Seems Mattel's not doing to hot lately and a small group of shareholders owning 4% are interested in it being sold to either Hasbro or a private equity firm to try to push the stock to $30 or take it off the market completely.
>We know that Mattel and Hasbro have engaged in on-and-off talks for decades. At the moment, a deal between the two companies is possible in our view. Hasbro has done a better job executing on digital growth than Mattel and therefore has more credibility in this important part of the business. We believe synergies between the two companies would be material, creating a stronger player in a global industry.
Since it's such a small percentage of shareholders, I doubt it'll amount to anything, but with all the toy companies we've seen go under in recent years, it's interesting that even one of the most famous toy companies in the world is in danger nowadays. Hopefully their DC line will be a success.

What’s on the workbench, /toy/?

Sculpts, castings, 3D prints, dioramas, mods, kitbashes, and repaint are all welcome!

Post WIPs, finished projects, ideas, techniques, ask for advice, and most of all, have fun!

HELPFUL TIPS:

-Invest in a rotary tool such as a dremel for sanding/sculpting, especially a flexible extension tip.
-Pin vises for drilling holes can be found at hobby stores like Hobby Lobby and are great for making peg holes.
-For soft, flexible parts get Sugru silicone putty and Oyumaru
-Hardware epoxy putties such as Waterweld, KwikWood, and PlasticWeld are similar to milliput, greenstuff, and apoxie, can be cheaper some times, and can be found at local hardware stores such as Lowes, Ace, and Home Depot.
-Bootleg figures make great custom-fodder, especially if the legit figures are pricey.
-Body-chan/kun, Figma Archetype He/She, Romankey x Cowl, and Sozai-chan/kun, Notta Collection bodies are great base bodies for import-style human characters.
-For 3D models to use for editing, the following sites are good to bookmark:

>NEW TIP UPDATE:

-To loosen tight or stuck articulations in figures use Silicone Grease/Silicone Oil, it serves as lubricant without harming the figure unlike WD-40 or other solvent based lubricants, as it is meant for Treadmills and other such things

"Am I the only one left" edition. MidgeAnon here.

Discuss fashion dolls including Barbie, Disney, and whatever the fuck we have left. Other toys considered dolls as well as girl collectable toys I guess. Whoever posted this in the past has been gone for a long time, it seems.

Question of the day: what's your favorite doll?

Last time on Busou Shinki & Friends, >>11762260

She's fat! She's flat! She's a brat!

Kagutsuchi Fencer is here! Did you pick her up? What do you think? Do you like the new parts? Do her expressions fit her body type? Are you excited for the third Kagutsuchi sister in the (hopefully) near future?

Stay tuned for Shizuoka hobby show this weekend!
