>>10928218The Altered Beast Werewolf is a VERY nice looking and articulated for any company, much less Jakks. I'm so shocked. But we still don't know the exact size if it'll be closer to 4" or about 5" like some of their Nintendo spin off lines (Zelda, Samus, etc)
>>10928228They specifically listed the line as 4" so I dunno if that differs from the Nintendo stuff. They also announced a Super Monkey Ball figure too
I picked this big ole guy up last week. Haven't taken any pics except some test shots. My GF insisted I buy it when she saw it at GameStop. I'm fine with this.
>>10928218although i wish it was 6" i'm still glad we're getting classic sor figures.
So what exactly is the latest interation of the Future floor wax for fixing loose legs / hips? This guy needs it as does (ironicly) Crazy Legs and my zombies.
>>10928537If it's hips on a G.I Joe with Metal t-bar hips, wrap the ball in a small amount of clear tape.
One thing I still don't get, if this is a Sega line why has there not been any Sega logos on the packaging?
>>10928361The Avatar mechs are honestly pretty neat, plus it was damn easy to get them for next to nothing. The movies mad 2 billion dollars each, but could not sell a toyline
Gundamit sent me an invoice for a bunch of my joytoy figures
This is the kind of thread I can appreciate. DC General is 1/10 while 1:18 General, /biog/ and /lg/ are amazing, amazing 10/10's.
Do the 52Toys Captain Commando figures count as 1:18?Theyre supposed to be 3.75"If so.. i hope they scale well with these sega figures. Would love to pair the Commandos with the altered beast werewolf.
>>10929702i really want to buy more (2 mattels, 2 mcfarlanes) just because they're pilotable mecha, but they're such a boring design.glass cockpits aren't exciting, but man, McFarlane really nailed it, so they can basically do everything you see in the movie.... and i guess i technically only own 2 since the Mattel ones split their hip sockets, so they're both broken.Fucking cheapshit plastic and the worst engineering to go with it. They basically have 70s swivel leg action, so gluing them back together wouldn't really impede their poseability.
>>10930558That happened to mine, and I used a zip tie to fix it, worked like a charm. Fix has worked for years, too. Still moves perfectly.
jakks is close to becoming my dream toy company if these things end up being reasonably priced. 1/18th figures with waves of different game IP, I could collect that until I die.
>>10930807Since they have the Nintendo license I wonder if they'll let them do 1/18th Samus, Link, etc
>>109308101:18 samasOoh I'd cum in my pants if they made super Metroid and fusion samas!! Newer versions of samas are too lanky and thin, her portrayal in super felt like she was in POWER armor!Ocarina of time link, Zelda, and ganon, plz.
>>10930827shame 90% of their output is mario variants.
>>10930030 Nice, just realized I got my invoice too.
speaking of mercs, Joytoy just announced some in their cheaper, more basic range.
also some could-be mercs, better painted and slightly more expensive.
>>10931078Between JoyToy and Acid Rain, we're in a bit of a renaissance for old bearded white guy figures, which is honestly kinda funny.
>>10931078>cheaper JoyToyHow cheap we talking? Actually good for army building?
>>10931078>>10931080kinda meh designs and aren't really better than MGR's stuff.What's their price?
>>10929702Horse
>>10931755>>10931769Joytoy regularly sells army builder figures for less then $20 a pop. BBTS seems to have em at $19 each, so you might find em a bit cheaper on Chinese shops. Certainly worth it as these army builders always make great generics for cooler figures to pick on. >>10931725This is probably the best looking Bob they've put out to date. Getting some heavy TG Cid energy with his hood up. Shame the AR guys are so pricey per pop, it makes it so hard to army build all the cool squads they put out.
>>10931937>$19too expensive given their history of brittle plastics.even the warhammer thread has people complaining about the normal sized figures like the sisters and imperial guard breaking still.
I was drunk and ordered a Helldiver from Morphonauts. Kinda regret it lol.>>10931769You can easily find some for around 20$ CAD shipped on aliexpress. Costs as much as Star Wars TVC.>>10931954Are you the same mook that keeps bitching about Joytoy and posted my broken Cadian figure like its happening to everyone? You should chill,all toylines have defective figures from Hasbro, Neca, Hot Toys heck even premium statues.
>>10932082>don't use my broken Joytoy figure as proof that Joytoy figures still break after nearly a decade of people posting their Joytoy figures breakingfine, here's one of the other fanboys talking about his nuns breaking and how common it is to find other people posting theirs breakingYou really can't downplay the quality of Joytoy's brittle plastics, because it's common to see it posted. Go look at the GI Joe thread or even this thread, and the only line that really matches it is Acid Rain.... 5 years later, because the plastic became brittle from aging poorly.btw, we have the same keyboard. I'll make sure to post it more frequently for my future photos, just so the insane fanboys from the other thread think you're me.
>>10932200also, we have a similar textured surface for our figures to stand on too!... but this is made of metal. Yours is just a cheapo folding plastic table or something?Also also, three of these Joytoy riot cops from the two sets that i bought broke.So 3 out of 10 (or was it 8? I forget) isn't that bad of a defect rate... right?Thankfully, Joytoy was considerate back then to actually include extra joint parts! They don't do that anymore, hence not trusting any of their normal sized figures anymore.
>>10932082holy shit I was looking for an articulated helldiver! This is awesome, just ordered one, thnak you so much!
>>10932211Yes, let's listen to the guy that bitches about joytoy nonstop, but still buys their products.Mental illness, everyone.
>>10932248Yes, people should listen to someone who buys just about every toy brand there is and would know the ins and outs for all of them, thus shitting on the worst, like Joytoy.Probably the only brand I haven't shat on that deserves it is Acid Rain, but that's because none of mine have crumbled apart (yet) and their fans have been honest about the quality of the old figures.I've only bought one of their new figures from when they switched plastics, but I think I'll wait a couple of years to buy more to see how they hold up.
>>10932260He agrees with my statement, but sees no issue with it.Mental illness, everyone.(Also, I wonder who he ripped that photo from?)
>>10932200sounds like he didn't give it a hot bath before trying to pull it part. I haven't had a JT breakage in a couple of years.
>>10932082>I was drunk and ordered a Helldiver from Morphonauts. Kinda regret it lol.How come?
>>10932200I've been collecting Joytoy when they just started with the 1/25 Not Titanfall mechs and sure I had a few items with bad QC issues but contacted my vendor for replacements and moved on. You act like a negative Nancy, post peoples bad experience without any context and go " HA HA look at how shit it is! You took my Cadian pic without mentioning that it was partly my fault for putting pressure. You just like to stir shit up whenever enjoys something you don't like. Just let people enjoy whatever they want. I worked at one of Canadas biggest online toy sellers when I was in college, you'd be surprised how many returns from the big toy brands we had to deal with because some neckbeard with fat figures mishandled the goods.>>10932753The figure is fine but when you factor in the shipping plus an unpainted 1/18 figure without a cape, you go " Fuck...79$ CAD for this? "
>>10933037>toys breaking is no deal!>It's just totally funny! hahaha!>it's totally my fault anyway!>you're just a negative nancy to dwell on a toyline that has a long history of QC problems that is ongoing to todaygo fuck yourself. No one likes their toys to break on them, even if they can get a replacement part (that is just as likely to break). Only reason i kept on buying Joytoy shit back then was because they came with extra parts, so i wouldn't have to wait 2-3 months for and because of shills who kept on saying they totally fixed the plastic issue.I've been into the line since it was shilled here, btw. BAck when it was only a 1/25 line. Guess what the attitude was back then?>They're prone to breaking, but i hope their newly announced 1:18 line will fix that issue just by the fact their toys will be much thicker.I'm glad I only bought their shit because of their vehicles back then.And sadly, it seems not even being 1:18 fixed the brittle plastic issue. The much thicker Space Marines finally seemed to be thick enough that the cheap plastic couldn't be an issue, but even then, it seems some people have theirs break.Doesnt seem to be prevalent though, unlike the normal sized nuns and imperial guard.
>>10933306man this hobby is not about buying toys and putting them on a shelf or whatever the fuck you think it is. If a toy breaks you fix it, or you kitbash it into something else. You can bitch on an imageboard about product quality but I think you know you're farting in the wind
>>10933436>>10933306also retard, you're the one overpaying for 1:18 scale figures, so you really shouldn't bitch. Most of this acid rain shit can be made pretty easily with simple materials. They sell a literal wagon for 80 dollars. If you're paying that upmark and then bitching, maybe there's something wrong with your purchasing habits
>>10933436holy fuck, are you pushing brittle toys as being common and expected? Do you only buy complete shit?>>10933439i have no problem buying anything for any amount of money, but fuck you if your shit breaks.I hate to break it to you, but there's very few toylines that are made of jolly rancher sugar like Joytoy figures are. If indie companies, like MGR and Gylos, can make durable toys, why can't a company making 100x more do better? And these indie companies aren't charging more to do it either.
>>10933490And yet, he STILL buys joytoy figures.Mental illness, everyone.
>>10931954I spent $30 on a BFS figure that broke right out of the packaging and had an anon respond saying the exact same thing happened to them >>10909765If you are seriously this whiny about figures that aren't even $20 I don't know why you even bother buying toys.
>>10933037>an unpainted 1/18 figure without a cape, you go " Fuck...79$ CAD for this? "Yea I see what you mean now. I was looking at their website after your post and I was thinking "what would be regrettable about a $16 figure"? Then I realized how their shit worked and that was the price for a 2.5" unassembled figure. I'd probably regret buying one too even though I really want some Helldivers to play with on my desk.
>>10932082>>10932240>>10932753>>10934271I'd love me a team of Helldivers too, but that one looks pretty jank. I'm curious how popular this game is in China or something because Joytoy would probably knock this line out of the park. Though Hiya would probably be better due to them being able to make the bugs as well. Though who ever makes them, they'd need at least two things or else the whole line would be a massive failure.1) Wired Capes2) They're packed in reusable Hellpods.
>>10934430Is hiya even good? I got the predator from their initial launch, and haven't touched the line since the predator was kinda disappointing overall. It looks good, but articulation wasn't even 90° joints, and it felt kinda brittle, like a neca figure.
>>10934430JoyToy makes sense since they practically already make similar looking figures as it is.>>10934492I have a couple of their recent G.I. Joes and they are fine. I do treat them more like how I treat other imports and not like a Hasbro toy though.
>>10933923>it's okay for something that's $20 to break on youwhat's wrong with you idiots?Even if it fucking cost $2 (fucking kinderegg-quality territory) and that shit broke on me, that's still trash and i would not recommend it to others. Neverfuckingmind we're talking about toys where 99% of toys don't randomly break. So a ton of companies are already producing sub-$10 that aren't trash.There's no excuse as to why Joytoy stuff should break at a 20% rate.
>>10934686you sound deeply unhinged, dude. If a figure breaks email the company or the shop you bought it from get it replaced, it's literally that easy. Going on an autistic rant over a dirt cheap toy is deranged, especially when you're going around stealing other people's images to try and make your point.>There's no excuse as to why Joytoy stuff should break at a 20% rate.lol, where'd you pull that number from?
>>10934738>it's unhinged shit on a brand that breaksfuck off, retardThere's a dozen or so other 1:18 lines that you don't have to treat like they're made of hard sugar. Not sure why you need to defend this brand so hard.
>>10934492Honestly, I wouldn't know because I don't actually own any Hiya figures. Only thing of theirs I bought was that monster Aliens APC, which I haven't even gotten out of the box. But their newest Joe stuff looks great, like mini-Classified figures. I haven't bothered with em though since I have pretty much all the 1:18 Joes I need from the ME stuff. >>10934673I think Joytoy would probably be best too since they have no problems doing entire squads in one go, and a lone Helldiver just wouldn't cut it. With all the cool guns and armor....and capes....in that game, just getting a single release would be leaving money on the table. Pump out groups of em with different guns, helms and capes, for Democracy!
>>10934756It's unhinged shit to actively buy a line that you actively hate.Mental illness, everyone.
>>10934492I don't have any of there 1/18 figures, but their Godzilla stuff has been mostly pretty good. Really not a fan of their Skull Crawler and its use of soft plastic for the cheeks which are already tearing for a lot of people, but other than that their figures have been solid.
>>10934890Who said i hate it?I like toys, Joytoy makes some cool shit, but they have a long history of the plastics being brittle (and shit paints).I'm just warning people, so that they don't fall for idiots like you who claim the Joytoy's figures aren't breaking anymore and that you should expect $20 figures to break on you.Just following their toylines in these threads or youtube, and you'll constantly find people breaking shit. Usually it's not the bigger figures like the Space Marines and vehicles/mechs, but some people aren't having luck with those...
Fox Forge Toys is running their Kickstarter for their Galactic Valor line currently. It's 1/12 but they say they are currently working on a 1/18 version. I really hope they can do that scale soon because I really like the designs and I'm hurting for some alien figures I can throw into with TVC and other sci-fi lines.
>>10936087The figures look kinda wonky, which i guess works for aliens. But I hope they do get them in 1:18 as I'd probably enjoy them more for the mix and matching with other lines as well.
>>10935427Your incessant whining, your paranoia that everyone is a Chinese shill paid by the CIA in burger king coupons, your vast collection of pics of broken figures, your insistence that nobody should buy any of their stuff, your hyperbole of QC issues, such as a hairs worth of plastic sticking out of a joint... The list goes on, subby.Your not warning people, your on a pathetic one man online crusade.I never said joytoy doesn't break, so nice strawman.Mentally illness.
>>10936221>I never said joytoy doesn't break, so nice strawman.Lrn gooder english, retardI'm being general, hence plural form of "idiot" and "and", where idiots liek yourself saying that it's okay for toys to break, like it's common and expected.Again, there's hundreds of toylines that /toy/ talks about and 99% of them don't brea like Joytoy figures do, which makes their joints feel like they're made of hard sugar candy.This board doesn't need people like you, coming up with the shittiest of excuses, to defend poorly made toys.Why even do this shit if you're not a shill? There is no justification for trying to mislead people so desperately.
>>10936221literally, just ignore him. There's no reason to give him (you)s he's not going to change. He does this same song and dance in the Warhammer general,
>>10936376>he should change his mind that toys that cost $20 breakseriously, what's wrong with you?Where do you even live where everything is so shit that you expect your shit to break?
Shut the fuck up and post toys
>>10936346"I never said that joytoy doesn't break, so nice strawman.">Hurr durr u no speak gud!>Proceeds to make actual grammatical errors.>Never actually refutes my points.>Continues to rant about insane stuff.>Pic has nothing to do with what he or I are saying.>"There is no justification for trying to mislead people so desperately."Mental illness, everyone.
>>10936455>third worlder still trying his hardest to defend Joytoy because someone doesn't recommend their toys made of brittle plastic that continue breakingyou can't stop, because every post gets you $$$, right?You should thank me for feeding you.
I literally can't find Walmart exclusives for Transformers and Masters of the Universe in my small ass Canadian town but I cant find them online either. I wanted a Streets of Rage figure for song this is bullshit. Does anyone have any suggestion on an oine store that will have these? (American or wherever doesn't matter.) I never collected anything from Jakks before so maybe it's not as bad?
>>10936467"Who said i hate it?">Thinks actual shills are on 4chanMental illness, everyone.
I can't complain about an altered beast fig but I hope this isn't a one off where we never end up getting a blaze figure.
>>10936467you have to go out of your way to insult people in another country when that has actually nothing to do with what you're bitching about? Because you're a scribb-nibblet and i did bone ur mom last nite
>>10936476Walmarts in many regions of the US also don't stock shit. Welcome to the club. Buy secondhand like the rest of the world who can't find stuff in stores. Walmart exclusive means walmart exclusive, so no, other websites will not carry these.

>>10938905
Picked up the guy with the rocket launcher on ebay. His proportions seem off compared to the newer ARW figures I've purchased
>>10940217He looks like shit. I'm genuinely puzzled why Acid Rain is so popular and so expensive.
>>10940974>so populartacticool asthetic that doesn't look like antiquated 5pow GI Joes>so expensiveused to be because it was made by hand by literally one guy in Taiwan. That's not the case anymore which makes the fact that they are still expensive annoying, but is mostly made up for by the increase in quality of articulation and sculpt.
We won't go quietly, the Legion can count on that.
>>10942059What figure is the trooper?
>>10939396I dig it!
>>10942059This guy comes with a lot of stuff that you can do some Fallout customs. I am planning to use the coat as NCR Ranger, the helmet for a regular solider and the rest for a raider
>>10942505
>>10942507>black jointsSo THIS is the power of Joytoy
>>10942505Brilliant idea dude, he even comes with a wolf head for Vuples the Legion femboy furry!
>>10942418 It's honestly one of the weakest looking monster dudes. - but I got it as I could not find my ice spider. I really like the big rock dude.
Finally caught that Aquaman 4-pack on clearance at Target for $9! I was only wanting in it for these two as some interesting backgrounders for TVC, so it was a pretty good deal. The shark guy only has articulation in his arms and legs and his hips are kinda shitty. They look like they'd be ball joints like the others but they're basically just swivels and can only go forward like 15 degrees. I wish his tail had a bendy wire but overall he looks pretty cool. I like the diver's overall look too, even if the head in the helmet seems a tad small but I like the effect of the orange visor. Both have some decent paint apps too for the little that they have.
I wish Microman came back. Anyone collect these guys?
>>10943294 I got one in the 70's. Still have him although one of his hands is fucked at the wrist.
>>10943227Wait, the hips are HOW bad? Pic of their range, plz?
New PGV girls up on Ali: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005191270774.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.9.888bf19cMgj4LL
>>10943338Hopefully this suffices. As you can see they don't move forward very far and a lot of what looks like is the hip lifting the leg is actually the knee joint just hyperextending forward. The left hip on mine can't even move without immediately returning back to position so it's pretty much useless. I was thinking maybe mine was just shitty but I watched a review and he pointed out the same thing about the range, that it basically has like a single click forward in the ratchet and that's it. Except both of his could move forward although he couldn't use the thigh swivels and I can on mine. QC doesn't seem to be very strong but that's alright, I wasn't expecting 10/10 toys from this stuff, I just picked them up for aesthetics.
>>10943960Damn, that's terrible! Welp, this is why I got into customizing, but thanks for the clarification, I'll definitely be waiting for a deep discount.
>>10944330Yea definitely do. I absolutely would have been pissed if I paid the retail price for it but for $9 it's kinda whatever, even if I just wanted two of the figures in the set. I gave the Aquaman and Black Manta to my wife's coworker to give to her son so at least they will be enjoyed.
>>10943927.....grabbed two last night. Still awful prices for these girls, but far better then aftermarket or domestic sites prices.
>>10932082>>10932240Put in a order for hell diver too but been a week with no update to the tracking and no response to my emails.
>>10945248Do they just make that one type or do they have different armor/gun options. Cause if I could get me a Light Gunner Diver with an Autocannon and a Sickle, I'd totally be down for that. Though nowadays I usually run the Dominator/Quasar for those sweet sweet Dropship takedowns.
Any pic of that Axel next to a 1/12 fig? I wanna see if it would work
Dinosaurs?
>>10943184Requesting the name of that 1/18. Thanks in advance.
Is there any options for curvy/thicker 1:18 woman?

>>10946786
This round of army builders is really cool.
>>10945136I find the price reasonable, you get a lot of accessories, lots of value there.
>>10946559Just say 'fat'.
>>10948750Curvy and thicker is not the same as fat. Curvy could mean really wide hips, for one, and thicker is self explanatory; thicker than what is commonly seen. Muscle bound could qualify as thick, and be the opposite of fat. Curvy usually refers to an hourglass shape, whereas fat is usually a circle.Sonico is a good example of curvy, with a little thickness, but is far from fat.
>>10946559
>>10948805When are these supposed to come out?
>>10948805>>10948855i'll be monitoring as well, these blow boss fight out of the water. This is really cool for the scale, could really bring some life into this scene if we could get some blanks of this quality. Butterfly shoulders, proper ball articulation and cute faces. really cool stuff
>>10928541cool pic
>>10948805>>10948855>>10949110Assuming the females stay the same size it will make the current male figures look like midges. It would make more sense to downsize the new wave of females and keep the males at 4". The current females would then be 6 foot Amazons.
