Can Toys be "Good Design"I'm studying Industrial/Product Design because I wanted to go into the Toy industry. One of the concepts in the course is the idea of "good design". Dieter Rams is famous for his 10 principles which are: "Good design is innovative, makes a product useful, is aesthetic, makes a product understandable, is unobtrusive, is honest, is long-lasting, is thorough down to the last detail, is environmentally friendly, and is as little design as possible." Google it for a clearer description. This is a great list for products or tools with purpose but not really for Toys. Toys don't aim to be unobtrusive or as little design as possible, they often try to be the opposite. Instead of trying to achieve timeless universal design they're usually trying to ride the current trend or use superfluous gimmicks to sell. I love toys, so I think that there can be examples of good design in them, but I'm starting to think that the industry is more akin to something like the fashion industry which tries to satisfy individual and group expression instead of the masses.

Someone else did this thread ages ago and I loved it, so I keep it alive.
This isn't about composition, or art or honing your craft. This is about coming home and playing with your toys, snapping a quick cell phone snap, digital camera picture, mimeograph, anything.
Show us how you play with your toys, how you have them set up, the little stories you make with them, anything you think is cool. and talk about toys in general.
This is for the love of toys and all who actually play with them.
To quote The Shoveler : "We're not your classic superheroes. We're not the favorites, we're the other guys."
So if you love your toys, you love palying with them, you want advice on what to buy, feedback on your figure play story, how to paint then, or just want to take a quick snapshot of a cool pose or scenario and d it for the sake of playing and not to be put on a gallery wall, if your heart is with using your toys as toy instead of relegating them to statues in an endless milieu of plastic corpses, I say bring them down, play with them and post it here!Star Wars General: Cashing In on YeedLast Thread: >>7890357

This isn't about composition, or art or honing your craft. This is about coming home and playing with your toys, snapping a quick cell phone snap, digital camera picture, mimeograph, anything.
Show us how you play wiht your toys, how you have them set up, the little stories you make with them, anything you think is cool. and talk about toys in general.
This is for the love of toys and all who actually play with them.
To quote The Shoveler : "We're not your classic superheroes. We're not the favorites, we're the other guys."
So if you love your toys, you love palying with them, you want advice on what to buy, feedback on your figure play story, how to paint then, or just want to take a quick snapshot of a cool pose or scenario and d it for the sake of playing and not to be put on a gallery wall, if your heart is with using your toys as toy instead of relegating them to statues in an endless milieu oof plastic corpses, I say bring them down, play with them and post it here!
Or "playin' with yer toys general"
Whatever floats your boat.

https://preorder.super7store.com//motu/-Masters of the Universe GeneralMasters of the Universe franchise is coming back! Next year we get a new toy line, a new animated series from Netflix. She Ra gets more seasons and toys. And we get a new live action movie in 2021 either for theaters or Netflix. Discuss.No titleWhy do some companies insist on caking everything in paint when they clearly don't have the knowledge or budget to use it properly? Do they not understand that for the vast majority of cases, plastic colour will do the job?
The worst offenders I can think of are McFarlane (pic related) NECA and Squeenix (though in their defence their figures would look great if they even remotely resembled the promo pics).No titleITT: Only the best playsetsNo titleSince these molds haven't been used in about three decades now, I suppose it's safe to assume they no longer exist?
Shame. Cool toys. Lanard should totally remake the Galaxy Warriors, since their entire MO is budget alternatives that can be cheaply made.No titleSoulless vs SoulNintendo General: Dry Spell Continues EditionRecently Released: Nendoroid Beam Kirby Link's Awakening Link amiibo Squirtle amiibo Ivysaur amiibo Solid Snake amiibo

Are there any relatively cheap figures like this you recommend? Or is the real body-kun worth the price?Toy-related art/postersDumb question, but is artwork & posters depicting toys much of a thing, outside of hard-to-find promotional posters from toy companies?
As popular as nostalgia-driven Mondo posters are, you'd think new posters about old toy lines would be more of a thing, especially checklist-heavy toylines like the old Star Wars Kenner stuff.Daibadi/Polynian General: Cop That Cant Be Stopped EditionWelcome back once again everyone! As most if not all of you know, Officer Kelly is now up for Pre-Order! Go ahead and place your order if she happens to strike your fancy. We are also waiting for the wonderful Motoroid Marilyn to grace us with her presence. Who's excited to add another motoroid to their collection? Who decided to skip ol' water rescue gal? Who's waiting to see how the QC turned out?
For figure news, as previously mentioned, Officer Kelly is now up for Pre-Order, set for a Feb. 2020 release. This month should also see the release of Marilyn, so for those of you who ordered her, be on the lookout for those payment requests at the end of the month. Following this, October brings Amy and the face packs and eye decals. Release dates for these are still unknown at the time.

Some rando person's online shop is selling EP.1 Luke Sabers or maybe just saber for like $29.99 or Special versions for $39.99.
I guess what idea is that they had a bunch of sabers and sold them at full price, now only left with the most generic saber their selling them off for cheap.
This a scam though right? cant find any review on this person's site, other than of course on itself. Or is it just some re-seller website just trying to off load there stock they got from a storage locker?No titleName some good 1:12 (legends) modern military lines.

If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Sometimes I have this crisis. I live in a poor country, but I have some money and a good job. And sometimes when I pay 60-80 USD for a toy (now multiply that for 5x in my local currency) I think "damn, I could have done something else than spending in a plastic toy."
I have lots of toys and sometimes I just wish I could sell them all. Other times I think that I would be unhappy without my collection.
But I keep dreaming that they will release my favorite characters someday and I keep collecting because of that.
How do you deal with this feels? Have you ever realized that we are spending money (and lots of money) in toys? Have you ever sold an entire collection and bought it back? Let's discuss.Animal/Pet FiguresWhat are some good animal figures that exist that can be used as pets for other figures? Let's discuss.Military Toy BrandIm trying to figure out the name of a military toy line from the early 2000’s. From what I remember it consisted of tanks and planes that came with a figure or two. It was like a scaled up version of micro machines where the little guys could actually fit inside the cockpits of the planes. The only image I have to go off is the one attached; a Chinese MiG. The picture is of a model, but I had a toy plane just like it from this line. If I remember correctly the tanks and planes and red, spring loaded missile launchers. Any help figuring this out would be appreciated!Robo Cats Resque MissionI found these robo-cats on flea market for 3 euros for both. I was amazed by how insanely creepy they looked i instantly wanted to save them and fix them so they would awake from a thosand years of slumber. It appears that these are Fur Real Friends 2006 cat that is also known as a cat made by...SEGA...exact that sega. And price for them goes up to 100+euros new. I dont want to sell them though, i simply want them to be alive again. So here in this thread i will be 1) cleaning them so they will shine with their snowy-white fur again 2) clean their battery sections so they can use incoming power supply again 3) try to fix their limbs so they can move and seek for joy/3pg/ - Transformers 3rd Party General - AftermathPrevious thread >>7876557
Get any good finds? Still waiting on last minute releases before the year ends?No titleSo did Lucasfilm just grant this company a permanent perpetual toy license and anyone who subsequently bought it, or is there something I'm missing?Transformers General: that jeep editionCan't wait for the Hound repaint!No titleI caved in and ordered CHINK Keanu Reeves from aliexpress. He'll arrive in about 2 months. What I'm in for? Were my 20 dollars of my regional equivalent wasted?Dales & DealsWith the shopping holidays coming up, let's get this shit started ahead of timeJurassic Park: Meh-Tell EditionStar Wars General: Klaud Save Us AllLast Thread: >>7884756
Mandalorian continues to get worse with each new episode, and we have a scant two weeks until Rise of Skywalker embarrasses everyone on the big screen. One. Last. Time.
So how about those toys! Well, if you can find something that isn't the first wave of Vintage, you'd be fine. Black Series 6" Ceremonial Luke wave is hitting in larger numbers. ROSS, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning are all choking on Last Jedi and Solo stuff.
A few sales here and there, but nothing to write home to mother about. Hyperreal Vader is already dropping in price, making sure that line tanks quick as possible.
It's the end of the year and things are lackluster as can be.Play arts kai/Bring arts generalHello, I heard many stories about this line made by square that involve qc issues, awkward joints or horrible sculpts but some of them aren't bad so what's the best from both shit lines ?What Do You Do With Your Boxes?What is the best way to deal with figure parts and boxes? I used to just keep the pieces with the boxes but this is getting out of hand. What do you do? How do you store your boxes and parts?No titleYou get yours?Kaiju General: Still waiting for Gigantic 2019 editionPrevious thread: >>7835609
By the way, you guys suck at making new threads.South Park Beanbag dollsCan somebody tell me what I found in my father's attic. My father was a big South Park fan and when cleaning out his house, I found these in a drawer. It was insanely dusty and a wood chunk ripped the plastic but other than that it looks pretty clean.No titleITT toy-related Youtubers you've lost all respect for because of their own shitty behavior
>posts video on restoring old beat-up Action Force HISS Tank >ops to repaint a Destro because he can't be bothered to pay for the Action Force Red Jackal version >someone in comments tells him ruining a vintage Destro is not only ruining a toy getting harder to find, but a custom repaint isn't really filling a hole in his collection >AT gets immediately furious, "how dare you tell me what to do!" >Toy Pollio of "don't thin or seal your paints, douse your toys in flammable liquids to clean them" pops in, "it's funny when people have opinions that aren't mine" >Retardblasting shows up, starts cursing at the poster as he's far beyond any professionalism at this point
Retardblasting never had my respect but the other 2 went from "I enjoy them" to "fuck these assholes" in an instant.
If some channel owner hates critique, they should disable comments instead. It will spare their feelings.
>COPPA will do that to every one of them in 3 weeks
Good. The Youtube comments section has never been anything but poison and these "toy collectors" act like they're buying fucking Ferraris or Harley Davidsons.
....really, Toy Polloi? Lighter fluid?No titleWas browsing through my old toys today and found pic related. Anyone knows the name of the brand? Should be from the early 90's. It was pretty similar to lego, but the blocks seemed cheaper and more flimsy.No titleWhat is your favorite toy reviewer?
>Two smaller-format, permanent Toys R Us stores are about to open. The first debuts Saturday at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, New Jersey. And a second will open in early December at Simon Property Group's The Galleria in Houston.
Honestly, I don't see how this succeeds. Dress up the in-person shopping experience all you like, they need to get their online strategy locked down before they open their doors. Having a website that redirects buyers to Target is an embarassment.No titleGenuine question: Is there any other toy/figure company making products similar to 3A's? I never bought anything from them but I checked their site recently and saw that Ashley Wood left to make accessories and now the 3A website is down (which is a shame because I liked rolling through the catalog.)No titleWhat are some features you liked as a kid that you still love today? I loved the he-man power punch feature. I loved any action feature that didn't effect the articulation. Like, Clawful's snapping claw. He's definitely one of my favorites.
Also Modulok for the customization aspect./sbgg/Shitty Board Games General
Talk about shitty gimmick board gamesFashion/Other Doll GeneralA thread for discussion of fashion dolls including Barbie, Disney, Wild Hearts Crew, LOL OMG, She-Ra, DC Super Hero Girls, Living Dead Dolls, Licca-chan etc but not BJD.
Other toys considered dolls as well as girl collectable toys that are related to dolls or can be used as accessories to dolls are also welcome such as LOL, Capsule Chix, Shopkins, Polly Pocket and the like.
Old thread: >>7857693/dg/ - Demon GeneralLet's see some of the coolest demonic action figures that you like.WALL-EAre there any good WALL-E figures? Not absolutely WALL-E himself (though I do imagine he's the one with the most toys anyway) but any character from the movie. I've always been curious if there's been like, poseable and detailed toys of them, or at least good quality plushes.Vintage ToysDo any of you collect vintage stuff from the 80s or 90s?No titleYou know it makes me wonder, how would one get a job at a toy company? I barely know anything about the designers behind the toys themselves, let alone what they had to do to secure their positions. It seems fascinating to me. Like... what would a toy company even be looking for from a new toy designer?
