Hello, /toy/,

I've been collecting pieces for a little scene. Now I just want to find some sort of fitting character(s) to match it with.
Would like to attempt some simple stop-motion, so good articulation is a big plus.

Size-wise I assume the little Japanese skellingtons would be of appropriate scale.

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Also have some pieces for a bathroom-scene (square jap bathtub and shower cabinet, as well as some patterned glass tiles).

Also some plastic plants and a styrofoam block with dirt-texture to make up a garden section once I have some more to fill such a scene with.

Anyway, would appreciate any suggestion. Will stop spamming now.

Man, the stuff in the first pic look neat. Place something near them for scale though, so we know what scale to recommend for you - possibly a quarter or a ruler

I found I actually have a ruler!

Probably will fit 3.75~4" figures. You could check out

GI Joe, 1:18 General >>5275353
Pose Skeleton General >>5282723

If you want more "normal" stuff, there's probably some 4" doll line out there I don't know about. There's also a well established line of furry dolls called Sylvanian Families

There's also Playmobil, they are slightly smaller than 1:18

Thanks a lot for the advice, but yes, I'd like something more "normal" or just something simple like

which I can use as a base for a custom figure.

Maybe Stikfas. They are 3.25"/8cm wholly ball-jointed figures. They come in various body-types and are made for customization.

Unfortunately, the toyline quietly died in the late 2000s. You can only find them on the aftermarket.

Seems interesting.
Skellies might work just as well, though (I think they are 600 yen a piece here).
Have you any experience with them? Are the joints loose or anything like that?

I didn't really delve into them much. Not particularly my taste.

I do know that there were three runs of Stikfas toys
>Pre-hasbro
>Hasbro, licensed
>Post-hasbro

The hasbro run had the most consistent quality. However, they are all made out of ABS hard plastic so you can use the superglue or floor polish trick to tighten up any loose joints.

>>5318339
I see. Thanks for the accurate info!
>>
>>5318244
I too would like to know where to get 1/18 accessories other than rement
What about that go kart epoch gashaphon shit?
Looks like it comes with other accessories
>>
>>5319817
Yeah, seems like that line has a lot of good stuff. Looking forward to finding some.

All the stuff here is from 100-yen shops. Lots of interesting stuff there, if you're willing to search a bit.
>>
>>5318244
At that scale Pose Skeletons definitely look like they'd fill the bill.
>>5318247
>>5318258


>>5319817
That's not due 'till March though, innit?
>>
>>5319817

If you're in the US Hobby Lobby has some stuff. They don't say what the scales are but some things will work with 1:18 figures. You could try a store that specializes in miniatures/dollhouses if there are any left in business these days.
>>
>>5318282
look like standard 1:24 furniture to me.
>>
>>5318303
Playmobil!!!
