How does it make you feel?
>>7507823>he actually thinks someone at Lego greenlit this set because they're "woke"Is this your first experience with marketing through social media? It got people talking about the brand. Of those people who were talking about the brand, many were applauding Lego (good for the brand), while many were deriding Lego for being femininimisimistic (also good for the brand because the popular perception of MGTOWs is undesirable so MGTOWs presenting themselves as being opposed to Lego shows consumers that Lego is on the correct side of history).
>>7501554UH OH where are the fully poseable female bloks figs? and nonono monster high/american girl don't count, because not all of us are stereotypically into dolls
>>7501525>52 with a 4 year oldShit, he'll be dead by the time she gets married.
>>7500030>there are too many lego boys and not enough lego girls (I agree. growing up I had 100 men and 1 woman).>is the answer to make figures a 50/50 boy/girl split amongst sets?>No, release one figure pack with 3 figs based on real women>we are so progressive

Let's see if we can help each other find our grails.
>>7505869this reminds me I need to either completely gut every storage box I have looking for the pin I have of it, or get a new one. They only go for like $15 since NO ONE is ever going to throw their's away, so no demand is going to increase for the forseeable future.
>>7507988I already got all the pins, shot glasses and 5 shirts, the only thing that seems to be exceptionally are the figures and license plate.
Guess I have to put the MB EVA-1 back on my grail-list since those CUNTS at bbts overbooked their pre-orders and just cancelled on me.
>>7508287which makes sense, kids were less likely to want to buy the figure due to the nature of the attraction. And since it was a disney park toy, kids seem more likely to just toss it away if that makes sense based on my experience of my youth and my younger siblings.
>>7507152Holy Grail = No price limits
Optimus Prime is now scheduled for September release. That does leave a nice spot in July for another AY hmmmm.>APRILSpider-Man (Reissue)>MAYIron Man -Bleeding Edge Armor-Takeya-shiki Jizai Okimono 15th Century Gothic Style Equestrian Armor(Silver/Bronze)>JUNERevo Geo Akategani - Red-clawed Marsh Crab -Evangelion Unit-03 (Reissue)>JULYComment too long.

>>7507784I would take AY WM any day but it's a bit redundant because modern comics WM is pretty much MCU WM similar to one around the WM Mark 2. Maybe swap parts for Punisher version to add some play value? Much like how AY IM feels like an upscale Mini Mark 6 I would like an upscale of the Mini WM because it was a great toy.
>>7507776This.I need a hulk and a thor
>>7507557dont hold ur breath anon, if i learn anything from AY is that since deathstroke, they've been using this very gummy kind of plastic for their figurei doubt it will be like capt america, since his body is made off hard plastic
>>7507709What the fuck is Samurai Showdown?I've only heard of Samurai Shodown
>>7508275What the fuck ive been spelling it showdown my whole life
https://toy-wizards.com/2019/04/21/nickelodeon-releases-spongebob-meme-toys-and-theyre-absolutely-glorious/ Nickelodeon Releases ‘Spongebob Meme’ Toys and They’re Absolutely GloriousSome of the greatest moments from Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants have become wildly popular memes online. Finally, some brilliant person, or team over in the toy development department have tapped into something incredibly special. Available now are figures of some of the best fan favorite moments (that have morphed into memes) in toy form.Oh, the executive who signed off on this is about to get a fatty, fatty, bonus.While the word ‘meme toy’ is sort of enough to make cynics cringe, once you actually see the toys, you can’t help but smile.Produced by the Alpha Group, there are six toys available in this line. Each one is 8 and has an MSRP of about $21, and are available via Amazon right now.Toys in the Masterpiece Meme Collection are: SpongeGarComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>$21 for a statue shit of spongebob memesnope.aviI really wanted handsome squidward too..
>>7505972I've seen these, they're very big so not exactly diorama material.
>>7505956yeah, but why would they articulate something from a jpg?
and they fucked them up already, 0 POA fuckhueg and too expensive to be a novelty.they will fucking rot in the shelves.
>>7505948Maybe I just don't go to the places where it circulates but I've never seen the leftmost Spongebob meme, or at least I don't remember seeing it. Feels like a strange pick. Also, the closed eyes Squidward variant is completely redundant. This is worst repaint/retool ever, not even slightly justified to exist.
Here's Chewbacca and some Disney characters. You love Disney characters don't you? You have to buy Disney characters if you want a classic OT character like Chewbacca!Last thread: 7493628
>>7507388Cinematography in Last Jedi is gorgeous.
>>7507996>>7507388I thought the samekek it made me even MORE mad that it was wasted on 100 other failures
Apparently 5-12 is when these are street dated for. Hasbro sure loves its fucking street dates lately.
>>7508309Nice
>>7506436>This is absolutely the worst Star Wars General I have ever seen.Mate, this isn't even close to the worst one we have had on years. Just ignore people. It's really not that hard.>>7507466I don't think this is wise at all, and it obviously will never happen. When someone is banned, the whole thread get derailed. As I said, just ignore people. It basically solves everything
Why isn't Hasbro making MTG figures? Why did Funko make them? Are they good?
No, they look like they are made of clay. And painted by a 4 year old.
>>7508169No, it's no Overwatch or Marvel, but I'd say it can fit next to Power Rangers at least.>>7508185Ah, thank you that makes sense.
>>7507869>>7507875i think lilliana turned out comparably alright. not that i ever knew the source material
>>7508386Is MTG THAT popular?
>>7508100>In all honesty I would argue MTG has more recognizability than GI Joe at this pont.And you would be 100% fucking wrong retard. Literally everyone knows what GI Joe is. Magic is and always will be a low rent niche property.
Anyone else ever take a figure or toy and repurpose them in your own way? Example >Huge Transformers fan as a kid. (Early 07 movie era) >Friends and I made do with older figures to have fun best we could>Find Astro-Megazord at a yard sale in decent condition and try and pay for it. >I knew it was power rangers but I didn’t care>Suddenly had this alien knight looking sword spaceship man in Optimus prime colors >Created the new identity of the Cosmic crusader and intergalactic space hero Astro SpaceKnight. >Still display him with my OG older figures as he’s always going to be that character to me. Anyone else have similar stories?
>>7502050That's basically how they made Transformers, and a few Micronauts characters
>>7502050No thats Galaxy Mega from Denji sentai Mega ranger
>>7502050I didn't have any lego star wars set when I was young so I made do with the old classic space/hydronauts/insectoids sets I already had and pretended one of the robots was darth vader and rode a crappy hobbled together tie fighter.
>>7502050>as a kid>2007I'm old.
Clean up first if you must
>>7506474That sounds painful. I work in Post and the CEO comes around for notes, but media is a very relaxed environment where every says "fuck" and such >>7507232They're blind bagged and multi colored.

What Mezco releases are you looking forward to? I'm personally excited for Hal Jordan!
>>7507041>They make the original shittier and then take the good things about it and make it exclusiveClassic
>>7507041>just the onyx figure with a different belt and emblem>still going to be disappointed when i miss the pre-order
>>7507041Thinking about selling off my original BvS batman and trading up to the Tactical suit. Seems like it's got better articulation and it looks good enough.Anything to watch out for? Also do the heads swap?
>>7504750That's not spandex, that's thick rubber, and that's why it has padding underneath, there's no difference between that an Shazam's. Also>GarfieldNigga you kidding? He a twink. See pic related, and it's just a tight t-shirt on a not-so-ripped dude, more than very attainable for any actor. Plus fabric can be tailored, so it can show even more muscles, I never understood the obsession with rubber.
>>7508444>I never understood the obsession with rubberScratch that, I forgot for a second that Hollywood is run by gay juice.
Super7's reaction line got cool after they cut ties with Funko.Since they left Funko, the figures and the card art are way better.And the figures alone are not great by todays standards, but the figures with the packaging as a whole are like a cool piece of art. I'm not even a mint on card collector but I kinda feel like that's the appeal to these. A cool piece of art to hang on the wall.I get they're not for everyone but the whole facetious "It's bad on purpose" take is dumb and misses the point.
My biggest complaint with these is a lack of a resealable package. Something like the 4H Outerspace Men cards with the slide off card would be perfect. Their original stuff especially is a ton of fun, things like The Worst and Killer Bootlegs Phantom Starkiller are incredible. Artwork across the board is nice, the Metropolis figures they put out on the oversized art deco city card were nuts. Anyone who complains about the toys is a complete sperg "muh articulation" a toy doesn't have to be a modern articulated masterpiece to be an effective or fantastic toy.
>>7508374I agree, although I do prefer these hanging on my wall, it’d be nice to have the option to take them out and mess around with. But then I guess classic packaging doesn’t do that so it’d take away from the integrity of what they’re supposed to be maybe? Idunno.They’re original stuff is great though. I’m bummed I missed out on the original run of The Worst. I just ordered they’re reissue if Batula but I prefer the original color scheme
>>7508344the art is cool to hang if you are a hipster basedboy and the figures are so shit it's not even funny.
I almost picked up their Alfred Hitchcock at a Newbury Comics but they put a big price sticker right on the card, fuck that
Welcome to Jurassic General what does the future of this line hold for us now?
>>7487618I’m looking forward to Super Colossal Blue along with Brachio, myself.
>>7501090
>>7507207I haven't been working one one as of late. People don't seem to care all that much about what the thread image is, and whenever I ask what people want to see, only one or two people get back to me. I'll get back to it one day, just not today.
I just got back from Target and noticed a bunch of the JW & Legacy stuff is half off. Not sure if it's chain-wide.None of the newer dinos or the really big ones were included, but the larger assorted dino set was there, along with the legacy 3.75" figures: Grant, Sattler, Malcolm, Muldoon, and the Stygimoloch and Mercenary set. Sadly, all the jeeps and such had already been cleaned out. Would have liked to get one of those.
the only thing that brings me back to these threads anymore is the desire to have some kind of closure on the super articulated raptor(s). I am feeling less and less optimistic they may release it and just want them to officially announce a cancellation already...
Show Me What You Got!
>>7508156I can understand not liking it, it took a while for the suit to grow on me, but what about it is "cringe"?
>>7508279Lol make me you fucking nerd
>>7507353>Gogeta attackA clear vending machine bouncing ball would work for that. Weight would be an issue, though.
>>7508284I will. Soon, I will.
>>7507355>>7508098Ok here we go. Not a perfect match but still pretty good.Even >>7508099 looks better than previous attempts. I think the shoulder and chest widths were the main problem.
Honest question not troll bait. Have your collections or figures ever impacted a possible relationship with someone. How have people reacted to it?
My fiancee seems a-ok with it. She likes that I have other hobbies that don't have to include her. For our second christmas together she even got me a 4H Scarabus, which isn't a cheap or easy figure to get ahold of.We had a party of few weeks ago and a bunch of drunk people inadvertently saw my office. My collection kind of blew their minds and everyone seemed really interested in it and people were asking me questions about various figure. Luckily I try very hard to keep my office very /toy/-centric but well-decorated and not an autistic clusterfuck, which I don't think would have been as impressive.
>>7504352people actually get interested in my collection at times and ask if I got anything new. Helps a lot that the parts of the collection that interest people the most are my model kits and painting them. So they usually ask "Hey anon, got any new projects this month you working on?" People get impressed by the idea of someone painting and detailing a kit despite most of what I do being really easy. "Man I could never make my nerf gun look that good...">can you spray one solid color on a surface from a can of spray paint?"yeah...">then you can get as 'good' as me, what I did is nothing"but all those details...">just an ink wash, if you can stay within the lines on a coloring book that is LITERALLY all the talent you need to achieve what I got. And what I got isn't even that good"not that good, but it looks so awesome"People who don't do any sort of creative art type thing are so easy to impress.
>>7504352Never been a problem and I date girls others think are hot. I've also just always been active and into working out though and hold down a good earning job. Also, I'm in Asia where collecting toys isn't really so weird or odd. Girls buy gachas all the time too, as well as plushies for their desks. I've never really run into people who react repulsively to it until I went to college in the US, but even then I understand really, after seeing how some people who do collect toys there behave.I collect Kamen Riders, every boy my generation grew up with it. Pokemon, most of the girls played it as a kid. I was born in the 80's too where the whole "nerd culture" thing is really non-existent. I mean adults still go to Doraemon and Detective Conan movies here out of nostalgia.

>>7506484Not that anon, but he was correct. There was a price rise when series 2 came out and an announcement that the Bucky O'Hare line would cost more than the Hacks, which boss fight announced on their facebook.
>>7507763Huh, sorry then anon. Guess I never ordered any series 1 from the store before then, got most of the figures from the Kickstarter.
Can someone please post the link to the bsf blank bootleg KOs? I've searched all over ebay and I'm blind and/or stupid
>>7507446Where’d you get the horse?
>>7507890Nah you're not blind. I don't see them either. They might of been taken off eBay.>>7508329It's from the prince of persia movie line. The saddle was repainted black.
