>extreme levels of paint detail and sculpting even if the proportions were a bit wonky at times
I miss them /toy/...

>>11521958 (OP)
Maybe not actually dead, but everything they built their reputation on is dead, all they care about is turtles and weird nostalgia licensed now. It’s a slap in the face to all the horror fans that supported them for years.

>>11521970
Honestly the worst toy company around these days. I have bought 10 or 11 of their figures and 7 have broken out of the box or immediately.

>>11521970
reissuing old toys from 20 years ago with no upgrades at 2025 prices is the most insane thing. hope they die soon

I miss resaurus. Their unreleased Duke and Quake figures looked great.

>>11521983
Then you're a liar or retarded as fuck. Because that does not happen.

>>11521986
It's not insane, the toys don't magically get cheaper to make, and they do have upgrades to them. They're not going anywhere any time soon.

>>11521970
Their reputation? Bro they're doing the same thing they've been doing when they began. A successful Beetlejuice and Gremlins toy line? They're doing a shitload of different licenses. Nostalgia is -literally- all they've done all this time, and it's why they're a force in the market still. Your crying about TMNT is laughable, too. The original first issue figures came out in 2008. They're allowed to keep making shit. There's nothing they haven't done or keep trying to do as licensing allows.

>>11522258
Uh oh the shill is here. Im convinced this guy actually works for neca

>>11522263
I'm convinced you don't collect toys and exist to cry and whine about everything.

>>11521988
>>11522250
Everything they made was fucking amazing and had great sculpts and accessories, I loved these guys.
The only downside was that even for adult collectables they were way too fragile.

>>11521970
All the lines they started and ended after a few releases. I remember seeing people hyped at TF2 but they never even released a whole team roster. Same issue with Borderlands.

>>11523493
Borderlands didn't sell. Stores only wanted Claptraps, and that's what they got. And yes they did release a whole team for TF2. The video game toy market is more volatile than anything else.

>>11521958 (OP)
Isn't the joke that they couldn't pay the factory for all the tooling they required

>>11521988
Palisades and Toybiz were the fucking GOATs of the 2000's. I miss both of them dearly. Bumping with an obvious choice.

I still miss these guys, came out with awesome, varied Dragonball figures for low prices, those IF Labs super detailed paint/sculpt figs with a diorama for $13, some head scratchers but no other company has been as good(Jakks distribution sucked cock, too many LEs, barely found any of their figs and the ones I bought fell apart because of the shoddy construction, then just look at BoA Dragon Stars, you get what, ONE new figure a YEAR?!)

>>11523509
Kenner was the best. Tapping into the market of kids who watch rated R movies was genius.

>>11523523
I wish we could get a company like that again. Lanard was really close and they got assblasted by walmart over the lockdowns.

>>11521970
>the make the last """articulated""" figures of classic Jason

Grim...

>>11523559
>>the make the last """articulated""" figures of classic Jason
>>if we have new figures from another company, they will be based in the new design
The current roster of jason figures arent the last of the classic designs figures im sure of it and theres nothing to stop a new company for making old design jason toys either

>>11523585
>he doesn't knoe

>>11523596
What dont i (knoe)? Explain it plz

>>11523602
Assuming you really have been living under a rock, just google Friday the 13th legal battle

>>11521970
The most onions company in existence. I have more respect for Funko collectors.

>>11523616
I know of the legal battle but thats been going on for like a decade now and merch has still gotten to be made

>>11522255

>>11523641
Yeah because you're a loser troll.

>>11523559
Sounds like you don't know how to pose a toy dude.

>>11523523
I'm still baffled Lionsgate didnt attempt to do as much with John Wick. John Wick is way overdue for a kiddy cartoon and toyline.

>>11521970
hope jada replaces them

>>11525201
Why? Because you're a petty dickbag?

>>11525215
no, I'd just like to see someone else try their had at that niche, a domestic with a variety of licenses.

>>11525201
Good news! They never will.

>>11525201
Jada is an incompetent company that can't get their toys into stores. They aren't doing shit, least of all taking on a better company like neca.

>>11525503
>NECA
>Better company
Better than what? Funko? NECA is pretty bottom of the barrel, dude.

>>11525509
No they aren't. But you're going to keep trolling like you have been.

>>11525513
Stating that NECA is a bottom of the barrel company isn't trolling, anon. It's just stating the truth. NECA's figures are poorly engineered, have horrific QC, are at a stupid scale that only works with other NECA figures, cost way more than they're worth and for a company that prides itself on accuracy often fumbles the ball with that (Grid Alien's tail, unpainted netting on Predators because NECA is too cheap to sculpt a netless body, etc).

>>11525524
It is trolling. It's not the truth, not in any reality your swiss cheese brain exists in. So let's see... No they aren't, no they don't, your complaint about the scale is incredibly stupid and is at the root of proving that you're just trolling. No they don't, and you still bitching about Grid Alien's tail when literally every company has released it like that proves you don't know anything about toys, toy history, or why things are done the way they are done. And you thinking that a company can just make new bodies all the time? Yeah, you're a moron. Look how "good' McFarlane is doing from doing that shit. It catches up fast, dumbass.

>>11525530
> No they aren't, no they don't,
You have to actually back up your arguments. Just saying "No they don't" doesn't prove anything other than you being a sensitive pissbaby over people not liking your favourite brand.
>your complaint about the scale is incredibly stupid and is at the root of proving that you're just trolling.
How so? NECAslop is too big to look good with most other toylines.
> No they don't
See above.
>and you still bitching about Grid Alien's tail when literally every company has released it like that proves you don't know anything about toys, toy history, or why things are done the way they are done.
So none of them got it right. Gotcha.
> And you thinking that a company can just make new bodies all the time? Yeah, you're a moron.
One new body. That's all they'd need to make for like, half the Predator variants. But no, they got lazy and just didn't bother painting the sculpted netting.
>Look how "good' McFarlane is doing from doing that shit. It catches up fast, dumbass.
"At least we're not McFarlane" is not a great indicator of quality. But hey, at least they don't break out the box like NECA.
NECA is not a good company. I am not the only person who knows this. But just wait, you'll abuse false reports to try and get everyone who disagrees with you banned like you always do, won't you?

>>11525538
Reality proves everything. Everything you say is wrong and always has been. You vomit up the same stupidity over and over.
Again, you're wrong and apparently autistic. No other toy collector has an issue with mixing figures.
You're wrong.
You're wrong again and should never run a business.
And oh hey, look, you said the troll phrase you always, always use. Once again proving you've never handled any figures before. NECA is a very good company, and you are a sad little troll.

Because they don't buy NECA.

Pathetic.

>>11525553
So again, you're relying on your trolling. Even going back to using a troll image that you've reposted SO many times, that's what's actually pathetic. You are only here in bad faith. You're a troll.

>>11525556
>An image of a NECA toy in a discussion on NECA toys is a "troll image"
OAH HA HA HA HA HA HA

>>11525559
There is no discussion happening, it's just you trolling like you came here to do. And yeah, the image you posted is a troll image, because that's your intent. That's always been your intent.

>>11525561
Explain how it is a troll image. Go on. I'm waiting.

>>11525567
Yeah, see, you don't want a discussion, you want to troll.

>>11525572
Answer the question.

Still sad how one of the ankles on my Pyro broke under its own weight, even with a stand. I still have it around but I basically had to glue it back in place.

Are mattel still a thing? They used to be pretty based back in the day with anime figures like Zatch Bell and Shaman King for example. Sometimes their stuff looked goody but they'd do figures of characters Japan never even got figures of.

>>11527215
Oh wait, mattel are the ones who do Barbie and stuff aren't they? Guess I asked a dumb question then lol. They definitely aren't as great as they used to be from what I can see from a little googling. Unfortunate.

And yet, they're STILL in Target & Walmart. It's almost as if.....nobody cares what you cry about, NecAnon

>>11527330
No it's just another troll like you. But you're too dumb to realize that.

>>11521988
Gone, but not forgotten…these muppets sets were the best, I wish I’d gotten more like the owner of this collection.

>>11527369
Derp

>>11526141
???
The TF2 line had prominent QC issues throughout its run. No need to suck a company's dick just to make excuses for them when I have plenty of NECA figures that turned out perfectly fine. Fuck, I bet you don't even own a single TF2 figure and just love talking shit out of your ass.

It's interesting how one mentally ill person can completely ruin a slow board. Do the jannies even try with him?

>>11528045
>Do the jannies even try with him?
No, but they love to abuse their ban authority on those they disagree with and those who call out trolls. This board has lost so many users its down to a small handful now.

>>11528045
Who are you even referring to?

>>11528045
I'm pretty sure he exchanges sexual favors for preferential treatment.

I also miss final faction.

Mattel makes wwe and motu and monster high, they are still a thing.

How does NECA do it?

>>11528169
Dunno, probably because everything you said there is a lie or just dumb trolling.

>>11523485
Could say the same about McFarlane and NECA. Especially NECA.

>>11525567

>>11528176
Except not Neca

The death of final faction genuinely depressed me for months. You can still find some on pegs nowadays, and Greenbrier has even attempted a spiritual successor in those rescue hero looking guys, but its just not the same. Seems like every cool toyline we get nowadays gets cut short or gimped somehow just as it gets really good.

>>11528213
>>11528220
Dude, you’re just talking out of your ass at this point. Not everyone is your boogeyman. You two should just exchange email addresses already so the rest of us don’t have to witness your stupidity.

>>11528273
>The death of final faction genuinely depressed me for months
I didnt like final faction that much but ive been massively depressed for similar reasons. I remember when the grossery gang action figures were cancelled by moose toys i was so depressed. Alot of the things that upset me the most are things most people would consider trivial so i cant tell most people just how deeply those things mean to me or else theyll tell me to get over it and suck it up or laugh.

There is truly no greater hell than falling in love with a hyper specific toy form factor only for said form factor to fall out of fashion completely a few years later. They've taken it all from me and the availible substitutes just dont hold a candle to yesteryear's releases.
