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!

[@ArticulatedNinja]

@@DisplayingModelBehaviour always appreciate you Dave thanks 🙏🏽

[@WompaStompaCyn]

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.

[@arthurchen6464]

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.

[@Uguguabbabaa]

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.

[@Uguguabbabaa]

@@arthurchen6464 I'm not really big on the snail shell figs but they definitely look nice and their amount of toys they just showed is unreal and a testament to their success.

[@RAMENTOY]

Thank you once again for the shout out Ninja, and in general, bringing us all the news.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

@@RAMENTOY All the amazing products you guys are dropping you earn the shout-outs/exposure.

[@schadenfreudeind]

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”

[@ArticulatedNinja]

@@schadenfreudeind thanks shad as always for dropping by and showing support in the comments and sharing 🔥 your wording about Jada and the milkshakes made me laugh out loud.

[@aram5127]

That BCA collab announcement felt so fresh. Really great way to both sell a figure and do it for a good cause!

Yea true thanks aram for sharing your thoughts

Mety Toys is on fire, can't wait for those TMNT figures and tiger. They might make me cancel my Super7 ones. Great video!

legit same boat not sure what I should do

[@peter.24.7]

I've got to wonder if Mety has gone back to the original comics for these designs. They're not as stylised at the comic character but damn they really remind me of the original Eastman and Laird comic.

Exciting times indeed!! That tiger from Mety Toys is fiirreee. The monsters from Nottaa and Romankey are beautifully sculpted and the ones from Snail Shell are making me cry 😅

I feel like Metytoys is coming to drink Mythic Legions milkshake

[@LewisChristisonVids]

Fortunately, I think due to other companies jumping in, and all the 3rd party parts, Mythic Legions has been picking up their game in the past few years. Though there are still several things they're behind in.

What an awesome variety of action figures! What a shame the economy seems to be teetering on the brink. Let's hope we can get the economy turned around.

[@Synthetic_Strigiforme]

Dude, that Captain America looks absolutely sick. Leaps and bounds better than anything Mezco or Mafex has put out. It's also refreshing to see a company actually include guns with Cap for once. Now I just need to figure out where I can preorder one.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

storm Collectable's larger sized figures look great and would be wonderful in displays and dioramas with the larger figures used as monster type characters. (I don't have any, but they look cool at the larger sizes.)

Memory Toys is the top tier of figures, not only are their sculpts beautiful but they give you accessories for days and you can take off their armor for soft goods. I only have their Red Orc Bounty Hunter but I'm getting every single TMNT figure. For real.

[@marvinonstage]

The Elusive Samurai is a DUDE! I watched the show and still thought it was a girl in the 1st episode, but nope a dude. Also thr figure look 100% accurate thr thr animi style of the cartoon with all the bright colors.

[@dustinsimoneau4780]

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

[@miragebangbravern]

Just gonna inform ya, Tokiyuki is a dude and based on an actual historical person. And the weird SHF monster thing is Expo 2025'S mascot

​@@ArticulatedNinjaNp and he is popular for "reasons" apparently, lmao

[@flipkiller8521]

​@@ArticulatedNinja Funny thing. In Ancient Japan (especially the Heian period where Tokiyuki was born in), effeminity in males was highly valued because they believed beauty transcends genders. 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.

JUST got to the section about Memory Toys/Meaty Toys, so don't know if you mention it yet or not, but I REALLY want that barbarian tiger figure. I think it'd be a fitting tribute to my current house tiger. But a can't find it available for pre-order anywhere, as yet.

[@radicalgear391]

I can find plenty of army buildings and mechs(bandai, kotobukiya, 52 toys, armored puppet, etc.) but I’m having trouble finding generic articulated monsters to flesh out my displays. Gashapon bugs and beasties kinda scratch the itch, but I’d love something more monstrous. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

[@uncardedreviews9721]

I was most excited about that live action Pandora 👏😂🎉

[@BadAssXerx3]

a few days ago I saw some pictures from that asian figure convention from a company that mady some interpretations of the Dark Nights: Metal evil Batmen, showing off The laughing one, Red Death, Devastator and Dawnbreaker, sadly no Drowned or Merciless yet but they looked fantastic.This female Pot could be a friend of Alexander from Elden Ring

[@FigureFever]

Very happy to purchase the Valavere pink female steel brigade figure. These creature figures look incredible indeed. Yes my bank account and I will have a long talk lol. Great recap on these releases Articulated Ninja. 🙂

Definitely appreciate Ace for the Shangai livestream. I was lucky enough to catch it live. Memory Toys is absolutely killing it. Snail Shell. Hiya. Man, welcome to bankruptcy, starring us.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It seems likely that Storm Collectables is moving into the 1:12 scale for cost cutting reasons. A smaller scale for them means less plastic and that means lower costs.

[@flipkiller8521]

Cost-cutting done right.

[@dannycruz5446]

This is just a subline, they're still making the larger sizes figures.

Great video as usual Ninja (always make it to the end 👍🏾)! You're right that we're in the greatest time for action figure collecting. So. Many. Options. So. Little. Money (and space). Think I might finally be able to break my Marvel Legends habit (and hopefully not my wallet) with some of these figures. Those Mety Toys Turtles are 🔥🔥🔥 and I want them. Depending on pricing and availability they may make me cancel my Super 7 2003 TMNT pre-orders.

[@PCFDPGrey]

The BBTS Mythic Legions Dragon figure is Stavros the Unwavering. Mythic Legions articulation arguments aside, I would HIGHLY recommend ordering this guy. I have both the blue and green versions of this sculpt. They are fantastic in those terms. Also, Stavros has the advantage of being an extremely limited production run. My advice is order him. He's a great figure for the price, and would fit in well with your other anthropomorphic figures. And, if you wind up not liking him, you can always resell him to another collector. I have a feeling this guy is going to be sought after.

[@78pts.of.articulation]

Big love my dude!! THANK YOU

[@itsdantaylor]

10:27 To my knowledge that is a new 'Buck' Body from Romankey X Cowl. They are making a more......comic? proportioned male figure? Which yes, looks like a bearded superman. I also think they are releasing a similar figure but in a more 'hulk'? size? At the very least it looks more.........'pro wrestler' then comic book hero.

[@MWai880]

Look out to these three companies, they have HUGE potentials: Mety Toyz (Memory Toys) Romankey Fury Toys

[@woodyderp3816]

24:43 Literally me

[@LewisChristisonVids]

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 ❤
