What was your hardest toy to get to stand up? - Page 2

~~Leatherhead1984~~ · 08-16-2004, 11:15 AM

this isnt a turtle toy, its a knock off transformer of devil gigatron. and his feet are so loose that. I had to tape his feet to my bookshelf to get him to stand. that also goes for most of my spawn toys.

New Casey jones and ralph just keep falling of the shelve

*Spitfire* · 08-19-2004, 02:57 PM

My Wyrm and Space Usagi are drunk and always fall over. Thats why I have they in vechiles and my Splinter(From the movie 2 line) well he always falls off the shelf. He seems to do it when Im not looking evrytime. maybe my toy wants to commit suicide

*zkarlette* · 08-19-2004, 03:10 PM

Maybe casey and ralph like to tick each other off and fight on my shelf, who knows

What bothers me is that sometimes they knock down other figures too

**Kali** · 08-19-2004, 04:06 PM

My 2003 Foot soldier has to be leaned up against the shelf. Some of the others can stay standing, until a good breeze comes by.

True story: Back a few waves ago I had placed my new Foot Tech Ninja at the back of the shelf, and Leonardo was near the front. (The others were placed in various positions around the shelf.) One afternoon I noticed they were both gone. Both of them had fallen onto the floor. I understand how Leo might, since he was at the front, but the Foot Tech? From the very back of the shelf? So I picked them up and noticed that they were locked together, like they'd been fighting.

Still haven't figured that one out.

Lol maybe some little kids came over and played with your toys?

TMNTGal · 08-19-2004, 05:09 PM

Kali's story proves toys really do come alive when you're not looking.

I've had that happen a few times as well.

avervisal · 08-19-2004, 06:43 PM

Aiyah just like Toy Story and Chucky....creeeepy

OA · 08-19-2004, 08:50 PM

I sometimes get the feeling that my Megablok Casey's eyes are following me....like hes watching me....

avervisal · 08-19-2004, 09:40 PM

lol i can't say that i share the same feelings that you guys are experiencing...that would be pretty creepy though if your toys came alive while you slept at night...although then again it'd be cool if they were like your guardians or something

TMNTGal · 08-19-2004, 11:33 PM

I am kidding of course. My cat recently knocked down my MOTU and SW figures. SW figures have such little feet that it's easy for them to fall over.

I wanted to start photographing my army of Foot Ninjas to post them here. I was about to finish putting the last one in place, then one of them falls over and causes all the others to fall too. I spent all that time arranging them for nothing...

Snailman · 08-20-2004, 08:34 PM

Hmmm...not many problems with the old figures for me, the new Foot Soldier isa pain in the butt & the Battle Gear Don figure- oh my god. He can't stand up at all. It's impossible to do. WHY did Playmates give them such abnormally large holes for their feet? If the holes were smaller I could use other stands to have them stand up. Maybe I should just drill 2nd holes for 'em?

Well that's can't be possible in my room. I have so many toys if they all moved it's sound like grand central station upstairs.

So needless to say all my figures are going stir crazy & will flip out at me once to leave so they can move.

Teepo · 08-21-2004, 08:47 PM

i'd have to say the new foot soldiers.
i haven't had too much trouble with the fightin gear figures.
i don't really remember havin too much trouble gettin any of the old figures to stand. certainly not as much as those new foot soldiers

*cowabunga14* · 08-22-2004, 02:47 PM

My hardest figues to stand up were the vintage Rhinoman and Chrome Dome.They had funny legs.

I still play with the figures but I have 'em lean aganist something when I don't play with 'em.

a little non-TMNT toy ranting

I've also been collecting some japanese toys based off of anime shows, and other than the realization that a lot of japanese toys are cheap pieces of junk (other than the Trigun: Planet Gunsmoke figures, which are friggin awesome and put the McFarlane Toys version of Vash the Stampede to shame), there is one toy in particular that frustrates the hell out of me...

I bought the figure of Haruhara Haruko from FLCL a while back, and not only was it fairly dinky in size (not as small as the oldschool 80's G.I. Joes, but still small), but her damn arms keep falling off!! And to add insult to injury, she absolutely will not stand up on her own. Thankfully she comes with that Vespa shooter of hers, so I just prop her against that...

the Kanti figure on the otherhand can stand on his own pretty well, but he has so many points of articulation that I usually pose him sitting in a "lotus" position, like a robotic Buddha... he sits in between my Skeletor and my Buddy Christ, acting as the pivotal balance of technology between good and evil...

I love getting philosophical with my toys...

*zkarlette* · 08-23-2004, 03:05 PM

Now, the new guardian is giving troble on the shelf

Mine to along wiht my Foot Tech Ninja who now decides to fall over alot. Casey Jones is being retarded as well

*cowabunga14* · 08-23-2004, 04:30 PM

Casey Jones has been pretty easy for to stand up.Especially in my TMNT Lair Playset.The Foot Gunner's legs move clockwise or counterclockwise which is kinda silly.He falls down sometimes.

Usagi'sChick · 08-23-2004, 06:42 PM

For me:
The chick from Movie III Mickey had a crush on...Mitsu? She's always falling over while holding her bow.
April (Movie III) isnt the best either.

*zkarlette* · 08-24-2004, 03:34 PM

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH my God
