Bro, that's bizarre googly eyed creature from Figuarts is the Mascot for the Japan 2025 World Expo. It all over the place here in Osaka. Posters, Billboards, T-Shirts, Plushie toys. This dude is currently Dominating the country. Thanks for another fun video man!
@WompaStompaCyn2 күн бұрын
Chinese companies just casually decided to show up and change the entire action figure game. The only thing Goodsmile, mafex, and Figuarts have on them is licenses, and seeing these companies get DC and Ninja Turtles I gotta wonder how much longer that's gonna last.
@arthurchen64642 күн бұрын
Yeah they've been cooking quietly for a few years now, and most of their stuff was og IP like maestro union animorphs or Xesray gladiators or 3rd party unlicensed stuff like all the Warcraft stuff from the various studios. It won't be long until their quality becomes so high and production smoothed out that license holders start directly working with them. When that time comes JP will have real competition. Even their original anime girl stuff has seriously leveled up with the things Snail Shell's just shown. I'm on one of the bigger JP collector news sites and their stuff generates a LOT of hype among JP collectors. So there goes one of the last advantages figma/figuarts have on CN toylines.

Yeah unlicensed figures can have a good price point and quality ratio that most licensed toys just can't touch. Unlicensed 3rd party offerings are the future imo.

Great coverage of what’s on the horizon. Snail Shell is really making a push with all these upcoming figures. That lady pot character is bonkers. Also, I’m really curious to see what Storm Collectibles is up to. Funny how Jada threatening to drink their milkshake got them pivoting to true 1/12 and not just making 7-8 inch figures and labeling them “1/12”

Jada and Storm 1/12 SF figs can certainly co-exist. Jada's seemingly moving on to SF6 once the last Ultra SF2 fig drops with Storm doing SF Alpha. $95 for Monsterarts Dark Magician: a 7-ish" scale figure that only comes with 8 hands, a scepter, a pair of effect parts and a stand........not a fan. Hopefully Snail Shell with I:P Masqueraina and Kaiyodo with Number 39: Utopia can better justify the price........and viewing this video made me remember that Mezco's doing an Exodia........at least I'm sure it's the main Mezco team

It only changed once the Sengoku Jidai started where effeminity was discarded in favor of a rougher/manlier Samurai look ala Miyamoto Musashi and Honda Tadakatsu.

@LewisChristisonVids2 күн бұрын
All these smaller companies are really killing it! I already preordered the Snail Shell Mummy Zombie girl. Those Ninja Turtles do look amazing. I think one big factor is that Neca/Super7/Playmates/BSTAXN has to adhere to a particular style; (comic, animated, live action, a preexisting toy) while these new ones are their own take, so you can design them in a way that makes for great figures. Glad to see Frazetta Girls has several other figures well on the way. Speaking of which, when are you going to drop your Teigra review? Wish Hasbro would have kept going with their Power Ranger line. Sure the monsters weren't always suit accurate, but that was one of the few places to get weird monsters for under $35. Maybe the Anakin looks off because they're trying to do 2005 Hayden, 2023 Hayden, and cartoon Anakin all at the same time and the end result looks weird. I hope someone cosplays a live action Eclipse ❤
