This isn't a toy exactly but it's one of the coolest things I ever saw, and I feel like everyone here would appreciate it. This guy built a perfect miniature replica of Howl's Moving Castle, mostly out of recycled plastic packaging. When I say miniature, it comes out roughly the size of a dog. Incredible skill and ingenuity at work! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDQ-sDDqWvk

I’m incredibly tempted by that Hiya Toys 1/18 scale Robocop 2 Cain. I’ve always loved that design, and it’s not $1200 like the last one.

1/18? That seems like a strange scale. Is it a common one? I'm used to things being 1/6, 1/12, 1/20 & 1/24

https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1429799169825312773 Should we do the OG Street Sharks that haven't been made in like 25 years? Nah, do ones we never made, and charge $75 each for them.

Those Acid Rain and similar lines are all 1/18 too. Hiya also does injustice in 1/18. it's like 90s GI Joe (with the rubberband crotches) in size.

I find it interesting that these are painted akin to the sofubi figs we've seen in the thread recently. I remember the old figs being painted fairly differently.

Are these real, real early prototypes or will they just not have more than the 5 POA that the old figures had?

The Streetshark figures have an odd shimmer that reminds me of the old Playmantes toon figures.

^^^I like the chibish stuff like Nendoroids and Egg Attack, but the straight baby stuff is...not for me. So I am falling down a sofubi rabbit hole. I assume it doesn't have it's own thread? Gatos, do you have any resources for making your own you could point me to?

Tim Whatley posted:https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/status/1429799169825312773 Yeah, I was hoping for something more akin to what they did with MOTU and Origins, or perhaps redesigned and modernized figures. Those would have been instant buys for me. These are neat and all, but I'm not THAT huge of a fan to pay $75 a pop for these that are effectively a continuation of the previous line.

The only route I can point you to making your own is getting in contact with Mile High Sofubi in Denver. Getting to work with a company in Japan is very much the route of introductions and making connections in a long roundabout manner that involves building relationships over time. I know that there are Chinese manufacturers as well but I don't know anything about them. And yeah I just came to this thread because there is no sofubi one. Maybe I should make one? It wouldn't really fit in BSS though I think. Honestly I'm not sure where it would go. Also: footage of the SH Monsterarts Godzilla Ultima prototype from a recent toy show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZfgv1IsJsE

It went from something I knew nothing about to instagram follows and wanting to try my own hand at it. Shoehorn it into BSS with :https://news.toyark.com/2014/01/23/medicom-reveals-sofubi-vinyl-dc-comics-figures-112043 haha. The cigar thread is in Ask / Tell...

Medicom has also made Marvel and Star Wars sofubi in that style as well. The only one I really wanted was the Boba Fett haha edit: it would be nice to have a Collector's subforum. GATOS Y VATOS fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Aug 23, 2021 |

I made a post in QCS requesting a Collector's Subforum here. If people could chime in with support for the idea it might lead to good things.

Rad idea, posted in the QCS thread too. Only thing I'd be sad about is having everybody disperse into their own separate threads in the forum and in turn it could get lonely.

Yeah, tbh I kinda prefer just having the one big thread because there’s a lot of stuff people post in here that I’d never even be aware of if I just stuck to threads specifically about what I already collect.

Oh for sure, but at the same time I don't think that having a subforum would make this thread go away. I think it would allow for people to get more granular about things but I don't think I'd stop posting here either (I only happen to stumble upon it in April).
