Nice write up. They did the most with the joints that they could without breaking the sculpt of Nidoking. A lot of Pokemon have that same issue. They way they are designed just doesn't lend itself to putting joints in all areas. So many have super thick and short limbs, armor plates that cross over were joints would naturally go on a figure, etc.

Nice, gona repost your pic so it's easier for others to see. Looks like a good dex size height next to Red.
>it seems like they’re very unwilling to add articulation that would compromise the sculpt, or the continuum of the lines. While a waist or pec crunch/swivel would have definitely added a lot to this mold, it would break the lines of the belly “armor.”
I feel like this is one of those designs that could get away with a cut because of the natural look of armor. Jazwares gave Dragapult and Garchomp a body cut and those didn't have a natural segment like Nidoking does. Of course on something like Charizard it would be too glaring and no company has put a cut there.

Either makeup or special effects. The MC of the trailer is a broken, tired MA man who's tired of the 9 to 5 grind and has no joy in his life. So they needed him to look the part. What I find funny is the guy seemingly has friends and even a female neighbor who really likes him.

Tomy in Japan is re-releasing all of the starter MonColle Figures in special 30th anniversary sets.
The packaging looks pretty nice. Shame Tomy doesn't have the license over here or else we'd probably get them too.
I don't know what Jazwares will do but i hope its something nice. I thought the silver figures for the 25th were kind of a dud and the pearly painted ones have lost all appeal since they do them all the time now for the holiday calendars and evolution multipacks. We definitely need some legendaries but the question is can they get them in market quick enough.

Jazwares really haven't done mythicals have they. There's basically the Mew and it barely gets repacked. It came with the Mewtwo battle feature figure and that was basically it. It would be cool if they finally got around to doing Celebi , Jirachi, Shaymin etc. I like how Jazwares figures float with the clear stand and you can plug like a figma stand into something like a Jirachi

Might get some of the UNIQLO depending on how it looks. Their stuff is usually pretty good. I really like their sweaters and pants. The Adidas stuff also might be good but I haven't really liked their collab stuff in the past so that kinda eh. Hopefully it's not some really ugly yellow and brown Chris Chan shoes. The McDonald's collab will probably just be cards which is whatever at this point. The Lego stuff has looked bad so far.
>lame mini scale set
>Sold out pre order badges
>Ugly Pikachu
>Ugly Blastoise and Charizard
Only good looking Pokémon are Venusaur and Eevee. Not looking good for this collab so far. Hopefully they get some actually sets out at some point. Would be cool if they recreated sections of routes or cities from the games with mini figs for npcs and player characters.
>>
>>11678033
It would be cool if they did premium paint versions of these instead. Would actually have value if they had a cool water color look to them like the old Tomy toys. Could even use metallic paint for highlights.
>>11678023
These are great. I have a few of them. They scale really well with the Figma and figurearts trainers.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>11679872
Depends which. Most the 2" and 3" are fine. Most the 4" are super crappy and have features that don't even work. The 6" are hit or miss. Some are great and some are really bad. The Epic 12" figs are less articulated and mostly good, but nowhere near 12" tall or long usually. Most are like 7" or 8" tall or long.
Many older figures have bad paint jobs. In the last year or two they have changed where they are made and most newer ones have much better paints. So try to find releases from the more recent waves if you want the best paints.

If Blokees did make those it would be no different than if Moncolle made them. They'd be far too small to go with other figures. Unless they make another new Blokees line to make them huge, they will just be the same size as others

Agreed. If we're talking about a line like Zukan or Scale World, then obviously the scale matters but for an articulated line so long as the general size is considered I don't need exact sizes replicated in Blokees or Select. I would love to see select figures of, Kyogre and Groudon to go with Rayquaza. I don't need them to be in the Epic line. Though I kinda wish we got better articulation in the epic line.

Considering we're just now starting to get some SV Pokemon (and not many at that) I think it'll probably be another year or two before we see anything remotely like the new Megas. At most, maybe something like Mega Lucario Z or something.
We've only gotten a few Megas anyways from Jazwares and its only been Charizard X and Y (which is coming in the next wave)

Chinese companies slowly started to build their ways into licensing. I believe the first time they got the license for their own Pokemon toys was with those foldable pokemon that you could put inside a ball and that was like 2017. Then in 2019 I remember pic related being a bit popular over here, it looks like a bootleg but it was licensed. I guess they got tired of producing for everybody instead of doing their own stuff
>>
>>11682132
I prefer Tomy style figures over articulated ones because all the seamlines become really obvious with Pokemon's simplistic designs, but it's always shillmons, and Jazzwares sculpts are too inaccurate for me. I don't want a complete dex, i just want my obscure bros.

When it comes to Galar it's mainly missing the legendaries which basically don't exist. There's a good amount of regular Pokemon to put with Gloria though. You have Rillaboom, Cinderace, Boltund, Toxtricity, Dragapult, Sirfetch'd, G-Ponyta and you can steal Raihan's Duraludon. There's a bunch of small obscure figures including stuff like the whole apple line, Zigzagoon, Perserker and Darumaka. I think the Pokemon that's really missing is Corviknight.

Sculpting looks good. The face is giving weird vibes for some reason. The size of the Tomy one will still be better though. All these Blokees figures need to be taller to go with the Tomy articulated figures.

I liked it better when each of these bBlokees figures were about $20. They went up each wave and now that these two recent ones are part of a different line, they went up even more in price. Nidoking is still around $35 at the cheapest I think.

Uh oh TPC could potentially fucking end Blokees' pokemon life. IM NOT JOKING
The story: 2 days ago Pokemon announced that they would held an event at Yasukuni shrine Tokyo (a shrine dedicated to people who died in the war, it contains a lot of Class A-C war criminals like the ones that did you know what to korea and China) That basically enraged a lot of chinese people and the controversy has been spreading rapidly. TODAY I received a mail from blokees itself, as I was one of the top three contenders for the 2025 BFC contest. They are canceling the display of pokemon images for the contest, meaning that I would probably lost my place. They also said that they don't know If blokees would be able to support the pokemon brand in the future so they hope we (the contestants) can understand why pokemon content is being restricted and that they hope it being just a temporary thing
....what the fuck lol I really hope this don't end that bad

It really sucks to be that person that was a top three contestant. Imagine something really random like this happening and losing your spot. I think it'll blow over after a a while and people will forget about it. From what I'm reading now they already cancelled the shrine event and Pokemon has issues an apology saying it was a mistake.
