This took me two days and still looks like shit, is there a better way to do this?
>>7600935I usually just buy masks.
>>7600935looks ok to me
>>7600935you'll get faster the more you do it (duh) but if you want to skip a little bit of cutting the bulk of the tape you can invest in some liquid mask.Use the tape to seal edges (inside edge does not matter) then use the liquid to mask the bulk of the area.
>>7600681I remember someone posting a link to an assembly review, and stated that they would rather buy a trumpeter kit. Specifically, link below.http://www.moxingfans.com/m/view.php?aid=5092Moreover, RPG is coming out with a couple of MK-15 turrets in 1/35 scale, each sold separately. Otherwise, I am just curious to see what RPG has in store for afterwards, and wanted to know what others thought.
I work at a retail store and let me tell you, the people who collect these things are the fucking stupidest people on the fucking planet. To the point where they are fucking crying over not POTENTIALLY getting certain funkos. Not to mention the fucking flippers- 'DO YOU HAVE ANY CHASES?' 'ANY CHASES TODAY?' god FUCK the people who collect these. Fuck them all.
>>7600115Because I'm a faggot with no life, what do you expect?
They pretty much overpriced and overhyped garbage but they have some ok ones, I have Angus young sitting at my desktop at work and beavis, butthead and Jim Raynor at home. The one from sharknadoo looks pretty good too.

Mattel just revealed for SDCC they're releasing a brand new He-Man two pack featuring He-Man and Prince Adam in their comic book style. The figures themselves at first glance look like MOTU Classics, but are actually brand new sculpts with interchangable hands.The figures themselves will also be offered at reasonable prices compared to the Classics line:>$40 for the set of figuresThese figures also come in the wake of an announcement that Mattel was going to be reviving the line in some form in the media(and likely toys). Mega Construx noticeably has been waiting till Power-Con to discuss the line as well and possibly show off new mini-figures.
>>7601017You keep throwing statements without any substance to base them and than you dare to call others trolls. Pathetic
After 1000 hours in Ms paint I can show off a direct comparison, and the legs of the original look better, their permanent bend looks better against the sculpt of the codpiece fur, and the codpiece crotch is sculpted to be larger and cover a bit more. I am surprised that this new version went through like this as it does look quite off, and just off as in different but off as in "ehh that doesn't really look good at all"
>>7601026You call everyone that knows better than you "4Hshill" as if that's supposed to mean something. You've done nothing but shit up this thread from day one. Fuck off already.
>>7601050>You call everyone that knows better than youThat's rich coming from the retard that didn't even know these He-Man figures based on the vintage figures.>derailing the threadLook everything started when I dared to critic muh 4H company, all you fags got butthurt and tried to claim the old joints and sculpts is better but you fail and yes you're clearly butthurt 4Hfag as you prove by knowing nothing He-Man besides the classic line being sculpted by 4Hacks. Now go back to your containment thread 4Hfag as you clearly don't give a fuck about He-Man.
>>7587828>>7587830>>Blonde hair and black eyebrows.How's that Nice'n'Easy working for you, He-Man?
So I just discovered these things and they instantly made my dick hard, but they're kinda old and bloody expensive. So anons who have these are they worth it? anons who don't have these, why not?
>>7596530I have Airi and she’s fucking adorable. The blush on the skin is a nice touch and the ratchet joints hold up well, they feel solid. My only complaint is that revoltech connects to the legs to the body in a weird way that makes posing unintuitive for someone used to figma hip joints. I dunno how much Phicens cost but Airi cost me 2000 yen on Mandarake.
>>7600763Oh, and for 2000 she was ‘box opened’ but I saw no fingerprints on the tape used to seal everything in or on the very glossy base as a sign of use. Somehow there was a fucking pube hair on there though.
>>7596579
>>7600764cool you got a bonus piece
>>7600764>>7601028Mandarake must know you have a stray pubic hair fetish, very generous of them to throw it in free of charge.
Are they glorified dolls for manchildren or something? Seems like they're getting very popular lately.
>>7561673Yeah no they're cringier.

Does anyone else here remember Pontiki/Ponchiki?It was a little kind of Mr. Potato Head-like toy that originated in japan and got a US exclusive line. Pic related. I assume these are very rare to come by now because I can't seem to find any of the Japanese sets on online retailers, but honestly I don't know where to even look in the first place for something old and obscure like this. If anyone ever owned some I'd love to know what you thought about them. As a collector of strange things it would be neat to get my hands on the jp sets, but I'm not holding my breath.
>>7596310Sure thing! I'd personally suggest FromJapan. You just have to copy+paste the url of the listing and bid on it from there. Auto sniper bids are best.Here's some more general info on JP proxies if you need it:http://buyfags.moe/Proxy_and_forwarding_services
>>7595163You really brightened my day by making this post. Pontiki were one of my favorite toys as a child. This guy was my first and has always been my favorite, he is my sole desk buddy to this day
>>7598906And here is my full collection. I originally could only find them at a small toy store in a vacation spot my family went every summer, but later they were sold at Barnes & Nobles and that's where the majority of these guys came from I think.
>>7598906>>7598909I got mine from B&N as well. I placed a bid on some of the japan ones. My holy grail is some white/magenta colored ones and the Tokyo sets though.
Never seen these before
Hey, does anyone collect any of the old Batman figures from Kenner/Hasbro? I've been considering tracking down old BTAS figures from the 90's and early 2000's recently after thinking about how many characters they did for the line, and how many playsets and vehicles they made. It seems like the best line of action figures to collect Batman-wise. I mean they did just about everyone:>Batman>Robin>multiple Bruce Waynes and a Dick Grayson>Multiple Batgirl figures>Commissioner Gordon>Alfred>Penguin, Riddler, Mad Hatter, The Creeper, Two-Face, The Joker, Harley Quinn, two different versions of Ra's al Ghul, Talia, Posion Ivy, The Ventriloquist and Scarface, Phantasm, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Catwoman, Clayface, Bane, and Man-bat. You also had Superman figures which were compatible as well, which really opened things up even more, and you could sort of fudge things a bit and make a few of the Justice League figures by Mattel work depending on the character, since the Mattel line was a little smaller.Anybody else think they were cool?
>>7600315The Batgirl is another favorite of mine, its a pretty nice woman sculpt for the era.
>>7600318But overall the line is probably most notable for doing a bunch of comic style villains, though not entirely faithfully. I think this is the only Preston Payne Clayface figure released, weirdly enough also an early online exclusive.
>>7599421I also got the Biker Robin and the cycle from the Batman Forever line and Superboy from the Man of Steel one but no Supes himself (unless the Brandon Routh one counts). I don't really like the look of the regular Supes in the Man of Steel line, so I'm thinking about picking up the TAS Superman instead.>>7600315There's something weird going on with with the face sculpts on some of them, the Batman Forever biker Robin somehow looks more cartoony than the MoS Superboy who isn't even based on a real person; I think they probably failed to get the rights to Chris O'Donnell's likeness after they'd already sculpted the figure so they smeared out the details.
>>7599467As a kid i fucked loved how diverse these all were. as a huge fan of the show it was fun to own just a massive collection to play with.

>>7600623That's the recently released Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva. His was my first Kamen Rider series in tandem with W.
>>7600623I got him for about $40 total (pretty cheap for the line) and he's well worth it so far as Figuarts go. Lots of detail and poseability, plus he has an alternate leg for his finishing attack (see >>7576513).

>>7601133>>7601135>MORE 0080Jesus why even release the GP01 and 02 this early if we're gonna take a year to get anything else from 0083?It does look nice, though. I'll probably order one.
>>7601163They always break up mook releases with Gundams
>>76011630080 doesn't have the longevity of 0079 and is already stopping at Variant Junction. There're only a few more suits they can even make so they're supplementing 0080's lack if diversity and quantity of designs with what's next, and before 0083's gone on very long we'll probably see 08th or whatever's to follow since 0083 also exhibits some similar qualities to 0080 when it comes to the lack of diversity in its designs (lots of variants and recolors).
Why don't Bionicle fans just buy Gundam? Both are building toys, and besides lego disowned you. Bandai will always love you.
>>75984091. Lore2. Aesthetic3. Complex customization without cutting and gluingAnd I'm sure a lot of us buy/bought both.>>7598426>zoomersBionicle debuted eighteen years ago. I'm probably older than you are.>>7598477Toys R Us used to sell gunpla to kids back in the mid 00's. They still sold model kits for kids up until the shutdown.>>7598519Not for babies, but young enough. "First Grade" used to be a thing for Gundam, and Bandai was putting out novice-level Sprukits with the Batman and Pokemon licenses. LBX was a recent line that was completely child-targeted with a game tie-in.>>7598526Resident obsessive shitposter who thinks he's just pretending to be retarded. /toy/'s had that problem for a few years and from what I understand most of it was coming from the one guy using multiple personas. You'll notice Necanon disappeared shortly after Kirafag showed up, and I'm sure Kirafag was replaced by whatever character of his is being recognized here.
>>7598409Because they're too busy trying to build asses and tits out of children's toys like horny 12 year olds. Fuck, I hate this dipshit community.
>>7600429>Considering we are in a Bionicle + Gunpla related thread and you haven't mentioned any of that earlier, you could've fooled me.Like you said, it's a bonkle+gunpla thread. Other companies weren't relevant until the conversation evolved to include them.Again, the idea is for people to buy a few gunpla, see the quality of plastic and engineering they could be getting for the same price or lower, and pressure west-based companies to match that by withholding their money.>Why do you think we have separate general for 3p transformers?For the same reason we have separate generals for bionicle and system, or LEGO and plastic building blocks. Because their fans hate eachother and disrupt the threads when put in the same space.>As I said earlier, I'm not the only one complaining.People have been complaining since the Phantoka. They complain in the forums and then they buy the product anyway. They've been doing it with LEGO, with Warhammer etc. Even you are doing it. As long as your opinion doesn't impact their profit, companies doesn't care about it.
>>7599645>>7598512Not that anon, but HG's are aimed at 8 year olds and Build series was also aimed at kids.>>7599724Aren't all the saftey standards came as result of dumb burger kids getting injured?
>>7600468>unlike muh big strong retard proof bonkle
Welcome to the Plastic Building Block General, your place for all non-Lego legos, MegaBloks/Construx excepted. Tell us about what you're waiting to clear customs, discuss crap you found at the dollar store, show off your piles of guns!

Meh on Bush and Obama, but somehow the god emperor must be defended. Anyway, that's beside the point.>>7595125Pics? We're aren't psychics, but judging by your description it sounds like a KO based on series of ships Lego made for the Town line. Lego ships back then had weighted ballasts and electric motors.
