JoyToy is just insane. They make a massive amount of 1:18 Warhammer 40k figures as well (I have way too many). Highly recommend this company.
Warhammer is such a dangerous hole to go down! Haha. Absolutely endless. I love all of their mech stuff, but not sure how I feel about 1:18
Joy toy makes great 1/18 scale stuff including some really gorgeous Warhammer offerings. They don’t do a lot of 1/12 scale figures. I’ve never gone too far into them as I mostly hate soft goods on 1/12 figures. Although they have a HazMat suit figure I’ve been tempted by.
Yeah, the Warhammer stuff is great. 1/18 is a wild choice, but they definitely make it work’
Have you heard of Damtoys? They make a lot of cool 1/12 OCs with fabric clothing. Mostly robots.
I love robots so I’m definitely checking these out. Thank you
Every so often I fall into the well of: I got to see what this brand of toy is like... it's a dangerous well to fall into. Haha.
I've bought Storm Collectibles figures to see how they were, and wow! Pricey but really nice.
Not too long ago, I saw these online, specifically the Frog and video game themed girl. I was tempted, but thus far, I held off, but the detail in the clothing is amazing.
Yeah, at the end of the day it’s the jacket on this one. The longer I have had her the less quality I notice. The base body seems like you could probably assemble it from random Aliexpress parts. But the frog one does look cool!
I recently just took a dive into JoyToy's Dark Source JiangHu 1:18 figures. Found them randomly on BBTS and they looked too good to be true, so I got 1 and was blown away. Like you said, the sculpts, the paint, the details 🤌 Most I've spent on a 1:18 figure, but worth it. Needless to say I shall be getting so many more (what have I done 🙈)
They look absolutely amazing! I’m glad they are as good as they seem online. 1/18 just doesn’t seem like a size I want to do, but at this point why would it matter to me? I have so many different options in just a few months of collecting. Haha
@NostalgiaUnboxed Right.. 1:18 isn't my typical go to but at that size it's more of a space saver while diving down a new collecting rabbit hole. Plus since it's a more "non known" IP, it's kinda a make your own adventure/characters
@@20rileybob yeah, the appeal is certainly there. Unfortunately the space in my videos is the space I have 😂 Need a house
@NostalgiaUnboxed I know that struggle. Just bought a house with the plans of setting up the basement with everything. Quickly, that got shut down with kid stuff everywhere. 2023 is the year of #operationTakeTheBasementBack✊️
@@20rileybob good luck, soldier. 😂 and a house? In this economy?! Lol. I’m in NC and it’s awful
Welcome to the import zone. From now on, you'll never be able to look at Hasbro or NECA figures without feeling disappointed. lol
Haha! Already feel Hasbro is a box of disappointment, but will always hold NECA bear the top. Can’t beat their stuff for the price.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I used to feel the same way about NECA. Because their sculpts and paint jobs were so good, I was willing to put up with the cheaper aspects of the brand, such as the brittle joints and the warped accessories. Then I saw Retroblasting's video on them, and I've refused to buy anything made by NECA ever since.
@@Synthetic_Strigiforme how long has it been? I have yet to ever experience those issues aside from the Aliens and Predators (which I don’t actively buy)
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Since I've bought a NECA product? A couple years, at least. I guess the Alien and Predator stuff must be especially bad, then. I only ever bought their various Xenomorphs.
@@Synthetic_Strigiforme man, you’re missing some solid items now! If you’re experience is really just Xenos then I totally feel your pain! They are pretty awful
Hey Johnathan, this is an awesome video. I was all set to purchase Rin and see that she is sold out! I am gearing up to do a video of my own on miniatures. It's all quite fascinating and fun. And I do use them as models for my artwork fairly often. Rin is a bargain when you consider how challenging it is to find accessories, etc and the little figure kicks ass!
She is super cool! I got mine on eBay…. I think? 😂 I don’t remember now
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I will seek out Rin!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I just posted a Rin video of my own! Let me know what you think. I will probably need to follow this up at a later date. There's a lot more that I could show and tell about.
The figure looks great with Little Armoury weapons add-on.
I want the add ons!
Wait till you discover Mezco and the various lines they produce 😂
Oh I know! Haha. Love their stuff just have to find something I’m into.
nah dude mezco has that pajama thing going on with it's figure
Mezco is great, but still not as detailed as this.
Mezco is what action figures should be. Especially the gomez series.
@@suhtangwongFor $80-100, you get far more from Mezco than you do with this joy toy line for $100, You're not getting much especially accessory wise for $100 compared to other lines you get multiple weapons, head sculps and hands
🔥🔥🔥figure Ralph and a great review!!!
Who is Ralph?
Excellent review! First time seeing your channel! Great job!👍😁
Thank you so much!!
Have you handled any MAFEX or Mezco figures? There are some really nice ones between the two companies. My absolute favorite figures are SH Figuarts' Dragon Ball line-up.
Not yet! I really want to. Looked at new items from Mezco yesterday but didn’t see anything I desired.
I have a Vegeta on preorder from SHF, so I look forward to that one!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I agree, nothing interesting from Mezco’s current reveals yet, but they have some amazing stuff that’s readily available. Check out their new Wolverine! You’ll love Vegeta!
@@EpykkDyzastur oh I always need a good Vegeta!
Good review. I was imagining Joy Toys is bit taller for 1:12 scale. How tall is this one?
its show in the video and compared to other figures
There's one character in this line, the only male, and he'd make an excellent James Bond or John Wick if they could make a suit in his size.
I was told by another commenter about looking at Aliexpress for 1/12 clothing. They have an amazing John Wick on their and even suits if you wanna make your own
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Ahh, I hadn't thought of that, great idea.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what 1/12 scale figure would be best for using other 1/12 scale accessories? I know some of the hasbro head sculpts work well but I was more so thinking like sh figuarts dragonball style headscuplts. Like what figure has the suitable neck peg for that? Is anyone has any suggestions please let me know!
There are way too many variables to answer that. Neck pegs alone are so vastly different, even for SHF only
Can you do SHfigure.arts
I have done tons of them
I believe it's a 1/12 version of Serene Hound 1/6 scale figures by I8TOYS. Katherine, Rine, and Tache.
Oh wow, they definitely seem heavily inspired by those
There’s Vtoys, 6inch+, Very cool toys, dragon horse. And more companies stepping up the 1/12 scale category for toys. A lot of good detailed and highly articulated figures are coming out now. Mezco has a lot of competition.
I can’t wait to look into these brands. Thank you!!
I'm more familiar with joytoy's 1/18th scale stuff. They have some softgoods in there as well. Putting bags and pouches on the big mechs. Their Battle for the Stars line seems heavily influenced by the titanfall video games.
Interesting that they have 1/12 scale figures as well. She looks like she stepped out of a high quality independent action animation.
This is what you go for when you don't want to feel like everything you buy is a service to an established IP. This is fresh articulated toy art that may just mesh with your taste.
I really like their 1/18 stuff and the diorama pieces. Mechs are always cool and this is a dangerous line to get into as they have loads of stuff. The new 1/12 items seem promising but a little bit or miss. That green girl with the arms is just obviously plastic throughout with no weathering on the arms. Strange choice there.
Man the packaging is tight. I like it. Its perfect size. I needn't discard it to save space.
And easy to put everything back for storage
I tend to keep my collecting to stuff I know and care about but like you, I saw Rin and her ridiculously well made coat and just had to snap her up. Really like it, the detail, the griminess, they’re just great. After a day in hand, I snapped up the Mechanic and the Hacker too, they just pop brilliantly together like some odd little post-apocalyptic girl gang. Hell, I’m starting to think the Mechanic might be my fav of the lot. Chunky overalls and honkin’ big wrench to wreck things with.
Awesome! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the others so much. Really wish they painted the arms of CandyFrog to look aged and beat up. She seems out of place
if you are this impressed with a character you don't even know, you really need to look at all the China options.
there are many non licensed stuff, such as resident evil, got an ultimate 2 remake Leon that came with all the different guns, type writer, police station keys and much more.
or a recent Robert Bruce Wayne with a better head than the Mafex the batman promo photos.
outside of pre-made characters,
the seemless bodies that are a metal frame inside a silicon body are amazing, can actually sit a figure in a crossed legs position because the silicon really acts like soft flesh.
the silicon bodies have different body shapes and colours, and many shops sell individual clothing items or sets.
Any site or brand you would recommend looking at? The silicon and clothing options sound interesting
@@NostalgiaUnboxed In Hong Kong we kinda follow groups or local or online shops to see what is coming out. a lot of items come from 1 off names.
for the silicon bodies, TBLeague is the most famous, they do male, female in both 1/12 or 1/6 scale.
Phicen is also popular.
for the clothes or heads, unfortunately you might just have to search key words on aliexpress or other sites that sell from China.
in terms of pre made off brand figures.
Muff toys has a Clark Kent coming soon
aton customs had Robert Bruce Wayne
Patriot has the licker and RE2 cop zombie
brotoys has black and white equilibrium Christian bale
mmmtoys has dioramas
YM toys for ada head items and dress
Damtoys
hope these sets you on the right path 😅
Thank you so much! This is great information and I really appreciate it!
She's wearing a nicer coat than any I have in my closet. 😯
Dude I know haha
I have the frog lady one no preorder. These look rad, wish they included an extra facial expression but still look awesome.
Yeah, that would be great! I hope you like that one. I wish her robot arms were painted up more realistic
This is phenomenal! As I get older I like picking up more random IPs if the toy aspect looks good. I’ve gotta get one of these in my collection!
Yes! The appreciation of the art and quality versus grabbing something for the sake of nostalgia
Agreed. I just got one and, I must say, this is really well thought out and is a quality item. I'm a bit surprised.
Am I the only one that noticed it doesn’t say “sniper” anywhere on that box?! 😂😂
Haha! True
who's Marvel Legends Hasbro again? i'm going for this, it's time to Joytoy!
Hahaha. Yeah, they suck, but are affordable over some of these amazing brands. I suppose Mafex is a could alternative for Marvel stuff
The price tag is more palatable because it’s commensurate with the quality of this figure. This is essentially a 1:12 scale Hot Toy.
THAT is how you do “plastic-free”packaging.
And I still need to get a Hot Toy to experience.
Hot toy come with loose joints right outta the box?
this is what i need ! figure review with size comparison 👍 thx
Thank you! All my reviews now include this segment
This is the largest scale joytoy works with. They started doing 1/18 like 5 years ago, and they started with and still do 1/28 scale, loll. Wanna talk about tiny and detailed
I’ve been looking at their 1/18 and love it, but didn’t know the 1/28. Wow!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah. The 1/28 was mostly for vehicles and Mecha. They only started making 1/18 Mecha about a year ago. The pilots are a little fiddly (but they're less than 3 inch's tall 🫠) and are just as detailed as their 1/18 figures.
I like this line but I have had issues with some of the figures getting too loose. I have Lowe a male character with a similar coat and he has trouble standing up at times and themechanic has a hard time lifting her mechanical hand too. I persoally like the way the joints work better on a lot of Figma stuff more but the soft goods and teh paint apps are top notch on these. I use them for animations so if your just collecting you mileage may vary.
That sucks, I’m sorry!
I never heard, neither about that line or the show it's coming from.
But if the sculpt is enought to make you buy, i admit that on this one, you definitely have somewhat to be pleased about.
It's really really good art, indeed.
Thanks for checking it out! If I had a perfect collection space and could get whatever I wanted I would have many items like this that are just original ideas, but excellent art!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed You're welcome ;)
Haha, with all the space wished, i would simply recreate a new small world.
I love building dioramas on my own.
@@lepauvrefou that sounds great. I wish I had the materials to build my own dioramas
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Ho, it's actually not that complicated.
I'm not a professional and learned a few stuff i found on the internet.
My dioramas definitely don't look perfect, but i had the pleasure to build them by myself.
I don't live in the US, so i don't know in what store you have to go to find the material.
But in the artistic ones, and "diy" (i'm not sure of the word) ones, you should find what it takes to build them.
@@lepauvrefou my biggest challenge currently is that I am in an apartment. I have some friends here that do them, but I wouldn’t be able to in this small place.
Arg, I need one of these just for their jackets! Lol
I know!! Haha it’s insane
You should check out Mezco’s One:12 stuff you’d really like it!
Yeah, they definitely seem to be in my wheelhouse, but I need to find a figure I like. Maybe Captain Nemo. I nearly just want to order their soft goods accessories. haha
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I REALLY wanna get a Gomez. I almost don't care which. They're all so unique!
Oh no, not again.. i am sure tonight i will keep thinking of this, wake up cause i am eager to try this line out aswell.. thanks haha! Great review!
😂 those 🧠🪱 will get you every time!
Its crazy how easy it is to convince collectors to get into a new line! First you got me into the Final fantasy line/Simpsons and now probably this!
@@ActionfigureDad oh wow! That’s unexpected. I hope you have been happy with all of them!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed definitly am! Just the prices are getting out of hand, living in the Netherlands makes it hard to get certain Lines so sometimes its a bit of a risk. Buying the turtles in disguise (also cause of you) cost me a rib!
@@ActionfigureDad well, I’m glad you’re happy with them, especially with the higher prices to acquire them. I don’t buy many items anymore so I can focus on top level stuff I know I will love. I really am never impressed with Hasbro, but I bought the VHS style stuff just for the boxes. Lol
Patreon joke was priceless 😂
Lol. Thank you
You keep saying Sniper but the figure is Rin SINPER 😂😂
Still a looking fig and love your enthusiasm and your vids. Keep up the great work 👏👍🇮🇪
hahahaha hilarious misspelling.
@@NostalgiaUnboxed I wonder if that was done to get around licensing etc 😂😂
@@Sparkykelly1 it’s crazy either way. I love it
@@NostalgiaUnboxed crazy detail in the jacket..those bigger companies could learn a few lessons here 😁
@@Sparkykelly1 especially since they’re all made in China. The cost can’t suddenly be higher because it’s a US company ordering it, right? Maybe?
I'm in a rabbit hole with these products at the moment. I wanted a passenger/driver for an RC car and bought a micro-dress only by mistake. A camera will look over the seats and out (something that's working already). It's going to be fun and I bought some more stuff and look at some more figures.
That's exciting!
I want this company to make Vash the Stampede figure. Why are there not more Trigun figures besides the old Revoltech ones??
That's a great question
I love when stuff like that happens it just looks so cool or interesting man that you have to have it! Same thing happened with me and the game Bloddbourne had no idea what it was but looked awesome.
Yeah! Me too. And anything from… FromSoft is great. Did you play Elden Ring?
I was tempted to get one of these back when it was new. Would have loved to see if that coat looked good on other things like Hasbro GI Joe Classified or Marvel Legends figures.
Too small for 6” figures
There are a lot of newer 3rd party 1/12th lines that put the major companies to shame. 5K toys and VCToys box carries them.
Yes! Been looking at 5K for some time now waiting to grab something new. Wild what is being made out there
What Hasbro and Mcfarlane could never pull off at all, cause they stingy as hell when it comes to their figures detail.
Not wrong
If you like this you should get the limtoys aehab, for a 1/12 figure it has a lot of details and ton of accesories
Thanks for the heads up
Sounds like bro made this to convince his wife on why he got it 😭😭
Don't watch the newer stuff then...
for the price of one 1/12 figure , I can get at least two RG gunplas
Nice
Cat!
Worth the whole video for that
duude! that looks sick!!
Yeah! It’s crazy
I recently preordered a 1/12 Sanada Yukimura samurai figure from Palm Hero since I love samurai and Japanese history and judging by the pictures it looks fantastic (soft goods, removable samurai armor, even a metal blade for the katana, beautiful pain apps). It honestly looks like a scaled down Hot Toy. Looking forward to get it in hand. So I definitely get why this figure is so exciting for you, the work on this is phenomenal.
You just described a dream figure/line! JotToy has a lot of 1/18 Chinese warriors but I want Japanese and 1/12. Thank you! Going to look this up now
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Yeah, I’ve been looking for great history based samurai figures for a while until I discovered Palm Hero. This would be my first one and far as I know it’s the second samurai in that line with Takeda Shingen being the other one, others are mostly Western military. I think they started out as 1/6th scale first but now they move on to 1/12th. Can’t wait to see it in hand, it might be one of the most exciting lines to collect.
@@jarosbodytko6462 they are amazing looking in photos! I hope they are just as great in hand! Thanks again for sharing
Oh Joy Toy! I'm quite familiar with them. They make Dark Source, and 40k War Hammer toy lineup.
Great review on this figure. The amount of detail on her is incredible!
Thank you! Yeah, they crush it in the 1:18 scale. Love all the mechs
@@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah the Mechs are dope. Oh and check out Dark Source JiangHu figures. All of them with a martial arts theme
@@emkhet7924 I will! Thanks!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed no problem👍🏿!
This guy saying 112th is Tiny
For that level of soft goods detail? Yeah. It’s tiny
At $100 a fig, I hope they're the standard. Ouch.
It’s pricey compared to some others, but I would rather have 1 figure this nice versus 4 dookie Hasbro
@@NostalgiaUnboxed depends on which dookie Hasbro properties. 😆
@@SEEshadow marvel
please❤😊
yes
Ahhh yes, there should only be figures that are 100 bucks!
No
