I wonder if another L size blokees wave is in the works, there have been many toy fairs with blokees involved and they have shown zero pokemon news or prototypes

>>11477621 (OP)
What is that in the OP? Plushes?

>Waiting for Garchomp and Tyrantrum

Anyone with plamo Scizor would you recommend it? Or wait for a potential blokees or select. I think the main thing I'm iffy about is the arm swap.

>>>11450159
GSC case was because TPCi meddled too much with the QoL and distribution of the figma line so the Galar figures ended up with more issues than the previous SunMoon and Red figma.

Not to mention the characters chosen based on the popularity poll, Marnie seems it did well but Raihan performed bad.

>>11477989
Honestly figma line was so mediocre, Pokemon trainers don't really need much sculpting or detail and still they were full price with almost zero accesories. Shf should do pokemon humans again now than people is collecting more pokemon figures than ever

>>11477897
Set of plush for sdcc

>TPC sees the blind box worldwide success of Labubus from China and copies it with Pikachu as a test run
>then expands to other biased/endorsed GF pocket monsters like Evee and Incineroar
>now every blind box is a random Pokémon out of the entire collection of mons
How long until it happens? I give them a year and a half. No way they’ll let this opportunity get away for them to make money.

>>11478505
The market for retarded pokemon gambling is already fully covered with the tcg. Is not happening

>>11477952
Did Tyrantum come out yet? Nobody fucking sticks this line so I miss out all the time.

>>11478526
>The market for retarded pokemon gambling is already fully covered with the tcg. Is not happening
TCG only covers cards not plushies. That’s what I’m talking about, this little bugger already generated 2 billion alone in a year for them. TPC will without a doubt copy them, the answer is how long until that happens. Do you actually think they won’t take the opportunity to make more money?

>>11478572
Does anything they do ever make sense?

>>11478549
Not in America

>>11478505
I am suprised they havent released a propper 1gen blindboxes cheap figs still. It would be world obsession.

Popmart did do a blind box pokemon figure set though...

>>11479243
Isn't it what the re-ment figures are ? I mean they're not exclusively gen 1 mons but still...

>>11479527
I mean ONE WHOLE gen. They could be just single colored figures even

>>11477998
Blame TPCi since they are in charge of the quality control of their products, there's a reason they gave two kind of exclusives to the figma and nendoroid line rather than including them for the standard release.

>>11479980
Yeah, Gloria's my favorite of them, but I still hate how botched her quality was.
TPCi basically left me on read when GSC redirected me to them.
At least Marnie was back under GSC themselves for support.

>>11478505
>>11478572
Labubu's (or however the hell you spell it) is totally different. It's the same body with just different faces or colors. Production on something like that is much easier and cheaper compared to something like Pokemon where every single one is completely different. For plush or plastic figures, it's 100% unrealistic to expect that many different variations of items in the same wave.

>>11479980
>>11480018
I don't think we'll ever get Pokemon Figmas again. The nail in the coffin was the whole fiasco of TPCI taking ownership of production and paying outright for it instead of GSC doing it. We got shit quality control, no customer support and overpriced figures that didn't sell out quick or at all

>>11480349
I just wanted one character

>>11480349
Only realistic hope now is Blokees deciding to do trainers.

Blokees Venusaur and Blastoise when?

>>11479527
I need more Zard merch

>>11481714

Talking about Blokees how are these? they scale right with Figma/SHF trainers? the quality is good?

>>11482290
great. yes. yes

>>11482290
>Do they scale well with FAGmas?
Some of them I guess. But they mostly are either too small or too big. S class and L class figures are not even in the same scale but they have some sort of coherence, like how pikachu and Slowpoke are in the same line but slowpoke is almost as big as charizard while pikachu is the tiniest figure of the whole bunch

>>11482290
L sizes scale alright, S varies - usually on the 2big side.
Quality varies like everything else.
People here have gotten blokees with two left arms, missing parts, and damaged prints.

>>11482331
It is also pretty stupid that their small and large lines don't even scale with eachother

What the fuck is Jazwares doing?
>no new figures in like half a year
>figure releases outside of the Selects might as well be nonexistent because they're either exclusive to fucking Walgreens or Ross
>virtually no announcements of new releases for any of the lines except maybe the Selects once in a blue moon. Basically we only know when something new is out when people start finding them in stores
>announce Deoxys Select and say preorders are open, something we saw over a year ago and its not even available for preorder

I just really want someone else to get the license away from these braindead fucks or at least put someone competent in charge of their social media. That Aaron guy at least was *someone* to direct questions to, even though he didn't know that one of their biggest releases didn't even fucking come out in the states

>also mfw i see how they're treating the FNAF figures, doing interviews with creators and collectors and listening to feedback

>>11482574
Don't worry. FNAF line will surely get the same treatment all their other lines have gotten. Guess who's in charge of the FNAF line? Your buddy Aaron. Expect more of the same nonsense that the Pokemon line has been doing with that FNAF stuff. Those figs don't look good anyway. No paint on them, lackluster articulation, and being forced to overpay for two bodies but only skeleton will get old real fast.

>>11482574
>no new figures in like half a year
Wow you aren't kidding. I just checked the wiki for this year's figs compared to last year and the year before. We've gotten like 1/3 the number of new figs released half way into the year compared to other years. Some of the releases coming do interest me though like Pinsir, Bagon and Kabutops. Did we know about a 3" Pidgeotto?? Its on the wiki and everything on there has been correct so far but Ive never seen anyone mention that.

>>11482574
Getting ready for tariffs. Tariffs affecting everything

>>11482645
That's the first time hearing about Pidgeotto. I was actually on the wiki like a week ago counting how many pokes for each gen there were and I'm almost certain it wasn't there yet. Well for those interested here's what they were at the time:
Gen 1: 70
Gen 2: 35
Gen 3: 32
Gen 4: 23
Gen 5: 18
Gen 6: 18
Gen 7: 32
Gen 8: 27
Gen 9: 19
The count includes some regional variants in their respective gen where the new design made it's debut.

>>11482653
That may affect prices but the slowdown has been happening long before that. Since the end of last year

>>11482655
Yup. Tariffs exacerbating slowdown.

>>11482654
Kanto understandably has the most but its a bit surprising to see how many Johto and Hoenn have too since those weren't current like Alola or Galar when they were making toys

Is there a function to get a tally per generation on the wiki or you just counted yourself? I love all the ways to categorize and view the figures on that wiki. The view by type is helpful when Im trying to decide which figures to pair with specific Figmas for a theme.

>>11482658
I clicked the "figure by generation" at the top and clicked the button for unique Pokemon only. I'm not sure if there's a tally, I ended up just counting them cause most gens didn't have that many.

>mid 2025
>Still buying athying jazwares
Why do you do this yo yourself anon?

>Did we know about a 3" Pidgeotto??
I didn't, gonna hold off on Pidgeot then.
Just want the core Kanto team for SHF Ash and it's the only one missing.

>>11482700
It's the only shit I can buy in stores around me

>>11482700
I bought the Blokees Pysduck and Charmander. They're cool, but none of the other Pokemon really impress me that much (and they're mostly all Kanto mons or mascot mons anyways)

I'll keep an eye on them, but Jazwares at least has some modest variety when they're not shitting out more Starter Pokemon packs.

I'm actually interested in some of the other model kits but I have a Magikarp one I still need to put together.

I don't really deal much with Scale World (I bought the set with Pikachu and Charmeleon and I mean the size is cool for scaling if you strictly stick with it, but they're kind of expensive for statues) and Moncolle are the same way.

>>11482700
Because Fail World is expensive and rare

>>11482653
Well now the problem is that they have tons of announced figures and new stuff that *should* be out, but hasn't shown up anywhere. It was a miracle that the Summer figures actually showed up imo

There's some cool stuff ahead (Kabutops, Pidgeotto, Skeledirge, Deoxys) but basically zero timeline of when we'll see them. And if its like the recent clip n gos or even Tyrantrum, we probably won't even see some of them.

>>11482727
Deoxys has at least been out in Europe for a while.

>>11482727
>Summer figs
Did they ever show up at Target or Walmart like some of the other seasonal waves? Did we ever discover what the 3rd pack was?

>>11482732
I saw 2 of them at a Gamestop. Apparently part of the Crocalor wave

>>11482732
No, Gamestop Only.
As far as we know, it was just the two; Charmander w/Carvannah and Pikachu w/Marril.

I don't think anyone has reached out to anyone at Jazwares to even confirm if there were more, not that Jazwares probably knows either.

I'd almost kind of expect to see them show up somewhere else like Target when they reset the Toys later this month, but who knows. Its a cool idea to have Summer figures, but a hard sell to have a place for them at any store (again though, Jazwares distribution is so disastrous that they probably could have come out any time if the company cared enough)

Oddly enough, the Plush released at a few different places so there were some options there.

>>11482744
Thats what it had on the back of the box, but the sheet inside showed Skeledirge, the Clip N Go wave figures and Kabutops which is how we first found out about it coming.

Thats also super weird because other ones usually had the other figures of the same holiday wave on them (if I remember right)

I wish chinks weren't such mascot fags, I'm sure every blokees launch would consist of: Kanto starter, current gen starter, prior gen starter, le funny mascot mon, eeveelution.
But at least I guess a good Lapras, dragonite od snorlax could be now possible

>>11482744
>>11482749
Not in the wave, the seasonal packs have always had the most recent wave on the back of the package. The winter ones I've bought always had the regular wave on the back, not the seasonal one so that seems normal. This is the first time one of these waves was only 2 packs tho right?

Is there a blurry photo of Pidgeotto out there with the pose? I'm guessing since it's a 3" figure it'll have it's wings out as the articulation and not like picrel.

>>11482784
Ive not seen it posted on here or on Instagram if there is one. Is the person who makes the wiki just fucking with us? I think they've always had good sources before and only put things up that they have proof of right?

>>11482785
I'm pretty sure entries only get added if there's photo evidence of it existing. The entry then only gets it's proper photo when they release the clear stock images with the white background. They've never added the various rumored selects found in various systems and websites. So that is to say there should be a photo somewhere out there.

>>11482784
Hm, dunno if I want it to T-pose fly or rest on the ground.

>>11482801
I want it on a clear stand like Butterfree so it looks like its hovering and then they can make Pidgey standing on the ground. The line would look good all together like that

>>11482801
>>11482813
Yea I was thinking it'd look like this with a clear stand like Butterfree. And then Pidgey can be like the Pikipek figure so all 3 can be in the air.

>>11482784
Never liked moncolle's obsession with keeping birds in normal stance

>>11482821
I'd be cool with that.

>>11482298
>>11482299
>>11482331
Thanks

>>11482821
It doesnt look like that at all. People found it on the discord. Two people confirmed this is the jazwares mold but cast in white that the person selling it had repainted so ignore the paint job anyway

>>11483028
wings are hinged like butterfree and the feet are molded for it to stand on the ground

>>11483028
Looks awful

>>11482574
>>also mfw i see how they're treating the FNAF figures, doing interviews with creators and collectors and listening to feedback
I wouldn't be too sure. They announced them awhile back and we've seen nothing at all. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any Jazzwares FNAF stuff in stores (except the Squishmallows) until January 2026

>>11483028
The wings look kinda like they're curved to match the body so they can look like these >>11482784.

>>11483028
Hold up. Are we sure this is a real jazzwares figure? It looks so derpy like a bootleg. The shape of the chest and the weird wing position doesn't look good.

>>11483080
They have a hinge only. They'll be able to flap but will be stuck in the position you see them in

YO! I've been enjoying the pokepla kits... The big magicarp is my favorite so far... But i'm also partial to the Yveltal and Gyarados kits.

>>11483038
THE PISS YELLOW of the belly of the one in front needs to be corrected :-)

>>11483266
The modern pokepla are fun to build yeah.
I only really get the Selects, except for Quick!! slowpoke.

>no pokemon evolving toys
Such is life

>>11482781
Oh woops, I think Im thinking of the single pack ones; those usually show the other single pack seasonals (if I'm remembering correctly)

And yep, thats the weird thing that there's just suddenly one that has only 2 sets in the wave.

Theoretically, it is possible that Gamestop only got two of them (they only got the Flower Crown Eevee pack from Easter while all 3 showed up at Target) but without them showing up at another store its impossible to know if there was another set or not.

I'm leaning more on there only being two for some strange reason because I believe that was all that was shown off at Toy Fair

>>11483537
Ironically, Bandai just announced that they were making some (Pikachu and the Paldean Starters)

>>11482654
>>11482658
Johto having 32/100 with there only being 100 in that gen is quite a bit. Hoenn at 32/135 not as impressive but then you have Unova at 18/156 which is pretty abysmal. Hoping Hoenn gets more as the starters, Latis, Salamence, Milotic, Aggron are all great Pokemon that they can still do.

>>11482574
has deoxys still not been released in the US? in canada we haven’t even gotten mega zard yet

>>11483977
We never get them one at a time in Canada so that Mega Charizard wave will pop up all at once. Sometimes we get them early, sometimes late and once never at all (Entei wave).

>>11483977
No Deoxys in the states yet. Jazzwares posted recently saying it was up for pre order but that was incorrect.

>>11483537
>>11483543
Evolving toys suck. Digimon is living proof

>>11482337
Mixing selects and other jazwares figures is worse scaling

>>11484803
Even mixing selecs with selects is all out of scale lol

>>11484803
>>11484820
Wow, I never would have expected that from a non scaled line!

>>11484842
They're scaled... For battle!
Against rulers.

>>11484852
Not the 6" line. That line is not scaled and they admit that.

Time flies Deoxys was shown a year ago. I think they'll have a similar display as last year but with Armarouge and Gallade. We're technically not supposed to know about these which means we might not see anything actually "new". Hopefully there's some new minifigs.

>>11485979
It's insane you guys still don't have him in stores.

>>11486013
The wiki says it came out in Feb. That must have been Europe and Australia? I haven't seen Canadian stores get it yet either. Just when you think distribution can't be any worse they keep one upping themselves

For the other Canadians here what items are at toys r us for you right now? I'm kinda asking cause the one closest to me is so barren I suspect there's a chance it might be prepping to close down so it's not getting anything new. Not sure if I should be checking one that's farther away. I'm not exaggerating when I say the only things on the shelves right now are a few clip n go Mareeps, 1 Toxtricity evo pack and 1 Decidueye evo pack. Hopefully my store is just doing a shelf reset soon for the summer and not closing.

Target's website in the USA listed deoxys as clearance for a while but it was never in stock.

>>11486336
And as far as Jazwares is concerned, they claimed it was already available for pre order. They're such a fucking clueless mess.

>>11486355
>they claimed it was already available for pre order
In some remote village in the Himalaya's, yeah.

>>11486336
Wish the line was better run

Nothing new has happened in months

Kabutops wave is on ebay now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/205611018094

Probably found at some stupid regional grocery store chain like HEB or Meijer again. I don't know the last time a 2pack or 3pack wave has gone to a major retailer in the states. How can a company mess up distribution so bad?

>>11487729
Wait, it's a regular figure? It should've been a feature instead
>Probably found at some stupid regional grocery store chain like HEB or Meijer again.
I hate that so much, this is Jakks all over again. I have 2 nickels because we missed Garchomp twice

>>11487759
I need that bagon

>>11487729
Looks alright.
Expected him to be flattened like Scyther.

>>11487759
It was always a 3". That's why there was some disappointment when it was first seen on that checklist

>>11487829
I want one!

>>11486297
literally nothing right now. just the ugly evolution packs nobody wants. there were a lot of empty shelves in general at my toys r us. they look like they’re about to close down.

>>11487829
I thought Kabutops would be larger.

>>11488312
Its Jazwares they'll never make the figures the right sizes we want them in. This would have been a perfect 4" and could even have some kind of swiping motion that doesn't hurt the articulation

>>11488312
If you were to put it next to their own figures in the main line it's probably pretty close. Like their Electabuzz, Magmar, Tauros etc that are all pretty small.

>>11487829
People on discord have it in hand and there's multiple reports that it's crappy. Center of gravity is way off so it doesn't stand on its own, arms feel flimsy and there's no leg joints at all. What a letdown.

>>11488584
I have this. If they're the same height, ill be happy.

>>11488701
guessing the kit's like 10cm, so prolly smaller

>>11477621 (OP)
The squirtle squad was never cool or funny

>>11488584
Stop buying the crap out of Jazwares. Even before it hits the shelves, people know it's rubbish because the scale doesn't match. But they end up buying it anyway and find even more problems and defaults. It's become habit.

>>11488584
Lol
People in the toy community tent to fight about if marvel legends is the worst ever or if mcfarlane dc multiverse is, but those lines at least have toys that can fucking stand. Seriously, jazwares it's so overlooked, they could easily become the worst modern toy company to people as their horrid stuff don't even have the most basic hasbro qc

>>11488584
why is it so hard for them to include plastic stands if they can’t be bothered to design the figures to stand on their own? most jazwares shit feels so cheap

>>11488584
>People on discord
Huge self report

Jazwares triying to sell this as a premium collector set lol, seems that they'd rather make fancy packaging than good figures, they did the same with the Halo figures, amazing boxes, awful figures

>>11489899
Also, this pretty much confirms that is not that Jazwares sees the pokemon license as kiddie shit not worth the effort, they do know adults buy and collect their stuff, they just don't feel like getting better

>>11489899
I remember seeing this before months ago I guess it hasn't been released yet. What are they charging for it?

>>11489899
They wont reissue Garchomp or Tyrantrum, but this instead. I hate you "Jakks 2"

>>11489899
They've always been like this. All their lines seem like they're designed by amateurs. The Halo line was so bad towards the end with all those really bad sculpts and half the joints that you couldn't use.

>>11489899
Cute, will pick up if it's a decent value. Hope they do these for gen 2 and 3 as well when they've got the figs for it.

>>11490207
It'll prob be around $100. It's the same crappy figures aside from Venusaur who's actually decent. You're paying for the light up large plastic case basically. And don't kid yourself. They'll never do any other generation. This is like the 3rd Kanto themed convention exclusive set right?

>>11489899
This is pretty clearly an investor trap, meant to catch in the people buying out pokemon tcg.

>>11489903
>>11489995
>>11490177
>>11490234
Stop complaining about products meant to scam scalpers.

>>11490250
>Stop complaining about products meant to scam scalpers.
Nobody's talking about Fail World

>>11490234
There was the kanto one with Mewtwo and the evolved starters and the one with all the little starters which wasn't kanto themed. Might be forgetting one.

>>11490207
they won’t bother doing anything that’s not KANTOOOOOOO as a special collectors item. feraligatr i could see them making one day but i doubt they’ll ever make a meganium figure.

>>11492002
>Meganium
That could work as one of their jumbo sized ones that don't have many joints right? Like their Dragonite

>>11492002
I can see them making both since they're the ZA starters. They already did Typhlosion so now they have an excuse to finish up the set.

>>11492359
I'm scared of what the Kalos starters will turn into. They were all worse. Samurott being the least worse

>>11492374
Well, Samurott couldn't possibly be made worse, being the worst Pokemon design of all time, so the Hisui version couldn't fail to be an improvement.

>>11492374
You mean like regional forms? I think they're just getting megas as the new thing so their 3rd stage evos won't change like the Hisui ones.

>>11492393
That wouldn't be fair. I already hate that it's 2 Johto to 1 Unova.

>>11492359
Both Feraligater and Meganium would be too small if they are put in the 6" tall line. Theyd both need to be the larger size but we already have that stupid Golurk for next year's big fig

Buzzwole...please Jazzwares

>>11492647
Epic. Ignore Lugia

>>11492647
Epic is approximately the same size as Select in the vast majority of cases.

>>11492827
Except none of the Epics except for Venusaur can fit in the 6" packages. So no, they are almost always slightly larger in one dimension or another

>>11492660
Yes we need a large buzzwole very badly!

>>11492647
Meganium isn't that big it would be fine. Imagine like the Raijou figure with shorter legs but a longer neck, you can fit a pretty big figure in the box they use. Feraligatr might end up a bit smaller, you'd end up with something like the Tyranitar or Garchomp figure in size.

>>11493567
>slightly larger in one dimension
>Epic is approximately the same size as Select
That's what I was saying
Legendary Beasts aren't even much smaller than a Solgaleo, for example. It's a matter of detail at this stage

Which pokemon don’t have any (official) toys at all?

>>11494311
Probably various middle stage pokemon from SV like Dolliv.

>>11494311
missing no

Saw a cap pika on the jaz wiki in a multi pack. Is the pose the same as moncolle or something different?

>>11482331
That's the first non Moncolle Charizard that I want
It also looks a lot more practical and play friendly than the other articulated releases

>>11495974
It's the D-arts but they fixed it. Get it while it's still common

Anyone with the blokees ceruledge have a spare left leg? Mine came with 2 right legs. If anyone wants to swap leg parts, please let me know.

>>11496889
Sorry, only got extra arms.
If you got him through Gundamit, they could try and get you a replacement leg.

>>11497115
Confirms they got a Horizons anime license, I guess.

Wtf...

>BF Liko with cat-launching action

>>11497165
They are getting sure that no western kid becomes a furry for having a meowscarada toy everyday in their rooms by making it an ugly goblin

>>11497126
They should finish up the crew Pokemon. Chansey, Carkoal, Noctowl, Nosepass, Quagsire, Slugma.

>>11497165
Eww

Ok now there is no way SW won't get Dialga and Palkia soon.

>>11497126
Their entire license is for anime. Always has been.

We're so close

>>11498077
I hope you are right

Anyone else getting their Deoxys already?

>>11498366
Months ago, but I'm Yurop.
Nice he's finally showing up there.

>>11497115
This is like two years too late, those three starters evolved ages ago and the kids aged up in a time skip

I fucking hate living in canada. gamestop and toys r us have only had the same dusty old shit for months. i want deoxys already.

>>11498366
Wait what the fuck. I was unaware it started finally showing up in the U.S about goddamn time. Did it ever go up for preorder in the end?

>>11499444
it was the only one in one of those small Targets. i hope i wasnt lucky

>>11499444
>>11499641
Not online consistently yet. Use the site's store tracker so see what stores near you have it. This one is coming out very slow compares to all other 6" Selects

Well that Noivern is huge

>>11500041
That stand is different from the usual round one. Is that Mew supposed to be a new larger size for their vinyl line?

>>11500135
Mew is the 8" vinyl that's been out for a while. Big oof on that Noivern. Way to big and not many joints. Whoever decided to give it no leg joints should be smacked.

>>11500041
I hope they show more. I also hope Jazwares takes time to hear about the missing toys we haven't gotten yet

This will prob be it. We weren't supposed to know about the three they showed. They also had Gallade and Armarouge on display

Are they having a panel this year like past years? Lke with the slideshow with silhouettes for the legendary beasts that one year.

Monkey paws: The pokemon figures
Somebody please save the pokemon western license from jazwares

Don't you hate how every damn brand is getting exciting news right now and pokemon it's just there?? Honestly it's fucking depressing. I can understand why the games are not getting better, but selling good toys shouldn't be THAT difficult. No wonder why these threads are just wishful thinking and the same 3 guys fighting over scale world and 1/12 stuff. Blokees is there but they launch like 6 toys a year wtf

Well the only other thing I pay attention to is dragon ball and tamashii didn't bring anything either so it's a double nothing for me. To be fair to the jaz guys we aren't supposed to know about Gallade and Armarouge. Maybe there'll be a few small figures revealed at their panel or something.
