Okay I hear yeah sad thing is I never heard of him before and look him up on google and from what I read was he an ok singer but there was more about his personal life then his music with the info I found. It just has to do with the fact that if Bandai is going to make figuarts of singers they should pick a singer that is more well known that all. It be cool to see Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, or ACDC singers that I heard of and listen to their music get figuart treatment not someone I don't know nothing about and never heard of.
Also in a way with Bandai going into many other toy lines I do feel that some of them take away from Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. Ex Marvel figuarts those release could been for other figuarts like Sentai or Rider but they were release instead. And again, you completely misunderstand how this works. This in no way affects how Bandai releases items from Kamen Rider and Sentai. They already plan those slots months in advance and pace them in such a way as to minimize shelves being clogged. Granted this does not always work, but then again, supply does not always equal demand and vice versa. And this is why Sentai releases are so few and far between right now: They just do not sell as well as a lot of people hope they would. Marvel is a hot property right now, and so it stands to reason, with Hasbro dominating sales over here and not giving two craps about elsewhere, Bandai is going to jump on it with their own line of high-quality collectible figures.

As a side note, while ACDC is one of the most known bands, the general public probably wouldn't know of both singers or be able to name one in full? Sure rock fans will, but if you we're to go out on the street in America or Japan and ask a random person to name a singer of ACDC, do you actually think they would be able to do so? Or do you simply believe "I know them and that is all that matters, forget everybody else?" Quote:

Look I already told you what I think ok if you like him find but I don't and his music is not that good. Maybe he well known in London but in the US he not got it.

High-quality collectible figures yeah Iron man sure is but capitan America, hulk, thorn they were really cheap looking as figuarts and even den-o did not care fro them.
As far as Justin Bieber he is everywhere so he well known and has live performance in the US. |

... I don't know how you reached that conclusion, but that is so disconnected from reality that I think you may have subconsciously pulled from an alternate universe.

If you actually were to find comments from music critics throughout the years you would see is one of the most highly regarded singers to have been within rock and music as a whole. What went on with his personal life is of no concern here. If Bandai carries on with this legends line, that it is a line to celebrate the achievements and greatness achieved by a musician or any other person they would make.
The thing is though, Freddie Mercury IS a well known singer in both the rock and general music world. From his work with Queen, to Live AID, to getting known from a later generation with the soundtrack to A Knight's Tale. Just because you don't know of him doesn't mean that others don't and that they celebrate his work. This is the same pigheadedness that we saw when you claimed the Driv Figuarts releases were bad because "I don't like the show designs. As a side note, while ACDC is one of the most known bands, the general public probably wouldn't know of both singers or be able to name one in full? Sure rock fans will, but if you we're to go out on the street in America or Japan and ask a random person to name a singer of ACDC, do you actually think they would be able to do so? Or do you simply believe "I know them and that is all that matters, forget everybody else?" Again, it doesn't. Figuarts is one large line. To claim that doing musicians takes away from another is like saying that Kamen Rider takes away from more anime ones. You're argument here is practically a double edged sword in that your logic to you is solid, but it can also be swung back around at you. |

So? You make it sound like his word and opinion is the law, just like you present your opinions to be. Besides, how can you judge a toy's quality if you have never handled it? Reviews can give you a brief idea, but until you can mess around with one you never fully know if it is good or not.
Or Torca, I never experienced Gold Plastic Syndrome before but with him, I can have a frame of reference to how that feels and looks like (in case the new G2 Slingshot does go bad). |

BTW how can I judge a toy's quality simple go to this website Shishioh.info the guy there takes pic of the figuarts he reviews up close and I can tell if the figuart is good or cheap. Maybe u never heard of him before? |
