There are many great IPs from the 80s. Whoever is sitting on those IPs had better get their acts together quickly. Fans, collectors, and customers will move on to what is available. And it looks like there is a lot available now.
Thank you for posting! Another Tuber who used to work at Mattel, titled his video about Ace, “a special kind of stupid”, so your content is really important. All the love to you guys! ❤
Thanks for the video, Geek Dad. Ace, this stuff looks amazing. Congratulations to you and your team. I’m definitely interested in the Marshal line and would love to see more characters added (a female judge perhaps?). Fingers crossed that you get the official licenses you’re pursuing.
Ace is Cooking with all these figure reveals. Jay forgot to ask about the replacement head for Falcon and He Man Dolph heads. I look at Ramen’s site to see the release times for Falcon and re-release for the Dolph heads. Hopefully they are coming soon.
I am so glad I ordered the ramen racer!!!! It looks better than I thought it would!!! Way better than the billion dollar Asslab version for a better price and it’s an authentic Charger!!!! My Blade figure cannot wait to get his ride!
@@stevezb8 The name of a property can be protected by trademark but the story, likeness and design of a character are always protected by copyright, so you typically need the permission of the property owner to use their character if you're a toy company. That's why most "tribute" figures are either ambigious or generic in nature, have been resigned to make them unique and distinct (like some of Four Horsemen's Mythic Legions figures) or are clearly parodies (like Fresh Monkey's Eagle Force figures).
On January 25th, 2023, the Matt Tracker UA-cam channel uploaded a 10 minute video titled ‘CFCB Unlimited Shut Down by Hasbro - S7E01’. Bill Faries posted the cease and desist from Hasbro resulting in the end of M.A.S.K. custom action figures sold in 2 sizes. More recently on July 30th, 2023, a special 15 minute episode titled ‘Ramen Toy MAKINA Red Gullwing!!!!!!!!!! Thunderhawk - S7E08’ reviewed this vehicle. Bill also included a response from Ramen Toys to a cease and desist from Hasbro received in June.
Twice the current MSRP of Classified Series for "Classified"-like figures that have less accessories than Classified figures seems like a big ask, especially when the head/helmet everyone wants requires you to pony up for three of them and they're coming from a company that I hadn't heard of until the Engine of Vengeance Haslab debacle. Also those stickers already kind of look like they're barely sticking to those display models, why not supply water slides instead? It also doesn't help that one of the few figure reviews I could find for this Ramen was a Silverhawk figure that kept falling apart during the review.
I have their first run of the Gullwing and it’s really nice. 100% down for Great White and He-Man?? I hope they get to do it as it could be a new take with lots of possibilities.
Nice products, if they can only get the official license and get the prices more competative with other equivalent detailed models that would be great.
Love what Ramen have done, I have bought the Centurions and SilverHawks. I was all in with Makina but making the Great White unavailable to international customers at a preorder price makes me all out of all Ramen lines.
@@RAMENTOY That’s great, can you advise when it will be available on your website and the price? Also have you considered making a Ramen Sewer Playset?
The Great White pre order will be up latest next week in September@@genxaustralia4512 We apologise, there is a lot of administrative process with the website. Also for the Ramen Sewer, we have created MUSK - Modular Underground Sewer Command. coming soon
Mam im wishing either ramen or super 7 do a inhumanoids large monstrous metlar,tendrils, d'compose and also slither that was never made hope i can see a revival of them in toys
QQ - Maybe you can spend time on your Sunday show on this, but can Ramen Toys legally display and release copyrighted products at a show hosted by the license owner of those figures and accessories? Or did I miss the part where they said they had been granted permission - I often miss those details.
This hobby is definitely becoming *ONLY FOR THE RICH.* Everything he showed is awesome but there is no way most of us can afford it. Sure, we can afford a few figures but collecting them all would blow out our bank accounts. They are almost up to $100 for each figure. Everything goes up except the wages. Imagine if they did *ALL* of the MOTU characters at $80-$100 each.
Is the delicate balance that have to be done. They have so much detail and look great, but then they get really out of my budget... If they were not selling at thouse prices, then everybody would try to go cheaper but would not look as good.
Ramen Racer is $250 and like most of us knows it more expensive doing vehicles. This av LEDs and everything. Then Neca show off three plastic walls and a floor and want $300...
Go Ramen, nice stuff. Especially love their MASK toys, but man - at those prices I just have to pass, sadly. Just doesn't seem "worth" it in the end (145?!).
It's all nice and cool but the price tag on them is crazy that's insane I guess I won't be purchasing any of this stuff lol looks good but expensive Is it cheaper if I go to China and buy them over there because its worse than What Hasbro charges over here I would think the owner of Ramen toys would understand about price gouging but I guess h is the same a the rest Money hungry!
I'm guessing you have little knowledge on the logistics surrounding MOQs and what factories will/won't agree to manufacture. That's fine, google can help you out.
Ramen Toys was impressing me until I saw they were doing the General Lee. They're not getting any of my money until that project is off the table. Jay, you needed to call that out instead of allowing them basically showcase it.
@@GeekDadLife He's still calling it the General Lee. It was right there in print. If there isn't a Confederate Flag decal option included, I would be surprised.
I wasn't going to order one, but your whining just changed my mind. Nobody even cared about that stupid flag for decades. It just meant rebel from the South, & you saw people of every persuasion rocking it. Why do you think it was even allowed on tv? I mean, 7Dust has black singer, & came out w/ a confederate flag on Woodstock 99' for god sakes. The smear campaign to make it a symbol of racism came back in the 2000's. People should be getting less butt-hurt after 100 plus years, not more imo. In this case the flag relates to characters that never showed any racial bias, as far as I know.
@@The82bstewart nahh, we don’t need to keep using racist symbols, plain and simple. If you’re really that attached to it, maybe you should re-evaluate things a bit
@@GodParticleZero Growing up in the south when the show was popular.. I can tell u just as many folks of color loved the show and car as did everybody else.. People who grew up with it know Its suppose to represent being a rebel outlaw not a racist. If your making product representing that car and worried about the controversy then you shouldn't be making it..
That “bad to the bone” is amazing. I like hearing that it has the option to display with ribs instead of the figure holders.
It looks really good, i wonder how nuch we're going to be looking at in terms of price.
Great interview! So much cool stuff in the works! 🤘
Ace and the Ramen toys crew are killing it
Ramen is looking sweet. Another rabbit hole worth getting into.
The MOTU-esqueness of some of those items definitely got my interest.
Aces of Aviation, Great White, and Marshal with Three Zero... sign me up!!
The M.A.S.K. items look really nice.
What scale are those?
Hopefully they can do the whole line of M.A.S.K. vehicles.
It will be interesting to see if Ramen Toy can obtain an MOTU license for figures that appear to be the same scale as Classics and Masterverse.
Only thing Ramen Toys is getting is a Cease & Desist
Much respect for Ace and what he's trying to do! Got my order in for that black Ramen Racer and it keeps looking better every time we see it!
Ace is doing an awesome Job !!
Thank you for the kind support.
Ooooh man, been waiting on the Three Zero reveal. Absolutely incredible.
Ace and Ramen are making some serious moves in the toy sphere!! Definitely keeping an eye on them and their releases
There are many great IPs from the 80s.

Thank you so much for your understanding and support.
That Bravestarr look sick ! Need !
I cant believe you beat pixel dan to getting answers about those protos
I am most excited about Back to the Bone . Having the figure clips to be removable and replaced with bone ribs is a stroke of genius. Can't wait!
Thanks for the video, Geek Dad. Ace, this stuff looks amazing. Congratulations to you and your team. I’m definitely interested in the Marshal line and would love to see more characters added (a female judge perhaps?). Fingers crossed that you get the official licenses you’re pursuing.
Thanks guys! Happy to finally get my preorder in for Great White.
The Marshall 🔥🔥🔥and alternate Keldor head for Skeletor 😮
Totally Stoked for Three-Zero!it's like a dream from my childhood brought to life
Everything is just absolutely 💯% perfect nothing but love from the states
Oh my goodness!! Ramen toys have certainly got my attention finally Bravestar , M.A.S.K and centurion’s at last !
scanned the code and got the V2 Gullwing ordered!!! Miss the tamp, but like that the car will have a more glossy look like the vintage toy.
Ace is Cooking with all these figure reveals. Jay forgot to ask about the replacement head for Falcon and He Man Dolph heads. I look at Ramen’s site to see the release times for Falcon and re-release for the Dolph heads. Hopefully they are coming soon.
Ramens toys look fantastic!!👍
LOVE Ace and Ramen Toys! Lots to love!! Saving my pennies to add some choice pieces
Great video! I’m looking forward to the much needed new Falcon head!!!
Looks great. Very impressive lineup
I can’t believe I missed the first run on that gullwing….. heres to the second run! Hopefully preorders will be up soon
Well done Ace🙌🏼
I am so glad I ordered the ramen racer!!!! It looks better than I thought it would!!! Way better than the billion dollar Asslab version for a better price and it’s an authentic Charger!!!! My Blade figure cannot wait to get his ride!
Their stuff looks amazing! But how are they able to do blatent swipes of properties (MASK, Centurions, etc) they don't seem to have the license for?
It is a fair critique and question. It falls into that 3rd party territory for sure

Any word on that replacement head for Classified Falcon?
About the marshall, will it fit better wit MOTUC or masterverse?
All looks legit. Liking the fighter pilots. Hope the Skeletor gets a green light.

I want the ramen Ryder for my blade movie figure
Hope they get the rights for the motu
Lovin the motu
Everything looks incredible. Can we get a scaled down version of Bad to the Bones for MOTU: Origins figures?
The ability for the ribs to swap out, would lead me to believe it could be swappable, I’ll ask tomorrow
@@GeekDadLife Cool! Thanks!

Amazing 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Commanders & Marshall?
Centurions & Bravestar
Damn battle bones. Hope they get the license and start pursuing lesser made motu .... like mantisaur, spydor,
Is that falcon?
THUNDAR THE BARBARIAN FIGURES!!!
A General Lee with the American Flag on the roof looks silly
I hope you guys get the MOTU license from Mattel, Those prototypes look great!

Mattel doesnt have anything to do with powercon anymore
Scanned the code on my tv. Got the Marshall and Great White. Awsome stuff 😀
It worked!! 🤣
Mu goooooood. That. Rabestatand motu figures are amazing
i want so much of what they are offering but if i do, one can easily spend a grand in that booth alone.
Bad to the bone all the way 100%
Did anyone get the QR code for the Marshal. Figures not on the Ramen toy site like the fighter pilots.
its in this video!

Wait for an online Christmas or Thanksgiving sale later. So you can pick up some atleast.
I hope there were some decals not on display for my Dukes of Hazzard car. I will not be sticking an American flag to the roof

Totally understand where you’re coming from. I was not going to show it, until I saw he went with the American flag version for display.

Nothing is listed under makina labs to order on those toys.your website should have been more prepared.
I think one has to scan the QR code he displayed near the end.
Sure, Jay can afford to go to Powercon, but can't pay Craig back...😢 what a phony. 😂
Who is Craig?
What happened to General Lee's hood sticker? They avoid talking about that... That's NOT the sticker I wanted.
Lol you wanted the racist confederate flag?…. Really?? 🙄

Definitely passing on this line and will continue to post on Facebook and Instagram on how crazy the prices are for this stuff !
