I know this board is sort of dead and I don't know if anyone else collects non /jp/ toys, but /toy/ is back up and I invite anyone here who collects other toys to come and join us. Hope some of you guys make it.
Yeah thanks for trying to suck out what little life this place has.
>>3768 You misread my post or didn't read it at all. I was saying that anyone that wants to talk about Western toys and the like (which isn't allowed here) could come join. I know there are some people that collect both Western and Eastern toys, so I was putting it out there.
>Didn't post a link Yeah, I think I'm retarded. https://prolikewoah.com/toy/
Since there doesn't seem to be one per say exactly. how about a thread just for general photos of figs? bonus points if you took the pic yourself.
This will be a doll thread, post your dolls, different outfits you might have etc. I'm thinking of buying this next. http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=FIG-DOL-2743&template=default/product/e_display.html
>>3746 >>3747 There's something adorably dorky about her.
>>3746 >>3747 That's adorable! I wish I had the courage to bring my girl out like that but it's difficult to do without attracting undue attention.
>>3758 That's adorable. I wonder if someone really took their doll to an amusement park.
Might as well make a figma thread. I'm about to get this figma (within two-three months, probably). It's still in 'preorder' because I preordered something else along with it.
>>3679 >>3680 >>3681 Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
They've been making figma boxes is a fairly uniform size for the past ten years or so, with hundreds of figs in two main sizes (save for special cases). Now They've decided to start making the boxes smaller, likely to save money/space in shipping. They're both thinner and shorter than the standard box, but just as thick. I have to say, I found this a bit annoying.
>>3689 >They made an Ein figma Ah fuck, when did they make her? Now that I've seen she exists, I've GT t add her to my collection
>>3740 That was years and years ago, back when they still had interest in making figma based on anime characters who aren't from super main stream series.
Suppose you could bring your figures and toys to life, at the cost of them becoming murderous monsters. would you?
No. Stupid fucking thread from a bumbling retard OP.
>>2472 Provided they don't harm me, fuck yeah. Who wouldn't want an army of toys at their command?
I would, only if they had the same powers and special abilities specified in their characters. I would not want my Flandre figure coming to life only to be mowed down in a hail of bullets.
Like TOY STORY? Testing >>/an/33187
What do you guy think about netsuke? I've wanted to collect some for a while, but they're pretty out of my price range. Trying to get an ivory figurine into the country is also pretty dicey. I like how they're made out of expensive shit, intricate, and individually crafted by artists. Netuke actually served a function in the past, but that's largely obsolete now, so I guess they can just be considered a style of figurine. Contemporary ones have been made, but movie kaiju are the only pop culture figures anybody has based them off of, as far as I know.
I didn't know there were modern ones. Where would you find these?
>>3713 https://www.netsuke.com/netsuke/contemporary/ https://www.netsuke.org/contemporaryartists It doesn't surprise me. As long as some people have an interest in something, there'll be a few who still make them. Same for medieval swords. At least a few of these guys sell, but they're all fairly conservative. I haven't seen anyone carving individual figures of characters from wood.
OK, so, we'll dedicate this thread to all the stuff coming out. Figures and goods that are being announced, things we plan to buy, or things we just plan to drool over. Preorders just went up for an extremely sexy Motoko Kusanagi by Kaitendo. Scheduled for a late-July release and sculpted by Tsuyoshi Takahashi, this is an extremely Masamune-faithful rendition... and I will not be able to afford her, sirs.
Nice to see new Galaxy Angel merchandise.
11,600JPY ? Really?
>>3709 Neptune is for rich hasubandos.
Ques Q is releasing a Clara. Quite odd as they haven't released a Katyusha or even a Nonna yet.
They do them every once in a while, asking for input on a special character release or re-release. In fact, here's one right now, until May 10th. Make sure to vote for your waifu. http://special.goodsmile.info/nendoroid_survey/en/
I really wish they would make more Nendoriod petites and Nendoroid plushies.
>>3698 Yeah those were nice.
What weeb junk have you guys acquired recently besides than figures?
Fumos, GuP tank figures, a Last Exile Fam the Silver wing model kit and I ordered a body-chan but that is technically a figure I guess.
Does anyone have towel merch? I ordered a random pack of merch and got this, but don't know how or where to display this. I'm afraid to use her like a normal towel because then I'll fuck it up with my gross human wetness and junk. Been thinking of hammering some nails and then putting paper clips up to hang her but that feels ghetto.
>>3692 I have two with my waifu on them. I simply hung them up like wall scrolls.
>>3692 >>3693 I am curious as well, for something like this or a daki cover being hung up for display, how have you gone about actually hanging them up? What about enclosing them inside of something to prevent them from getting dirty?

>>3662 This looks pretty cool. I wonder how long the gloss finish would hold out before scratches start being noticeable.
>>3663 Indeed: many of these are meant for collecting purposes, not to be solved again and again. I just solved it once (pretty easy) and that's about it.

>>3589 Very nice work on the road. It looks better than it would look with actual Lego pieces.
>>3589 That is pretty neat, Tohno. I commend your dedication and attention to dettail.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the old Exo-Force theme from 2006, considering it was based off mecha manga. >Manga Lego characters >Cool mechs >Online manga comics This theme had everything
>>3668 Oh and it even had these badass robots hellbent on enslaving the human race. Link to the comics for anyone that's interested: http://exo-force.wikia.com/wiki/Online_Comics
