wristband, and is hella loud. It also doesn't accept Japanese medals since the tracks are left-aligned. Other than that, though, it's a pretty good toy if you want a watch with the American names/music or just don't care either way. It's worth it for the price that it's at.
Has anyone ever ordered from Ekia hobbies? they have preorders for the VTS Wasteland Ranger figure and im thinking about getting him, but ive never really heard of this site
>>5382563
If they still have a preorder open for that sweet Dean Winchester figure, I'm about to order one.
>>5382563
I've never heard of that site before but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. As an alternative I can personally recommend Monkey Depot.
>>5383772
Timewalker Toys is great. I preordered mine there and asked if I could pay now as opposed to when it arrives to them since I knew I could afford it now. They were willing and happy to accommodate and replied really fast
So I just received a NECA Tyrael in the mail. I have had a suspicion that it could be a bootleg, though I am not sure.
The card in the packaging looked like it could have been printed on a cheap printer because the text was slightly fuzzy. Also, when I took the figure out, it smelled very strongly, which I have heard is a sign that a figure could be a bootleg.
What I am wondering is, has anyone else had these issues with theirs, or is there a good chance that this could be a bootleg?
FYI, it was ordered from Amazon.
>>5388451
Have you previously opened a clamshelled NECA figure? It usually does smell pretty strongly so it isn't too surprising if you've never smelled one before. As for the text it's been a while since I opened wave 1 so I couldn't tell you. And maybe wave 2 changed. There shouldn't be bootlegs though. At least not yet.
>>5388460
Alright, thanks. With that in mind, this might actually be the real deal then. I don't see any other noticeable flaws so I could just be freaking out for no reason.
>>5388478
I'd be very surprised if there were bootlegs of this figure out already. Weird smells are not uncommon with action figures.
He's a pretty neat figure, but his elbow articulation really could have been better. I'm trying to figure out a way to mod it to allow a little more movement, but fuck if that armor doesn't make it difficult.

It's January you fart eater
>>5385746
the whole thing's a travesty.
Is this 1/12 iron man mk42 75% metal worth the $200? I really like the way it looks, but I have been screwed before on these things, and am apprehensive to shell out that kind of cash without some input.
Let me know
>>5383627
Die cast doesn't ever guarantee a good product.
Paint scratches off easily on metal parts and joints go loose fast.
>>5383632
Is there a way to protect the paint?
>>5383636
Yeah.
Protect it by not buying it.

Secondfag!
>>5384965
fucking shill, posting their special part rather than an actual good Moc, what a fag.
plus previous thread wasn't even close to finished
saged and reported
>>5384965
I'd complain about the thread on page 10 right now, but considering how much dicktickling went on over tripfags and watermarks, I'd rather forghetti about it.
Remember, you are the villain.
Man, it's been like two months since you posted this. I was starting to worry about you.
From my point of view the good guys are villains!
>>5382369
I know, I really need to set up a calendar reminder or something.
Is Vul Eagle a peg warmer? He's so cheap now.
Did this really need its own thread?
三人揃えることはできるのかい?
I know everyone else has done this already
and I'm being a bit of a slowpoke on this myself. I would have done it earlier if I could but with the holidays being so busy and then getting back to normal life alter New Years I just didn't have the time. So anyway this is all the Toy related stuff received for Christmas.
Also my Holist of Grails has been achieved this Christmas as well the Lara Croft and the Guardians of Light statue/figure. It was an amazing feeling
finally getting it. Anyway I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.
>>5386108
>another generic common toy haul
>>5386108
statue looks pretty cool?
>>5386130
that's not surprising, being from what I heard on here the OP is actually a woman.
that's the rumor at lease.
It does explain a lot especially their shit taste in toys. It's all the garbage a chick who knows nothing about toys would buy in order to appear cool and trendy.
If it's true I bet the OP is one of those girls who is the "fake gamer girl" types and who cosplays purely for the male attention.
Hey /toy/otas, like the subject said, what do you think is the best or your personal favourite Skeletor toy?
I'm thinking about picking up a few of the 200X Skeletor figures because i think they look really cool. I don't know much about Master of the Universe, i've never seen a full episode in my life, but from what i've seen i am completely infatuated with how metal the actual setting seems.
Just to be certain, does anyone know if the 200X figures are 6"? And are there any others that would be worth also picking up?
>>5381602
The 200X figures have limited articulation, but the sculpts are really detailed. They have some really cool aspects to them, and you can find them pretty cheap at flea markets, at least in my experience. They fall just under six inches though, at least looking at it. Here is a scale pic with animated series joker and Illidan. Gotta love the weird color schemes they did later on.
>>5381602
>what do you think is the best or your personal favourite Skeletor toy
Mo-Larr set Skeletor body, Alcala head packaged with Demo Man. The Filmatiion 2.0 is looking pretty amazing, though.
>>5381914
>Filmatiion 2.0
whaTS the deal withj the filmation figures? all I keep seeing is you need to buy a subcription and it sounds like you can't just buy one figure and instead have to buy them all?
its strange...
Peace walker used to be my least favorite MGS game, but it is growing on me more and more..
i understand the gameplay isnt great, but the story is there
and its not AS condeluded as other mgs stories
id say i rank my favorites as follows
mgs1,mgs2,peace walker mgs3
that said
im pretty convinced i want the big boss figure from peace walker in his forest fatigues
anyone caare to share their pictures of him?
https://youtu.be/fO_5R_DMCJA
Good fucking luck, dude is expensive now.
I had him a few years back before a particularly awful move ruined my life. Here's the only one of him I was able to get.
>>5381631
Also >>>quality
2010/2011 picture taken on an actual shitty 20$ digital camera I had gotten 3 years prior. No excuse but it was what I had at the time.
>>5381631
even though its a crap camera its still a badass picture
what happened?
did you just decide to sell him or?
what led to that
