>>11676835Wow wow wow, we get adidas?
>>11676847Just posted this, damn.
>>11676848Nice 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.
obligatory post$650 starters$200 pikachu$60 eeveeother two are limited stock "free" gift with purchase to get you to preorder the sets
>>11676863>mfw only want the "gifts"Fucking lego
upcoming
KANTOOOOOO
>>11676868Ah, they're the midlife crisis sets.
If they arent willing to make minifigure-scale playsets with molded pokemon I would much rather have stuff like pic related than those atrocious giant pokemon sculptures
>>11676838>i've seen some shit...
>>11676838Robot chicken sketch looking ass.
>>11676872That's at least charming
>>11676865That's a pretty good lineup of non G1 mons
>>11676838This looks like shit. We don't need to keep posting it
>>11676838>Joy Man>No JoyDoes he even lift?
>>11676848Nice, 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.
I bought that ldcx infernape, quite surprising that you can find them in aliexpress at $10-15 same with keepley while blokees it's rising their prices. I guess that's the price of popularity
>>11676864if it makes you feel better they both use stickers instead of prints. fuck stickers
>>11676868>>11676871Well, they know their demographic, at least.
>>11676944I have Red, I’ll post another pic tonight.
>>11676944>Looks like a good dex size height next to RedNo, it's pretty small. Nidoking is short but this looks way too short and non imposing next to Red or other Figmas
>>11676835When will Jazwares reveal their anniversary line?
>>11676863TAKE MY WALLET
>>11677056Anniversary line? What did they do for the 25th?
>>11676868>all those OLD peoplewhat the fuck...i'm 39 but i dont look like an "old-OLD o l d" person...the guy on that video looks like grandpawhat the fuck anonsAnd i still feel like i'm 17...i know it's because im a 4channer needbut stillpokemon generation is not that OLD
>>11677062Jazwares didn't have the license for the 25th, did it? Wasn't it Tomy?
>>11677064Stress will age you faster than anything
>>11677064this is you
>>11676944Nidoking would make a better Select or Epic, for size alone
>>11676863How do I get the badges?
>>11677051>>11677074It's near perfect for a standard dex size one. The Blokees Lucario is the perfect height next to Red or Gloriia.
>>11677085I know, I just want a big king
>>11677083you had to buy the $650 starters set but they already ran out of stock. will cost hundreds in the aftermarket
>>11677090>you had to buy the $650 starters setThat's a lot but I can do it> but they already ran out of stock. will cost hundreds in the aftermarketFuck
>>11677072nah i'm one of those "generic bearded white guy that is a gamer youtuber from 2010s" zoomers in general age like milk (to the point it's a meme already) because their generation is full of stress and junk foodI grew up during the "kid generation" and never tasted Energy Drinks till i hit 20+>>11677069I think it's because that video was made during current trend of "ugly actors" that have weird or specific unique look (for example the new Superman actor is what i mean).I mean...come on.what the fuck is that guy's age.
>>11676865I'm more curious to see these sets
>>11677066I don't recall Jazwares doing anything for the 25th but 2021 might've been that Wicked Cool Toys to Jazwares transition phase and they had nothing ready going into the year. Tomy did the mythical thing for the 20th.
I really do not understand aliexpress, it always says 1.8 or 3 dollars but when i try to pay it says 8 dollars (without shipping)
>>11677108>>11677066Thank god. Anniversary releases just prove that they suck. Jazwares released the Select line instead
>>11677116First purchase bonus etc
>>11677120It says summer sale
>>11677066Jazzwares had just bought WCT I think. They did all those chrome figures and plush and started the 6" line that year
>>11677089I feel you anon. I’d just say it was an Alpha and be done with it.
I'll definitely get a blokees machamp if they make oneI can't believe I spent so much money on those f'n d-arts
>>11677414>blokees machamp if they make oneThe person who reported it is one of the two who has a proven track record finding and leaking things on discord so Im sure its real.
>>11677121fell for the bait and scam, or something
>>11677414I want Machoke instead, we already got Tomy Machamp
>>11677108Ugh, I read somewhere Japs don't celenrate 15th, 25th, etc like we do. They celebrate 10th, 20th, 30th, etc. So maybe that had to do with it, 30th will be big.
>>11677600All they did with the 25th logo was the plush and the 3" figure line that they've kept going on until now with different things like translucent, metallic, etc
>>11677600these ones
>>11677557This. I know the eventual Jazwares Machoke will be abysmal.
>>11677619>>11677621oh right. I forgot about these, but mainly because they didn't get in the way of regular releases for once
>>11677108>>11677119I think 20th line was nice, wouldn't mind if Jazwares did Legendaries for 30th.
>>11677090I hate scalpers
>>11677064Either 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.
>>11678023I actually won't be surprised if Jazwares just do something like this but they add Gen 10 starters and paint them in a more shiny paint.
>>11677790Jazwares 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
>>11678023If only they were all gloss-coated again, they'd be worth buying
>>11677093If you are 39 you are at prime denial age, bonus denial points if you still dress like you did 20 years agoI guarantee you if someone put you in a kind of unfashionable boxy suit, bowl cut, and tight close up of your face you'd look old too
>>11676939This is canon, btw.
>>11677090>>11677092Already being presold at $300+ on ebay lmao
>>11676865I hope these mon playsets will be scaled appropriately
>>11678189>I guaranteeyour opinion was already retarded, anon. No need to make it worse
Fucking hate lego shitters, we already had weird people here in these generals but at least you knew they cared about having a pokemon collection. Now it's flooded with retarded memeposters
I REALLY want a Blokees of [insert favourite pokemon here]
>>11678540falinks, i agree
>>11678526Please elaborate I'm excited to hear it based on what you quoted
>>11678023Metal paint or gtfo Tomy
>>11678538True
>>11678033That's metallic paint anon
>>11678538>Now it's flooded with retarded memepostersholy based
>>11676835Might 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.
>>11678033It 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. >>11678023These are great. I have a few of them. They scale really well with the Figma and figurearts trainers.
>>11678023Nice
Are jazwares toys good quality? I'd like to start a collection of multiple small pokemon
>>11679872No, but it's all we got in some cases
>>11679872Depends 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.
>>11679872They're not bad when you don't have a choice, but explore moncolles while you still can
>>11679887>explore moncolles while you still canNot the guy, but are they ending it?
>>11679900i dont think so. They just make less and less every gen, but they do rerelease more often
>>11679887Moncolles suck for scale tho. Your Charmanders are the same size as your Charizards. Jazzwares scale sucks too sometimes but they're at least trying to be different sizes.
>>11679910Moncolle was meant for small characters only. That's how it's been since '98
>>11679920huh? They've always been making the larger pokemon from the beginning too, just at the same stupid small size
>>11679922Exactly. Ignore those. They dont exist and are always the shelfwarmers
I found some takara tomy figures and got these two. I really like them. I might get dialga later. I dont have the money for any scale world figures yet so these were nice
>>11679948im not saying these are better than fail world, but still dont buy fail world
>>11679948if Blokees will release Giratina and Lugia i would literally shit myself in "wow" and buy multiples of those
Apparently, we’re getting four Tamagotchi Pokémon releases. Is this the first time Pokémon and Tamagotchi have collaborated?
>>11680065Only if they did a XL line for those, but I doubt it.
>>11680065If 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
>>11680072Cool
>>11680065This so much this
>>11679872They're good for the small pokemon for sure. You can also mix them with the Japanese moncolle figures too. Pic is 1 moncolle and 1 jazwares with each pair.
>>11680118>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 figuresWhat.noI will be more than happy with Lugia at the size of Blokees Charizard.Charizard is a perfect size for such toys. I'm not a scale-schizo
>>11680118What you're complaining about is literally a good thing
>>11680431And some 3" figures with them. Those are generally good too and will look good with the smaller figures.
>>11678023I wish we'd get a new Totodile mold. I hate the seam for his jaw.
>>11680118Blokees' legendary class could be great for some legendaries tho
>>11680118>>11680528Damn flipped image
>>11680432>>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>What.>no>I will be more than happy with Lugia at the size of Blokees Charizard.>Charizard is a perfect size for such toys.>I'm not a scale-schizoAgreed. 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.
>>11680441Kino
What is going on
>>11681951>Tomy gets to reap the rewards in Japan of being the longtime toy partner for the biggest media franchise on the planet by releasing anniversary merch and retro inspired nostalgia bait to critical acclaim>Jazwares gets to shit out another pearly repaint of the Kantoooo slop starters, maybe with the 30th anniversary logo on the box if we're lucky>Blokees saved us with having cool Pokemon builds but may be going to shit if they decided to jump the bigger figures over to another part of their line thats more expensive and gives us less figures per "wave"
>>11682132Oh also one of the bigger content creators showed off what a few others in the discord found out; the fucking wings of Noivern have shitty paint on them that cracks as soon as you move them and the paint rubs off because of the material
>>11678023Still no sign of any ZA megas or even new molds. I'm starting to lose hope at this point
Loved this LDCX infernape, not as good as a blokees but looks as good, and it's all solid plastic, joints are decent enough. I hope they make more pokemon soon
>>11682520I want eternal Floette and Pecharunt. If this was back then we'd get them for sure. In the old days legendaries and special pokemon were a given.
I really want blokees machamp, Tomy usa joints are painful
>>11682530>>11682585Where are these chinese companies coming from? Theyre just making everything
>>11682988>Where are these chinese companies coming from?China.
>>11682585blokees one will prob have better articulation and look nicer, but it'll be small
>>11683251Yep, I already accepted blokees as my main scale tho. It easily integrates most of jazwares stuff, Tomy usa and plamo
>>11682137Unfortunate. This wave was kinda meh and if I were to have gotten one it would've been Noivern.
>>11683278its so unfortunate. Noivern has the most qc issues of any figure in this entire line. There are lots of people showing pics of the paint on their wings disintegrating and coming off
>>11683282Poorwares has struck again
It honestly feels much better to never buy jazwares selects ever again, they are scarce, ugly, joints do nothing. I searched Raikou for years and now it's just standing there with a derpy face. These figures give 0 value to the owner
>>11680118>Unless they make another new Blokees line to make them huge,Hey, it's possible. They made a pretty big Nine Tailed Fox from Naruto.
>>11683316The beasts were pretty meh, I only got Suicune.Raikou had weird engineering, Entei looked like he hit a pole.
>>11682520Considering 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)
>>11683316The beasts, while cool that we got them, are some of the worse of the line because of the lack of real articulation to put them in any poses besides a halfhearted "running" pose.
new footage of the pikachu puppetronic for anyone who careshttps://www.youtube.com/live/kSWZDFOs6Wo?si=yh99NacRutObCvdp&t=6105
>>11683626Cool concept, making it a puppet makes it much better than regular animatronic toys that you would just take the batteries off after a while. Looks a bit cursed tho
>>11683639>making it a puppet makes it much better than regular animatronic toysdisagreed, honestlyanything that helps a toy of a character feel alive outside of user input helps with the presentation
i'm most looking forward to these new animated pikachu toys, but it seems jazwares is getting tight-lipped about it at london's toy fair, as usual
Curious about getting a Blokees Meowscarada and I'm wondering what was the initial price of it when it first released.Need to know if I'm getting burned or not.
>>11683706Blokees L class launched at $19 and charizard at $25 at least on aliexpress. Later that year there were great discounts, I got my meowscarada for like $12
>>11683706all Blokees prices went up after wave 2 of the larger ones came out. Now most are $23+ and some like Charizard and Snorlax and Nidoking are hard to find under $33
>>11683653Nah. The Stitch Puppet was a huge hit BECAUSE kid can be Stitch. This will also be a hit.
>>11683843hey, i'm talking taste, not salesbut to be fair, Just Play's Ultimate Stitch was quite the blockbuster too
>>11683247but why?
>>11683895to make money? No other companies are making Pokemon figures for china so companies are getting the licenses to do that.
>>11683909cool. I hope it doesnt stop
>>11683895Chinese 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
>>11682132I 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.
>>11683706Just be warned at least the first wave suffered of double-arm issues.Haven't heard about such issues in later ones, but I still order from GD just in case because they can send replacement parts.
>>11684030As in, 2 left arms
any new jazwaremons? maybe a cute slugma? or a sizzlipide? (please tell me they are coming)
>>11684840scizor, blastoise, incineroar, pinsir, golurk, paldean wooper, porygon 2, alola sandshrew, whimsicott are all the ones coing that have not been seen officially
>>11684840it's unbelievably disappointing we have little Galar mons for Gloria nor Alola's Selene
>>11684840>>11684849>>11684862sadness
>>11684862galar and alola have probably the same amount of figs as other regions from sinnoh onward. They have been pretty evenly making figures aside from kanto and johto getting the most.
>>11684862When 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.
>>11685686Plus Wooloo, Impidimp, several Alcremies, Dreepy, Snom. Blokees just did Galar Sirfetch'd. There's Moncolle/T-Arts Kubfu, Rolycoly, + Rookidee that scale with most others too.
>>11685736>Galarian SirfetchedYou mean Galarian Farfetchd
>>11685736The G=maxes would make great epics too. I even have TT Arts Cramorant, but there is still so much missing
>>11685748Nobody wants Gmax's. What for? To put next to figures to show how silly they look because they're so small?
>>11685736Yea there's a good amount. Paldea is near the end of it's cycle and the companies are all just doing their own versions of Ceruledge, Armarouge and starters. Although it's not like there's a gen 9 trainer to put with them anyway.
>>11685776No different from owning Megas
>>11685855No, Megas are usually the same size at the non-Mega versions of the Pokemon. The G-Max ones filled stadiums. The size of literal buildings.
>>11685866i just want big toys of big characters, and Epic would be perfect. In fact, if Fail World making G-maxes means we get big toys of them anyway, that'd be a very take my money moment
>>11677090They blew it with this, non-lego people would've bought that
>>11685936maybe that was their plan
Whoever said Machamp was coming from Blokees after Nidoking was correct.
>>11688019
>>11688019>>11688021deff an upgrade
>>11688051Sculpting 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.
>>11688021Pretty solid. Wonder if if the alt hands are 1 pair each for the chop and grab.
>>11688152I'd rather 4 punch effects instead
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.
>>11688180I mean they do are $20-$25 you are paying the extra for buying a "mainland china only" toy. Even with that gundamit had Nidoking preorder at $25
>>11688184This. I got my GD Nidoking pre-order in at €19,95.They've since raised the price a a bit.Still waiting for them to ship though.
>>11688184Link to the GD Nidoking listing? I dont see any on there except PikachuThe AliExpress listings for the first wave of the big and small ones were much cheaper though. They increased after each wave came out.
>>11688282https://gundamit.com/blokees-fantastics-pokemon-nidoking_p9501.htmlI'm still waiting for the latest Small wave to become <5 for me on Ali. But so many listing are the full set when I only want a few.
>>11688295Link doesn't work. Just keeps redirecting to the home page. Can't find it when searching on the site either. Shitty site or not available to the united states?
>>11688308Either have to be logged in or have an account of X days then iirc.
>>11688180The quality isn't going up with the price, which is the dumb thing.
>>11688888Like with everything
anyone know where I can get Takara Tomy welcome back (fat) pikachu? Most places are sold out because I was too stupid to pay attention and I don't want to pay slowpoke taxes (3x mark up).
>>11691273Third party sellers on Amazon JP are still taking pre-orders. They don't ship outside of Japan, so you have to order it through a proxy site like From Japan or Zenmarket.https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/special/order/confirm/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.jp%2Fdp%2FB0GG8Y6125/3_1/
>>11691861Probably New York toy fair in 2 weeks is where we'll see stuff. It's the 30th anniversary so hopefully we'll get to see what they have planned for the year if anything.
Where the fuck is my select zoroark jazwares?
Uh oh TPC could potentially fucking end Blokees' pokemon life. IM NOT JOKINGThe 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
>>11692671Pokemon marketing at its finest again..
>>11692671>Immediately moves over to Megaman
>>11692671It 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.
>>11692837>Starts with MM Zero, thus killing themselves immediately
>>11693153>seething in other threads about them choosing to start elsewhere instead of doing X and Classic again when there are other companies right now doing X or classic
>>11693304You don't get it. Blokees could make further characters for X and Classic, even overlap with better versions maybe. But they're still going to the Mega Man that's always the killer for some reason
noticed none posted red next to nidoking here yet? here you go
>>11693489This doesnt look right. Nidoking should be at least as tall as him.
>>11693489My short king.Still waiting on GD to ship
>>11693489I would if I had Red... Figma doesn't want to rerelease him it seems.
>>11693535Nidoking is pretty small
New>>11694326>>11694326>>11694326
>>11693637I hate how in scale it is then
