Welcome to OneSixthFigures!
We hope you will find this a pleasant and inspirational environment for exploring the world of sixth-scale figures and related items. The forum was established on March 30, 2018. My fellow founding members, DeltaForceChung (RIP) and Rogerbee have kindly consented to help me as moderators; since then the moderators have changed to include Stryker2011, blackpool, and Diana. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Please take a moment to read the basic information below.

Please keep in mind the terms of service provided by Forumotion:
https://www.forumotion.com/terms-of-service

Forumotion and the owner and moderators of this forum are not and cannot be held responsible for any private communications and arrangements between forum users (including in the Classifieds section), including any part of these posted publicly. We urge users to behave honestly and transparently and take appropriate precautions when communicating or making any transactions with others.

Forumotion and the owner of this forum cannot and do not assume any responsibility for what users post, but discourage any offensive, inflammatory, or inappropriate content; users are asked to report such content to be considered for deletion by the moderators, lest the entire forum is impacted negatively.

Please exercise sound judgment and a respectful attitude in your posts. Do take into consideration what would be in good taste.

General behavior -- please be respectful and polite, even if disagreeing or annoyed by someone else. Do not escalate and poison the atmosphere of the forum in either public posts or private ones, or beyond the framework of the forum. Inappropriate posts may be deleted at any time. Repeated or egregious offenses against policies, other members, or management may result in a member's suspension or banning, with or without prior warning.

  • Do comment on postings (feedback is always appreciated), keeping it civil and constructive.
  • It is in good form to look around and comment on other recent topics too, when posting a new topic of your own; do not be self-centered and expect encouragement without giving it yourself.
  • Be considerate for people's loading speed and the forum's data usage and do not overload posts and replies with too many "heavy" items like GIFs; when quoting, do not include a whole string of photos from a post, unless you are commenting on something very specific in a specific photo. Moderators may prune such extra content.
  • Please do not duplicate entire posts and significant sequences of images across topics or subforums. Instead, if necessary, provide a link to the original posting. Occasional reduplication of an image or two where it comes up to address a specific point is a different matter. Moderators may delete or edit duplicate content.
  • No bumps allowed without actual new content or responses. Even then, consider also commenting on the most recent half dozen topics/threads or so, or risk bad karma.


Adult themes -- this is not an "adult only" forum, so keep your posts "safe for work." If you do want to post something that might be considered a little questionable, please begin with a few clear disclaimers (e.g.: adult content, not safe for work/NSFW, etc) and for anything that might be slightly more explicit use a link instead of posting an image on here. That said, this is not the place for truly explicit material. Inappropriate or irrelevant posts or topics may be deleted at any time. Our host Forumotion's policies include a prohibition of "content of a sexual, obscene, pornographic nature," and lack of compliance with this policy could result in anything from deletion of specific post to the shutting down of the whole forum.

As a basic rule of thumb, visual content posted in the forum must conform to what is public beach appropriate in Europe and America (since that is where the sites are based); nude images posted for informational purposes (for example the action figure body modification tutorials) should be digitally censored as necessary (e.g., blacking out genitalia, female nipples, etc., with opaque features). Another way of expressing this general guideline is the maturity rating PG-13. For anything more adult-themed, please remember to use disclaimers (e.g., NSFW), as suggested above, and use links for anything more explicit or sensitive. Sexualizing underage-looking characters is not acceptable. Generally, please do not post or link anything obscene or pornographic, or otherwise violating the Forumotion terms of service (linked above).

Political humor -- we love it, until we hate it, because we do not always agree completely. To keep the forum from being infiltrated by the toxic nature of current political "discourse," the management regretfully reserves the right to delete posts at its discretion at any time. However well-intentioned, this is not the place to promote any social or political ideology or other divisive content.

Sellers -- we love shopping for figures and accessories, but this is not the place to promote the products you have in stock as such: this forum cannot vouch for any seller to its members, and it is a place for discussion rather than selling. If you wish to honestly and informatively review and showcase a product and happen to include a link to your site as one that sells it, that is certainly fine, in General Talk (if sixth scale), or in Non-Sixth Scale Action Figures (if not). For some selling purposes, the Classifieds section may also be appropriate. We remind our members that we can in no way assume responsibility for such postings, and to exercise due diligence and sound judgement.

Postings in infraction of policy may be deleted without warning.


If you feel overwhelmed by the number and eclectic character of posts, consider searching for the keywords of your choice either through the search field or through hashtags (you can even specify hashtags to follow in your profile). A non-exclusive list of common hashtags can be found here:

Hi guys. In response to a request to approve our forum's first classified ad (which we did), we have added the following disclaimer to the Forum's policies. (This message is only highlighting what is in the longer document above, and will be removed later.)

Forumotion and the owner and moderators of this forum are not and cannot be held responsible for any private communications and arrangements between forum users (including in the Classifieds section), including any part of these posted publicly. We urge users to behave honestly and transparently and take appropriate precautions when communicating or making any transactions with others.

After some discussion on the real or potential effect of some recent posts, we have updated the Forum Policies with the following expansion/clarification:

Adult themes -- this is not an "adult only" forum, so keep your posts "safe for work." If you do want to post something that might be considered a little questionable, please begin with a few clear disclaimers (e.g.: adult content, not safe for work/NSFW, etc) and for anything that might be slightly more explicit use a link instead of posting an image on here.
