What went wrong?
>>8727672That seems smart. I got a lot on clearance but only enough to play with, not sell.
>>8718781Amiibo didn't need to be useful, they could sell on IP alone. The problem with them is supply sucked so they'd get bought up and become rare and nobody wants to pay these retarded aftermarket prices for a three inch static character.
>>8719200Their was a MLP toy that had like a Cutie Mark where you had to put by a computer screen to make you got onto a MLP site
>>8727443i believe there was a rumor that said he would be released, and that he'd unlock EVERYTHING. in any case, i didnt care
>>8727374why? how?

Another forgotten toylines thread. Post the old, obscure, and never discussed lines of previous days
I still have a bunch of these.
And these.
try that on my snailiens
>>8657537Is that the Robot who was taking a piss in one scene or another character that was in the movie above Rodney?
>>8687991I had something like those I always got from a small Dispenser machine that was outside one of the shops in the town where I grew up.
Is there a scale worse than 1/12? >attracts the "nerd" type >Marvel Legends>Black Series>GI Joe Classified>Geek Culture>Toy hunt videos >Clogs up Toy Aisles with large boxesAnd of course, people who collect it make a :O face whenever they see a new 1/12 figure being released.
>>8727927Funny how you blame others for problems you cause
>>8727984hi necanon :)

>>8727927to be fair, we don't usually need much moderating, necanon, though he can be a pain, is nothing compared to the current state of things.

are those the amusement prizes?to make this particular assortment more appealing and new than getting a bag of Garfields every year

Funkos seem relatively popular, and I've seen the comical amounts of money some go for? Would buying Funkos to resell online be a viable way to make money? For clarity I'm not talking about buying in amounts that would bankrupt me. I'm just talking about buying 1-2 at a time and then reselling those.
>>8726910This.Toy shows a couple of years ago were flooded with Pop-only stands. Nobody was buying them. They pile up at stores like GameStop, FYE, Walmart, etc until they go B2G1 or BOGO.That said, it's not just Pops. If you're in the wrong area, selling _any_ toy for a profit is a serious fight. People just aren't buying until A) they hit Ollies or B) long after they've left Ollies and an the going rate is like triple retail. DON'T get into this unless you're comfortable sitting on everything you buy for 3-5 years and then being screamed at when you try to get $2 over retail when eBay's stuffed with triple retail listings.You would be better off taking the money you planned to invest in inventory, chopping it up into a fine power, and snorting it up your nose.
>>8723933Trust me as somebody who has been big enough to have dealer booths at conventions Funkos are absolutely not worth itThey're $10-12 retail and even at $5-8 sale you'll be lucky to sell em for anything over $10-15I can't tell you the number of times iv'e had them come thru my stock just to sit for months before selling them at a loss
>>8723933dude if you want to make money invest in stocks and crypto not pieces of plastic
Maybe like 5 years ago but not anymore. It's only the hardcore autists that spend more than $20 for a pop. Or the nerds just starting. Unless you can get all the pops you plan to sell at like $5 each you won't be making much. All the good shit that is worth anything is already out of reach and there's no way to tell how much something might go up in value after it comes out.
Just be careful with the boxes. I noticed that the retards who collect this shit line focuses more on the box than the actual figure.
Welcome to the Doll General!A thread for discussion of fashion dolls including Barbie, Disney, LOL OMG, Living Dead Dolls, Licca-chan etc but not BJD.Other toys considered dolls as well as girl collectable toys that are related to dolls or can be used as accessories to dolls are also welcome such as LOL, Capsule Chix, Shopkins, Polly Pocket and the like.Previous Thread: >>8682655>Archived Threads:https://archive.nyafuu.org/toy/search/subject/Doll%20General/>Sewing pattern books from Google+, reuploadedhttps://mega.nz/folder/iFd3wapa#B70grHUe4xsTkLU_s8Ag_Q
>>8727807This is sad, toy Youtubers can’t even give even slightly honest reviews because they’ll stop being sent free shit. Literally anyone who breathes can see that the current quality of Barbie is fucking dogshit, why defend cheapskate garbage products? I’m so fed up with the excuse of “we can’t expect it to be super detailed and premium, these are toys for kids“ because children deserve better than this
>>8728020Not to mention that MGA proves that “we cant expect detailed and premium” shit wrong, especially with what Mattel considers “Detailed and Premium”
>>8728053$50 for a non articulated doll with only the front half of the dress being printed lol

Finally got LC MMPR yellow and her torso crunch is stuck. Anyone know of a fix for that?
>>8726944Heat.
>>8711135As someone with a whole lot of nostalgia for the old MMPR and enough money [spoiler]read: a basic bitch[/spoiler], I kinda want to pick up figures for the 7 MMPR rangers as well as Dino and Thunder Megazords, and Dragon and White Tiger zords. It would be cool if the Megazords could come apart and reform as well.Given that this is the Power Rangers thread, what would be the... I don't want to say "best" as that's hella subjective, but what are the figures that are going to give me the most articulation, accessories, etc. for the price? Just reading through the thread, there seems to be a bunch of different lines, and I know when to say I'm in over my head. Any help, things to look for, lines to avoid, why one line is great and another sucks, etc. would be definitely appreciated.
>>8727934also lol fuck spoilering anything i guess
>>8727934For the OG Megazord, Dragonzord, and Titanus, the absolute best are the Soul of Chogokin set.Unrivaled articulation, detail, and make, the Triceratop's horn even comes out with a chain behind it.The drawback is that they'll cost you a fucking mint.Next one down is the Legacy versions.Pretty good, some odd use of diecast, like the Pterodactyl's head, better proportions than the 93 version.The one major drawback is that they insisted on using the Zordbuilder system that has the same peg joints for everything so you can swap between zords a bit.This, combined with the diecast placement(Dragonzord's heavy fucking feet namely) makes the knees weak as fuck. Megazord alone, it'll look fine. Set the Dragonzord on top of him, he'll lean like he's spotted a penny on the floor. Set him in Titanus, he's likely to pop apart.Titanus does come with a set of slide on braces that will straighten him out and keep him from tumbling most of the time, but it's too little too late.Legacy Thunderzords, White Tiger, and NinjaMegaFalconzord are fine as far as I know. Frog's mouth opens, btw. No tongue, make your own.No SoC for them yet, don't hold your breath either.Also worth checking in to are the Super Minipla. Simple model kits, a handful of them are Megazords, about 1/2 the size of a DX version. Great articulation.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
What kind of scenarios are you guys gonna set up with your BOTM Dinos, or any others?
>>8726785Uh JP General is narrow minded JP General and the JP brand not scales. Feathers have only been proven in the smaller theropods w a few exceptions namely Yutyrannus btw look we finally have BOTM Yutyrannus
>>8727035That’s what I thought. I have nothing against feathered dinosaurs provided it’s scientifically feasible, like hairy gorgonopsids (they likely at least had whiskers). While grew up with scaly JP raptors I love the more refined reconstructions these days that are grounded in the evidence based on fossils and phylogeny, often making dromaeosaurs look more like archaeopteryx on steroids.
>>8727183>that are grounded in the evidence based on fossils and phylogeny

Is it? I mean do you even get anything in return? A hobby to me... has to be productive in some way or form. You got things like drawing, repairing stuff, or coding, but collecting? I guess it gives you something to display on a shelf?I'm asking this because I purchased a couple of nendoroids a while ago, and I noticed the store's motto said something along the lines of "Supporting your hobby life". This kinda threw me in a weird state where I started to question why I even collect things like these in the first place. Thing is, I never considered this a hobby. It's just... a luxury I guess.
Well since I'm 14 (in minecraft of course) I just like collecting cool stuff from shows I like so ninja turtles transformers legos etc. It's fun, both the playing and collecting. I've been eyeballing this gyro zeppeli figure but like jesus $71 bucks. So the hobby is expensive. But enjoyable.
>>8721329I'm of the same opinion. Anytime anyone has anything to say about a topic like this it's always "U TRIGGERED BRO?" When you throw that one out you've basically already lost the argument, it's confirmation that you've got nothing to say.
>>8712079videogames i consider a hobby despite not being productive either, even film listening to music and reading are hobbies imotoys are either something to display, play with (including photographing if you're into that) or just decoration or the collecting/hunting part of it.I don't really care for the hunt or collection part that much imo. For lego the creative part is definately important wich pushes it towards your definition of hobby.
>>8713638How is this a problem?
>>8727679It’s definitely not a problem to only have passive hobbies. Take me, for example. Toys & video games are my only hobbies. I built up a pretty successful YouTube channel and I’m doing fine. My weight loss surgery was paid for by the tax payers and it was no problem at all for me. Now I’m down 50 pounds, but unfortunately I separated from my wife.
What's on the workbench, /toy/?Post WIP or finished projects, give advice, ask for advice, and most of all have fun!
>>8726968Seconding this. Use non-hardening modeling clay (NOT polymer clay) and take your time with the sculpt, freeze it for a few hours, then take it out to make the mold around it. Frozen modeling clay is stiff but not truly hardened like resin or epoxy, so it’ll hold the shape well even if it’s thin pieces while it’s still cold but will soften as it warms.
I fucked the angles of the lines up. How can I fix it?It's gray kneaditite by the way.
>>8724861If you'd like, I'd be happy to share the files I used, and you can make your own Bender. The body and door are my own 3D model, The arms are modification of a version someone else made for bender. In fact, you could just print theirs, though the joints are kind of poopy. Mine uses armature wire inside the arms to hold poses
>>8727814>how can I fix it?Fill it and start again.
>>8727859I'll give it another try but I already did that before posting.Hopefully, adding alcohol will help the new putty bond with the old one.
