Hello /toy/. New to buying figures, I've been looking for a good skeleton figure. I saw someone here had a Revoltech Skeleton from Jason & the Argonauts, and I've been looking around online but the only place I've found them in stock for anywhere near a reasonable price is Amazon (£35, but not including any possible customs and also not tracked?). I found one on Mandarake but it was out of stock. I guess because the figures are so old it might be a while before it ever gets restocked.
I'm big into skeletons and a fan of Ray Harryhausen's...

Mandarake sometimes have some for cheaper prices.
Also there's a small chance this figure will get re released with the "legacy of Revoltech" aka Revoltechs last chance to make money.
I really hope the do. I missed out on the first wave and like everyone else I want a couple of them.

Skeleton Warriors from the 90's are getting a reboot in the style as Power Lords/Glyos (as in they have Glyos joints which are compatible with a bunch of stuff.) It's done by Four Horsemen too. They're way more fantasy than what you posted though.

Yeah, those look like shit.

Loved this shit.
>>4371425
Holy shit I had that. Loved it so much.
I can't remember much about Power Rangers(that's Power Rangers, right?) but I'm pretty sure I had a massive one that's like a train or some shit, then it turns into some massive mech once you transform it.
Do those things go for a lot?

I love Heavy's gorilla arms but I've seen nothing but horrible things about his rocket launcher.
ITT: Post a picture of a toy that you think nobody else on the board owns.
Pic related. I'd be pretty surprised if someone had this. The Palisade's Muppet toys don't seem like they were widely collected, and this one was a pretty rare exclusive, as I recall. Recently sold my whole collection, but kept this one because it was my favorite.

Is that a Bluesmobile next to the Moblin?

Indeed it is. Johnny Lightning!

Been awhile I've seen an accessory thread. So lets have one.
Here's all of mine.
>>4347792
You've got some really badass swords in there. Especially that one flame sword near the bottom.
>>4347792
I want that boombox.
I know these kind of have mixed reactions on here, but I wanted to spur some discussion on this brand.
I recently got into the mystery Horror packs and really like them! I think they're great little minifigures with a great design/style, sculpt, and overall good paintjob. In fact so much that I want another Horror wave! I'm not a fan of the bigger bobblehead figures, but I think they are onto something with these mystery packs.
Btw, who are the two covered figures, and that green/red reptile looking creature?
Anyways, what do you all think...

Might as well just make it a blindbag/box/Vinyl figure thread instead of just Funko.
I've never bought a single Funko figure, but I've grabbed a handful of the Transformers X The Loyal Subjects blindboxes, and they're pretty nice (though, those particular ones a bit pricey.) I've gotten pretty lucky though, as I picked up 7 of them, and I've gotten no doubles, and one of the ones I picked up was even one of the rare chase figures.
Though, seeing that pic, I'd be interested in most of those. When does that series/wave come out?
>>4322503
I've never seen these before. The sculpts vary from extremely eh (Spock and Tron) to something I might want on my shelf (Xenomorph and Robby). The two mystery figures are a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica, and I'm gonna say Neo from the Matrix. The "green/red creature," if you mean the one in the upper right, is a Martian from Mars Attacks.
>>4322536
Yeah that is a good idea. This is blindbag figure thread now, loosely focused on Funko(?), give or take. And no, I wish I knew when they come out. I want some of them.
I have some of the funniest luck with blind bag figures. If I want a common one, I'll probably get one of the rarer ones, and vice-versa. I want Ghost Face, Pennywise, or Sam, but I got Billy (rarer one), Hannibal, and Leatherface. I thought I got the rarer Leatherface figure at first, but glad I didn't.
Anyone know about some cool toy people to follow/like/subscribe etcetc?

Only person I like is actar but he stopped figure collecting/reviewing a long time ago and now he barely does anything except some merch reviews, I don't know.
Anyone here collect Crazy Bones? I love these colorful little fuckers. Ever since I was a kid I've been a sucker for collecting colorful/outlandish little things in blister packs. I think I can remember loving this stuff as far back as Pogs.
Am I the only one around here who likes cheap little collectibles like these? Or are they completely obscured by the figs and models?
Anyone got any other similar toylines to recommend out there? Stuff that's cheap, fun and comes in blind packs? (I guess popular enough to be available for a while, too. I've seen...

own any of the old ones?
>>4320572
No, but after getting into the modern ones I've always wanted to. I'm surprised I never had any back in the day, really. I've never really been "out" of this habit.
>>4320574
The old ones have more bugish eyes as well as just being ordinary objects. Trash packs seem more indicative of this 90s styling, except being trash and having vomit/dirt in the sculpt, and being made of a softer, rubber-like plastic.
For various reasons; obscure or very old character/franchise, limited fandom/interested buyers, you name it.
Pic related. Those familiar with the 80s sci-fi horror flicks should know of this movie, and it's a pity we'll never get the toy of the alien forms from it.

a custom is feasible. it's just a guy crabwalking.

is that... who i think it is? could it be, my dreams became true? life has a meaning?
>Sentinel
They seem pretty into making obscure shit.
What is that and where do I get it
>>4321596
I'm pretty sure it's an Armaurauder toy; a line of mechas designed by much loved Transformers artist Don Figueroa. He's well respected for being one of the first TF fan artists to make it big, and for designing his own TF toys looong before 3rd parties were a thing.
It's pretty cool that Sentinel is making this stuff. I'd never expect a whole new property like this to get such a good company behind it.
>>4321584
Isn't it T-REX, not Sentinel?

That's a pretty dick move by your mom. I've heard of parents taking away toys and giving them to younger kids, but older ones? Shiiiiiiit.
I always wondered...
why doesn't /toy/ make their own toyline?
>>4324085
The same reasons that /tg/ never makes a coherent ruleset, /co/ never makes a full comic, and /v/ never makes vidya gaems
because /toy/ can't write good lore
That requires a lot of money, skills, education, and communication.
Definitely something an Anonymous image board cannot do.
