 Cheap Toys
Seems like everyone's caught on paying high prices for what really is just a toy, I felt the need to showcase the little something that's all about fun and value.
This is a Revoltech figure named Danboard which, as u can see, is a little guy in a cardboard suit. Fairly articulated and the cool gimmick is the switch on the side of its box head that lights up the eyes. Stands around 13cm tall with overall great QC.
It's one of those figures that u can actually play with and not worry about damaging the paint or smudging the gloss or depreciating its worth, blah blah blah... How much did this cost? Around $25, shipping included.
Feel free to share your favorite fun & cheap toys!

yep - kinkotsuman means something like bones and tendons man... he's the opposite of kinnikuman (meat man or muscle man)
banpresto has been making a few kinnikuman characters like that lately

Yea Revoltech is a brewing storm. They're innovative and can portray more characters than any other line of product. What's could be next? Revoltech Kaiju??

The Marmit Cryptozoology finger top series. I got like 30 different figures for under $50.00 shipped from YJA. I would provide a pic, but I'm not at home.

I love ALL toys........except sex toys........they don't seem like a whole lot of fun. Not to be a hippo, shouldn't this be in "Show your collection?" Whatever, I don't care.
Here's some cheap stuff I already have pics of:
This guy just looked too killer in blue and neon orange, I know he's from Conan the animated series, but that's it. I forgot most of what I knew of that show, I did use to watch it though.
Mutagen Man from TMNT, they had the best villains and packaging art.
Pulsar Man, probably the priciest of the bunch here but I got it for a bargain since he didn't come with his clothes or anything. The blood in his guts pumps when I hit a button on the back, I need to get the others in this series, Gre-Gory a bat with guts, and Hypnosis (?) his arch enemy.
Here's a blurry group pic of some other awesome junk I'm too lazy about to write about
And some killer Halloween masks I recently got for a buck! Masks can be toys, right? I'm Americas Next Top Model in it btw.
This last one here is my favorite:

I think posting this in the "Whatever" section is the safest bet cuz it's whatever right?

My brother and I were going through boxes of stuff int he basement at our mom's this past xmas, and we found all our old masters of the universe and tmnt figures, including mutagen man! We were both like "clear -- with guts!" and busted out laughing -- this was after watching toypunks and both of us thinking that mutonismyfriend is the funniest dude in the world. Actually, favorite line from toypunks:
"... if you know anything about Cap'n Crunch..."

Recently I was rummaging through my parents attic and came across tons of MOTU, GI Joe, numerous unidentifiable toys, and then several of these guys:
I believe these were "Battle Beasts" if I'm not mistaken. The only thing better than cheap toys is free toys!

Hahahah yeah I had actually grabbed all of our old Battle Beasts last year from mom's basement, I have a few dozen of them in a box two feet from me.  Licensed from Takara I believe. I even have a bunch of their weapons still.

Awesome, man. I knew someone else had to have some of these guys, too. I didn't find any weapons, but I did find a blue vehicle that resembles a shark. He unfolds into sort of a playset, and I'm sure he was Battle Beast related. Sadly, the extreme temperatures of the attic have rendered the heat activated chest decal of the 'Beasts totally useless.

my family growing up were poor so i didn't really have much. i did have a raphael figurine and two action men though. i found it in a box like two years ago but some mice or something had got to it hahaha. i went to buy one of the new figurines and got it home only to notice the back has a huge yellow splatter on the back, obviously got through 'QC'.
any english peeps (maybe released in the US too) remember 'monsters in my pocket'?
