>>8723512>other toys that look well with the cartoony aesthetic?I actually love the cartoony aesthetic and would love to see some discussion of them out on /toy/, but it's pretty hard to get a conversation going since it seems like there's only about three of us into it. Even worse, Disney Toybox is really uninterested in keeping a checklist up someplace online, and none of the toy sites seem interested in that either. I'll still try and tell you about all the cartoony aesthetic lines I've been able to track down. Here's a sample pack of my cartoony figures.
The Man-Bat is from the new 5 poa line of batman toys (forget the line name). I didn't realize how short he was until I got him home, might be better suited to terrorizing my future 3 3/4 figures.
The Finn is from the Galaxy of Adventures star wars line. It's a solid line, great articulation and a solid cartoon look, but they seem to be sticking to humans and stormtroopers so I don't know if we'll get any fun toys out of this line, namely colourful monsters and aliens that look good in the animated style and wouldn't work in a "realistic" style. Also, this particular toy has a quick draw action feature that effectively makes his right arm unusable. But hey, it's a decent generic human even if one arm is effectively in a sling.
Donatello is from the 2012 TMNT line. He's really solid - the line clearly put all their money into the articulation and sculpt of the four turtles and then skimped out on everything else. So while the four turtles are all separate heights and molds, the bad guys are barely 5 poa figures, which is a shame.
Super Dinosaur is from a line of the same name. He's a deluxe and he was pretty cheap. He's awesomely huge and "scales" properly - that's about how big a cartoon dinosaur should be to a cartoon human, so I like him. The major downside is he's basically 5 poa - his arms are made of two different pieces of plastic and look like he should have elbow joints, but he doesn't.
