djivaldi7 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Toy maker? Saw a destroid advertised on Mandarake... had never seen the brand before. Came to realize they've been around since the 1960s and get credited for popularizing the gashapon industry? No idea what scale or articulation level these are either but they look better than a KO since presumably they got licensed. Looks like they did 5 types, VF-1s,j,armored, tomahawk and z-battlepod...

They were barely jointed, but the joint angles made it appear to get very dynamic poses with simple movement. The simplicity kinda made them fun to pose since it felt like no matter what, the pose would end up forced into a cool looking position. There were also some really cool little Devil May Cry trading figures that were similarly made for the first and second games. I think there was another line, but I’m forgetting the name right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
