/toy/ - Toys

I hope you're not intending to sell it as the original box.

>>831

I'm not a greedy a-hole. The buyer knows its a replica but he wants a high-quality cover and the only one I have is this one and one that is extremely old and a bit damaged.

Anyone? I'm still waiting you know…

>>1104

This board is basically dead and always has been. 4/toy/ never got cancerous enough to force an exodus to here.

>>1193

nowadays it has a little bit more cancerous but still not enough to come here.

>>1128

This is really sad. I guess that last one was the end of ht e line. Are you sure they are shifting the entire line or are they making this in addition? It is really odd for a line to change like this.

But also I think right now card games are very popular with young boys so maybe this is unsurprising. Just really sad.

>>1130

lame as fuck. guess that ends that

>>974

just in case theres this bandai site

http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/zista/zista/

it has some art and bios (in japanese) of all the robots from the toyline aswell as teh ones from the first wave of cards (which bombed hard it seems)

no news updates since december last year

Got any paint recommendations?

Tamiya, anything made for Warhammer miniatures, Japanese import paints made for Gundam… reference Jin Saotome's guides for proper paint recommendations.

Avoid these cheap Walmart paints, they won't stick, they go on thick even if you thin them, they're made for rednecks to smear on their pottery crafts. No real customizer with self-respect would ever touch them.

>>1164

So basically just model figure paints from a comic book store?

>>705

Damn I want the second statue. What the maker for that?

Shameless pervy otaku bait.

>blaming SJWs when it's specifically said to be a licensing issue

You are fucking stupid.

>>1169

>>blaming SJWs when it's specifically said to be a licensing issue

Not seeing that anywhere. who are you quoting? Also it happened again with the new #18 >>1166

Thanks, that's especially helpful since I can only handbrush for now.

Alright well I realise this thread is dead as fuck but thought I'd ask anyway; what are some beginners tips for painting gunpla?

I've managed to put them together alright but the idea of mixing/getting paint colours right seems overwhelming. Not to mention technique so it doesn't look like ass without investing in an airbrush.

Feel free to visit /m/'s gunpla threads. We get more activity there, so you can get help faster.

>>1115

The important thing all beginners avoid is sanding, when it's extremely important for painting, especially hand painting.

Sand, prime, paint. The sanding allows primer, and by proxy, paint to stick better. You also have to thin it well, or it'll look like chunky ass when brushed.

>>1120

Thanks man, appreciate it.

>>1116

feels kinda pretentious for what it is

>>996

I didn't get the amiibo. I would want to pose him. That just isn't enough for me.

>>1028

holy shit yes

How much did those set you back?

>>1047

I doubt McDonald's would let them license their dankest meme

>>1013

>It would be easier to wordfilter

How so?

Go look in the archives and tell me how you'd keep somebody like Greg or Peon from posting.

What words would you filter?

Drossel

3A

Space

Opera

Hasbro

Sucks

Kill

Fuck

Love

Like

Figure

Culture

Shit

Mock

Cool

Aswell

Troll

One

Guy

That's just a random selection of words from posts by Greg, Peon, and Andrew. Now you tell me how filtering any of them will stop the problem of their shitposting. All of those words are fairly common, and used by pretty much everyone. Filtering them does nothing but make it difficult for your average person to post.

Want to start a Drossel thread? Oops, too bad, word verboten, try again.

Want to post your latest grip about Hasbro and how the QC sucks? oh no. Can't use Hasbro or sucks. They're filtered.

However, your IP got banned because you were a shitposting ass? Hey, guess what. You don't get to post anymore!. You change it, or get a new one and start shitposting again? You get another ban. Which is fine. You'll eventually run out of IP addresses and you'll be shit out of luck.

You encourage the continued shitposting by doing it "ironically" or by "playing along" then you're just as bad as the person doing the original shitposting, and you get the same treatment.

And mods can tell who's who anyway. They actually see IP's. They know when somebody's resetting their router to evade a ban. They know where somebody is posting from.

New anon here. Will do my part to make /toy/ happen.

whats our demonym btw? /tg/ is fa/tg/uys. /co/ is /co/mrades, /k/ are streloc/k/s etc

>>1045

I've usually seen /toy/ soldier been used, but there's not too many words that has "toy" in them, even less that are actual nouns. it's a lot easier when you only have 1 or 2 letters to work with. there's toyon, a type of shrub on the Pacific Coast of the US. Actually, /toy/ons doesn't sound too bad.

Jin hasn't been seen that frequently anymore, although halfchan's janitor is his friend and issues harsh bans to anyone who even slightly insults him. I think Jin's gotten burned out, he's never been a good troll, he's lazy and bad at it, and everyone knows when he's doing shit because even anonymous he only talks about the same old shit. Even /pol/ hates his guts and he's practically one of them. That said, he is a legit racist and troublemaker that's been banned from many toy forums and he's got only one known friend. Fwoosh busted him buying his own customs on eBay- then there's the fact you never see people bragging about owning his stuff, HIGHLY suspect. That many buyers blowing big bucks on his stuff and zero collectors bragging to show off? Come on…

There's also the fact he filed Paypal claims against several BST sellers to get free stuff, then went on a pro-Nazi rant with his trip when people refused to do business with him.

Andrew/Tibbers is potentially a scammer, but it was never proven. TJOmega made up a deal with him hoping to get /toy/ sympathy because /toy/ hates him. It's mostly whiners crying when his name is mentioned because he triggered them.

Greg was innocent at first, morons just flipped out over his fingerless gloves because mootchan is sensitive. Then he went all CWC, kept making death threats, and was thrown in a mental hospital for physically assaulting his own mother, so he kind of ended up being human trash.

mootchan /toy/ is full of crybabies though that whine over nothing, enforcing the notion that adults who buy toys are big babies. In all honesty this board would be better off without 99% of them over here.

well for starters don't use garbage like pacific rim for an op post in a sticky

>>1049

Is that Snoop Yoda?

Please, share more of your wisdom oh wise puppet of bootleg glory.

>From a quick Glance at TFU it might be just what you need. Keep in mind it only looks at figures.

From what I've seen, so does Unicron. As for TFArchive, I've used it for downloading tech specs, but all they have are the ones from the Original Era and the Beast Era.

So if I want to account for G1 characters (like Arcee) who didn't get a toy of themselves until many years after their debut, I could just look at the disambiguation page category on the TFWiki. Though there are two cons I can think of. One is that some of those pages are either about concepts ('Til All Are One) or non-cybertronian characters. The other issue is that the disambig category doesn't account for characters with just two incarnations. But that could be remedied by process of elimination.

What do you think?

Alright, here's a question. We know the basic lineup of the Thirteen Primes in the Aligned continuity, but in the rest of the multiverse, the spots of Alpha Trion, Amalgamous Prime, Quintus Prime and Optimus Prime get filled out by Logos Prime, Solomus, Epitemus and the Last Autobot.

On one hand, I don’t like the idea of Optimus being a member of the Thirteen Primes like he is in the Aligned continuity. But on the other hand, I’d rather have Solomus and Epitemus stick with being part of the Guiding Hand as opposed to them having membership overlap between the two groups.

So my question for all of you is this. What would your ideal Thirteen Primes incarnation be like?

>>995

Fuck aligned.

> 3. The writers completely forgot about the two silhouettes in that comic panel and won’t plan on touching up upon that subject anytime soon.

Thats not entirely true since Hasbro likes to pull shenanigans.

If you go by IDW the order is Nova, Nominus, Sentinel, Zeta, and Optimus (Keep in mind these are all primes since the first civil war).Optimus though was actually chosen by the matrix. Nova was chosen by Alpha Trion who is the last of the original 13… Or at least the last active. The original 13 primes were killed or fled Cybertron during the first civil war.

> So can any of you anons who read the comics shed some light on the leaders of the Thirteen Tribes and the Prime lineage?

Thus far we know what you know. Nexus knew the enigma of combination, Onyx knew how to make headmasters.

You really want me to spoil the comics for you?

Thus far:

Onyx Prime fled after Galvatron (who is a scion of the fallen) killed Nexus Prime and Blackrock is actually some sorta part of Onyx Prime

This is all kinda jumbled but yeah…
