What's her name, /toy/?
In two months, the SAC motoko has jumped 20 dollars on almost all selling platforms.
Scalpers claws cut deep

I only had eyes for Satsuki. Then three months later my autism began poking me over the scissors you could combine with Ryuko's main weapon.
Little did I know that for all the times I missed paying only an extra five dollars from her original price, she would grow to be as expensive as Saber 2.0 in this time and day.
>>5595324
I could sell you mine, OP. If she's been going for scalper prices now that's all the more reason for me to sell her cheap and finally get rid of her.
E-mail me if you're interested.

Basically any good toys of my childhood heroes.

I want more IBO stuff dammit. I mean It got a second season. There's no reason not to start dishing out a bunch of toys for it.
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Started on this part of the GM today. The type-C space type comes with an SMG, Rifle, and LMG so I wanted to make him a DMR version with a rail and optic. I'm going to make the optic based on an elongated version of the typical round fed sensor. pretty happy so far, this is just the base to add detail to.
>>5624566
How about adding a magwell?
>>5624576
im considering a few things for that half, I may use the (strangely wider) magazine from the SMG mode but cutting out the bottom for it

OLD THREAD >>5597155
please tell me Nico is going to have a normal hand swap.
I want to get her but it being past on post Arena is just some serious monkey paw shit.
"based on", not past.
not sure how I managed that one.
>>5614541
Not a Marvel collector for various reasons but I want that Dormammu. That's gonna be the BAF isnt it.
What are some things toy video reviewers do that piss you of?
Some things that make me a bit vexed are:
to much fucking time on the box
cant keep the toy in focus
dosent know how the toy works
Missing pieces of the toy
Im always drinking cherry coke
>>5614187
Why bitch about it? How sad is your fucking life? Try spending your time talking about things you actually like. If video reviews aren't your thing, move on. It doesn't warrant this catty grade school bullshit.
>>5614187
I somewhat enjoy tj, other than he only does 1 take so you get to deal with stutters.
My uncle just showed up with like 4 trashbags of beanie babies he got for like 50 bucks at a Yardsale.
He had me pick a ton for my 3 year old. Does anyone still even care about these things? Ugh, the 90's threw up in my living room.
>>5613320
Not really. They're basically the original Skylanders/(and inevitably) Amiibos. Aftermarket will eventually be oversaturated with 'em.
>>5613320
I think a very few of them are still worth something, the rest are worth the dollar or two you'd expect.
Still need to sell these.
My entire family put it on me to take care of the whole bin.
Post disney pin trading and collecting stuff here.
>>5606521
I don't know where pin trading stuff should go, maybe /co/ since it is Disney stuff, but most certainly not here at toy. And I don't care if some of them, like one of mine, technically has 5poa, still not toy
>>5606550
I wish that /toy/ would be expanded to toys and collectibles. There really isn't a place for collectibles that aren't toys, but there are a lot of collectibles that aren't technically toys...
Currently trying to get this guys whole set. I have 3 of 5. Btw who is he?

YOTH Soundwave just went 55% off at Canadian TRUs. A mold so nice I bought it thrice! (Actually I bought it four times but fuck if i'm opening the Hasbro one)
He's definitely lighter than his mold mates. Not sure if it's the clear plastic, but the plastic quality feels almost bootleg compared to the others. Also the build quality is noticeably worse. The others have tight joints, while some of his are loose--but not floppy. The thing that bothers me the most is that his shoulder canon is cast in the orange plastic that is seen on the forearms and shins while his blaster is cast in the clear plastic. It's a minor nitpick at best, but in cassette deck mode it's noticeable enough for me to not want to look at him from the back.
Time for the positives;
If you're into cool g2-esque wacky 90s colors, he's just random enough to be right down your alley, though he doesn't actually reference any g2/90s Soundwave figure in particular.
For transforming into a box, the change is the same old solid MP Soundwave transformation you know and love.
The shining star of the box set (in my opinion) are the cassettes. The only other way to get them was to order the 2 Takara sets, which is expensive or to have got the Hasbro Soundwave upon release because let's be realistic, you're definitely not paying $230 for something that retailed for $140. They're a nice stand-in for the solid colored cassettes if you don't already have them and a nice alternate colorswap if you do. I'd say the accessories make up about half of this set's value, so if you're comfortable with paying $80 for 5 cool cassettes and a sub-par Soundwave, feel free to pull the trigger.
If you're still looking for a MP Soundwave, save your money for one of the true blue releases. Even at 55% off, I only bought it because Soundwave is my favorite Transformer. If you're looking for cool ghost-cassettes, i'd pull the trigger and see what money you can get back from Soundwave on eBay or something.
It's hilarious how Takara is doing all the BW celebration while Hasbro is doing jack shit even though BW started in the west.
Been a while
Post your most impressive balancing acts!

Got more two Sightline figures coming my way. Will this GI Joe trooper mode EVER get a wide release so us fans will finally be able to army build without spending $30-40 a pop for him? Or must we forever be stuck with the inferior dogshit Joe Army Building Troopers (Steel Brigade and the Retaliation army builder)?
Aw man, I was just gonna post the new thread, had a sweet picture for it too. Oh well next time baby.

• Series one of Boss FIght's H.A.C.Ks incoming and figures have started to be sent out and go for ridiculous prices on Ebay. Backers get their orders in two shipments and pre-orders will ship after that's all done. International backers have been contacted on if they wanted to wait for all items to be shipped from their pledge or not.
• G.I Joe Status: got a convention coming this year, the box set looks pretty solid if you want Sky Patrol and back pack gliders. F.S.S 4.0 is currently shipping, 6 figures of the 13 (13th being a mystery). Panic as no retail line in sight this year. Pythona soon, weep as pics surface of the 3rd cancelled Amazon 4 pack from 2013.
• Marauder Taskforce figures: New colors from last year's kickstarter in-stock. Valkyrie battle waifus aiming for around mid year, but hopefully before Christmas. Head paint masters shown, not enough time to show off more pics as they have a schedule to keep.
• Hiya Colonial Marines and Powerloader incoming sometime, maybe this month, maybe next month... git sum.
• Oritoy Acid Rain: has a new civilian mech variant releasing soon, after that civilians, females and enemy troopers with big shoes and battle robot types. They look good, but can you afford them? WELL CAN YOU?
>>5597684
>but can you afford them?
No, considering I saw a rock rampage set and was $2 short for the motherfucker. Being unemployable sucks.
>>5597560
>likes Sightline
>hates two superior army builders
Sightline is such a poorly articuled figure. I really disliked Duke too
The Hunt for Ahsoka Tano
The Finn figure has literally cucked my chances of getting any new figures at retail around here.
about to pay scalper prices because fuck this noise, i have the money
>>5622207
She was on Amazon today for retail price, but when I tried to add it to cart, it said it was gone.
