I understand the decision to move to a larger scale and am really glad the creator is doing well - but I would have bought 3 or 4 more of the smaller line as is and more if they came out.

100%. They were so unique to the scale and I immediately lost interest when they switched. I'm enough of a scalefag to have my interest piqued soley on something being 1/18.

pretty impressive how close to the paint master the factory sample is.

It looks good but time and time again I'm let down by this line. I don't really like being negative about it but it's just the reality. Since the dragon is an all new figure with an all new body type there's no way I'm going to take the plunge until reviews start happening. If it's not bad paint with these guys its bad engineering or breaking parts or having 50 POA but 40 of them barely have any movement etc. It's like all the pieces are there for this to be my favorite line ever but they can barely ever get their shit together. I have 3 or 4 of the little desert raptors with the armor pre ordered, I really hope they have worked out the armor kinks by the time those get made and ship, reading all the issues with the allo and some of the other ones to first get their armor has been a huge bummer.

1/18 is so fractured

I want to collect more but its just difficult for certain themes

Joytoy covers 40k, okay check
Hasbro covers SW, okay check
…those are about the only complete and numerous lines available at retail

Hiya does joes…if you like joes they seem to be at least completing it.

Acid rain cover some futurepunk military but releases are sparse and import only and they moved to 1/12

MGR was supposed to cover historical military but no updated moulds or bodies

BFS was supposed to cover fantasy but they too seem to have moved to 1/12

All I want is mythic legions style large releases, lots of future promise, big collection of fantasy figures. Is that so much to ask for?

Why is 1/12 showered with numerous figures?? Literally every obscure theme or property has a 1/12 figure its crazy.

>>11685662
I'm gonna be honest, you sound like someone who doesn't actually collect the line.
>issues with the allo armor
You mean the ones they apologized for and are offering replacement with the updated parts?

I think most of your complaints are highly over stated, but they're expensive, so I'm sympathetic to being cautious, especially given that the line is always a work in progress. Comparing my Daspletosaurus to my Allosaurs shows just how lacking the Tyrannosaur line was when it came to usable articulation in the legs and neck and only two of the Tyrannosaurs have gotten replacement part kits to fix the neck and ankle issues. Plus, while I love my smilodon, the elbows were a 100% a bad idea because they limit the articulation way too much.
The breaking parts thing seems like mindless whining though. CB always is always quick to replace any defective parts and posts about it all the time. When my A. jimmadseni had a crack in the neck they replaced it immediately and they are offering total replacements for the Allosaurus armor now that the fixed armors are done at the factory. I've seen had no isuess with the my Smilodon or Achillobator armors and I dont think I've seen anyone posting about them in any of the usual places, so it mostly seems to have be an issue with the Allo armor and that's it.

Post anyway. We're all here because we like looking at stuff.

>>11685671

MGR will announce the next wave of Vietnam figures soon which already have improved articulation including a barbell neck joint, thigh cuts, and rocker ankles.

As to why everyone moved to 1/12 I blame marketing and the ACBA. Before the algorithm ruined everything IG still had a decent toy photography scene the ACBA tricked everyone into thinking they were the subject matter experts so people tried to emulate their style which prioritized (mostly domestic) 1/12 figures and companies like Hasbro responded because thats what people were buying. Which is retarded because now they're all hurting for playsets and vehicles etc and like, that's exactly what the fuck 1/18 is for. Its stupid.

However, there are still things I look forward to like the female MGR Vietnam figures and Dime Novel Legends will finally put out Native Americans.

>Hiya does joes…if you like joes they seem to be at least completing it.
Those figures look nice and everything, but they're not really worth the money being asked. If Hiya wanted my business, they should do versions of all the characters that were confined to expensive exclusives like the SDCC, and FSS characters. One of the things that piss me off to no end is how Sgt. Slaughter and Zarana were relegated to SDCC. Desert Scorpions are a troop builder, but they were only available through the GI Joe Club single carded. Thing is that all this characters are now available at mass retail through Classified, but somehow they weren't viable as 1/18th?
>MGR was supposed to cover historical military but no updated moulds or bodies
I've met Marauder John at NJCC a few times. We've talked about him making this item or that item, but he said that he simply doesn't have the resources to make everything that he or his customers want.
>BFS was supposed to cover fantasy but they too seem to have moved to 1/12
People complain about Erik and Catrina, but I don't know what's going to happen with Andrew in charge. Not to mention that BFS has made a lot of decisions that alienate their fan base like making Flash Gordon, Phantom, and Tarzan figures, but not continuing the line despite announcing a bunch of figures that people were looking forward to. It also seems that the quality has gone down on newer figures with the latest knight wave having arms break right out of the packaging.

That was a salvage of the original idea to release him as a mech suit pilot with the Minotaur Mech (Alpine would have been his wave mate with a rescue focused mech)

honestly it seems crazy to me that we haven't gotten anything like that. I know Bossfight has some knights and a couple of fantasy creatures, but the lack of an actual dedicated line is kind of crazy. Maybe as Joytoy moves more into the land of Age of Sigmar figures, we'll get some real fantasy stuff from them, but I hope they do stuff from Warhammer The Old World since the Total Warhammer video games are so popular.

man looking at Joytoy's Age of sigmar figures, they've only done one elf and 4 Stormcast Eternals. They really are not churning them out like the main Warhammer line

>tfw Mythic Legions was originally pitched as a 4", Glyos-compatible line, but then MoTU fags bitched enough to get them to change the scale.
That last part may not be accurate, but the scale change worked for 4H. I don't know that the line would still be here if they went with the original 4" idea.

I love the PGV girls, they literally revitalized my love for the scale in that period after Joe ME ended and other lines were barely doing anything. I wish I had room to really mess with my 1:18 stuff, I have this old beat up barn I'd love to convert into my girl's little headquaters.

>>11683760
I too would love to take more pics of my stuff, but my issue isn't lack of caring...it's like of time, space and energy. My advice is to try and enjoy what you can while you can, because the older you get the harder it is to do the things that make you happy.

Seconded. I've shilled Acid Rain for years but I would no longer recommend buying OriToy era figures. They haven't held up with age and are either crumbling or gooing and the astronauts were delicate enough when they were new.

>>11691081

Planet Green Valley Tanya with black hair and a bun which I've only ever seen elsewhere once. She usually comes with a braid. The body and hands are also PGV but the jacket and arms are from a Zombie Lab figure which is on the Vitruvian HACKS system. In fact, Boss Fight sells other figures with the same molds. The cowboy boots are from some other HACKS figure I cannot name as I got them from Vitruvian Armory which I recommend for loose BFS parts.

>>11691857

Planet Green Valley is starting to release their astronauts --- hence the name. Both Planet Green Valley and Acid Rain World have lore that they don't do much to promote so its easy to forget about.

Any of you own the joytoy gladiators? How are they compared to the 40k line quality wise and size wise compared to the Tyranids?
