CHUG Transformers. They're a ton of fun, relatively cheap, and most st importantly giant robots

Third Party TFs, Riobots, and marvel Revos have all caught my eye, but are either too expensive or I just don't care for the franchise

I don't get the hype for modern Gunpla. Designs nowadays are super generic and they've lost what made Gundam designs in the 70's-90's golden age so appealing. I guess the Origin stuff is OK, but those are usually rehashed old designs anyway

Here's a doodle I did of my current favorite TF, Sky Shadow

MOTUC.

>What line of toys are you interested in/do you check out online that you do not collect?
Robot Damashii A.N.I.M.E. (though I do have some RD) They seem like a lot of bang-for-your-buck and well made.

>What line of toys do you not understand the interest in at all? (no bullying just discussing pls)
Modern comic movie figures in general. It's an industry propped up by pushing what are essentially variants non-stop. There's no such things as "iconic" with them, it's just a constant deluge of stop-gaps that will only satisfy you until the next new movie comes out and makes your previous release obsolete.

I keep tabs on Figuarts, Marvel Legends and 1:18th but don't buy a whole lot.
>What line of toys do you not understand the interest in at all?
Funko pops. A cutesy version of your favorite character? Sure why not? But how is a sustainable business model?

HotToys Marvel figures, Gunpla, Amour girls project figures.

All funko shit, all girls dolls, most hasbro toys (except transformers) most "statues" (Except Statue Legend, because of the whole S.A.S JoJo thing, there are characters in that line that NEED to get the S.A.S treatment.)

BJD. I'd never own one, but they're gorgeous to look at.

Hard to pick one. Lately I've been picking Marvel Legends the most, I love the Table Museum Figma figures and I just jumped into Mythic Legions ordering around ten of them.
>What line of toys are you interested in/do you check out online that you do not collect?
1/18 scale. I used to collect Joes in the nineties, but I stopped when they fell into obscurity (no internet and all...). Now it is a scale that I see as very fun, and I'd love to buy new Joes and Boss Fights but I feel they are quite expensive for their size and you'd need to buy quite a few of them to have a functional display with these smaller figures.
>What line of toys do you not understand the interest in at all? (no bullying just discussing pls)
I can be very understanding, to be honest.

Gunpla (I bought two kits, just not started yet), Nendoroid (mostly cost keeping me back from trying one)

>What line(s) of toys do you not understand the interest in at all?
Those really big 5 POA figures you see in stores, and a lot of Star Wars stuff. I get some Star Wars stuff like vehicles, lightsabers, and figures, but it's over-saturated right now where there are now 5 different figures of Rey shelfwarming at stores in various scales and quality. Just stop it Hasbro, just stop.

Transformers. Grew up in the 80's and 90's, so that explains why. Of course, this header of "Transformers" extends to both official and 3P stuff, so it's a huge swath of stuff. If I had to pick some kind of subline beneath it all, I'd say either Iron Factory or MMC's offerings are consistently my favorites for 3P, and TR or CW for official.

>What line of toys are you interested in/do you check out online that you do not collect?

Random kawaii uguu figma girls, but I just can't swing the prices for these really generic animu girls from FoTM anime that instantly quadruple in price a month after release despite 99% of them looking the same as the ones before them. I'd buy on release, but I'm a poorfag and 3P shit don't come cheap.

And I guess ANIME Gundam line. I really like a lot of Gundam designs, but TF's eat most of my toy budget. Oh well.

>What line of toys do you not understand the interest in at all?

Two things. First, anything related to dolls. Mostly because all of the pics of them I see while scrolling through /toy/ look like some kind of nightmare made real, or look like a rainbow bukkake'd 100% faggotry all over it with all of the sparkles and rainbow colors and shit. They look hideous from a purely artistic standpoint.

Second would be FAG's, I think thats the line? Just because they look so thin and lanky and the screw holes in them are so obvious from the back.

SAS. I mean the Gyro and Tokyo Ghoul ones are shit, but most of them are nice.
>What line of toys are you interested in/do you check out online that you do not collect?
Transformers. I've tried collecting them a few times, but I'm mostly content to look at how cool they look and check out the occasional thread.
>What line of toys do you not understand the interest in at all?
I don't think there's any. There's stuff on /toy/ that's not my jam. Those fuckable looking robot things for example, but for pretty much everything I don't care for here, I can t least see the appeal to someone.

I don't collect Transformers but I check em out a lot even though I have one. Just felt necessary for a toy collection.

And fuck funko pop.

Hard to say right now, Ultraman Figuarts are pretty nice and Polynians are cute, but they're both and price points where unless they're used, it's pretty difficult to say they're worth it.

>What line(s) of toys are you interested in/do you check out online that you do not collect?
I've dipped my toe into the mecha musume model kit world a few times and I think they're neat and all, but goddamn does building model kits to equal the level of an average grown-up Jap toy suck. Painting in details, panel-lining, topcoating, it's all so much of a hassle. Model kits in general, really. I've spent easily into the four digits on gunpla kits in my life, but I never really built them in a way that satisfied me. There's always been a mental block of "do I really want to put a lot of extra money into paint, topcoat, an airbrush, etc into this hobby just to get a marginally better end result?" that just killed the enjoyment for me.

>What line(s) of toys do you not understand the interest in at all?
I don't get why people continually buy into toylines that have shown themselves to be shit, like Dragon Ball or Street Fighter Figuarts. I just find it hard to believe that the "better than nothing" mentality is so powerful that it can justify prices like that. I can't think of a single character from a property that I would be willing to spend $50 plus shipping on if the figure sucked.

Probably Figma since it's the only toy line that somehow keeps on growing. I use to collect Transformers but I stopped due to the whole Hasbro / Takara differences in their CHUG lines.As for the Figmas I got the Nanoha Figma line but still haven't completed it yet and was hoping for new ones because of the new movie. Right now it has some other groups that I don't if I'll ever get some of them like Fate /Stay Night, Cardcaptor Sakura, Madoka Magica, etc.

I always wanted to collect Soul of Chogokins but those things are way out of my reach. The closest I got to Chogokins are the Super Robot Chogokins which one of them got badly damaged and thankfully the other one is fine. Also wanted to collect Transformers 3Ps and like SOCs it's way out of my reach as well.

Two words: Funko Pop.

This is the only pic I can share since these 3 look so good together.

Old school TMNT.

>What line of toys are you interested in/do you check out online that you do not collect?
I really wanna get a few of those Grossery Gang figures, & I wouldn't mind having a little collection of kaiju vinyl- random monsters I like from Godzilla & Ultraman, etc. World Of Nintendo's Starfox cast & a few others interest me as well. Wouldn't mind some of the Articulated Icon ninja figures but they don't seem worth the asking price.

>What line of toys do you not understand the interest in at all? (no bullying just discussing pls)
Those 3A girl doll things that cost hella money & don't seem to be based on any particular franchise, I don't get it. The robot stuff is neat, though.
