Anyone tempted to buy one of these sets just for the chairs?
1:18 scale only.
No.
There are other, better chairs out there that don't force a crappy figure on you.
And if you're really crafty with dollhouse stuff, you could make your own for a fraction of the cost.
I want these so I can have Barbara launch into a 5 minute lecture on business, name drop her fucking lobster truck 8 times, say "but.. I'm out". Then I will hot glue her fucking face.

Can someone explain this? Did they have some trouble at some point or something?

Hold on, let me get my friend Billy Kingarts on the phone to answer your questions.

I was just wondering if anyone here with their ear closer to the heartbeat of the more obscure collector toy market had any more insight into the issue than a cursory google search did.
What's the best place to preorder these?
Even 3P's are partaking in the Titanwars, it seems.

These look pretty cool. Does UT make good figures? I mean, it's hard to fuck up a Legends sized figure, but it happens.
>>5775333
Oh my god, these look awesome.
>>5775339
I've heard Ordin was solidly made, even if some members were a little uninteresting.
>>5775339
I think at first they were kind of crap but I've heard really good things about their Galvatron and Abominus.

Well, yeah, they aren't wrong.
Seriously, just buy it from mandarake then. Why are you bugging someone else if you know you can get it for less?
>>5774852
This. Are you banned from mandarake for being a cunt? If so, then.. uh.. too fucking bad?

Post your custom projects here; mods, fixes, repaints, dios, effects parts, accessories, 3D printed stuff, or whatever else you're working on.
Offer tips and advice, ask for help, post tutorials/guides, and have fun!
Here's some tips from the previous threads:
Beginners: practice on cheap figures first.
For sculpting on figures: use 2-part epoxy putty like Aves apoxie or fixit.
For tools: try a basic carving/sculpting set like the kind arts & crafts stores have, and calipers for symmetry.
Dental tools have also been said to work well.
Also, using a Dremel is recommended. Minimites (the small $20-25 ones) are fine for starting out, but the battery life is poor. Upgrade to a corded one only if you want to get deeper into customizing. They are useful for stuff outside of the hobby though, so it's a good investment regardless.
For paints: use acrylics. Paint in multiple, thin coats. Brands like Vallejo/P3/Citadel are recommended, because of pigment quality.
Use a sealer when finished to protect your work. There are matte varieties and sealers that give a glossy look. As with painting, use multiple thin coats.
A flex shaft attachment on a Dremel is a godsend and relatively inexpensive. The grinding shield is also pretty useful, but you can improvise one using a cut open soda bottle.
Figured this is a good thread to ask; apologies in advance if it isn't...
Recently found this loose Marvel Legends figure at a comic shop, and got it for cheap cuz it looked like the previous owner marked over most of the yellow stripes with a silver Sharpie and the yellow x on his belt with a red marker.
Is there anything I can use to remove the markers w/o damaging the paint under it or the toy's plastic itself? I usually use nail polish remover permanent marker from tupperware, but dunno how it would affect an action figure.
>>5749980
nail polish remover will remove all the paint
the shit one on top and the original
use alcohol
So uh, any other options for an highly articulated Superman?
I have never actually found a Superman figure worth buying.
>>5748259
maybe the mafex BvS one?
unless you hate DCCU shit
>>5748259
Highly articulated... not really, at least as far as "classic" comic Superman figures go. Pic related is hands down the most fun Superman, if that means anything to you.

Do any anons here have the Gutto Kuru/CM's Corp Nanoha figures? I just found out they exist and I'm probably going to get them, just curious about the quality of them.
If you don't have the Nanoha ones specifically then what's the general quality of a CM's toy? And do they scale with figma/figuarts etc or are they only in scale with each other.
Thanks in advance lads.
>>5782639
>And do they scale with figma/figuarts etc or are they only in scale with each other.
They are bigger.
Get the figmas, they are better looking and have better quality.
>>5782689
>Get the figmas
Already have them all, I feel like starting a larger Nanoha collection outside of figma/ActSta though.
So basically just bigger/lower quality than a figma?
Thanks for the help anon.
Should probably have mentioned the price of them, they're all sitting about 1000-1500 yen with the exception of Nanoha and Fate who are at 3000/4000. I can get the whole line excluding Hayate/Signum Unison version for £100.
They're actually doing this fucking shit again

How do YOU store your accessories and interchangeable parts?
>>5780849
Currently, I only have a handful of figures so any thing extra stays in the original box, which is then stored in a closet.
>>5780862
And you pull the individual boxes out any time you want to mess with your figures? Sounds like a pain.
I have four of these. The dividers can be rearranged to suit different sized accessories.

My fiance's family is bringing us to Disney World next March and I'm looking forward to toy shopping. My concern is that I won't know the best places to find obscure characters and I'll find nothing but Mickey and Pinocchio. Any tips? Or is it just better to shop at the online disney store?
>>5779256
I'm going in November, I too would like some useful info
it's great for toy shopping I went last July and found the marvel select hulk buster and the entire ml ant man wave. I forget what it's called but there like a Disney mall or something and it's all outdoors you can find all the star wars stuff, all the marvel figures, and surprisingly a lot of imports
There's a Japanese store in epcot that sells Figma and sh figurearts. They charge out the ass though so only really really get the older stuff which they do sell there occasionally.
