Stoked af for those crab legs
We're these supposed to be model kits or full action figures? Cause that's going to bring the price point in or out of my range

Toy Notch has never made kits, just action figures, so probably the latter.

Pocket Titans. Still unsure if this is a knockoff or if Rihio actually sold the US rights to someone else.

If it is a knockoff, they would have had to act REAL fast, as these were shown not long after Rihio came into existence in the first place, and also Rihio is a Chinese company. It's not that Chinese original products never get KO'd, it's just always surprising to me when it happens. That's some cutthroat shit.

I'm not worried about that one, I have the OG and balance is good.

The ants, on the other hand I'm worried about (or would be if I wanted them). Carbe's balance is unreliable enough without those big meaty claws.

Wow I'm suprised. The flatter feet on Carbe looked like they provide a better balance. But then again his body is very wide and flat, so thinking again I can see how weight would be an issue

This is the third usage of that mold now, it's already been shown in forest green and grey.

It is a neat mold though, I like the thicc legs, long skinny arms, and how the radar dome appears to give it a hunchback.

Here's a new series I want to talk about, the brand is called Maruttoys. The designer (@MARUTTOYS_MIZ on Twitter) was is pretty young and was directly inspired by the guy who designed the Mechatro WeGo. He's been selling 3D-printed garage kits of various designs, but he recently partnered with Kotobukiya to mass produce them as model kits.

Apparently the design of Tamotu has changed a lot despite looking mostly identical to the garage kit. They added more leg articulation and a bunch of 3mm hard points, but also the body panels are now completely removable.

Preorders just went up on the typical Japanese sites.

If anything, they look more like variants of Baymax from Big Hero 6.

The eyes are very reminiscent of Baymax, but I think the Wall-E comparison is fair enough here (to me that's a good thing though). Especially looking at Eve's form changing feature and the fact that Wall-E bots also weren't humanoid.

That is fucking awesome, I hope if the release him it comes with the cart too.
I don't know why but it makes me think of the Amazon warehouse drones

All in all I'm enjoying the curved design of them. They fit really well in any scenario as a kind of janitor bot.
Take Hexagear for example, that's a wartorn Mecha concept line, and these little bits fit by being made by a third party corporation aimed at commercial use in the universe.

Ended up getting some of the KO Diaclone Power suits. I like most of them, but I noticed the pilots have issues moving their legs at the hip, like its too tight. Not sure what to use. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a black power suit with a combining gun and shield has issues holding the combined gun, since peg for it seems to be too small. I normally use future to tighten joints, but it might not last long on the gun since pushing it into the hand will probably rub it off after a few times.

IIRC Dianauts have balljoints at the hip, right? Shock oil (for RC cars) will lube them up nicely. You can also use ground-up graphite powder, or rub a dry bar of soap on the ball. Any of these methods should make them move smoother.

Yeah, though they're on a thin rod. Probably best to go the shock oil since the rod might snap trying to remove it. Any brand you recommend? I'll probably get it from Amazon and they have many brands so I'm not sure which to pick.

So the Morphonauts Kickstarter is up, a series of 4" figures who's arms and legs are connected to the torso via strong magnets, and are still fully poseable. One of the 3 main characters from the campaign is a robot, and is modular in his own right (including his backpack with 4 ports on it for weapons or what have you), but of even greater note is that one of the stretch goals is an 8" tall modular robot.

Here's a render of the 4" robot and the 8" one. The smaller robot (or any of the characters) can ride inside the cockpit of the larger robot.

Might get the robot and the orange dome helmet dude from the magnets (if he's a stretch goal).
The mech is also pretty cool, but with the Tecco Toys mechs on the horizon I think I'll have to keep my mech budget safe for now.

Really can't wait for these things.

Anyone else feel like they have to strategize/plan their collecting in advance to keep it under control? I basically limit my collection to whatever boxes will fit in the upper shelf of my closet, which at this point is completely full. So when I get excited by new series like Maruttoys, I also start thinking about what I could/should sell to make room.

At the same time I'm usually not motivated to follow through on selling what I own, so I've just been buying a lot less for the past couple years.

Hexa Gear is awesome as a whole. By creating very small scale human kits, they were able to sell comparatively huge vehicles at a fairly low price. The kits are generally very durable and modular, you can take them apart and build them into other things with the plentiful amount of connectors they supply you with. The only real downside is that the human figures are quite pricey for their size. The vehicles sorta seem cheap for their size though, so...maybe they balanced each other out in a way?

Anyway, Sneak Sight is cool but sadly it comes completely unpainted, in black plastic. This is something Koto has been doing lately and I don't care for it. Previous figures were molded in at least 2-3 colors, sometimes with some pre-painted parts. This meant figures could at least look decent without painting them yourself. But these new single-color ones, not so much.

Always wanted to get into hexagear, never been ready to pull the trigger. There's a japanese imports store in the mall that I almost bought some from, but it was quite expensive and they only stocked two different kits of HG at a time. It is now a long while since then and many of the kits I want are hard to find.

I really want one of these soldiers, they're incredible and I love all the accessories; but is this really worth sixty bucks?

Holy shit, sixty is waaaay overpriced. Those guys are $20.27 on Amiami before shipping. But...given that most shipping lines are down right now, shipping might be expensive for you depending on where you live. I don't think it'll be $40 expensive though! It probably pays to get these online and not in person.

The Governors (the human figures) are very cool, but I find myself more "wowed" out of the box by the various vehicles. You truly get a lot of bang for your buck there. I hope to get more soldiers someday though, cause shit like this is just too cool.

If you're in the US, you only have one choice right now: DHL. It's pricey, but at least it's very fast. And like I said, it's almost definitely gonna be cheaper than that $40 markup you stated.

If you're not in the US, check the Japan Post website, specifically the EMS section. They have a PDF there that shows which countries currently have service open to them and which don't.

They weren't supposed to scale with 1/18, they're 1/24. This was so they could do larger vehicles without breaking the bank.

Oh shit, that's the same store I'm talking about. Crazy! I stop by there any time I go to the mall, which isn't very often even before this bullshit virus. I usually buy a Gundam pen or some small kit and pass over the Hexa. They had the crab there one time I visited, but I was flat fucking broke.

I seriously wish they would stock these at Hobbytown USA or HobbyLobby at the very least. I'd personally love to own the entire line of characters, but the costs are just outrageous every time I try to look for them.

Dunno if you're still around, but my Carbe finally arrived. In-hand, it looks pretty much exactly like the promo pics promised, accurate colors and tampos.

I have no other Robot Build figures to combine it with, so I can only judge it as a standalone figure for now. It's nicely poseable, some joints are a little too tight and creaky. The small feet make it a little hard to balance, but once you're locked in and have them both flat on the ground, it's surprisingly stable. Good purchase, probably gonna go back and get some more now.

Yes, they are kits. They will likely come molded in the correct colors, as there are only a few colors in use here. However, they will look a bit cheap and plasticky right out of the box, you will need to paint (or at least topcoat) to get them as nice looking as the promo pics.

So nah, you don't really NEED to paint, but their finish won't be this nice without it.

I had a weird idea of attaching a Nendoroid Sam Porter where the little robot goes (by customizing a joint somehow) because the orange and gray matched. I also kind of want to see if a beast box in box mode can fit there, or a mini danboard.

I should really just buy one for myself but lol my currency sucks.

Are Desktop Army girls worth the 5550 asking price for a set of three? The eva girls and their mecha, motoko kusanagi and tachikoma mecha, and the Alice in Womderland girls look amazing but its 70CAD because I am a but a humble leaf.

The figures themselves are ok. Paint and sculpt are both reasonably nice. But at the end of the day, it's a very small figure that feels like it should be a 500 yen gacha, and in fact, even has less articulation than Aqua Shooters, which IS a 500 yen gacha series.

So at the end of the day, what it really comes down to is if you like the designs and the accessories. I don't quite regret my DTA purchases, because I made sure I 100% liked the entire package before buying, but damn, clicking "pay" hurt every single time.

This came today and I much prefer him over the original. I think the larger hands fit much better with his general design. I've actually got the other two darker versions on order as well and paid for so I'll let you know what they're like when I get them. I will say that some of the parts in the arms particularly the wrist seem a little loose. Nothing that prevents them from being poseable but just a little bit looser than I'd like.

I ordered him before the dark Ant showed up on the site, so I was a little annoyed when they put the other additions up after I pre-ordered. but I've ended up already pre-ordering the other two and I can't say I'm disappointed that I'll have two of these things. Whether it's worth it or not is going to come down to how much you want to pay, but I think it's worth the price.

So, this thing has aesthetics I really like, but it's quite pricey. Could you describe how it feels put together? Does it feel like a kit or a more solid action figure? How does the plastic feel? It seems like it's broken down into parts, but those parts are fully decal'd/painted and partially put together, correct (like the hands of this guy were already put together out of the box)?

So how modular is this one? How far can you break it apart?

It's definitely an action figure and not a model kit. I've built exagear before and this is definitely stronger. The plastic seems to be pretty high quality, I've not had any pieces break on the ones I have owned nor have I had any stress marks appear. Everything comes pre decaled and painted. It is fully put together out of the box. I would say it's not as strong as a non modular figure, but for something that is designed to come apart and go back together again it is very robust.you could totally keep it as just a figure and not switch it around with any other parts if you wanted.

The soldier ant would definitely be easier to combine with the existing figures, however its color scheme is actually slightly off those original figures so it might not go together as well as you think. Definitely better than fluorescent orange but not seamless.I'll assume you're asking about the modularity of the arms since they're really the only knew part of the figure minus the extra armor on top in the new head. They are fairly modular but you can't break the hands up too much, you can remove the thumb but the actual fingers are very much on there unless you want to pry them off their ball joint. here's a set of images of the arm separated and then broken up into as many pieces as I think is reasonable.you could probably break it up further such as separating the wrist ball joint but I don't know if that's really intended

Those are indeed small ball joints on the back of the head armor there. Because of how the fins are designed they can rotate 360 degrees and side-to-side maybe 30 or 35 degrees with a little bit of front to back but not much. The ball joints have unlimited movement within their casing but a restricted by what is placed into them.

The way the line works is that all connections are made using a standard-sized peg and hole. This means that you can plug in almost anything you want into the foot so long as it has a call to plug into. Or you can remove the peg from The joint in the ankle and plug in any other peg. You could essentially make a foot out of almost any part from this entire figure. You could also plug in the legs of other figures in the line if you just wanted a different kind of leg. You could make the entire thing into a center or hexapod if that's what you wanted.

I will say though, despite the feet being quite small they are very sturdy and very stable. they are perfectly flat on the bottom and their ankle joints are very stiff. You can essentially put the upper body and whatever pose you'd like and then press down on the feet to flatten them and it will stand up 90% of the time.the legs also have a great number of joints in them letting you move them around a lot and easily redistribute the weight as needed.

PLOT TWIST

I ordered a bunch of knock off waruders months ago after drooling over them for years. They finally showed up and.. I don't love them. I like the design of how the suit looks in its kind of standard standing mech form, but the lack of movement on the arms and legs in this configuration is a real bummer. I thought for sure I'd fall in love with these and instantly buy tons of the other different styles and official ones but I'm definitely very hesitant now. I like the vaguely dinosaur designs present in gigantor and the other smaller waruder set so I still might, however..
I also picked up a Raynor StarCraft knockoff diaclone suit and THIS THING IS PERFECT. It's sized just right, moves great, and I've just ordered a bunch of (tychus)Marines. It's like the megabloks that never was but way, way better. I'm in love.

Because MFT power suits actually are the perfect size to act as mech walkers for Mega! If you ignore little details like the way-too-skinny biceps, you can imagine that a Mega figure is encased in this power suit, which is only a little bigger than one of them. The two lines play great together in this regard.

They mean the Star Warrior ones, the blue one is very Starcraft-looking.

I use Halo Covenant troops as (budget) enemies to my Diaclone Powersuits, too bad their distribution over here sucks.

This came in yesterday. Pretty cool design, the instructions are ridiculously clear too. Definitely feels on the cheap side (there was a stress mark on one of the guns) but looking forward to more types of builds

Orangish red sounds about right. Nice pool.

You wouldn't happen to have an Astrobot handy, would you? Or maybe a 1000Toys Synth?

It's pretty damn small. Feels a bit hard to justify that size for $100 CAD. Looks real nice though.

This pic gives some sense to the scale of it. While it isn't all that tall it's real wide. The Astrobots may be my favourite figure to mess around with, do you find the RB fun to play around with? Is it smooth to pose? Do things pop out when you don't want them to?

Also thanks man, you've been extremely helpful to many in this thread, myself included. Definitely appreciate the time and effort.

I do find RB fun to play with, particularly the flame ant. Compared to the Astrobot its not quite as smooth in its movements, a little sticky to start if that makes sense, but nothing major. Joints don't get locked up or floppy or anything like that and it can pose easily and hold that pose. In terms of things popping out...well yes and no. I can hold the figure and shake it hard and nothing will fall off. But if I'm working one of the stiffer joints, the part its connected to might unpeg. Not surprising, considering they're designed to come apart, but also might annoy some people. Personally, I just put it back on and don't worry about it.

No problem.

I just bought a pre-owned DA-47 Tridigger to go with the DA-54 Trirambler I already ordered. Looking forward to making chunky tank-bike combos when they both show up.

The reason I skipped Tridigger in the first place was because I was so underwhelmed by Trijetter - definitely planning to sell that one eventually (if not also Tridasher, which is nice but I think eclipsed by Digger/Rambler)

I feel like the Trident is one of the better releases. I mean, you can 3-4 ships with just that one set.

Has anybody talked about this yet? I didn't care for the original kit they put out, but this guy is awesome. The oni mask and scarf are really doing it for me.

I still feel rather put off by the price though ($27). That's more than your average Hexa Gear Governor for a kit of the same size, with no paint apps or even decals. The sculpt on the "display stand" is kind of nice I guess, but let's be real, it's just two flat unpainted pieces of plastic. I'd rather leave those to be purchased separately and have the price per figure be cheaper.

What the fuck, this line keeps getting cooler. They need to seriously reconsider that price point, though. I’m not going to army build this shit if they’re thirty bucks per small fig.

Additional thought: I appreciate any and all lines attempting to offer chain bases, but at that scale and price point, I don’t really find the additional cost worth it. They discourage the army building potential by jacking it up.

I wouldn't panic just yet, the "good guys" seem to be much more popular? Maybe these sets just kept lingering after those were gone. And target puts all kinds of things randomly on clearance.

Dunno. But my Fireant shipped on the second and got here by at most the 13th (when I posted those shots) so thats 11 days, but I think it was actually 9 or 10.

The times to ship from china are really erratic and can be anywhere from one to three weeks in my experience.
