Dolls, action figures, plushies, model kits, and other collectables are all welcome here. If you've got customising techniques to show off or just wanna share pics or toy news, this thread is for you! Or do you have some memories to share? Statues are cool too but there should be a focus on articulated things.
Here's some questions to generate discussion:
>What's your first vs your latest toy?
>If you're a collector, when did you start?
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?
>What's the most expensive item you own?
>Waiting for a package to arrive?
couldn't think of a pic to use so I threw up a logo, yadda yadda graphic design is my passion
also never made a thread before, hope I didn't do something wrong/thread doesn't die

So WonFes came and went, lots of official things and garage kits were displayed and I stole this pic off 4chan. This is apparently Fairyland's new vinyl body, I don't anything about the character but I like her design. Moe anime heads are very hit or miss with me but in this instance I like it.

As for something else, here's some Dark Souls garage kits by GillGill. Yes, they're 1/12. Yes, they're articulated. It's a dream come true because the Figma Black Knight is stuck in Good Smile purgatory and nobody else wants to make Dark Souls figures for some reason. I think Siegmeyer and the Elite Knights are reruns, but Artorias is new(!!!). Not pictured is the Dragonslayer Spear which I'm pretty sure was sold with the rest of the things on display, and they all cost too much for me to justify, not that I could get my gaijin hands on them anyway. ;_; I just want the spear and a shield for my Oscar.

I mainly collected anime figurines, but I liked anything that could be considered collectible, really. Vintage toys, ponys, Living Dead Dolls, LPS, plushies, porcelain dolls, etc.
Sadly I'm not really able to buy whatever I want anymore, so I stopped ~actively~ collecting things like 2 or 3 years ago.
Long story short, up until 2015 the US dolar (most collectible things are valued in that currency where I live) was very cheap. 100 dolars was nothing. I remember paying like 300 usd for 1/8 figures no problem. Then, at the end of 2015 we elected a new president and oh boy. The price for the US dolar went from like, 10 pesos to 45 pesos. So basically now everything is fucking impossible to afford. And if I can afford something, the price is so ridiculously high that I don't even think it's worth it anymore. Like, I could buy a motorbike instead of buying a single 1/8 figurine. I hate this 3rd world shithole lmao.
Anyway, the good thing is that most of the collectible things I own are very expensive now, so I guess I have a lot of virtual money, in a way. I mean, I don't plan to sell anything, but if I have to, at least it going to be worth it I guess.
I will answer the questions specifically about my anime figurines, since they are the most decent thing that I used to collect (well, I still kind of do, but I buy like 1 figure per year max)
>What's your first vs your latest toy?First was 1/8 Ayase from Oreimo, (Thanatos Cosplay version) by Kotobukiya. And lastest was one Goku Black by Banpresto. Tbh Banpresto is the only brand I can afford now lmao.
>If you're a collector, when did you start?I guess I started taking collecting more seriously when I was around 16. I always liked the idea of collecting stuff tho, and I intentionally didn't throw away or donate my toys when I grew older because I already tought about keeping them as collectibles.
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?I'm not really saving money for anything in particular, but there are a couple of cheap Dragon Ball figures that I'm planning to buy at some point. There are of course lots of figures that I
wish I could buy, but I will probably die without even being able to see them in person lmao. So I don't even consider saving up for them.
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?Not really. I even bought some figures of series I didn't watch, just because they were so pretty. Still don't regret it. Specially knowing how valuable they are now.
>What's the most expensive item you own?Honestly, no idea. It may be pic related, but I'm a little lazy to look up prices and to be honest I'm also very inexperienced with that, so I'm never sure where to search. I never bought anything on my own since it's a bit difficult where I live, so I bought all of my figures through facebook stores.
>Waiting for a package to arrive?Sadly, no. Btw the last figure I pre-ordered never arrived and I guess the owner of the store I ordered from basically scammed me, but it's a long story so I'll leave it there. Never pre-ordered or bought figures that weren't in stock since then.
Sorry for the wall of text, and obligatory ~sorry for bad english~. I hope this isn't impossible to read, lol.

Can I discuss BJD shit here? I know there's an ANCIENT doll thread but it's from four years ago and this is a general, idk if mods would want it necroed if this is already inclusive.
So, anyone here into collecting male bjds?
I'm a poorfag student atm so I only have one (I'm redoing his faceup tomorrow actually…it's been two years so I hope I'm not too rusty) but I'd love to have a whole team of them someday lmao.
I'd love to own one of Little Rebel's boys someday, as well as several of Dollshe's (although I heard shipping from them can be a disaster wrt wait times?). In particular I'd love an Aramis, pic related, in a darker skin tone although I'm quite sad the rhythmos body was discontinued because it was so cute. Dollpamm's new male bodies also appeal to me, even if the naming pattern he has is iffy I can't help but want one someday.
I like keeping an eye on the market although I know it's going to be years until I can afford any of them.

>>43393>The price for the US dolar went from like, 10 pesos to 45 pesos. Jesus, anon. Sorry to hear that. I never really saw the point in statues until I was gifted a Banpresto and now I can appreciate them as a nice piece of art and craftsmanship even if they 'don't do anything'. It's great you don't regret a purchase either because I have a few figures of my own that I've never done anything with besides check them out of the box (maybe that's a good reason to collect statues, hah). A good place to check an item's original price is MyFigureCollection, imo.
>>43394Yeah! BJD stuff is a-okay. I don't collect them myself due to the high entry cost and high chance of them becoming a pretty paper weight but I really like Soom's Idealian Kahn, it's a shame I can't even find him anywhere even just to look at photos. It's like he doesn't exist outside of their shop.
Speaking of doll stuff I'm looking for a 1/6 head to fit on an Azone body, preferrably with eye holes can someone rec me some? I don't like the Obitsu heads or the ones from Parabox.

>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?Some nendoroids of FOTM shows I got when I was new to collecting. They were in poor condition to sell (missing parts, no box) so I gave them away online. Just nendoroids in general, one or two looks nice but their cheapness becomes really noticeable to me when there are too many grouped together.

>What's your first vs your latest toy?
I first started collecting one coin figures for stuff like Evangelion and the Tales games. The last figure I bought was the Megahouse Raidou.
>If you're a collector, when did you start?
Mid 2000s and 2013 was my biggest purchase year.
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?
If I got around to selling the figures I don’t want to keep I have a couple older ones in mind. Besides that I haven’t bought any figs for a few years.
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?
It’s not that I regret them but I have a couple figures like Jojo SAS that I’ve lost pieces for, or bought with missing pieces. I know that if I list them anywhere toy collectors are very anal about that sort of thing. Like someone left a negative comment about a figure being messed up when it was a sealed SAS I never even took out of the box.
>What's the most expensive item you own?
I paid preorder for that one Aoba scale by Max Factory, it just sits in my closet and I never even took it out of the box. Definitely was an impulse buy when I bought it and I haven’t tried selling it because of the size.

I collect Bratz dolls. There was this collector in my area who was selling her entire collection all brand new in box. So I got many that cost $100+ online for around $10 each. I also like getting bundles of used ones that have fucked up haircuts from their previous 7 year old owners and pen marks on their faces and fixing them. I've hidden them for years out of shame tbh but considering putting them on display. I love that they're having their moment on social media right now, the 2000s fashion being so in, etc..Hope it doesn't die out too soon.

All of my favorite cape shit characters are too obscure to have more than one or two action figures, and they all suck. They've got really ugly joints, are made of shitty material, and have weird handjob-fists.
I've honestly considered just using Blender to make a model and have it 3D-printed. I'm not an amazing artist, but shit, I could do better than this. For your purposes, I think you should 3D print the additional accessories.

Thank you for making this thread, OP! I tried to make something like this like a year ago but it bombed. Wrong time and OP that could use more love (I haven't browsed /toy/ even once when I made the thread, so I approached it from the wrong side).
Anyway, let's get to the questions!
>What's your first vs your latest toy?
I have no idea as I had too many firsts. Are we talking dolls, anime figures, vintage My Little Pony? What comes to my mind is a Playarts Aerith figure (the first one, based on FFVII), which is pretty special for me. I sold my Naruto manga in order to buy her, cause I had zero pocket allowance. My parents were against the idea (it was the beginning of our financial issues), but I really wanted her and I am glad she's still with me. I need to buy a Cloud figure to keep her company!
The latest one that I purchased is a Princess Ai figure. I loved that manga as a teen and still do. I remember drooling all over pics of PA figures and dolls. I can't wait till she arrives, even though she's not a very high quality figurine. Not sure if I should unbox her or keep her sealed.
>If you're a collector, when did you start?
I've always been one, as a kid I was always trying to get other kids to trade with me so I could get their beautiful Barbie dolls or Happy Meal figurines of Disney Princesses. The day a friend decided to trade with me for her chibi figures of Sailor Moon I was crazy happy. I wish I haven't lost them!
When I was thirteen I started collecting MLP and cheap gacha anime figures that I could buy at conventions.
I also collect fashion dolls (though I want to give up part of my collection), Furbies and other adorable/aesthetic toys (like the Zelfs - I wish the brand didn't get killed by the Trolls franchise, they were so much cuter).
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?
I am the L2 Elf figure sperg from the merch thread, so I already bought the one figure I've been obsessing about.
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?
Probably some cheap trash like a Hetalia One Coin figure (I didn't even like Hetalia, just wanted to join a friend in the fun).
>What's the most expensive item you own?
My BJD was pretty expensive when I bought him, but he was still cheap for a BJD (made by a no-name company) and I doubt he is still worth much. I love him to pieces and want to buy him more clothes, as well as to learn how to style his wigs (I hate all the stray hairs, any advice will be appreciated).
>Waiting for a package to arrive?
The L2 and PA figures as well as two genuine G1 My Little Ponies.

God, I've been collecting so long, it's hard to say. I think my oldest is a tiny BJD. Latest thing to come in the mail is Snow Miku #1000 Snow Princess ver.
>If you're a collector, when did you start?
After I got my first job out of high school.
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?
Revoltech revealed a painted prototype of Harley Quinn that looks cool. If something is too pricey, I tend to shrug and move on or else my wishlist would get cluttered with shit I can't afford, lol.
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?
I regret buying as much Madoka-related figures as I did, I've been selling most of it off.
>What's the most expensive item you own?
I can't really say without outing myself because it's very specific and uncommon, but next one after would probably be a Batchix Mini-Machina Delta.

>>43407The funny thing is that half the artists who penciled him didn't even give him a mullet. A lot of them decided to just give him long hair, sometimes with bangs (pic related). Then in the 2000s XFI just gave him short hair and it's been that way since.
Anyway, if you have Blender or Zbrush, there are "bases" you can download for things like action figures. All you have to do is add the features and design elements (just like those cringey old Deviantart bases lmao). Then you 3d print it, but if you want stronger material you can make a polyurethane cast.
Then the fun part, which is painting it. Airbrushes are your friend for that sort of process, but hand-painting works well, too. I've never done model painting, but my dad and brother have. They say that the little pots they sell at hobby stores work best. I imagine you'd probably also have to prime the figure.

Seems like the thread is going steady. I'd like to post some actual news/content but for now I'm just glad you guys are keeping it alive. I don't see why doll faceups would shit up the thread, hearing about what you do with them is useful since the same materials can be used to customise other things. Also I'm hoping we get anons who make dioramas to stick around.
>>43412Nice faceups, I especially like the one in the middle. Good job!
>>43418That actually looks nice, you can never go wrong with ponytails. Imagine having enough hair left over to make a random braid out of it, baldies are seething
I have Blender, I think in my few hours of playing around I know that the X button does
something lmao. I was actually thinking of printing my Skyrim character's head and putting it on pic related because the facework is already done (but I think that involves resizing and making it print ready which is ???). Then I'd paint the details in gold to look like the older TES ebony armours.

I loved Calico Critters. I had a pretty nice collection of the rabbits going. I had a set very similar to pic related, but with rabbits and bears instead of dogs. I had to sell them off for college expenses. It's the kind of thing I would love to collect when I get old. I love the idea of a nice little china cupboard with a bunch of Calico Critters in it.

Ugh I’m trying to shop for doll eyes but I’m getting really confused at the unreliable scaling on AliExpress. While I haven’t bought it yet I’m looking at this head to put on a Pure Neemo which apparently takes 11x8mm oval eyes (or 10x7) and the irises are 5mm. Basically I can’t find better than stock eyes at this scale so am I SOL? What if I took standard round 10mm eyes (not the iris, the whole thing) and sanded it to shape? What do you guys think?

I was at a con and I saw figures for one of my favorite anime, Gintama, it Hijikata Toushirou.

I would've been fine with it if he had a tennis racket instead of a sword, but it's a clear fuck up.

Also what's wrong with recasts if they are of a good quality. Everything gets ripped off, idk why overpriced BJD get the special treatment. I can understand being protective over small brands, but I cringe about people furiously defending Iplehouse, Volks or Dollzone.
I don't own or plan to buy recasts, but someone who buys a $100 recast will not buy the $1000 original anyway.

>>43447I think smart dolls are meh, Danny never got around to making them 'smart' so they're just regular dolls where you could get way prettier sculpts for your money.
>>43448Depends on what characters, western or anime?
Only buy from Ebay and Amazon as a last result due to bootlegs and scalper prices.
Obviously check western stores first for merch on western IPs. You may also support your local stores and smaller online shops (but if it's an import item it'll likely be more expensive as they inflate the price to cover the cost of them getting across borders + profit).
For anime shit I know you have lots and lots of choices. First and foremost are the well known Japanese stores (AmiAmi, HLJ, 1999.co.jp (AKA HobbySearch), etc), you don't need a proxy service like Buyee to buy from those. Proxy services are for shops that only sell to their own country (obviously) which you'll need if you want to buy merch from Yahoo Japan Auctions. Mandarake is another Japanese online store that sells 'second hand' goods (a lot of stuff there is actually new, it's just been out on the shelves of a physical store). I know more to this but don't wanna type more in case you're not even looking for that, hah.
semi related but this just reminded me I bought a knock off in my own country for £33 with shipping pushing it to £40 when I could've just gotten it from Aliexpress, free shipping, for £20. Hurts.

>>43452I think the prices of more recent products have gone up a lot in the last couple years. Like really nice Alter 1/8 figures used to be around 9k yen and now figures in the same series start at 12k.

>>43452RIP, girl. If only they weren't priced like the luxury import products they are but it is what it is. On the bright side I think the quality of everything is better than it was even just a decade ago so even the smaller, cheaper prize figures look really good. Banpesto's Q Posket seems pretty common if you like affordable big chibi heads, common enough that I got this Wonder Woman easily on a whim in the UK for £14 from a local store and I adore her. If you're UK like me, check out Forbidden Planet, but if you're US there's also BigBadToyStore. Personally I shop at HLJ because I'm willing to pay shipping for more niche things.
Seconding Mandarake as a good choice because of those markdowns, apparently Japanese are really uptight about box damage (and it's like a small scuff on the corner, stuff nobody notices).

I have been dreaming of this thread for so long. I have a pretty sizeable late 80s-late 90s Barbie merch collection (pic related is one shelf of tat) I don't much care for the dolls unless they're BNIB but I love the merch. My fave thing is probs a set of boxed Barbie and Ken walkietalkies. I have a bunch of G1 MLPs, some Jem and the Holograms stuff, vintage Polly Pocket, Moondreamers and a bunch more random pink and sparkly 80s/90s stuff. I started collecting about 2 years ago but had some stuff I'd held onto since childhood (born in 96). I don't really know why I'm so into the super pink girly stuff cos I'm nothing like that irl but I guess the visuals are just pleasing to me. Does anyone know of any good FB groups for collecting this era/type of stuff that aren't full of crazy nasty middle aged women??

It's fucking sad because a lot of "expensive" figures are sold for like 100/150 usd, which I can afford; but actually importing them to my country -with taxes, shipping, etc- makes them like 500 usd in the end.

>What's your first vs your latest toy?
I am a doll fiend (1/6 and bjd alike), but I also have a few action figures, plushies and anime figures too. Not really a collector (besides having a shrine for a character that I try to get all the merch of), as I mostly play with them, but oh well. My first would be a random Kurhn doll. My latest.. probably my newest Jenny doll. It's an extremely rare one so naming it would easily out me heh.
>If you're a collector, when did you start?
Not really a collector, as I said, but I first consciously bought a doll when I was 13 I think. Those were simpler times before usd conversion rates fucked our entire country in the ass.
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?
I really, really want to get some Resurrection of Monstress figures, but they are quite rare and cost too much to ship here (like 5 times the cost of the figure itself, haha). They are objectively shit, but I am a sucker for camp and monster-themed things so… yeah. I also really want another Blythe, but the one I want the most costs outrageously a lot for what they are. Would like some more Ashley Wood figures eventually. Maybe a few more Play Arts Kai's.
The one thing I can't probably get ever is a Sasha doll by Groove, particularly Nuna. Or a Noix De Rome doll of Iwakura Lain. Both are extremely rare and you can't even get pictures of them really.
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?
When I started, I bought a lot of bootleg anime chibis. They were the only thing I could get. Later on I found out I fucking HATE most chibis. Like, nendos/q-poskets are the ugliest shit to me. I have some chibis in my posession still, but they are original figures of the characters that don't have a full-size figure available.
>What's the most expensive item you own?
Probably a Serial Experiments Lain statue, picrelated. I don't get why it costs so much, but I guess it's because it was old and not made in huge quantities. It's really subpar compared to modern figures, but that's what you get for liking old anime. If we're talking dolls, that would be my msd bjd, one of them at least.
>Waiting for a package to arrive?
Yeah, waiting on a package from Mandarake. I finally got a figure I dreamt of for about 7 years. It's a shitty one, really, so I won't brag. It's also apparently has some breakage, but I bet I can fix it. Boxed new ones are outrageously priced for what it is and I got it for 1/10th of the price because some stuff is detached and the box fell apart.
>Do you only buy what you like or are you a completionist who wants the whole set?
The dolls/toys I buy have to fit a very particular aesthetic. I couldn't give a shit about getting a full set if parts of the set are ugly to me.
>Have you ever thought about where your toys will go as you get older? REALLY old?
I'm probably not having children, so to the dump?
>Have you kept your childhood toys?
Only one and it's not a collectible, just a beat-up stuffed dog. I wish I kept my oldschool Bratz doll. I never had any toys of value besides her anyway.
>Any toy/merch horror stories, as a kid or an adult?
Not really. Just a lot of dolls I had destroyed while trying to customize that I ended up missing in their original forms and that are too pricy/rare to buy again nowadays.
Oh. I remembered. I got Play Arts Kai Cloud Strife as a gift. I don't know what version since I am not a fan of FF7 in the slightest, but he was really beautiful. One day I came home to him not being in his usual place. I thought I misplaced him. And then I found a piece of him behind the matress. My crackhead boyfriend literally smashed him to pieces because I said something he didn't like. I still wonder how he managed. Kais are pretty sturdy.

My favourite cheap company is Resinsoul. They have a terribly set up shop with worst pictures ever, but. The dolls are cheap and they are really well-made. They also offer a wide variety of skintones and would mix a custom one for you, including transluscent parts! They do mix-and-match parts of dolls and do minor mods if you write to them directly. The customer support is great and they do real good discounts for group orders (we have a group order in my country's bjd comm and get about 20% on top of the usual discount)
Resionsoul face sculpts are not the best really, they're an acquired taste, but a way to get a cheap bjd is getting a cheap body and making a hybrid with whatever head sculpt you like.

Have you experienced Lain's diaries from the PSX game? They have been translated some time ago and they truly are something.
That Noix De Rome Lain is unnervingly cutesy.
I was pretty sure that below quoted page included a larger photo of it than what can be found while googling, but I guess I was wrong.

I wish I could buy a Haibane Renmei figure, I truly love this series and need to rewatch it soon. I miss anime like that! Plus, ABe's drawing style is truly special.
I relate HARD to your story with chibi figures. I find them shit but when I was a kid weeb they were all I was able to get besides bootlegs of Sailor Moon Bandai figures. I don't get how people can collect Funkos or even Nendoroids. They are so cheap looking and a terrible representation of the character.

>>44493I love that Lain diorama myself, it's really, really good for an older figure, but compared to modern ones it looks quite cheap. It's bare bones and minimalistic, which I actually like since the entire series is like that.
I've started reading the PSX translation a while ago, but for some reason I stopped and never came back to it. Well, not for "some" reason really. SELain is deeply personal to me and reading about her actually struggling with mental illness and treatment was too much like reading about myself and my own pain.
Noix De Rome Lain looks nothing like the character really, but I am a sucker for anime dolls and she's really cute. I have a Toynami Lain (guitar version) and she's a dream. I want to get them all one day.
A good website for anime dolls is
https://shoujodolls.com/index.php/en/ they have a review of the Noix De Rome Lain.
I need to rewatch Haibane myself, but it put me into such a melancholic funk the first time, I am afraid that now as a much older person I would actually "get it" and it would be even worse. I had nearly got a bootleg of the fig in your picture before I really got into original figures, just because of how pretty it was and how much I love everything ABe touches.
Also there's like two pictures of this Lain doll I found, but I don't think it was ever released. A shame.

>>45026First if you're a member or even lurker of any specific doll/figure forums or other communities like FB groups or whatever, stop checking them. I know it can be fun to connect with people who share the same interests but in my experience internet groups centered around any hobby that involves buying things is always filled with mega autists who spend an exorbitant amount of money on shit and the culture just encourages constant buying and hoarding. It's so tempting to want to buy something new and shiny when you see other collectors parading it around on social media, it's the whole FOMO thing and if you focus solely on your own collection it's a lot easier to avoid temptation. Learn to love what you already own instead of focusing on what you don't have and definitely don't compare yourself to other collectors.
Also I recommend keeping track of what you're buying. I keep a bullet journal and I write down everything that I buy for each month. When you impulsively shop it's so easy to fall into the mindset of "Oh, but this is just $12, that's nothing" but that shit adds up super fast. When you keep track of everything you bought it's no longer "just $12" but "another $12 to the $150 that I've already spent on doll stuff this month…" and you start to hold yourself accountable.

Also there will prob be new figs for the Falcon & WS show and the Wanda & Vision show, you might like Vision's or Falcon's body types. Old figs get crazy expensive, waiting for the new waves might be a better bet. I don't have any X-Men but their bodies are usually pretty comic-looking.

OP here, I’ve been away so I haven’t been able to post content but good to see thread is not kill. Nice range of toys too. Recently my Mythic Legions figures arrived so maybe I’ll post pics of those (female knights? YES.)
>>44019>LainGood taste.
>>45026I say try the 1 week rule, if it’s in your cart wait for that long. Or maybe even monthly depending on how often you get paid.
And remind yourself about the things you HAVE to pay for (bills, food, toiletries etc). For example my hobby is not as important as a new phone for my mother when her current is days away from death, as well as some serious home repairs and replacing wonky annoying furniture.
I don’t personally see your post as off topic clutter but people are gonna post about wanting and getting toys here which is distracting from your goals to spend less.
>>45151What I want to do is mainly parts swapping and repainting because I don’t have the patience to learn how to sculpt or recast things. But those are some cool recs, especially Spider Man Noir and his cool looking coat, he might be the one. It was the first thing my eyes were drawn to on your shelf.

I have this lizard beanie thing I want to ID, I've seen these things around for over a decade and they're really well made but I guess it's just some generic toy with no label. Really cute though.
>toy horror story
Just a male cousin wanted one when I got mine when we were kids. He thought it was funny throwing it against walls as hard as he could then threw a tantrum when it finally split, the dumbass. I'd never do that to any of my toys, all I can think is "creature cute, no harm

>>47400Nendos are much better than funkos because you can swap their heads around and pose them in different ways. I suggest getting a nendoroid doll or a cu-poche for the body because tbh, normal nendoroid bodies are fragile and annoying to fiddle with.

>>47417I will never in my life understand how funkos became so popular. they almost never look like who they are supposed to unless they are very unique like pennywise or Sora from kingdom hearts. they always seem devoid of any emotion or expression.
I love nens, because of the ability to face switch and all the lil accessories.
No. 47437
>>47426It’s probably because they’re cheap and easily available to normies who don’t get hobby shops or importing things, like getting a table from IKEA vs getting some bespoke piece from a Swedish carpenter.. I’d rather somebody gift me new socks than a lump of plastic that doesn’t even look good.
>>47400Can’t help you there but this makes me wonder how nendo quality is doing vs figmas which people are rightly beginning to shit on for QC issues and generally being cheap with figures being more expensive for less accessories. Good Smile also came up with a huge headed doll body which nobody around here seems interested in.
There’s no way around affording merch, you have to be insanely rich and/or spend 0 on everything else in your life. Like SailorTortilla on Youtube, she said she had a job in advertising but I think she has to come from some money because her merch room is unbelievable, I can’t imagine how much it all costs in total when one of those shelves has like dozens of things that cost hundreds each. I wonder if she has a problem but that she has a bank account that can take it, it’s more shiny plastic than I could dream of.
>>47417Well I’m tired of only having doll threads when I’m a girl who wants to talk about my action figures openly without feeling like I have to infiltrate a shitty /toy/ thread where there really ARE garbage hentai figures posted by guys like that Jasmine anon who found his way here.
No. 47447
>>47417Personally I dislike them because all the extra parts are a hassle to keep in check and I don't like chibi style figures in general as they are less interesting than original character designs. Obviously you don't share my point of view. Having said that, if you are going to buy a figure, buy a Nendo rather than a Funko. They are lazy garbage and sooner or later you might regret wasting money on them instead of going for the quality stuff. Maybe save up for a Nendo of your fave character. That way you will be sure that you really want to spend money on it.
IMHO it's a bit like buying a bootleg instead of the real thing. You might think you are saving a money, but the quality is not there which makes the figure worthless.
I would recommend Funkos only if you are desperate for a figure and your favorite character doesn't have any other merch. Even then comissioning an artist would be better, but if you don't have the time and/or money…
I am still salty that there are no quality Bojack Horseman figures that actually look like the characters and not sameface blobs.

>>47417>>47426Ugh, yes there are so many ugly funkos. Like I said, ugly as sin. Although I have the bulbasaur one and I love it, he has such a cute smile. Pic related.
But I really want a cute fig of my husbando and the nendo is just so much more appealing than the funko, and better quality.
>>47437One of the ones I'm wanting(I literally just want two) is actually by Good Smile so I like that style for sure.
I can afford it, technically, it's just justifying that amount of money on something that's basically useless and creates more clutter. I grew up with hoarder mentality and just got every little thing that caught my eye, so I'm wary of falling back into that. I'm mostly curious if anybody else has this issue and how others may deal with it? Does anybody else feel like these are things that they
shouldn't be spending money on?
>>47417>>47447Totally agree with the bootleg comparison. And I feel because funkos are so much cheaper it's easier to buy a bunch of them, whereas having one or two nendos would make them so much more special to own. PLus it would be more difficult to have it get out of hand in regards to collecting.
No. 47650
>>47465I agree this Bulbasaur (btw great choice in starter Pokemon, anon!) is pretty damn cute and an exception to the rule.
I wish we could get a popular and low cost series of figures that are not chibi. Even if the quality was not great, it would be nice to be able to buy a cheap and accurate character from series that Funko holds licenses to.
At least in Japan you can get gacha, trading and Sega prize figures if you are on a tight budget….

Anyone else remember these? I know I still have mine, but I haven't seen it in years, packed away in boxes somewhere since we last were preparing to move. I remember how mad my mom was when I asked for him. I loved it so much; saw it at the grocery store. The thing was damn expensive too, $3.50. It sounds like nothing now, but that was over 15+ years ago and my mom and I dug up change in the car just to go to McDonalds. It meant a lot to me at the time; I carried it everywhere. I took it to school one day, only in the 4th grade, and was belittled for being too old in front of the entire class to be bringing toys to school. Keep in mind I was hiding it under my desk and not letting it distract me from my work, I just used it to calm my anxiety. She took it away and called home, made my mother even angrier; she tried to throw it away and called me a dumbass. I dug it out, so she hid it from me, and that's when it ended up put in those boxes.

>>47465>I grew up with hoarder mentality and just got every little thing that caught my eye, so I'm wary of falling back into that. I'm mostly curious if anybody else has this issue and how others may deal with it?I have borderline hoarder parents which in turn made it really easy for me to fall into a collector hobby and overindulge. If I wanted it and I had the money, I would get it. So it seems like we come from similar places lol.
Honestly, a lot of it is simply self-control and knowing yourself. If most of your pointless purchases are, say, impulsive or something you do while drunk, you need to nip it in the bud when you feel the temptation. I ended up having to create strict guidelines for myself to prevent from overspending on useless shit. I followed those rules for a long time and thankfully don't need to reference them anymore, but it can be as dumb as "will this match your other collectibles?" to more serious "are you spending more than your monthly budget allows?"
Should you be spending money on it? Well, that's pretty subjective. Logically, Nendoroids don't really serve a purpose other than being cute. But there's nothing really wrong with buying cute things as long as you aren't drowning in them. After getting over my spending habit, I started having buyer's remorse over the stupidest things, so try not to fall into that hole, either. You will make yourself miserable over anything that doesn't fall under "necessities", which is a lot of stuff.
If you really want to justify it? Tell yourself you can sell it later if you aren't feeling it. Nendoroids sell pretty well even when they're opened, so don't sweat that part of it.
Mind if I ask where you're buying from? Because Mandarake has a few of the Link Nendos for a little under $30 and MFC has a few open/nib ones for between $30-40, some with free shipping. You can save yourself a lot of money if you know where to look.

I can admire how on-model it is and it captures the parts confident and sensual parts of her personality. The fact that mostly men buy these is what bothers you, not me because I can admire the characters behind these figures and I don’t mind cheesecake. I only lament there isn’t more beef and that most bishounen figures are too tame.
>I’m not saying it’s hentai>There’s a hentai figure right there>Japanese hentai figuresAnon….
And nah m8, it’s an older Revoltech, the joint cuts are too obvious to me and older Revos have weird articulation that I’m not a fan of. Her face also looks pretty off, not accurate. Usually I prefer articulated figures but if I were to choose I’d pick the statue. Also lol @ you posting that figure, you must assume I’m a male poster talking about her nipples like that and you could only search for that ancient Revo after I namedropped the character.

We do seem to have limited options overseas, and the cheap items like gacha end up not being that cheap when you add shipping and duties onto them, lol.
>>47688You anons have convinced me, I'm gonna go for it! Don't judge me but it's Sasuke and the Majora's Mask version of Link. There's also a reasonably priced Vegeta fig I might get too that's not too ugly. Idk I find a lot of the dbz merch to be really ugly too haha. Maybe I'm just too particular.
>>47718Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head anon. I especially had a problem overspending on clothes until a year or so ago. I did the same thing that you did with the rules, and I barely buy new clothing now. I guess I'm just worried I'm gonna open pandora's box again, but have it be about figs this time instead lol.
But you're right, I don't want to deprive myself from buying cute things, because it does bring me joy. A lot of it is just making sure I don't go over board now, cause owning too much of it all would probably make me feel less happy about it in general.
I was thinking of getting them on tokyo otaku mode. They have the discounts, plus $10 off as a new member. The two nendos I want are $50 each and the vegeta fig is like $20 or something. With the discounts it comes to ~$100 before shipping, which doesn't seem too bad? Especially for new in box?

Seeing this photo allowed me to reverse image search her and brought back so many memories of how I would just stare at her dress and pretty necklace in my room. Little girls really are a whole different species, that glittery fabric would send me into a dream world.

one of my all time favourite characters has plenty merch but quite hard to find, especially at a good deal. i have managed to secure not one, but TWO!! figures for her, and i'm over the moon.
one is a general figure but the other is from the nanorich voice collection and i had never heard of it until now. all the listings i could find for her were pricy but i managed to haggle and lower the price for mine. i just hope the voice box works, i watched some videos of other characters speaking and it seems so cool to have a talking chibi!
i own her figma already so i cant wait to slowly add to my collection. she really is the best, i've never loved a character more.
>>51883if my friends like the characters then i'll give them as a gift, but if not then i usually sell it on. eBay is good, as well as any local anime sales groups (ie in my case UK anime sales) i'm not too sure about depop though, it seems more normie.

>>52160>what is one thing you look for in a figure?Intricate details and at least semi-realistic proportions if not from a highly stylized series. I love swirling super powers or nature like trees/flowers, expressive faces, calligraphy, metallic or detailed trim/paintjobs… basically very dynamic. I also look for figures that accurately portray the character, as if to pull them from the screen into the real world. A lot of merch in general just doesn't look like the character, or doesn't suit their personality. Pic related is one of my favorite figure designs, although I never bought it because I didn't have the money at the time.
Plain bases are fine to me if it feels like it would take away from the rest of the figure, although plain bases tend to have equally bland figures attached.

I do, but I only collect. I have mixed feelings about custom Furbies. They are often very cute and I am in awe of how skilled the artists are. On the other hand I appreciate vintage Furbies just as they are and I think I prefer unmodified ones. It's a bit of a waste to see a vintage toy remodeled because there might be a limited amount of those around (especially working ones) and I feel they should be preserved (unless the Furby was already ruined). I have the same opinion about G1 ponies.
Sidenote but I wish the community wasn't a cesspool of genderspecial kids making 'Furby hates terfs' art, I wish I has a Furby sperg friend tbh
Are you collecting or customizing? What's your fave generation? Opinion on Furby fakes?

I had a 2004 Furby, but left it at my parents house when I moved out because I don't have room for it in my apartment. I already have a shitload of plushes and a handful of action figures but only one Furby so I had to leave her behind.
I want to get into collecting a line of action figures that go together. Something like a cross between Betty Spaghetti and Nendoroids.

>>68980>The clothing on them looks cute, but i am not a fan of the eyesI feel the same, I think it has more to with their design rather than size (as a whole); their pupil is too big where as the iris too thin and add to that the small one white dot that supposed to be the shine that reflects in the eye. In other words or tl;dr, there's lack of detail and the pupil is big void.
Which is why I like the latest doll which have yet to be released, they gave her unique details to her eyes which also gives her more of character

I usually hate Funko Pops but yesterday I caved in and finally bought a flocked Porg Funko Pop. It was a very hard decision, since all the Porgs are very cute. I decided on the flocked one as I find the painting quite ugly on the Porgs I've seen on youtube (it seems kind of blotchy).
Looking forward to buying the lifesize Porg next month. I hope it will not get sold out before I can throw my money at it! I'm worried that soon it will be hard to get Porg merch since not so many was made in the first place and they were not featured in The Rise of Skywalker beyond a quick background cameo…

My gripe with them is the price because I'm not dropping $35 USD for a doll. I don't care about the blind bag shit so I wish they would just sell the doll already premade/clothed which would cut down on the cost.
I really like the Rainbow surprise dolls too but can't see paying $54 because the dolls are a blind box and come with two things of slime(that doesn't work) also wish they were poseable.

I asked my friend to lend me her doll so I could repaint her face and make her a new outfit so I made her a witch. It's not my first attempt but it's my first time using soft pastels. She is a Winx doll.
I would like to redesign dolls like this and sell them, but while I think she's adorable I know it's not high quality enough to sell. The problem that brings down the quality is my acrylic paint always leaves little bumps, for example her socks, eyes and little stars are all bumpy. Does anyone have any tips for this?

Recently Na! Na! Na! Surprise arrived to my country, so I decided to give it a try and get one. The concept of combining fashion doll with plush is quite innovative, however the execution leaves much to desire.
The plush bag accessory is really cute and fluffy, I do enjoy it and found it to be a worthwhile.
On another note, Unsurprisingly Barbie/Mattel' shelf space became smaller where as MGA/LOL OMG/NNNS grown lately and it was the case for two different toy shops in different districts. Maybe Mattel would finally get that motivating swift kick like they did during Bratz days…and if not, Mattel death wouldn't be a great loss at this point.

Annoyingly, the doll can't either sit or stand properly due to the hefty body and the badly designed swivel joints for the hips. I don't mind much the lack of ability to stand as much as the sitting.
As for the controversial bra and panties, I do not mind the panties (I think they're a nice touch) but the bra is too much and pointless considering the doll is flat. Unlike what many would claim, I don't think these are looking like kids but rather as stylized chibis; the wide hips are defiantly not a child-like feature.

Ah yes, the limited storage problem. As long as you collecting without selling you will inevitably run into this problem. My personal advice is to try buying only toys you REALLY want and also avoid complete collections and instead try to collect from many different toylines to keep your collection varied, interesting and less suffocating.
>also I like Minna Moody a lotShe's cute too. It's nice that at least MGA keep making a few goth/punk dolls after Mattel killed MH for good. I hope LOL OMG will also get dolls like this soon.

https://dollsaga.wordpress.com/ and
https://dollyconfessions.com/For toy news I visit the following sites: Taghobby, Figsoku, Toyark, TNI (Toy News International), Fwoosh, Figures.com and ToyHypeUsa
>Toybox PhilosopherEasily hands down the best fashion doll reviewer; her attention to details and high quality photos were great. I'm still bummed about her leaving (tbf fashion doll market was in absolute shambles when she left; many doll lines died and even companies such as tonner) and focusing on fixing generation girl-like dolls.
>I check https://venivididolli.blogspot.com from time to time, but it's not the sameSame. I mostly know her from the time when flickr and livejournal were still relevant. She got an an amazingly huge and varied doll collection, but other than that her photos are still old 2000's crappy quality and her "reviews" are more of lazy show-off like most doll "reviewers". You should check her flickr, she has pro account and all her old pics are still there.
>>96862They remind me of Moana quite a lot with the thick thighs and round big-eyed head.
>On an unrelated note do you guys think that MGA will ever make fashion packs for the OMG dolls? I really miss the old standard for fashion dolls where you can get a brand new pack for the dolls you already have, especially since OMG dolls have their set style for each characterI highly doubt it, since each doll have too specific theme/style for allowing mixing and matching, the same issue that started with MH and began this awful trend (and that's one of the main reasons I found MH overrated).
>>96876>When I look at them I'm so glad I no longer "need" to own at least one doll from each bullshit line being pushedHow many failed doll lines did Mattel came up with since the death of MH and EaH? 4 dollines: 1. WWE - the average girl couldn't give less of damn about it 2. Wild Hearts Crew - outdated 2000's emo scene fashion with all dolls sharing the same color palate (boring) and having molded bras 3. Creatable World - controversial toyline that couldn't be sold internationally (e.g. Russia) and the wigs were garbage 4. Netflix Nu-Ra - neither girls nor the vast majority of doll collectors gave a shit. It's almost mind-blowing how despite that, plus losing the DC license and Barbie doing bad, Mattel haven't gone completely bankrupt and refused Hasbro' offer to buy them twice (thank goodness)!
I completely agree the dolls are passable, tbh I'm more interested in the female T-Rex from the line and after I found out she isn't being sold with a doll I want her even more! The fact a side animal is more appealing than the main dolls in the line really shows how bad it is…
>The cavemen theme isn't that interesting or relevantMattel tried to go with good ol' Flintstones feeling (Emberly "NotPebbles") combining 80's-90's bright colors, but how many kids today even know about the Flintstones >how do you do fellow kids.jepg
IMHO it's not a bad idea in general (it's rather quite unique for fashion doll line out of all things), but the execution is definitely bad. Foremost, they should have downsized the scale to 5.5" inch like original She-Ra to allow world building aka, vehicles playsets which are now, sadly, a thing of the past/limited to Lego and Playmobil. Not to mention it's would've made the paper-thin clothes forgivable. Second, they should've gone with edgier look like tribal tattoos and bone piercings, giving it more caveman/primitive feel to it and making it cooler.

Are there any other places to discuss dolls among female collectors? Some time ago I run into an actual forum (I think it was called Dollieh Heaven or something), but it was mostly dead. Even though I am not as much of a collector as I used to be, I would still like to talk about dolls with others. I love this thread, but it's barely moving and rarely gets engaging posts like yours!
I did not know those doll websites/blogs, will check them out!
I knew something irked me about venivididolli but could not put my finger on it. It's true, her blog is truely straight from the 00's!
The Cave Club also made me think of Flintstones, but I bet that current kids don't know about that and wouldn't care. I feel like this line will fail, but maybe I am wrong (I'm surprised tbh that Enchantimals are still going! They are nothing special tbh).
Side note, but why are there two black/tan girls and no asian character? Unless the guy is asian, but I don't think so?

>>97025Thank you so much, I'm truly flattered!
>Dollieh HeavenYou mean Dollieh Sanctuary, I also know about a forum called DollDreaming (but it's mostly for Dollfie Dream and other big vinyl dolls), both are slow. If you want fast-paced places for discussion, I guess your best bet are facebook groups and 4chan (beware, lots of shitposting, asshole attitude and creepy dudes). Personally, I like it here even if it's very slow as I prefer quality over quantity and I'd like to avoid the whole inevitable ego-trip and drama involved with namefaggging
>I feel like this line will fail, but maybe I am wrong (I'm surprised tbh that Enchantimals are still going! They are nothing special tbh)I will be shocked if Cave Club would succeed considering the harsh competition with LOL OMG, but maybe the lower price point will give it advantage.
Enchantimals still running?! Well, the cute animal theme with small animal sidekick is naturally popular among girls and Mattel most likely took inspiration from once popular Shopkins which also had molded tops (eew) and small sidekicks.
>Side note, but why are there two black/tan girls and no asian character? Unless the guy is asian, but I don't think so?Probably because Asians care less about representation than blacks? I mean they're still way more attached to their origin countries than blacks and which have plenty of media and merch specifically aimed for them (The three main big/known Asian countries, each have their own fashion doll: Japan- Licca, China- Kurhn, South Korea- Mimi). I doubt there's an ill intent behind that from Mattel and they might've planned Asian dolls for the later waves. Furthermore, I heard Mattel plan to increase the number of black dolls (more shitty Black barbies without eyeshadows and blush, having non-bendable knees and wearing a potato sack just like the shitty white Barbies!) so they're more focus about that.

I didn't saw that version in my country.

To think it was designed by the original Bratz creator and was made by a smaller toy company entering the fashion doll market for the first time, what a waste. I feel like playline toy market really went down the hill and stale after 2012 as in general and not just for dolls; many great toylines died and Mattel' and Hasbro' dominance grew even stronger. It became completly rare after 2012 seeing smaller toy companies/new doll lines at Toyfair.

>>99323Ahhh, I misunderstood your posts. Now I see what you meant.
TBH we cannot say how much Bild Lilli's quality contributed to her popularity. Girls could love her even if she was cheap cause there was no real competition. It's true that kids absolutely DO see difference in doll quality. Only dumbass adults think that a cheap bootleg is just as good as a legitimate Barbie (I am not talking about someone not being able to afford a brand doll, just being like "what's the point of overpaying if you can get a doll for half of the price??? It doesn't make a difference anyway, both have the same purpose".
I liked the woke Fashionistas in the beginning because they were quirky anf cute compared to the bloated nightmare that the Generation Girl mold ended up being, but I see Barbie disappearing since the dolls are no match to all the colorful, gimmicky rivals. Not many kids will buy an alopecia doll compared to LOL OMGs and others.

Worst of all they stopped having click knees REEEEEEEE…and from this moment and on Barbie became worthless shit.
>compared to the bloated nightmare that the Generation Girl mold ended up beingTheir fashion was still less tacky and they had BENDABLE KNEES.
>Not many kids will buy an alopecia doll compared to LOL OMGs and othersNot just kids, but actual doll collectors as well. Just compare the upcoming Rainbow High to BMR1959 which share the same price point;
Rainbow High
>Second outfit including second pair of shoes>Insert eyes with real eyelashes>Brush, Doll stand and two hangers for the cloth pieces >Double jointed elbows and knees>No pixelated face printingAnd to add insult to injury they use the same lame "brand tags" trend, only that its actually executed well.

albino children were not invented yet? What about fat girls? And why they still haven't produced a down syndrome Kelly? Surely children like this exist and play with Barbies.
You are deluding yourself if you think that social media and feminist criticism didn't force Mattel to go all inclusive. They made a curvy Barbie after years of feminist criticism AND because ugly AF Lammily beat them to the punch and gained attention for being a 'healthy, realistic' doll.
I can buy they are trying to appease adult sjws with kids, but not that they care about children that much.
Contrary to what you think, I'm not against diversity in dolls. I loved the Dolls of the World series, Kira was my favorite Barbie friend. But dolls have to be quality and beautiful as well. Mattel is clearly failing here and tbh has been failing since way before the tumblr style dolls.

Hopefully, they will eventually make dolls at the height 12" and under as well, I remember Tonner had dolls in all kinds of scales and styles-so greater variety like in the past would be wonderful.
Wonder what "highly articulated body" means? Is it your standrad 12 PoA for adult collector fashion dolls like Integrity Toys or something like Barbie MtM? It would be quite disappointing if it will be the former.
>>99700I'm not fan of the Frozen-esque faces for the females either, in particular their thin edgeless lips. The boy' face is much better and decent imo. Shame they didn't extend the pattern on his jacket to his pants which look kinda cheap and dull. As for the colors besides the female eyebrows (that thick bright turquoise on tan skin, just doesn't look good), are pretty and cohesive. Another thing worth mentioning, it's great that they finally start to give the dolls normal-sized earrings instead those ridiculously enormous ones which are repulsive and disturbing.

Hope the actual doll doesn't look much worse than the promo pic. How did the already released HP dolls compare?
>You own genuine g1 ponies? Sweet. Can you show some of them?I do have a small collection, yes! I don't have anything especially rare since I live in Europe (they are not as common here, or at least in my country) and I am a poorfag compared to the American collectors. I do love all my G1s a lot! I also have some G2s. A few months ago I was lucky to buy like 5 or 6 MIB G2's from a guy that apparently bought a warehouse in Netherlands full of late 90's toys (I also bought some oldschool Pokemon merch from him). The ponies don't have their backcards as they got destroyed, but they are still in the plastic bubble along with their original accesories (except for a pair of fabric wings or something, IDK what happened). I also got a playset MIB though it's not that great (it's a wedding dinner room or something). I love G2s, even though I wish there were more poses. They were beautiful, but could use some variety! Obsessing over G2 ponies as a kid is probably what started my lifelong obsession.
I will try to take photos of them! Looking forward to seeing the smallest G1!
>I heard someone else mention it too, I just hope Hasbro won't try to sue MGA for MLP likeness Do they even remember about Takara MLP and do they still hold the copyrights? I know a few years ago there was a huge issue with Hasbro apparently losing rights to G1 characters except for Applejack (which is how FiM mane six happened). But maybe that's not an issue anymore since they are remaking the G1 toys? My head hurts, this is such a mess!

As for the World's Smallest, they're a bit bigger than I expected. They have nice and come with a brush.

>>102601Oh, those are great!!! I'm tempted to buy Alice (but I will probably not, since I am not attached to the character - the doll looks great though!) or Esmeralda - though it irks me how the clothes look cheap AF, the 90's Mattel doll was MUCH better. The skirt should use much more fabric, and the corset is poor as well!
A Disney heroine doll line was long overdue, but the effort is a bit hit or miss… Maybe they are budget dolls and I shouldn't be complaining that much? What is the price tag?
Megara compares even worse to the 90's Mattel doll than Esmeralda. I adore her unique face mold! The Disney Megara looks too soft and generic.

I suck at crafts but I am really tempted to give this a shot… It irked me that the Mattel Baby Yoda doesn't have legs, but the face is so wonderful I decided to ignore that (plus there is no better option tbh).

I'm not much of plush collector (I do have some small collection from my childhood), as I grow up action figures and fashion dolls became my top priorities while plush as at the bottom. My most "recent" purchase was few years ago, if anyone remember there was small trend of brand called *"Bush Baby World" by Golden Bear Toys (in the US it was called Fur Babies and was distributed by Moose Toys). They've unique and fun gimmick in which you put your finger inside a small socket in the back of their head and then you can move around their eyes and ears. I'm very fond of their eerie 50's toys aesthetic going with their face sculpts and eyes while still being cute! I got the first basic editions which personally I prefer over the later ones with flowery prints, "troll hair", etc. I'm not certain if the brand is dead or not; the website does no longer works, but I happened to see some new products (with even crazier prints, new eye shape, more accessories and even blind bag crap plastic figurines eew), specifically from a Russian site-

*Fun fact: in Japan it was called Gyoroppy and was distrubited by Bandai.
>>104946Cute! What plush is it?
>I don't collect toysIf you gonna start beware of that deep rabbit hole!
>>104618Turns out these cost 70$ which is a bit steep, I wouldn't mind it so much if the bracelet and socks/tights were actual separate accessories and not printed. Hopefully it will get down to 60$. I like these a lot more than the regular ones since their hats are removable and they have ears, such shame they still kept having printed jewelry and socks, otherwise they would've been perfect. Usually I would prefer bunny over cat and "gothic" look over cute one, but pinkXblack are one of my most hated color combinations and goes more with emo style rather than goth. Overall, I'd like to see more "ultimate" nanana dolls…what are your thoughts?
P.S. some irl photos I've found of them on instagram-

tbh I've only started to collect Licca 3-4 years ago
There's a new Licca subline called #Licca I really hate hashtags outside of the internet, it meant to replace the Bijou Series which was also in the same price range, around 40$ and stand as a middle ground between the standard playline Licca and the adult collector line Stylish Doll Collection.
In this new line Licca is 17-year-old in second year of high school (JK), the doll height is 27cm and still can share accessories, shoes and some clothes with regular Licca.

I’m really excited for the new Gecco statues of Heather and Pyramid Head. Does anybody know if they’re going to be reprints of their original runs or new statues completely? I’m assuming the former but haven’t been able to find much info about them. I’m curious if their price point is going to be like the original (150 USD) or the new Dead By Daylight statues (360 USD).

And today's in Mattel latest retardation; Mattel saw HasbroPulse success and got jelly, so they decided to open their own faggy online store (Mattel Creations) for adult collectors. But instead of, at least offering new toys, they just made cheap clear plastic version of their overused playline toys, slap on it high price and call it a day. Even the most pretentious lazy "pop culture" knockoff indie toy garbage is better than this lazy fucking corporate shit. Mattel just keep going straightway to bankruptcy.

I only own one Nendo but I'm so tempted to buy the Witcher 3 Yennefer one. She's one of my favourite characters and she's just so damn cute! She's around $50 on preorder rn.

>>112005Yennefer-anon here. I have a couple of Dark Horse figures (the newish Yen one and a Daenerys one) and they're both…not great. They were about $40 where I'm from but they look, and are built, like those collectable figures that you get with magazines for $10. Although, the newest Yen one (picrel) is better than the Daenerys one - she has a super lumpy paint job. Luckily I got the Dany one as a gift, so I don't have to regret spending money on it lol.

They are not sold in my country, so I have to go to an online store. However I want to know your opinions on the toys, I think they are really cute and give me comfort, they also seem pretty fun to draw, but I want to know if it's a good idea.

>>112855I had a load of them when I was younger!! They're so cute.
The only advice I can give you: If you're using them for anything other than display, don't get the Persian cats. Their fur is made of some tooth brush bristle type material and it gets dirty IMMEDIATELY and is nigh impossible to clean. Also IMO the official Sylvanian house / play sets are a huge rip off, but if you get any, the camper van set is really cool, and comes with loads of really cute knick-knacks.

>>108801Though the promotional instagram pics gave me hope the legs might be bendable, they're indeed solid hollow plastic. And if it wasn't enough, they have ugly seamline in the middle to boot! I know it's a stretch but I'm going to blame Mattel for that, up until 5 years ago before the NuFashionista normalize hollow plastic legs, it was a clear sign of a dollar store knockoff doll that no sane company would dare to do.
As for the overall look of the body, it look like a slimmer Bild Lilli copycat
it's yet another Bild Lilli knockoff, how exciting! which doesn't go very well with Licca rounded and puffy face…still ten times better than the mature body used for Stylish Doll Collection which look completely out of place. On another note, the classic lacy underwear doesn't go well with their modern fashion, although I'll admit it's a nice touch, I think a more modern looking one would be a lot better.
On the one hand, I'm happy that's the case with the legs since it wouldn't mess with my toy budget as I collect many different toylines (it just got released), but on the other hand, I was really looking forward to a trendy teenager Licca line and it's really shame they're all doomed to be lame because of that unless knee maybe in the future Takara with update the legs

Question to the wise mattelfags! I have checked on Ebay the Millenium Princess Barbie since it's the one collector's doll I was able to ID on sight from Lilee's collection.
I was curious how much she is worth and ended up being even more confused. Why are the prices for the doll so varied? Was there a rerelease, variant or what? How can it be sold for as little as $9 and as much as $3000 at the same time and in the same condition? The product number is even the same (24154) WTF is going on?

fuck mattel nor much of a vintage toy collector, however have slightly experienced with collecting vintage toys and have fairly vast knowledge as an avid toyfag.
Thanks to adult collector faggotry popularity, lots of people being mostly consistent of greedy normalfag scum
I actually saw a famous toy designer, Stefanie Clark Eskander, who admitted buying repro barbies to resell them high, fucking traitorous cunt who foolishly thinks toys are like stocks that you can buy for cheap and sell for high. Due to that fact, in some cases, especially for relatively new toys, the stupidly high pricing doesn't reflect the true proportions of supply and demand as it was made up by clueless greedy normalfag scum who automatically thinks popular toy equals high price without taking to account that it was mass produced and not that rare. The doll you looking for is an adult collector Barbie made 21 years ago dedicated to special occasion, while it certainly makes it somewhat rare I doubt it deserve more than 100$~200$ top and maybe even that estimation is too generous. Not a long ago I bought 90's playline barbie MIB and she cost even less than 20$! In fact, I've even seen obscure 80's toys MIB costing less than that Millennium Princess Barbie. Let those retards rot and say no to scalpers.
>Was there a rerelease, variant or what?There are two additional variants: African American (as always) and a brunette. The blond one you want isn't even the rarest of them.
>since it's the one collector's doll I was able to ID on sightFor future references I suggest you check Barbie Collector Guide -

>Lilee's collectionWhat?! Can you explain what/who you talking about? Because I have no idea.
>2,770$ for '99 BarbieHoly kek, this retard seller acts like he's selling MIB 70's Barbie.
P.S. Take to consideration that 90's-early 2010' Barbie have growing demand and becoming pricier thanks to the wasteland that is NuBarbie as more people starting to realize it.
>>113154>What fashion doll would you guys recommend for a beginner looking to get into the doll hobby?Though it depends on your preferences, I suggest starting with cheaper playline just to see if you're truly into that.
>do any current doll lines do the rubber clothes thing?There are quite few thanks to the "cheap" blind bag crap trend, the two main ones/long runnning are Capsule Chix by Moose Toys and of course LOL dolls by MGA. There also Itty Bitty Prettys Tea Party Surprise by Zuru, Secret Crush

Holy shit, there is something deeply fucked up going on with these dolls. Pic is from the wiki article for MGA. I also saw multiple articles about one of the dolls, a "rare" Poopsie Slime Surprise, having a phone number on it. Calling led to a phone sex hotline.

You make me want to buy some MIB Barbies from the late 90's/early 00's. Too bad that shipping to my country is almost always super expensive (if the doll is cheap) or there are barely any offers on the doll and so the few available options are expensive as well.

Here is my new Cool Corduroy Barbie, IMO one of the best playline Barbie ever which also put adult collector and playline NuBarbie into absolute shame.
Having the great combination of the best Barbie headmold (aside Francie/Twist'n Turn), Mackie, with the best body mold Shani (which is beautiful modern rendition of the Bild Lilli body) makes her one the most prefect Barbies. Sadly the Shani body is one of the most underused body molds for Barbie, it was mostly used for adult collector Barbie and rarely for playline, later on it became the base for the Silkstone body which doesn't have click knees
absolutely disgusting . I really wish Mattel would bring it back, just add nail details to the hands and feet and give ball joints to the hips and that's it, however with the current QUALITY I doubt it will be any good unfortunately.

So, few things to note; MGA take a lot of inspiration from celebrities which would also means immodest clothing…I found it amusing people are more annoyed at dolls for dressing immodestly rather than actual people which can be role models unlike imaginative toys.
LOL babies, despite being marketed as babies (which is wrong on MGA part) don't share proportions with real babies by having wide hips they're closer to chibis/super deformed character designs.
It's not the first time MGA came up with controversial baby dolls, Bratz babies were by far worse than LOL since their body proportions resemble real babies. However, I must say I did really want and still want Bartz Baby Jade, because I find her aesthetically pleasing like I find the first Poopsie Unicorn dolls pretty despite their fetishes because I can see beyond that.
As for the so-called plagiarizing of some instagrammer, copyrights laws aren't applicable to the fashion industry, only trademark so there isn't any legal problem with that.
Are there pervert toy designers out there? Yes. Are toy companies as a whole are part of some pizzagate tier conspiracy ? No.
Last, but mot least, assuming realistic genitals necessarily mean sexual context is wrong, go see BJD dolls.

No. 114552
>>114465It doesn't matter in the least if the LOL dolls are meant to be kids or adolescents, because they're made and marketed for
little kids.
Also BJDs cost several hundred dollars and are fragile collector's toys, not kid's toys. Apples and oranges. They're made for
adults, so of course they have defined sexual characteristics.
Can you explain to me, if the LOL dolls aren't fetish based, then what's the purpose of hiding tattoos, longerie, fishnets and bondage gear on toys for children? And why not advertise the hidden features so that parents who don't want their kids exposed to that stuff can keep it away from them? If it's so okay, why not be open about it?
No. 114596
>>114590>>114552The price and target audience doesn't matter and affect the sexual context, since if it's did than
>have MUCH more defined genitals would had been true, which it isn't in most cases (yes, most BJDs don't have much more detailed genitals, but since you're not a toy collector, of course you wouldn't know). But even assuming it was true, let's not forget there are other far more realistic playline baby dolls that actually have very detailed and realistic genitals and yet there is no sexual context.
>Can you explain to me, if the LOL dolls aren't fetish basedI already explained but you two, didn't bother to read my entire post and only refer to the "easiest" argument you can counter. So let me explain it again more elaborately; "art mimics reality" - LOL dolls as other MGA dolls are heavily inspired by and influenced by pop culture and celebrities, so instead of venting your anger on plastic figurines, maybe do it on the source of it which is celebrities who dress immodestly.
>>114590>I'm gonna misquote you and add bunch of things you didn't say"So what you sating is…"
>your baby in bondage gear dollBold assumption thinking I own any LOL (not OMG) dolls. Personally, I think they're overpriced blind bag crap and I don't think they're anywhere as pretty as Bratz Babies.

>>114472>I agree, but so many farmers will fight you on that. See: the Danny Choo thread.Let me guess, they don't collect toys and are just there for the drama.
>Why do American toy companies always focus their doll concepts on 'tEeN gIrLs CaTtY'? How is that supposed to make the dolls more appealing?Since the 60's approximately, teens have been considered cool by kids (especially girls) and add to that the whole subcultures of street fashion which just lends itself perfectly to fashion doll line. However, I do find it cringey and boring to the death having high school setting
though as filthy weeb, I wouldn't mind if it was Japanese high school as the main setting (curse you Monster High) which the entire "lore" revolves around.
>>114475>Are they meant to be cross eyed?I think it's the unintentional result of having bubble heads and inset eyes, but it could just be promo pics error as they sometimes happen.
>These are cute, thoughAgreed, I prefer them a lot to their bigger counterparts.
>they remind me of the racers in Wreck-It RalphTrue, I didn't notice that.
>>114503>>114517I was really underwhelmed by this two-pack, it took so long to be raveled only to be disappointing. The Punk Girl look more like edgy Harajuku to me than punk and as for the boy…I was expecting something more in the lines of Bratz boys, but instead we got creepy baby face on fat NuKen-like body, what a letdown.
>It's like this company is incapable of being normalI think it has to do with the fact that Mattel can easily sue any (successful) Barbie-like portioned doll…they sued Hasbro' Sindy doll for having too much resemblance to Barbie.

>>114596>"art mimocs reality">LOL dolls as other MGA dolls are heavily inspired by and influenced by pop culture and celebrities, so instead of venting your anger on plastic figurines, maybe do it on the source of it which is celebrities who dress immodestly. Neither of these points makes it okay to sell dolls with hidden bondage gear to
kids. They don't understand the meaning of it, but the point is to normalize it so that younger kids start copying it younger and younger.
Adults who collect toys aren't the target audience for LOL dolls, children are, and children don't need to be exposed to it because outside of fetish scenarios, people really do not dress like that outside of the media.

I did some woodcarving in college, so I am guessing it's kinda similar? Anyone here has tips on these?
I also plan on sewing some clothes for them myself, as I have a lot of scrap fabric at home since my mom always needs custom clothing.

>>115037Hey anon, mine isn't authentic either, it's factory/TBL. I really don't wanna drop 300 dollars on a doll that I plan on heavily mess with, specially considering that I may get unpleasant results, so I will only buy a Takara authentic when I feel pretty confident about my skills. Plus, tbh, I really like the variety of hair color and styles of the TBLs and their posability. For those reasons, a lot of custom artists actually use TBLs, pic related. This type of hair is fake only (I guess you could make your own wig for an authentic one though) and the body is fully jointed.
For a real one though, I'd recommend sites like yahoo auction, mercari, amiami and maybe even mandarake for second hand options. For brand new, maybe rakuten? I am not completely sure about this, though. Maybe anons that are more seasoned on this could give you a better advice. But for second hand, all of these are pretty viable options.

90's-2000's Happy Meal toys were god tier, I had many complete sets but foolishly gave many of them to my nieces, not knowing the dark future lay ahead for toys. McDonalds noticed the influx in adult toy collectors and tried last year to catch their attention with the 40th anniversary Happy Meal collection, and while I did start to pay attention again to happy meal, the quality and the creativity of the 90's-2000's is just not there.

>>116845I wonder what happened with McDonald's toys? They used to be so fun in the 90's and early zeros. Nowadays even when they make toys from something with a potential, instead of selling cool figures or tiny playsets they make this big plastic crap. Like fake pencil cases, watches or some other bs. Even when they make dolls/figures, they are often of a poor quality. Notable exeption was the one Pokemon collection that was available during that Pokemon Go summer. Some figures were still shitty (they wasted Eevee), but most of them were nice. My fave was Totodile.

>>115023 and my doll finally arrived today and I love her so much even though I haven't tried to costumize her yet. Even my bf think she's cute, although he finds the lack of eyebrows and the head on stare a bit creepy.
Now I am just waiting for my eyechips to arrive. I bought normie ones, but I like how you can get really creative with it.
Not gonna lie, I already want a couple of friends for her. But I am not currently on a steady job so I'll just wait as for now.

Someone posted on /toys/ the new RH dolls, and they are all so cute.
My favorite is the rgb led light gamer keyboard one.
All the clothes are too notch as usual, but I think it's pretty funny that the teal boy one is wearing a jacket, a hoodie and another jacket (or flannel) at his waist. This bitch cold
Hope they release a black boy soon, that would be cute

>>116854>I wonder what happened with McDonald's toys? I have two assumptions: 1. Though the retarded
who would've thought that eating junk food every day is bad for your health! 'Super Size Me' movie which made McDonalds to shift more and more of their resources into making their food "healthy" and advertising it as that. Although came out in 2004 which would mean the change should've happened earlier, I think it took quite some time as McDonalds have thousands of restaurants over the world to operate 2. I was unable to verify it worldwide, but in my country at least, we used to Burger King in the 2000's and then most of the restaurants got switched to some shitty local brand (that of course doesn't have good toys), so I assume there less junk food chains to compete with McDonalds internationally or perhaps that the gap between them got bigger despite both chains gaining more restaurants.
Third reason that can actually be verified, is that toys quality and creativity in general took a nose dive so the standards are lower for everyone.
>>116948>Supersize Me! I believe it's factor too.
>because he lied I didn't know that
>veganMakes believe he is indeed a liar even more
>>116854Oh, I remember I had the two in the middle! I really wanted the others ones with the dress and the swimsuit, I thought they were better than the ones I had.
Not only those old happy meal barbies are better than happy meal toys nowadays, they're also better by miles than NuBarbie.
>Did you guys have any other favorite McDonald's sets?I had many. Although I didn't keep most of my Happy Meal toys, I kept many of the catalogs. Two sets that do come into my mind; calendar set of the Smurfs which I even got it's display from the restaurant and a Snow White set that came with big plastic board that have the same image of the catalog.
>Lego Scala dollsFellow woman of culture!
Scala was the best girl toyline by Lego, fuck Friends, they're overrated shit that panders to boys.
>>117020>/toys/You mean 4chan /toy/?
I think this new wave is a bit underwhelming, their clothes and hair styles seems very similar, either to each other or the previous wave.
I feel ambiguous about the boy, he's definitely far better than LOL OMG attempt at boys. It looks like he might have painted eyes, instead of inset ones which sucks.
On another note, I wish more RH dolls would have straight hair to brush instead of all those gelled curls.

No. 117113
>>117098Ah, I remember those McDonald's toys! I wasn't a big fan of the Snow White one though since I only had the well part and the toy was kind of useless if you didn't have the whole thing… It was still a lot better than most modern fastfood toys that I've seen.
The Smurfs I've adored too, but completely forgot about them until I saw your pic. I used to own Smurfette and Sasette. I remember seeing rastas and metalheads with the angry Smurf keychain hanging from their Jansport backpacks. lol
I also loved the later series of plastic Smurf toys with plush furniture/accesories. I remember playing with it a lot with other kids.
I also adores the G2 playset collection (it was all I wanted from my life when I was 6 lol), the Hercules toys, various Mattel dolls like My Scene or Diva Starz…The Dinosaur (2000) movie toys were also pretty elaborate. I miss those times so much!
>Scala was the best girl toyline by Lego, fuck Friends, they're overrated shit that panders to boysScala was amazing! You have no idea how much I wanted to own the house, as well as stable for horses. Those playsets were creative and so cute! I wish I could buy them MIB, but they are probably rare, expensive and it wouldn't be the same now anyway.
>fuck Friends, they're overrated shit that panders to boysHow do they pander to boys? Like with being more in line with normal lego? I remember people whining in the past how Lego 'for girls' is too different from regular toys. That was a good thing though! I wasn't a fan of the ugly yellow minifigures, but adores Scala and Bellvile. I adored the beach, modern life as well as early fairytale sets (before Lego started recycling ideas). The dolls were the cutest and surprisingly posable (just like Scala).
>>117106I like the Sailor doll, she's cute! The pirate also is adorable. I am not invested enough to buy any of those though.
>>117107I'm surprised to see that Cave Club is still going and even more shocked that Enchantimals is still a thing. I saw recently the giant Enchantimals dolls, really shocked that people are buying this stuff.

>>117174THIS. Also think hard about the focus of your collection! I guess you sort of did since you want to collect MH, but decide if you want to own any specific series, character etc. and if it's likely for you to want to branch out to other dolls.
I would also recommend reading a book on minimalism (like Stuffocation for example) first and thinking really hard if you truly want to collect, even knowing what a drain on your resources it can be.
I am not saying this to gatekeep toy collecting, but I've always had the collector mentality and jumped in without considering the drawbacks. I wish I was more mindful back then and knew what I know now. Keep in mind I do not recommend going full minimalist retard as an alternative, but the general idea is worth thinking about!
Feel free to disagree with my last point though No. 117197
>>117113I also had a few from the hard plastic line, I had Sasette, papa smurf, the smurf with lame cube and the smurf with the lame tennis ball. I really wanted Smurfette and Brainy Smurf.
Scala was the only toyline I ever wanted to complete. I was blown away that I could own an entire kitchen set whereas I could barely get table and chair set from Barbie!
>I wish I could buy them MIB, but they are probably rare, expensiveI doubt that Scala would be that expensive, it was canceled toyline and one of the least liked Lego lines. As I've said before I've seen obscure 80's toys MIB that cost much less than you would expect, so it may be worth to track down if you want some.
>it wouldn't be the same now anywayTrue, you won't have fun with them as you would've as kid, but at least you could own them now.
As I grow up, I noticed Scala had an ugly body so I don't want here anymore as much as I did as a kid.
>How do they pander to boys? Their parts are interchangeable with regular Lego, so they can buy them for that.
>I remember people whining in the past how Lego 'for girls' is too different from regular toys. That was a good thing though!Exactly! Why should girl toys and boy toys be so similar?! It's boring and makes them redundant.
>BellvileI always thought of them as downgraded Scala (who had rooted hair, fabric clothes and removable shoes). The addition of fairy tale/fantasy element was great addition that Scala didn't have.
>I like the Sailor doll, she's cute! The pirate also is adorableI like the sailor one too, but I think the mermaid one is my favorite because she is so different and unique, shame her accessory is a stupid sunglass. I would prefer a clam purse or something like that.
>I am not invested enough to buy any of those thoughThe new ones have removable hats which was something previous waves suffered from. I own two dolls from that line; I mean they're cute and all but don't really feel like they're worth their price point (I live outside of USA so it's more expensive). I'm not sure if I will get a doll from this wave, tbh I'm more excited about the upcoming single-pack teens versions which also have bendy wire inside.
>really shocked that people are buying this stuffCheap garbage for really young girls who don't know any better, bought by tasteless cheapskate karens.
>Really trying to tap into that mentally ill Sanrio sadgirls marketLicca had few collaborations with Sanrio. It will be by far more expensive than the shitty doll line l by Mattel, but it's worth it.
>controversial opinion but I wish My Melody doll wasn't tanAgreed. Don't worry it's only controversial among the tumblrfags.
>Why can't we get something as pleasing aesthetically in the regular collector line?Because Mattel are cheapskate cowardly retards who think they can gain profit without taking risk. I mean even these prototypes don't like premium adult collector quality and we all know, how toy companies in general tend to cheap out on the final product so I imagine the final product would be even more overpriced playline tier like this
>>104622 .
I prefer Barbie desu, but I wish she had the same type of tail fins like Ken. Hers looks ugly, cheap af and not durable.
Ken headmold looks weird, I mean it rather looks like AA Ken headmold than white Ken so that's why I dislike him. Mattel should just go back into doing AA versions of each unique Barbie and Ken.
>>117137>The merman body sculpt is chef's kissIt's the same body they made for that Batman and Superman action dolls that shelfwarmed. I noticed the hands look bigger than those baby fists they used for Batman and Superman. This body is so much better than the MTM Ken, they just need to add torso joint like vintage 80's G.I.Joe and thigh swivel. They could even use it for Max Steel reboot which would be awesome
though Action Man is objectively superior! .
>>117139Just buy toys you really like and want. Don't avoid buying toys because they won't "fit" with the rest of your collection, that way your collection will be boring and not varied enough.

I almost had a complete set of MLP G2, I didn't get the one with air balloon. I only kept the heart shaped box, sadly.
However, I do own some actual MLP G3 ponies.
Your set is almost prefect, I mean they can turn their head and have brushable hair, shame the tail is molded. I've checked and saw there were G3 Happy Meal with rotted both for the mane and tail, however they don't have swivel joint at the neck.
As for the Sonic set, I had the blue one (Sonic) and the red one (Knuckles) and I'm not sure if I had the yellow (tails) one. Even as a kid I thought they were lame (referring to mine), so I have no remorse for losing/giving them.

Overall, I like this doll and she's my favorite of the wave, simply because purple is my favorite color. However, as I've said previously, I think the second wave is not as good as the first one, having clothes and hairstyles too similar to each other and to the previous wave. As for this specific doll, I'm not a fan of the curled hair, it's boring, look exactly like other dolls and of course not brushable. Also, her pants are kinda ugly imho, the second shirt is boring and while the second jacket looks nice is the same reptitive jacket, Violet Willow had, being used for the third time!

>What's your first vs your latest toy?
I've bought/collected cute things in general since I was really young, unfortunately my mattel winx dolls and some other stuff was given away by accident but what I collect now are NIB bratz dolls, y2k care bear stuff (including decor), anime figures, sanrio decor and a lot of stuffed animals (sanrio, tokidoki, peropero sparkles, AMUSE, estherloveschu, hamtaro, etc). think my most recent package was an orange AMUSE 16" hamster plush.
>If you're a collector, when did you start?
used to collect LPS, MLP, care bears, webkinz, ppg stuff, you name it i had it when i was a kid, i was pretty spoiled lol. moved onto anime stuff in high school and in college i got back into buying cute stuff especially when i started working.
>What's on your wishlist, is there anything you're saving up for or something you'll never get your hands on?
still trying to get a full sized collection of y2k era care bears. the cousins are really hard to find in full size, i want bright heart raccoon and gentle heart lamb soo bad. currently own about half of y2k care bears in full size. pic related, i want the mattel enchantix dolls so fucking bad but they cost so much and thats OOB. if only. i used to own all the mattel winx dolls but not the charmix ones, the ones that came with their pixies. unfortunately lost those too.
>On the other hand, is there a figure you regret buying?
i dont regret buying anything
>What's the most expensive item you own?
no idea, probably some bratz dolls i stupidly took oob when i was in middle school and would play with them. i do regret doing that, my mom even told me i would lol. i do have a few dolls NIB that i bought recently though.
>Waiting for a package to arrive?
currently waiting on like ten stuffed animals lol. for now i mostly buy decor and stuffed animals but want to get more dolls in the future. i want to start collecting monster high dolls.

>>118416>What was your favorite toy/line this year?This is coming from a doll customizer, so I focus more on the sculpt and articulation of a doll. I don't have one yet but Rainbow High looks the most interesting, from the inset eyes to the interesting knee joints. Also, the fact that they let Culur design a line is really cool.
OMG LOL dolls are a close second, but the last of knee joints is a big strike against it, but some of the customs of them are really creative. (pic from a google search) And third is Disney Animator dolls, which, again, are really pretty when customized.
>What was your least favorite toy/line this year?I don't follow doll releases too closely, but anything without articulation is meh imo.
>What was your best toy purchase this year?Teen Bratz has a really broad face that gives a lot of creative liberty, and their big hands are really cute. I haven't tried it yet but I bet making shoes/feet would be pretty easy.
