Hey, /toy/. Been a looong time since I've seen a Hot Wheels thread.
Mind if I start one?

Is there a rarity chart for HotWheels?
I seen people go crazy for some new hotwheels that come out, and they buy them all.
I used to work at WAlmart at the time, then those Super Mario HotWheels came out and some dude came and brought every single one we had.
Then when we restock them two weeks later, he was already there, taking a box full of them, before we could put them up.
Are HotWheel collectors this bad?
Also, is is of my first HotWheel, that I got for sending in Box Tops as a...

I'm more of a lukewarm fan myself. I only collect a few select models, like the Fig Rig, Rockster, Humvee, and classic cars new in the Splinters like my OP pic, especially those Veolicty X ones. I also get ones that catch my eye in a really cool way.
The only recent new ones I got were the red rescue Humvee, the Gazella GT, and the HW Formula Solar.
Wasn't there a solar powered Hot Whrels car from 2008?
As they're both owned by Mattel these days, are there any significant differences between Hot Wheels and Matchbox?

>tfw when you took a break for two days and notice when you come back there's two sold listings for $50 below the price you were willing to pay
It is time to move on.
maybe you should try new things for a while op.

So, it seems like every few months there's a thread like this that gets put up. Are there any good tumblr, instagram, general toy related blogs to follow? Feel free to suggest ones you follow and share your own.
Do people follow these for merch/drop updates or just for the cute pictures?
I can understand the toy news and drop alerts but how many toy pics do you need in your life?
>>5636578
Well if you end up following a bunch of good pages on instagram, tumblr, etc. you end up with a fairly fresh feed of good photos to kill time going through. Though personally I'm looking for a good mix of anything toy related.
>>5636578
>but how many toy pics do you need in your life?
Maybe some people enjoy seeing creative toy pictures.
Anyway, who follows just toy blogs? Ideally if it's instagram, you follow a broader range of accounts.
Swiggoty swox, whats in the box?
I like this so far.

Oh shit
HELLBOY VS ALIEN
Been bothering me for a while.
looks like armored batmobile from keaton's movies, obviously red instead of black for some action feature.
>>5636007
I don't know what that is, but reminds me of an elongated version of Samus ship.
Doesn't have the same shape as that batmobile or the missile one
is there a fail safe way of taking these little guys apart?

what are legos then?
>>5636772
you summed up what the rest of 4chan thinks of every toy on this board, asshole.
It used to be build your own action figure (the ball joints worked great) which was awesome. Now it's hard to find k'nex man pieces. I feel bad for kids today. I would make gundams and people and have epic battles.
On the left is the cybernetically enhanced antagonist: lost his legs and right arm, and has a strange cross shaped weapon. On the right is generic soldier with a sword. The middle is our hero.

So it's autistic to like the best toy?
>>5634958
It's kinda sad how they pretty much turned into knockoff Lego, because the rods/connectors thing was great.
I want Rei and Asuka. Should I go with the revoltech or figma? I keep hearing about Asuka's "floating boobs" on the figma though, is it a common issue?
You're kinda SOL as far as good articulated figures go.
The Figmas are very well articulated and come with entry plug pilot seats, but are based on the Rebuild designs, and Asuka is only available in her test suit. In addition, Asuka's tits aren't properly shaped and so appear to "float".
Revoltech did figures of both the Rebuild and original series figures. They are gorgeously sculpted and painted but low on accessories and have horrendous articulation, especially the original series versions. For what it's worth, the few poses they...

Yes, the floating boobs is a common issue and easily fixed, just add sime glue to the side of the tits and press against her chest, fixed.
Figma are the best articukated figures for either.
No proglems with the Rei Figma.
Cu-Poche.
Why is this thing Japanese exclusive and is there no sites I can order it from? I thought Nippon-Yisan would have it, but nope.
>>5634800
Ecouse fuck you gaijin.

you don't want that.

I do though because I'm not a "One company" fag-shill.

I thought that was Sam from Supernatural before I checked the filename.
Ugh.

Despite of how much we trash Hasbro, they are ages above Mattel.
I can't believe only the shitty """"""""""""collector"""""""""""" line has figures that start to resemble the characters they are based of.
Is there any way to display packaged figures in a classy way, without it looking like a toy store in your house?
I have a bunch of figures I like but they have little play value so to open them is hardly worth it. Others are more interesting when seen in context with the packaging. What say you, /toy/?
Do any of you display carded figures?
Carded figures are the bain of any collection because they purely exist to be a delivery method and nothing else.
>>5634237
Personally, I feel there 's no point in collecting figures if you're not going to take them out of their boxes, but to each their own I guess. Displaying carded stuff can look cool, but only if you keep it to a minimum, no more than 7 or so at a time. Also, try to keep them from the same line. It looks cool if you have maybe a single wave from one series, but it going to get cluttered if you have a whole wall populated by 7 different toylines.
>>5634237
MIP is actually a fallacy because pretty much any figure that's been in the plastic for more than 3 or 4 years is going to suffer some damage.
Haven't been on /toy/ in a while, did NECA ever finish the TF2 line?
Gosh, peon, googling sure is hard.
Hello! I am Nigerian royalties. Can you please tell me if your NECA bank account can split the money with me? I will give you the account number and assure you many prosperous answers!

No.
They stop after spy face, and couldnt make anything ever again

What are some good robot toys?
s.h. figuarts battledroid! or were you thinking of something more retro like your picture?
Get pop funko. They have some really cool robot toys.
>>5633765

They do admittedly.
hey yall hope your having a great day so I say this picture on yamiguchi's twitter and I was wondering where did he get that sleeping bag from? because I'd like a couple for my figures. I figure its just doll's house stuff? is it expensive? best place to buy?

>>5633615
thx for the help, should of mentioned im from uk. Is this thing in the picture a sleeping bag? or is it some kind of Japanese specially named bed? I just tried ebay searching "dollshouse sleeping bag" and I couldn't find any sleeping bags like the one in this picture.
This one in the picture looks really comfy but the ones on ebay are flat as a pancake.
>>5633604
>not 6 inch
Those are Minis, so not what you think.
The futon in picture is called Sumaho (smart phone) Futon, and comes from gashapon capsule, Bit small for 6 inch figures.

I just bought a bag o' Revoltech Neon Genesis Evangelion figures for buck from a thrift store.
Problem is they are coated in sticky ganja resin from the previous owner, which makes them hard to pose.
What's the best way to clean these guys?
Also, post dank memes.
How the fuck do you get resin on your toys? Other than OP pic I guess but even then that would take work
>>5633475
Clean your pipe while you play with toys? I don't know that seems like a bit of a stretch.
>>5633454
>coated in sticky ganja resin
It's not resin bro. Older Revoltechs with glossy paintjobs (like those Evas) get sticky over time. It's a problem with whatever paint or topcoat Kaiyodo used to use. You can wash them off and stuff with soap and water, but they'll never be completely unsticky. Sorry.
