Do you own any toy "nobody else" does? What is it?

I'll start
>see this guy announced on some italian board by pure chance (I don't even understand italian and don't even remember how I ended up there)
>buy it because I love how it looks even though I have never seen of heard anything about "Mechander"
>quality is great, paint is perfect, posability and balance are better than most big mechs'

One of the best figures I've handled all year, 5Pro should definitely get more attention.

A bunch of Action Toys figs.

The Mini Gokin Dai-Apolon is pretty cool but I thought that it was a pretty odd decision to sell the three robots separately instead as a set. Maybe 4500 Yen per figure sounded better and more affordable than 13500 for all.

The EM Gokin Albegas looks sleek as fuck and its legs are heavy enough that you could bludgeon someone with it if it wasn't for the rather delicate hip joints. Too bad that it doesn't transform but it's definitely more a style over function figure.

The Mini Action Daltanious is pure insanity for its price - a figure as complex as this with an almost perfect transformation for only 3500 Yen?! Yes please. Would've paid more for some more weapons but well, you can't have it all.

And finally the EX Gokin R.Jetan which is pure insanity for all the wrong reasons.
Sure, it looks Obari as fuck and poses great but its transformation is 100% parts-swapping - they didn't even TRY to make anything transformable which means that essentially half of the metal content are optional parts including two separate sets of legs in tank and jet configurations that even reuse a lot of the moulds from the standard ones.
Hell, even the entire feet sections are exactly the same on all of them.
Why they didn't simply make those removable and saved everyone a couple of bucks is beyond me.

That whole line seems pretty crazy for the asked price. I'm not interested by any mech of the current line up but the second they'll announce a licence I care about, I'll hit that po button.

Everyone hated the 3A Zaku for the cardinal sin of missing the monoeye, but independent if that I just find it a really cool design Not a perfect figure but has a hell of a presence.

I think there's only one other guy in the skelly general with a COO Model skeleton. Understandable since the articulation on this thing is fucking shit. When will we get a 1/6 scale skeleton that can actually pose?

I really want a figure of this guy but not only did it had a limited release, it happened like fifteen years ago so whoever wanted it already has it. Except for me.
I might be the only person on the internet that still has these pictures since the guy that ran the blog I took them from deleted his site.

This is mine OP. I love this figure so much I have three. Creepy vibe, great articulation. I desperately want more BLAME! figures, but no-one else gives a shit about that except one guy on the other toy board.
This is probably the only 1000Toys figure you can get for $30 on Mandarake.

I would be in a similar boat, but thankfully my dude got a bunch of toys and it was cheap and easy to track him down in relatively good condition.
You ARE monitoring jap auction sites like yahoo right? That's where most of these things end up, much more often than on mandarake.

The GN-U Dou line had the right idea but occasionally some rather lackluster execution, especially when it came to hip articulation like on Sasuraiger and the two Dancougas.
A shame that we never got more of them or even a figure with the XL skeleton in it because by the time Gravion and Baldios came out they finally got the hang of it.

What was the deal with ThreeA/ThreeZero exactly? ThreeA was for "humans" and ThreeZero for bots and Wood only worked for ThreeA, is that it? I know ThreeZero is now making humans too but I guess that's because ThreeA disappeared.

>>8610910
ThreeZero was a company created by Kim Fung Wong, based in Hong Kong.
Kim made a deal with artist Ashley Wood to produce toys based on Ashley's designs, under the name "ThreeA" - the A being for Ashley.

Ashley designed toys based on his comics, WorldWarRobot and PopBot and a couple of others.
Ashley became a self-centered douchebag and stopped releasing designs on time and then started releasing designs of things that few people actually wanted.
Kim had faith in Ahley and kept the line alive until it was no longer financially viable and ThreeA was collapsed and absorbed into ThreeZero and Ashley Wood was let go.

Ashley Wood has started his own label, entitled Underverse, which will (alledgedly) pick up some of the old ThreeA lines; while simultaneously producing life-size Astro-Boy-style garbage bins and hot-pink, flocked vinyl fetish pieces for degenerates to ejaculate on.

ThreeZero continues to make (mostly 1/6 scale) awesome, high-detail and highly-articulated toys for toy collectors to enjoy.

Got myself Kaiyodo's Robot Museum Moribito Type 2 from Jinki:Extend but it won't arrive until between the 19th and 23rd.
Anything I need to know about this thing (that is by now old enough to drink in like half the countries of the world) in terms of posing, joints, delicate parts, etc.?
Some reviews also say that it also features diecast but not where exactly.

I love this thing, although I haven't handled it in years. Diecast? Don't remember any of that.

Of all the pre-Revoltech Monoshaft action figures Yamaguchi made I think Moribito and Gunbuster are the most sturdy. So it shouldn't fall apart like some did. But be carefull first time handling the joints, they are all peg swivels and if stuck you might twist them clean off.

The shoulders are the tricky ones, being two angled cuts in a row to get different positions.

I wouldn't mind getting a second one, how much was it? No one is making a new version anyways...

Around 40 bucks which sounds reasonable given its age and amount of stuff it comes with.
You'd probably pay twice these days for something like that.

I wouldn't call them toys. Id call them articulated statues.

Typically wealthier collectors will forego gimics for accurate representation and the price really doesn't come into it.

Ergo, they look good and $200 really isn't a lot of money.

I'm selling a bunch of toys for my girlfriend whose dad died a couple months ago. he had a big toy collection. It's a bunch of stuff that he thought was going to be expensive one day, and some of it is. Mars attacks, lost in space, vintage tin toy robots. '60s Japanese robots. Early '90s reproductions of '60s Japanese robots. some of them have gone for a grand.

but the one that I thought was the coolest was this Japanese one called "mechanical Happy Grandpa with ringing mill". It's just this lovely little tin toy by Yone from the sixties and you wind it up and the umbrella spins and the man reading his book rocks back and forth, and the chickens runs around and the windmill goes. It's just so nice and clever. and it only went for like 50 bucks. and the buyer isn't even a collector, it's some company in California that buys things off eBay and then resells them in Asia.
