The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

"No, Timmy! You already have a cat and action figures at home!"

*** *** ***

A bit of delusional daydreaming based upon a friend's joking comment at a wee private board. What might a licensed action figure might resemble based upon my stupid OC&Cs (original characters and concepts).

Abbreviated Credits

Melody (catgirl mesh)...Lady LittleFox (DAZ)
Jumpsuit...Billy-T (DAZ)
Padded vest...LittleDragon (a friend)
"Clay" type hair props...MayaX (Renderosity)
Blister pack...MrSparky (a freebie)
Cartoon drawing...me
Space freighter...me
Stellar background (SpaceSphere)...Coflek-Gnorg (Renderosity)
Oversized letters...me (using text modeling functions in a 3D modeler)
 
Hasbro is a bigger mess than some of us think or even thought. Hope for the best.

I'm all for company diversity, but I really wonder if this is a good path for them. Hasbro has mainly been toys, and I think it would be good if they can get back to a better quality and price range for those without cutting them out entirely. It kind of reminds me how Toys R Us disappeared in the U.S. because they got taken over by crappy management that basically ran stores into the ground.

It's also one of the problems with some companies becoming potential monopolies by acquiring other brands, and then not knowing how to handle them. I used to play MTG more regularly years back, but I remember Wizards doing some crazy stuff at times that alienated aspects of the player base (sometimes with genuinely good intentions, but terrible execution :rommie:). In some ways it's seemed weird to see MTG variations with other properties like LOTR, which is its own universe. Just seems like an odd mixing, like when we had Marvel and Star Wars crossovers with Transformers. ;)

Fantastic. I love it. I would do this for some OCs when I get more in to it.

Damn, Hasbro. So frustrating.
 
We're getting yet another box design for the 6" Black Series a little later this year, starting with the Walmart-exclusive Mandalorian Nite Owl figure.

I have to confess, I watched The Waltons for the first time on MeTV a year or two ago, and I actually really enjoyed it. I had no idea they made toys for it. Those figures actually weren't to bad, although I am a little disappointed the horse that came with the barn was a generic brown horse, instead of a grey mule like they the show.
 
We're six days away from the reveal of Hasbro's next Haslab crowdfund toy, which we've already been informed will be a Vintage Collection item and a lot of us are speculating will be a 3.75" Mos Eisley Cantina Playset.
