The weathering (of which there isn't much and it's inconsistent) is just thrown on there to distract you from the fact that it's a $50 "Megafig" that's barely bigger than their normal figures, and has next to no paint. It's an embarrassment when you consider gloriously huge and paint slathered figures they released just a few years ago, like Violator.

>>10972700
Relative to what? The line scales extremely well, you can get into it at nearly any price point. Yes, there are super complex figures for like $60 each, but basic Intercessors have gone for as cheap as $16-17 shipped. That's like $10 less than a Marvel Legends, and it includes shipping.

Learn to use Ali, learn to stack coupons and coins and wait for events, and you will soon be getting some good deals. Even checking in daily nets you like 20-40 coints (cents), with bonuses for repeated daily checkins. They don't let you use all your coins at once, only a small percentage, but it's still free money, and it's nice to get a little knocked off the top. Oh, and compare prices for your item from every major JoyToy store on Ali before purchasing, and then you can pick the cheapest one, or the one that offers the most store perks.

>>10972767
Alternatively, get into the ecosystem at Gundamit/ShowZ. Every thanksgiving they sell memberships for like $5 ($10 normally), which is the cheapest way to get in. With a paid membership, you get 3x the points, and if you buy your stuff from there, they add up quick. You can also get points there for commenting.

>>10972476
Like, every review of the latest wave has said (and shown) that the figures are more shells, and less solid bricks of plastic like they were before, and the torso joint is REALLY flimsy.
Also, they gave them some weathering? They also raised prices by quite the margin (+50%), so not much of an improvement...

>>10972696
I can't see them ignoring basic infantry, no way!

>>10972700
Bruh, you can get intercessors for like $17, that's cheaper than a marvel legends or star wars black series. Even the schizo that tells you not to buy the line, buys the line.

There's a big difference between a scaly monster and a figure with a lot of smooth armor everywhere.
Of course they can slather on the washes on the monster to show off the detail. Cheap and fast.
The Terminator gets washes on its skull emblems and that's about it. The armor doesn't hold washes well and can get pretty ugly fast, ala gundam marker panel lining. This is why they instead used sponging on the feet and legs.

>>10972767
Other 1:18 lines offer bigger figures for the same price Joytoy charges for 4.3" figures. Better quality too and also include working electronics. The Robocop 2 robot in this picture was less than $50 and also features a bunch of extra limbs, moving fingers, etc. Stands up to 7" tall.
Hiya is a Chinese company, same as Joytoy, yet also uses more durable plastics. Their toys don't feel Chinese.

>>10972443
Does anyone here have experience with those Figma capes that came out a year or two ago? I have a problem with it staining one of my figures and this general is probably more active so if anyone can help I'd appreciate it: >>10972627

>>10972665
Basically all modern figma cloth goods stain figures and the only way to prevent it is to put a protective plastic sheet between the figure and the cloth.

>>10972686
>friend got me saber maid alter from Ax years ago ahead of time
>bought the bike in anticipation
>put her on the bike and decided to change pose
>the fucking bike already stained her skin
More like figma colorings just stain if any other colors even make contact with it.

>>10972686
Wrong, there's a second way to prevent it: Throwing the piece of shit capes away.
My problem is I missed the prevention stage and now I don't know how to fix the problem. How do they get away with selling this shit if it's a known issue?

>>10972771
If no one here can help me does anyone know a good thread to ask in?

Ed Edd n Eddy is my favorite anime
Give me super articulated Figma grade Plank

Any pilot from a mecha anime.

They need to stop making figures of characters that only people who don't buy toys like.

>>10972760
>>10972765
It's still pretty sad. What if there's like 3 people in the world who wouldn't mind it, or maybe a community who could use it for custom fodder? I guess the last hope is that it circulates enough through swap meet/donation bins that someone would find it

>>10972765

So fucking cool. Devastator is really out of left field, was really expecting Menasor or even Bruticus first. The forearms look like they partsform and the feet are built in which is the Inverse of Superion. Was never a fan of screaming Devy faces but maybe it'll look better in color. And on that note what do you think the colors will be? Chrome green and purple? Bayverse/Diaclone individual colors? Will it be weathered for the realism angle or clean to show off the metallic parts?

>>10972359
I've debated on buying out all the stock they have on the pegs, waiting until they restock, and then returning all my shit after or to a different store. Just don't have the time to do that anymore though.

>>10972363
One time I did that for a Walmart exclusive set of toys the day they released (not to scalp, it was blind bag unfortunately). No other Walmarts around me got it except that one. The next time I visited it, and I swear I'm not lying, they restocked that same item 5 times at only that Walmart. It was insane, like the entire shelf in that area was overflowed with them. It was like the algorithm went
>oh that is popular at that one Walmart? THEN SEND ALL THE STOCK TO ONLY THAT WALMART PRONTO!!!!!
Just another mystery in the Walmart exclusive wheel. Got to love it.

>>10972359
You know they think the same thing about some over weight drooling fuck wit stomping their feet about something. Stop looking down your nose at people, get off of your holy high horse and be a normal fucking faggot that shops at walmart.

Wait, you guys don't use adblock?

>>10972406
Would clicking it potentially speed up how long his ad shows up? I’m seriously tired of seeing it already.

>>10972534
I'd almost bet money that it would. Just keep clicking, ideally with as many IPs as you can, and it should make the ad expire.

It's 2024. How are you not using an ad blocker by now?

He pretended to be an underaged girl to catfish people for free toys. Basically stole a 14yo girl's online identity and corresponded with her friends to keep up the facade. His wife left him around the time this became known, so it was possibly a reason for her leaving him. It was mentioned in one of the recent Scott threads.

honestly I had to think long about this and it still seems pretty niche, but I have some ideas, I tried to include something for most of the characters
1. Principal Nezu - would mostly be static, maybe some basic arm articulation could come with cup of tea and maybe a swap out head
2. Swap out Aizawa missing leg- happens during his fight with Shigaraki so it makes sense
3. Endeavor unpowered face - I tried to avoid swap out heads/faces but this seems like something that should have been with the original figure
4. Hawk’s endeavor doll - could be a cute accessory for hawks to hold
5. Deku crying face - I mean it’s Deku and it’d be pretty memeworthy
6. Bakugo’s best Jeanist swap out haircut - again, another funny moment and would work well if we eventually get best Jeanist
7. All might action figure or doll - would work well with deku
8. Swap out battle damaged arms for all might - this is part of his pose after he beats all for one and is an iconic moment, could come with battle damaged head as well
Again, this would probably never happen and probably wouldn’t sell well but I was bored and I’m probably forgetting things that would work as better accessories but oh well

AY superheroes especially the women figures are going for that anime proportions. That's evidentially clear from the fake Shunya style sculpts. Not the crazy idealized reality proportions of comics and thus their figures like Multiverse and ML. So it's kinda dumb to compare them. Catwoman's head size is a step in the right direction as she looks like the same scale as the male AY. Just compare her to the tiny head like WW.

>>10972742
Hmm sounds like cope. Females shouldn't have the same head size as the males. They gave her a fat-faced, oversized head.

>>10972772
>Females shouldn't have the same head size as the males
"...on average, adult males have a head size that is 2% larger in volume compared to adult females"
Is what I've found. 2 % is unnoticeable at 6 inch size figures. They did the right thing they were way too small before. Now should she have a wider torso? Then yes but again this is more of an anime proportions problem.

Might make decent action figures, I would hope the plastics they use are better than the soft shit Hasbro used at the very least. Zords I have no idea how they'd fair, but they did do Legendary Defender Voltron.

Not breached 30 yet but I also live with my parents. Make normal money but they don't change rent, I just give them some if the need it. I spend like 80% of my wage on dumb shit, but I keep like 6 months worth of my pay in savings. I need to curb the spending though, looking to move out at some point and find a roasty of my own or something.

>>10972564
it's over before it began anon

work full time retail but i live at home so i dont need to pay rent. Car is already paid off too so basically my only bill is my phone bill and i pay half for my car insurance.
everything else i make from work i just save up or just spend it on shit i dont need like toys. but im not even that big of a collector in the first place but because of how much i have saved up, it does allow me to purchase some expensive toy every now and then.
