Social Toy Collectors Thread

Saw an article on Apple News about Zelda anniversary and the "huge" thing they're doing is selling miniature Zelda weapons/shield in Japan candy section. No idea how small, and curious if they'll work for 1/12 scale or 1/18 scale. The pic had maybe six different items.
 
Thor's one of the strongest. What happened to make him start wearing armor?

I read a DC/Marvel JLA/Avengers 4 part limited series is being reprinted.

He commonly wears armor (or bracers) and when he became "King Thor". He had to wear a full suit of armor back in the day because the Enchantress(?) broke all of his bones and it was the only thing holding him together.

Don't forget that a pissed off Hulk could still stomp a mudhole in Thor. Thus, the armor.
 
The 80th Anniversary Alex Ross Thor head was perfect as is. This Maximum Thor looks like Odin had sexual relations with LoTR uruhkai or orc.


Yea, it's not on my list...

Marvel legends Man Thing is in the birthday pile for my birthday next month as I saw it reduced and asked my hard up Uni student son to get it for me .

Sunday is a toy fair nearby and possibly a comic shop that is on the bus route home after it if I fancy it and still have money ....


Put this together yesterday, Lego bricks but not a licensed product... topical with the new game coming out. Not a bad build, herb 🌿 isn't great but it works..

Wanted to see what I thought before going to the same brick fest in March as to whether I might purchase from them again. Answer is , yes I would if they have something I want and the price is decent. I don't remember what I paid for it tbh but I think it was on the website for around £73 or $98 US which is overpriced. I don't think it was that much last year... although it includes free UK delivery.

Seems a bit small for $100 US. How many pieces?

Not a huge number and a lot of it is the small fiddly ones in the tube on the left .

There's 50 in there making up the green tubes .

I think I paid £45 or so almost a year ago but it was at a fair, possibly the rules/prices are a bit looser there than recorded on a website...

The other thing is it feels a bit flimsy initially, it's lots of long grey pieces and large black flat bits and they only connect to one stud and it isn't until they are overlapped a few times the lid and box feels sturdy. Lego normally doesn't have that feeling to it like it will come apart so easily. It didn't, just the impression I got.

It was also done and mostly finished quickly ( sounds like a wife complaint about me ..) apart from the herb .

Yeah, I've become spoiled with the off brand stuff I have been getting. For that $98 I could get 2-3 sets, each over 1000 pieces and more fun designs. Licensed stuff is just too damn expensive.

I don't think that is officially licensed, it's a guy in the UK and a small business he runs . That's probably contributing to the costs, he designs it and buys the bricks but not at any huge discounts...

I got a good laugh out of this one:

For those not familiar with 40k, that's a wearable plushy version of a Power Fist, one of the more powerful (and, in true 40k fashion, over-the-top absurd) melee weapons in the game. It's a just a huge fuckin' fist that makes for very big BONKs.

I'm sure NOBODY ever says "You're about to get fisted" using it.

got the new SHF Scarlet Spider (AtSV). figure looks dynamite, but the midsection/ab-crunch area has extremely limited articulation, which is a bummer. going w/ plastic for the hoodie, rather than soft goods, makes the most sense cosmetically, but the trade-off is having much worse posing possibilities
