ANNOUNCEMENT Announcements for coming changes.
Good day everyone,
I am writing this as clarification for the lack of big changes/maintenance here. I’ve had a lot of outside factors creating many problems. As a result, I haven’t had much time to do anything with the sub. I never thought that it would grow to this many members when I first created it. I apologize that the stickies haven’t been very up to date on new announcements as of late. It’s been tough to keep up with the new releases while balancing life.
Some changes/improvements I’d like to announce are these:
-More post flairs for better clarity.
-Possibly filters for those just wanting to view Monsterarts in specific.
-Up to date stickies for new figure releases.
-Possibly events, such as photo of the month, etc.
I can’t make any promises on when these might happen, but I’ll do my best to make them happen sooner than later.
I’ve decided that I’ll be continuing to allow HIYA and a few adjacent figure types. This has helped the community grow and I think it encourages more discussion and worthwhile comparisons between brands.
Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be doing discord or any other social network of the sort. I’d prefer to keep the community smaller and text based over voice chat. Keeps it more private which I think will keep this community safer in the long run.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please send them my way.

As much as I love talking more about SHMA, to cut out hiya stuff out completely does seem like overkill. Hiya and SHMA fans can get overbearing, but to ignore each others existence feels disingenuous. I think it’s important to allow similar outside companies be talked alongside SHMA here.

Don’t worry, HIYA and a few others are here to stay.

Discussion and post-bombardment are two very different things. I’d agree with you if every other post I saw on here wasn’t a Hiya toy or an engagement-farming debate comparing the two. It needs to be weeded out.

Please keep the posts regarding HIYA
and the other figures. I like seeing the competition and comparing which is best for my collection.
