Okay, I'm now ready to handle my figures
Wearing gloves might be too much. Though I do find myself washing my hands everytime I mess around with my figures.
>>10059090>always wash hands before touching figures>residue from soap slowly eats away at paint/finishes
>>10057370>>10057708Based, now pretend they're master and crazy hand from smash bros.
>>10059090I always wash my hands with dishwasher soap cause it gets them really nice and dry, then put gloves on lol. I'm autistic about body oils getting stuck to my figures (happened in the past)
>>10057370I just wash my hands, that is usually enough for me. I'm kinda anal about washing my hands before touching anything I consider to hold value though.

>>10062939Places that break down the figures and sell individual components.
>>10062943Like?
>>10063025Blackopstoys if you don't mind getting ripped off or ebay sellers from china.
>>10063082>Blackopstoys if you don't mind getting ripped off or ebay sellers from china.Monkey Depot is cheaper, but you're gonna have to check their site every day. tmthobby on eBay is the usually on the bleeding edge of parting out figures first, but you have to take your chances with auctions.
>>10063082>>10063089Thanks for the advice. How will I know when I've found the right hands? Should I message the sellers to ask or is there a specific peg system I should look out for?
are pulling out
>>10057416shame I didnt pull out of your mothert. your dad
>>10057416of what?
>Xe made another threadOnly a tranny would harp on something this much. We now have like five fucking threads about this.
>>10059383Only /pol/ thinks trans people are behind every thread he dislikes. Rent free, after all.
>>10057416Will they start rebacking now that they packed in the alt head?
Any non-poorfags here also feel like they get more enjoyment out of cheap stuff? I've stuff in the $200, $350, even $400 range. I don't think I get as much enjoyment out of them as I do simple, cheap little novelties.
what does redditfrog have to do with this?
>>10054757>can't afford a replacementSo you a a poorfag. This thread isn't for you.
>>10054554diecast cars can be fun, sometimes I spend $2 and sometimes I spend $50+, most of the time there's nothing to get though
Most toys that go above the $200 range are rarely ever actually playable. They're usually 1:6 dolls and 12" figures are pretty unwieldy. And since they're dolls, they usually use fabric and fabric on toys can be pretty fiddly, which hampers their playability too.IF they're not dolls, then it's vehicles and playsets. $200+ vehicles in general are also unwieldy, because they're also 12"+, so it makes palying with them very hard to do. You can't zoom around a 16" tank like you could with a 5" car.If you can treat the vehicle like a playset, like say, some 24" transport helicopter where you're loading troopers into the compartment, it can be fun.THEN there's "super premium" toys, like diecast mecha, which frequently go over $200. That shit is rarely ever worth the money it goes for. It's basically $50-100 toys being upcharged because it's super niche, either because the company is greedy or because there's very few collectors who actually want them.Enjoyment isn't any less or better than similar toys of that size and type. Quality is also little better, if it's better at all. Nevermind the lies that diecast is even considered a premium, when it's cheaper to produce and has less detail than high pressure injected molded plastic.Only reason to buy "premium" shit is if it doesn't exist elsewhere.
>>10054554Depends on my mood. Sometimes I like a nice high quality import, other times I like a cheaper domestic figure. It just depends.
I have all these and a bunch of Mario characters. Who else is available to add? Looking for some 4-5 inch Minecraft Steves / Alexes too. Thanks, all.
>>10044828they want like 120$ for a statue. I'd gladly pay, but unlike Muk and Nidoking, Kingler should have articulation.
Recently set up a Detolf case with my Smash/vidya stuff, I’ll snap some pics after work today.
>>10013043Do you live in a dust factory?
>>10059785t-that's battle damage cuz they fought...
>>10021618SHF when?
lol why bother even buying something if youre not gonna play with it
Well it's their toys they can do whatever they wish with them. Some people like to open them and play with them as I do. Some people just like them for decorations, or perhaps they really do believe they are some kind of investment. Whatever the case it's their money they are spending. Even if they buy it just to melt it down it's their choice, there's always going to be people who destroy, and people who build. That's just life man.
Nicely designed box are meant to be show and they are part of the toy>>10057831He is right
>>10059184
I have about 8-9 Medium sized Amiami boxes full of the relevant releases from this year and late last year and I haven’t opened a single fucking one. My Steam Deck arriving made it worse as I just live with the boxes in my room, completely untouched, I haven’t even seen the little anime girl postcard they put in the boxes
>>10057779I'm personally not a fan of keeping things in package but then again sometiems I'm too lazy to open a toy.
im trying to sell some toys and i wanna share the pics i took but every site i try does something retarded that makes it useless.theyre either slow, or they sort images wrong or you have to click 20 times to get to the full size image or you have to verify with your phone.what do you guys use?
geocities is pretty good
>>10060029just use imgur, ya boomer..
>>10060029most people use imgur
I had 5 figures sitting in my cart on Dorkside for a few days from their Summer sale. All figures I vaguely wanted, but was only really considering because of how low their prices were. Ended up putting in the order for about $70+ after shipping, around what I pay for a single import figure, and immediately wished I hadn't. I've got 300+ figures and already have over 30 unopened figures with no space to display them. Fortunately, I'd waited so long to order, 3/5 figures were out of stock, so I just cancelled the whole order.Have you ever regretted buying something before even receiving the figure?
>>10059102I feel guilty for being selfish and possibly irresponsible. Like I've got three toys hiding in my car right now, I slowly filter them in so the Mrs doesn't rip my friggin head off. Ah well, never said I'm not a shitty person. Got her a nice pearl ring for her bd day.
>>10060138I've been trying to do this more and more now that I feel like I've got most of the major characters from any particular franchise. Most stuff I get now are tertiary characters or alt costumes that I'm willing to live without if they don't go on sale.
>>10060180Holy shit anon. Get your shit together. If you're the primary breadwinner in the house, and it's within your means, do whatever the fuck you want. If it's affecting you according bills or it's her money then that's a different story. But holy shit man up or nut up.
When I was in my early 20's and living with my parents I would buy absolutely everything that caught my eye. I did have a few purchases that I regretted, mostly figs from IPs I didn't know, and my collection got to be way too big for my tastes. Ended up having a huge cull and only keeping figs from a particular IP that I love. The irony is there's a few figs I regret giving up but I'm not about to go out and rebuy them.
>>10059102I usually do research and have a good idea of what I'm getting before I actually buy something.
Pretty late here, like 17 or so. I was a friendless autismo tho.
>>10053352Honestly, 20. Only reason I stopped was because of moving in with the gf and being too embarrassed since she's always home when I am. Although, it was only Army Men and old beat up GI Joes by that point, and it'd be a sporatic thing once every few weeks. Around 17 though, I did get way more concerned with actually converving my toys, I didn't want to ruin newer purchases, so those were strictly for posing and displaying. I do still come up with backstories for photo shoots and on the rarest chance I get alone time and there's nothing better to do, I'll dick around with Army Men at the desk, but the days of a bucket of beat up figures to simply smash around for a few hours is long gone. I think it stems from most of my childhood collection getting thrown away by my mother when she lost custody back in the day, so now I can't ruin a toy out of an irrational fear of never getting another one. Even accidentally scratching a figure bums me out sometimes. Ironically though, my gf says I can play with my toys if I ever need to for nostalgia's sake when she's around but I never did that shit in front of anyone as a kid and I'm not doing it in front of her lol. That, and I'll usually do something more productive whenever I have the time. Sorry for the blogpost.
>>10059571Also, sorry for the slight grammarical errors. Sleepy.
>>10053352Probably sometime in high school. I used to build my own bonkles and as I was building them I would come up with stories for them to keep my mind occupied. Nowadays I just pose my figures and leave them like that until I want a new pose for them. Sometimes I'll pose figures fighting each other and sometimes part of that is having them do motions to see if I like the feel of a pose or if the figure can pull off the pose I'm aiming for.
>>10053352around 15 years old but I still occasionally fiddle with a small legend class Megatron I keep around on my desk for destressing
>>10053352I wish I'd played with them longer. I'm in my thirties and the last time I can remember being genuinely happy was when I was 10 or 11 years old, spending hours sitting on my bed playing with my g.i. joes.
Are there any other instances of a cheap domestic toy mogging an import toy of the same character?
>>10055804>Erectile dysfunction lightsaber
Only one that really crosses my mind is the s.h.monsterarts 62 Godzilla vs the neca 62 Godzilla that released around the same time.It's close but it was a mixture of Bandai dropping the ball and neca putting out the best godzilla they ever did
Bump for more examples.
>>10055868cloth shit on action figures makes it feel too much like a doll
>>10055868Depends on the cape design and what fabric is used. Fabric cape can be a very nice touch. >>10063021>Oh no! It has a fabric cape! It's a fucking fashion doll now! Noooo!What an insecure faggot.t. collects both action figures and fashion dolls.
>mfw a friend of mine is selling a huge Legends collection full of hard to find figures >Only 200 sorry bucks in my pocket >He says that until Sunday everything must goHow do you cope with the fact that everything that you want is right in front of you and there is nothing that you can do about it, right in front of your fucking face
>>10057332>all you need is cyclops, wolverine, and storm.Nah I need Rogue and her fat fucking ass and Beast is pretty cool too. Ultimately I'm glad I got the Marvel Legends versions because I could flip them to fund the Mafex ones if I wanted(but I just gave most of them to my nephew because he enjoyed them more). I will probably keep the Rogues, though.
>>10054041>full of hard to find figureswhich figures bro
>>10057273I don’t collect those shitty figures im an all import guy
>>10054041Spend that money on one or two actually good toys instead of Legends crap.
>>10062977This, also stop being a poorfag
> Open latest box from Amiami with other people in the room> Amico ass right in your face in the thank you note
>>10054292Gonna need a pic of thisFor reference
>>10054292Have you never ordered from them before? They ALWAYS send a card with her (and sometimes one of her buddies) on it. What's more, there's a different card each month - I've got a million of the things at this point, but I'm guessing pic related is the one OP is talking about, since it's the most recent one with her ass on display.The general rule of thumb is that if you're ordering weebshit, you should never open it in public - you never know what may be packed in there. Alternately, move the fuck out of your parents' basement, and you'll never have to worry about opening shit in discretion ever again.
