Archived threads in /toy/ - Toys - 34. page
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?

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?

Mah dick

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.

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.

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.

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
