    Kinda a random question but, is there anybody making 3.75 in Gi Joe ripoff figures? Looking for original characters with the same sort of articulation as the vintage joes.

    There's a figure set at Toys R Us called Real Heroes but there all 4.5 inch figures.

    Walmarts carries some weird figure off brand called The Corpse Elite figures if you got one close to you.

    You can also get Acid Rain figures which are 3.75 but they are really expensive figures.

    Thanks! Just got all the repro stickers on him. They're not exactly like the OG, but I don't care that much~ I'm happy with it! The toy itself is in beautiful shape.

    Muy bueno, Rei! Very nice work on those stickers. I thought he looked just fine before, but now he looks brand new! A stunning beast of a toy to tower over your shelves. (are you in the midst of a mass re-organisation there, or is that overflow? I am having flashbacks to High Fidelity)

    Indeed, my place is in a constant state of movement, with too much happening and not much planning going on! My toys are witness to a life of complete subjection to spontaneity...

    More of my toy-crack. Love this character, from his name (Drift) to all of his space-samurai incarnations.
    Also this Prime (MPP10 from Wei Jiang). The toy itself (unlike the character) is not American, as I got it from China, but figured I'd throw it in here just because I'm so excited about it. An amazingly well-done "knock-off", it is superior to any other Transformer I own. Excellent paint apps, die cast parts, rubber tires, solid construction and improvements on the original MP10's sculptural features make this one of the finest toys I own.

    ^^^ @rattanicus That one isn't half bad at all! This particular series i have not been to fond of. I think its the lack of meat on the purchase that keeps me away from them but this particular color scheme is badass.

    These are brand new from Mattel. Im normally not a fan of wrestling figures of any type but these were actually pretty damn cool. They remind me of the late 80s-early 90s mutant figures that were popping up in the kids market for toys.

    The old WWF maximum sweat figures are my favorite wrestling toys. They looked so crazy over the top really helped to add to the surreality of it all.

    It's all attitude era figures. So the line consisted of:
    Shawn Michaels / Kane / Big Show
    HHH / Road Dogg / Bad Ass Billy Gun
    Undertaker / Ken Shamrock / Big Boss Man
    Gangrel / Edge / Droz
    Stone cold / The Rock / Mankind
    I think that's everyone there was four waves and a metallic KB Toys wave if I remember correctly.

    Dude I loved them I still buy new ones on eBay every once and awhile so I can complete the line. That said a lot of people talk shit about them which sucks. I would
    Love got them to bring the line back. It would be awesome to see legends and newbies alike in this style. Maybe not make them sweat just make them intense and over the top as hell.

    People who talk shit about stuff like this forget what it's like to be a kid. Seriously.

    You are not wrong. To this day playability in sofubi matters to me. Like I enjoy a fun sculpt but if it doesn't look like an 8 year olds dream/ nightmare to some degree I lose interest I think.

    Iv only bought Living Dead Dolls from this company so far but i might start collecting some fo the 1:12 stuff they make. A lot of the designs they are coming up with are fantastic for the toys they make.
