>hear all these horror stories about NECA

>buy the red genocide xenomorph

>no joint stuck or warped parts

>more articulation than the revo and monsterarts xenos

>better sculpt and paintjob

Either I got extremely lucky or they have improved and most QC complaints are due to their lack of quality in older series/waves.

I got the Halo:CE Anniversary Chief. I liked the look and it's the only one with that design. But holy shit.

I mean there's 'articulation limited by sculpt' and then there's this. 28 points of articulation my ass.

>head up/down is a negligible amount

>barely moves at the shoulders

>elbows move ~45 degrees

>knees about 30 degrees

>clicky joints on ankle but knees are loose and floppy

>all joints hard to turn if they get flipped around the wrong way

>limbs don't seem to be removable

>why even have an ab crunch when it barely moves

>Halo 3 rifle

>holds the piece in front of the trigger with his thumb because no trigger finger

>have to force him to hold his gun because elbows can't bend

>tips over super easily

I mean holy shit all I can say is at least he looks cool.

Honestly, I'd argue that the Rhino wave has some worthwhile things in it too, but you're not wrong. I want to complete the Hulkbuster, but I can't. Most of the wave just sucks.

That's the name of the game, though. I don't mind most reuse since comic heroes usually do just have the same body with different paint jobs but sometimes it can be inexcusable.

The only waves worth completing are the Hobgoblin wave, as you said, and the Rhino wave in my opinion. Next year is looking better in concept but execution can make or break it.

Care to elaborate Anon?

You've piqued my interest.

>>959

Taking into account how far up it was, it didn't came out THAT bad.

It's good enough. Best to get them while you can still find them easily

> tfw never got generations Cyclonus

Was there ever an Ideon? I don't want one but it'd be cool to see.

I don't watch many super robots, but I do own Gaogaigar. It's a fucking amazing fig, and faithful to the show

>>325

>>321

It's true, that's part of the reason I'm here too. That's such a petty little bitch move that it was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I wasn't sure about leaving halfchan until I found out even mentioning 8chan is a bannable offense if you even manage to get it through.

As far as me, though,

21, Midwestern US, just getting started in the /toy/ world. Gonna get me some shinkis next.

>>232

OP, i would suggest to avoid posting shit like age country Occupation

i collect whatever catch my fancy

I am here cause its the freaking toy board

>>943

>in weapons development

>likes mecha

When is the military getting Gundam then?

Well Soldier, don't keep us in suspense

You have more leaks?

At most 4chan is only worth lurking these days.

Stuff on 4chan is being 404'ed for me left and right. Are they DMCAing everything or is this server shit?

Hiroshima Nagasaki is just dropping little boys on it

inb4 google it, already tried.

The only iron men that you'll find that fit your criteria are marvel select/legends. Foreign toy makers are only doing movie suits. However if your willing to spend $200 I would REALLY recommend sen-ti-nel's re:edit line, which has great articulation and sculpting along with led lights for his eyes and reactor. I can post shitty cellphone pictures if you want OP.

Sentinel Re:Edit

Sentinel Armorize

Can't promise you the former will be under $150, but well worth it nonetheless. Like a half-size Hot Toys figure, but based on the comic armours.

>no frames arms

WHERE IS SHE AMAZON

>>834

Does the heads included have blush on them too or just eyes?

>>876

Amazon cancelled my order. I ordered a new one from Hastings and got it yesterday.

I know this is months late, but I'll answer.

The other figs are super expensive because they're 1/6 iirc, also the show didn't get a lot of merchandise, so it goes up in price. 150 isn't that much for figures though nigga

The revoltech is shit and garbage, avoid that thing at all costs. Bad mold, articulation, and lots of pieces get stuck because of the shit paint.

I'm a sucker for transparent plastic

I just picked up 2 copies of each set today. One to keep MIB and the other to use for mocs/spare parts. I now have 5 pairs of the new shoulder piece and 6 of the new swords. It seems TLG is shelling out new molds just for the sake of spreading the new pieces, the last wave every set had at least 2 of the piston shells.

All I wish is as OP said more consistent color schemes. 2001 had some of the best looking figures because of the 2 base colors and 1 accent. Now all the ones in Gen2 have tons of gold, trans red and silver. They really need to add elements back, or do add Hershey Brown back and Bronze Gold. The gear boxes work fine, but the Skull Bashers punch function is horrible. I removed the rubber pipe for a quick fix.

The Mask Maker vs Skull Grinder is neato. I had to add longer legs to the MM and the big-ass tool on the SG was condensed to a smaller staff. TMoC has a very nice mold, but doesn't fit well on the skulls.

The Skull Scorpio(n) is hideous, I scrapped him after doing the initial build. It is a nice parts pack, which I think was the sets intended purpose.

Those are my thoughts on those select sets, but there are tons of reviews on BZP I know right and youtube. Hopefully the next wave is better, skeletons get generic fast, which is what happened here.

Hero Factory :)

Thanks mate!

From doing a google search of these websites, I have found that Otacute has closed down (the poor customer service may have been a factor to them losing customers), a new version of Rider Proxy is under construction, and the link to the Tokyo Hunter website displays a "server not found" page.

Alright anons, out of all these online retailers that sell Japanese action figures, which ones would you recommend the most?

01. AmiAmi

02. Hobby Link Japan

03. Hobbysearch

04. Mandarake

05. Gundam Planet

06. Jungle

07. Goodsmile Online Shop

08. Solaris Japan

09. Big in Japan

10. Figure Haven

11. Any other store that I didn't mention but you would recommend anyway.

>>911

Also, if a figure is sold out on any of these sites, do they remain permanently sold out? Or do they restock certain items once in a while?

>>912

really depends. usually, it means your fucked. but if they get one in, they will silently restock it. At least Amiami does. HLJ usually doesn't. Amiami also gets in used stuff, so its worth it to check every couple of weeks. But if you need it now, forget it. Head to evilbay or secondhand.

>>913

Does HobbySearch restock often?

>But if you need it now, forget it. Head to evilbay or secondhand.

I'm not in a rush to buy figures, so I can wait if I need to. I know Amazon has lots of figures, but they tend to be pricey. Which is fine by me, but it would take longer for me to save up some cash for them.

>>1180

Why is he so ridiculously blue?

don't wana be a jackass, but you should try oldchan /toy/ board for this

8chan /toy/ is kind off a ghost town

>>894

I actually did end up going there, and got some advice (though I don't think I can post multiple images at a time and the captcha shit got annoying after a few posts). I guess there isn't much here to post activity, unless old /toy/ suffers an exodus for some reason. Which seems unlikely, because how badly could anyone fuck up a toy board?

>>897

If they start pushing the SJW shit on 4chan much like they did on /v/, /pol/, and /co/ then we may see more traffic.

>>898

They already have started doing stuff like that, though very subtly. A few months ago there was a minor shitstorm over some women-like action figures and a mod deleted some posts that were in disfavor over them. No one really noticed, but it still happened.

>>891

I don't know much about the the brand of toys you have, but I think my advice apples to most action figures. Most of the toys seem to be in good condition, I would recommend cleaning them in warm water with half a teaspoon of dish soap (Don't do that for the ones with cloth!). For the ones that have pieces that need to be snapped on, do so and for the broken ones, just put them in a bin for now.

I would recommend to save the good looking ones, they probably won't sell for much and are most likely currently unobtainable for a fair price. For the fair ones, sell them on Ebay or at your local toy group or something. You can probably sell or trade them for some good stuff. The really messed up toys are most likely just worth pennies, so you can trash them if you want. You got a good lot, OP. At the very least they will make good shelf-fillers.

Sorry if the post is a little rambling, but I'd deeply appreciate help…

No, sell it broken with lots of pictures, but also say you think if it was repaired it would be invisible.

I think without the weapons It might chop the price on both of them in half. If you're getting your prices from ebay, keep in mind those are the ones that haven't sold. See if you can dig up ones that have to get a better idea of pricerange.

>>882

I figured selling it broken was best, and I'm planning on trying to find replacement weapons online. The prices I quoted are from Disney's Amazon account.
