Transforming toys are the core of my collection, but at this point I really don't have an emotional attachment to the Transformers IP.
Post pics in this thread of transforming toys that aren't related to "Transformers." Bonus points for good articulation and perfect transformation.
Are these guys on Japanese sites yet?
>>5660708
Don't think so, just the usual US/UK stores that sell official and 3P Transformers
Aside from the upcoming Machine Robo line posted above, are there any other figures with a comparable balance of detail and playability? I feel like almost everything is partsforming, brick-ish, or $300+ holy grail tier.
Okay kids, what do your toys ride into battle?
>>5734103
Mah dick
>>5734107
They make decent vehicles for 3.75" figures, anon.
I'm the faggot that waits for threads to hit 330+ so I can post a new one!
Now tell me what's the best size class for Megatron before we discuss inane shit and speculate on Cheetus and Jinrai
Voyager.
Big enough to tower over the manlet deluxes and hopefully thicc enough to not be overdone by the bruisers and huge guys.
On a side note, when the fuck are we gonna get upscaled IDW Megs, or a 3rd party adaptation of the design? This thing is fucking great.
>>5732228
Voyager is my favorite size for Megatron. I like leader figures because the child in me thinks that the bigger the toy the better but CW Megatron doesn't fit in well with my generations display.
>>5732228
Not even linking the old thread, off to a great start op.
ITT; Toys you need to get but just don't have the interest.
Pic related: I have the other Tiger and Bunny heroes, but Dragon Kid is my least favorite and worse, I'm running out of space for her stand on my anime shelf.
>>5729279
Completionism is a disease. If you don't want it, don't buy it.
>>5729279
She's a really neat figure though.
I have a similar problem, I can't bring myself to buy Golden Ryan because he was such a minor character, but he's the only one left that I need.
>>5729279
how's that ninja looking guy with the giant shuriken? Only thing stopping me from grabbing him is all the sticker-like ads on him (I know that's the premise of the show)
Shit posing thread
>>5729253
nice balance actually
>>5729250
how do you even pull this off? I couldnt make a worse display if I tried
Okay /toy/ a dilemma, say you have a moderately expensive figure (these days) and said feature of the figure is a swappable arm but said arm breaks when tried to be removed, is there a way to take these two parts out to of these joints in an attempt to repair? Also general rage and broken /toy/ thread, pic related
>>5728844
heat it with a hairdryer -> pull it out with needle nose pliers -> swap it with something else
>>5728852
That would save a body a ton of money...does this method work good?
>>5728855
heat makes things expand so yes

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 UP!!!
We're three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape and with tattoos encourages. If you are fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.
>>5727344
>non-human skin colour
>tattooed body
>dual-weilding
>on a quest for vengeance
>edgy as fuck
holy shit I never realised how much those 3 characters have in common
>>5727349
OP fucked up by not getting a figure of Maul from the animated series where he is topless like the other 2 and is supposed to be dual-weilding
Sup brehs
We're three cut dudes that will cut dudes coming straight from the pits of hell. One's a necro, one's a god killer and the other is wearing all black, just like you. One of us is tattooed with the ashes of the people he's slain, but the other two have gnarley skin that chicks will surely dig. We're all heavy into whips in chains, but nothing sexual.
Has anyone ever had toys break on them more consistently than NECA? Every figure I have ever bought from them had something wrong with it and I had to stop
You're showing your young age there, fella. McFarlane Toys were magnitudes more fragile than Neca. The shitty glues, the crumbly plastics, the weak joint pins...
>>5725236
you just reminded me my samurai spawn broke and i found another one
>>5725238
fuck i meant to say i never found
Anyone got these guys before or have any of the older designs? Shipped from Australia for a hefty fee, discovered these are actually way tinier than their pics suggest, slight imperfections in the clips (which makes assembly slightly scary), but amazingly posable for their size...
I kinda like it now that I put together one of em. They almost feel straight outta Total Annihilation and Planetary Annihilation.
Found em here while I was looking for more 3D printed (after discovering MechaZone) robot actionfigures:
http://neurobota.com/
>>5724520
How are they sold out on something that should basically be made to order?
>>5724527
That's what I find pretty weird, probably the guy prints a set of them, runs outta filament, and doesn't plan to get more until some quota is reached. Which isn't "made to order", made to demand maybe?
The creator's writing suggest a not-quite-good grasp of English too.
Just put together the Boxer, wayyy easier than putting together the Unicorn
!! My Mini Mixie Q's are so QUTE y'all!! *-*
Love them with meeeeee
Looks much better than the lighting used in the promo images.
>>5723498
any other pics pham?
If that stand arm is the same as the Truforce arm then this series will scale nicely with the D-ARTs line.
>>5723561
None that I can find beyond unpainted ones on display. Guessing there will be more photos when the show opens to the public (since this was from the Rockman Unity Twitter https://twitter.com/ROCKMAN_UNITY/status/740807869419933700)
How was is this figure to pose?
>>5715797
Pretty great. There's nothing really in the way of his joints to limit his poseability, maybe just a little limited on his ankle rockers, but they seem fine to me.
>>5715797
A downward hinged wrist would have been nice but otherwise he's dope
>>5715797
Dont listen to these delusional hasbrofags. Its terrible I returned it hours after I bought it. I honestly dont understand why you people settle for such shit.
5 days left, someone makes a bid. How are people this stupid? If you don't snipe your ebay bid, you're just making it more expensive for everyone including yourself. It should be common knowledge by now
>>5714721
Some study came out early this year or late last year that most Americans (and therefore a huge chunk of eBay's user base) aren't literate in the internet beyond ebay and amazon.
Therefore most people won't be 'savvy' enough to not fuck up their auctions.
I am by no means a power seller, I usually throw up 500-1000 a month on ebay and take 500-700 after expenses, so I have some experience with it as well. It appears that when it comes to 'popular' items that people just bid early and often because they don't understand how the bidding system works, or are so new they haven't had anything they wanted sniped from them yet. I
I've all but quit eBay. A friend and I share an Amazon Prime account and never looked back.
>>5714737
Yeah, same. Nothing beats Prime.
But I'll still use Ebay for tradings cards and toys for super cheap.
