>>8934254>Vision and Scarlett WitchPlease, Wanda's new design is as close as well ever get to a decent comic figureAlso, with all the Mando stuff they've been pumping out, I'm surprised they haven't done an Ahsoka yet. I wouldn't count SW as completely dead yet boys, but don't expect much going forward
>>8937025Yo everyone else is being an absolute shit head so I'll help you out, Amiami pre-owned has two of these right now I think. I wasn't gonna say anything because I want it myself and just haven't pulled the trigger yet but those are dudes are being shitters. But yeah if Ami is more comfortable for you, there's one on there.
>>8933902Highly doubt it, but hoping we see some S2 Mando characters
>>8939674Give us a Dark Trooper bandai, you cowards. Would settle for Bo Katan
https://hacchaka.net/archives/52068708.htmlLooking good.
Pohatu is the best toa. There's no other option.
>>8940548Let it all out. It's okay.
>>8900322I hate how its torso is upside fown and brown legos make me mad after they changed it to reddish brown
>>8900820 i remember Lewa had an exclusive transparent green mask from legoland
>thread makes me nostalgic>look up masks on bricklink to dee if I can find some i had as a kid>some are stupidly overpriced Why
>>8941184Holy shit, seek help you obssesed moron.
I bought my first Wrestling Figure to make a fed with the one and only Rainmaker!Show me your figures and Feds friends
>>8941033i mean it's not bad plastic, it just has a joint that you won't see most of the time that's flesh color instead of black. the plastic is fine.
>>8941060oh okay I thought you meant the actual crotch piece. if you wouldn't mind could you explain the difference in gear? comparing the old to the renders of the new one, to me the face looks like the only difference
>>8935801Yeah it's the same big question mark as to why we got those versions of Taker and Kane, instead of their far more iconic 98 or 99 looks. I'd love to have a Kane to setup with the rest of my stuff but fuck if I'm paying more than $20 for that mask.>>8937157At this point I'm more hopeful for a Big Bear from them, assuming they keep up with KOF characters. I know he'd be a deep cut but it would be more likely than a good Vader coming out from anyone in the future.
>>8941103it's just a different paint job. i think the headsculpts might be different too
>>8941122cool, thanks for the help anon
Welcome to the 1:18th general. All 1:18th scale lines are welcome including larger scales that may work with 1:18th. Post pics of your latest purchases, dios, customs and whatever else you feel like posting. We encourage mixing lines. Let's keep this general fun and help each other out.Previous general >>8786102
>>8940804Hell, looking at things the elbow joint is really in there but I've managed to replace the shoulder so... if you have an arm lying around that wold also be incredible.
>>8940684Honestly, even if i found them, I'd be unlikely to sell it, because i'm afraid of breaking mine.Shit's worse than Micromans 00 clear plastic.
>>8941024I managed to get the stupid thing out anyway. I heated one part off and on and wriggled it out with surgical tweezers. I have a 40-45 year old Time Traveller with a broken hand (wrist cap) know the feeling.
>>8941024who is the transformers guy
>>8941090Kicker. I think.I don't own him, but i don't believe he uses any clear plastic, so he's fine.
So /toy/, what have ya been buyin'?
get a Meowscles in
>>8921728currently collecting kenner marvel series 9.99 is an ripoff but I love the retro look
>>8932441I've heard that's a pretty good one but I can't shake the "this is a furry" thing.
>>8922223From the CC2 store?
>>8928884Post the m1911
I thought ninja turtles but not
Let's keep the thread open because this is fun, post an action figure accessory and see if other anons can guess it.
>>8931150Good job anon!
>>8931150fucking awesome dude
>>8931150anon fucking delivers
>>8929302That's a pathetic troll response from you as expected.
Why do modern kids hate knights and cowboys?
>>8934865Kids aren't playing with cowboy or knight toys because nobody is telling them stories about cowboys or knights anymore. Simple as that.
>>8940679Or they see it as cringe boomer shit.
>>8936538They have came at this head on. we will be seeing accurate natives based on different tribes shorty they are starting with an Indian Scout coming next year and then will be moving on to the Apaches with other tribes following shortly after. as for "Hollywood" Indians don't get your hopes up but as native gear and accessories come out you can make your own.
>>8936957Heads are removable and work with all the current 1:18th scale figures.
>>8940727Oh I'm just curious how a company that based on the name wants to pay homage to the unrealistic pulp era of adventure fiction was threading the needle. So they're really just going with realistic/researched figures based on a few western tribes? Probably not bad. i can't think of any Western tropes that would PREVENT them from doing.Are they really calling a figure just "Indian Scout though? That's the kind of thing I mean. That name fits well with the pulp fiction angle, but I can see people taking umbrage at it.
Chi si ricorda di questo?
>>8932336Io li ricordo pur non avendone mai posseduto uno. Che hanno di speciale? Mi hanno sempre fatto storcere il naso con la loro aria di cineseria
>>8932336morphine time, eh?
>>8932336yo quiero taco bell
che ore sono? le 20:11!
>>8932336No hablar espanioles
Hey /toy/, i'll be moving next month and I was wondering what's the best way to pack loose figures? I was thinking of wrapping them up in a kleenex and putting them on some bubble wrap, or is there a better way? They might stay in a box for a few months if that makes any difference.
>>8929822use your clothes and towel don't spend unnecessarily money I used towels for my hottoys and they are fine
>>8933051It is?
>>8929822They sell huge bundles of “bubble wrap bags” that are just bags on the inside but have bubble wrap on the outside. You can just plop 98% of your figures into those, seal them, and then use tissue + regular packing supplies for the big exceptions. It’s what I did when I did a cross country move
>>8933051>>8936244how is tissue paper better?
I moved last year and used bubble wrap on the bigger characters and ziplock bags on the small. I had no scuffs or breaks except for the cape peg on my figma megumin but out of 300+ figures that's not so bad
Anyone else still have stuff in their Private Warehouse?
>>8937694The one they did in january with the coupons was good, i got 30%
>>8938437>retard also uses racial slursChecks out
>>8937870I mean it is a community of outcasts who collect toys as adults. We're the people who get laughed at and made fun of in the real world. Then we get on here and try to act like we're the most superior of all the nerds. It's laughable really. We're sad little shits.
>>8940623Fuck you nerd
>>8940623speak for yourself.
I really like the Studiopolis base, but overall I'm not sure if this is worth the price tag when I already have a similar figure. Wondered what everyone else had to say about it
>>8938491I suppose if one is impatient and can afford to do it, I don't see why not.
>>8900498when was the TOMY one released? i never saw it before and i really want it but im sure its a rarity now..
>>8938712Around 2016, I think? Sometime around Sonic Mania’s release.I actually saw them at stores for a long time afterwards, until around 2020. Usually at places like Books A Million and GameStop.

what is the best of the 4 for investing purposes in your opinion?
>>8925910Btw thats real information... I aprove of what you say but the objective are quick flips... for me at least... buy only whats retiring on discount and make 100% profit....Buying new lego sets its a super high risk because you can't predict in how much time you will make your money back So...>>8925910If you had to invest now.... in little sets( less than 50 rsp) that are confirmed retiring... in what would you invest anon?
>>8909281Probably McLaren since it features unique colors and pieces. The rest is worthless. Can be easily recreated.
>>8933033thats not really true desu.... there are some unique pieces inside.... so not so easy to recreate as you may think
>>8930029I dont think they will rise any more than what they are now...Why dont sell?you can sell them easyly 180-200 a piece
>>8940516>>8930029why no sell then?
put some word bubbles on your toy photos and make little stories out of them. its fun
>>8932121>>8932161Fuck that's cringy

>>8937031>[New Product News] 1/24 NO.57 The Shadow Wolf of the Puppet Squad has made players wait for a long time. The first one-piece transforming vehicle--the Shadow Wolf is launched as a Puppet Squad---WISP Exclusive. With, the Shadow Wolf has both ultra-high mobility and all-terrain passability. It can be transformed into a deformable motorcycle form in plains. It can complete long-distance high-speed marching operations in mountainous dense forests and other complex terrains. It can be switched to beast form, and it can be used in both forms to complete tasks between shuttles and jumps. Equipped with wildfire or core body, and another special weapon system>number:???>Retail Price: TBD >Release Date: TBD Looks/sounds like it could very well be a “perfect transformation” design (no parts swapping between modes). I’m buying the shit out of this.
>>8934485So the drum mounted on the front is like an underground sonogram? That's clever.
>>8937863Such a shame that the KO scene died out so quickly. On that note, what's the best place to get a "Diamond Cyclone" Diabattles? I've seen it at a store in my country for about 85$ shipped but that still seems like a bit much for a bootleg
>>8939112You might as well grab the one in your local store, it's not much cheaper online and will take a while to ship from China. I know it seems kinda pricey for a bootleg, but trust me, it's really good quality. I honestly can't tell that much of a difference between my bootleg and real Diaclone stuff.
>>8937031>>8938145Hahaha fuck yes, I called it. Looks cool, might buy!
