December Challenges:
There will be a voting poll posted somewhere in the thread where you can decide on what will be the challenges for December.
Trying to find even recently discontinued sets for a reasonable price is a nightmare when you're Australian.
AUS price: $50 + $10 postage
US/CAN price: $10 (+$40 int. postage)
And I need TWO of them.

What set are you looking for?

75039 V-Wing Starfighter
I tried bricking it out on Bricklink and came up to nearly the same price in AUD anyway, and that's without the minifigures.

What do you think of the character 'Whis'? A welcome addition that fits the universe or a shark-jumping nuisance that needs to die?

I really hope, as much as I want all those figures, that these wait till after December to start arriving. I've blown so much money on MLs this year, it's ridiculous.
>>5281824
Speed Demon to me is the standout winner in that set, that smile, the Silvermane RC accessory
Yay or Nay?
Somewhere in the middle? Bodies are fine, articulation is fine, but the faces have that weird, flat, sticker-like look... especially Supergirl and Wonder Woman.
I'd get ivy and super girl, no doubt
>>5208305
They match MH and the spinoff
Hi /toy/, I don't know if this is the right board or not but I am a father of four children and just won the lottery. I don't want to blow all my money but would getting a wiiu help enrich our lives? We're very poor so a device of sorts could help bond our family instead of watchig tv all day.

Buy them a shitton of dragon dildos!

>bond our family
buy a rope and tie them together

LEGO are your answer.
/Toy/ I'm fucked. I was out of the game for a while and thought I was over the toy itch. I just broke and bought this glorious bastard. How fucked am I? Stories of others getting back in after a long time out?
>>5309578
I don't know if anyone here goes longer than three months without buying. I myself had just managed to really slow down on it but then I got drunk and nearly every time I get drunk I end up on Mandy. I've got $300 worth of Kamen Rider shit on the way. Luckily the first order I tried to make failed. It was $700.
>>5309578
Honestly, so long as you avoid impulse buying or having a completionist mentality and just pace yourself for the things you really want and are interested in, toy collecting can actually be a pretty cheap hobby to have.
If there's something you know you want and about how much it costs, just budget it in and plan for its chunk of your earnings. Focus less on the hype for a figure and think more about how much you'd actually enjoy it on your shelf. There's really nothing worse than working with...

Just about to buy my first figure in 3 months. Where is your restraint?
/dadtoy/ general
a safe place where us old farts can grumble on about how "they don't make em like they used too"
Well, I don't think I'm a dad, but I do miss this line of toys during when Mighty Max/ Polly Pocket was big. Body wars was awesome and I wish they made more
As someone who's old enough to have fond memories of that tv show and playing with those toys when they first came out, I think what you want this thread to be about nostalgiafagging.
Toys from back then are total shit compared to the stuff being produced today.
Though, toys produced today can't hold a candle compared to what was being produced in the 00s. The 00s was golden age, what with better quality in paint and plastics, and they were priced cheap as fuck.
Only a few companies have improved since the 00s, like NECA and japanese collector companies,...

Still one of my favorite toy lines.
Ive actually never cared for Raiden
but damn that is a great fucking figure...
>>5303964
Just to warn you though, it has a lot of issues. Not so much to do with QC, but it's more to do with how its elbows are designed poorly to the point that it will always break unless you never move them at all. In this regard, I'd only recommend it if you're a diehard fan of Raiden and in desperate need of a 1/6 figure of him.
>>5304401
how?
>>5304405
The way the elbow joints are designed, they're put together in such a way that the joint doesn't slide properly and instead it pulls the rest of the internal mechanism. Basically moving the joint strains the plastic enough to slowly break it internally. The hard part is how the arms are also covered in a rubber sleeve (to hide the joint) so you'd really have to customize it if you want a working elbow joint (I've seen some people offer services to fix the elbow joint on the Sideshow Freaks forums).

"HEROCROSS Hybrid Metal Figuration 023 1979 The Alien "
well, I bought it, and im pretty dissapointed. It's billed as a "die cast figure" but there is very little actual metal in it. The upper torso, the ball joint in the waist, and the tips of toes are it from what I can tell.
The product photos show the dome being mostly yellow tinted, but as you can see in photo, its mostly clear.
>>5303439
Color of the bottom jaw doesn't match the top, the saliva accessory is held on by nothing but gravity and constantly falls off.
The product photos also the tail being segmented and ball jointed where as the actual product has a soft rubber tail with wire insert Ala Neca.
Are there any decent toys of Bubblegum Crisis? I could've sworn there was a Boomer revoltech but I guess I just imagined it.
>>5302986
Decent? sure. rare and expensive as fuck? yep.
>>5302986
There were the Atelier Sai 1/12 action figures that came out 10 years ago, which are now rare and expensive. They're not that good compared to modern figures: their joints are floppy and they can't stand unsupported.
>>5303053
There were also 1/15 hardsuits and motoslaves made by Yamato.
So I got my Stryfe disassembled and sanded. What now?
Any color schemes worth looking into?
Any painting tips? I'm thinking spray cans, base, 2 colors, and matte finish.
I leave the tip orange, right?
Anything I can do about the mechanism? More voltage, more massive rollers, something like that?
Mag extension, how?
Sling options? I'm thinking across the shoulders and down the dominant arm so it hangs from the armpit at hand height.
And finally homemade ammo. Where do I get pool noodles of those exact dimensions, and is the tip necessary?
>>5302834
A, theres a nerf thread.
B. Do some reasearch
C. Alright, im done griping, here are the basics of basics.
1, see these red circles? find the electric switches and rotate them then shove them back in so they are eternally depressed.
this will disable some of the locks that make stock stryfes so unpleasant.
2, See the green circle? underneeth that is some sort of mechanizm that prevents you from pulling the trigger unless the rev-trigger is already depressed,, Figueout which piece it is,...

Thanks.
I don't mind the safeties. It doesn't make sense to pull the trigger when the motors aren't running. It would jam. And without the mag nothing at all would happen.
I will look at the chamber once I reassemble it.
>>5303150
Not him, but seriously look into getting the locks removed. If you intend to take your mod the distance, you'll likely have to in order for the higher voltage batteries to work. The dart tooth lock is essential in increasing the rate of fire you can output. The entire switch for the rev trigger will likely have to be replaced to handle higher volts. Also the thermistor needs to be taken out if you plan to raise voltage in anyway, since it will lockdown the gun otherwise. There are several videos on YouTube that...

So picked up some MiWorld 'refill' bags. They're like tiny food/items that work well with ML/Black series/1:12 scale.
Found them at Target and ToysRUs.
Ready for hot dogs with Loki
I wish I had gotten the vending machine set this time lst year when I got it for my secret santa. Ordered two and then changed the order down to one. Now it's £35.
Watched it live. Painful to see weeks of work get obliterated all at once. Thousands of pieces everywhere.
I don't know what I'm looking at here so I'm just going to call you a faggot
>>5301635
what am i looking at exactly?
>>5301651
It's a 22x22 Rubik's Cube. It would have been a new world record for being the largest ever made. Sadly it exploded on the first turn.
