Yes, I realized this too. And thus the thought occurred to me, should I have to make the decision - Mebius over Faiz, any day, every time.

Ideally I can get both, but realistically - maybe not.

I hope it's ok to post it here: How do I fix this color scrach (marked with a black square)? Is there any sticker or a marker with the right shade of white to fill it?
Thank you :)

Nice

Are there any other companies making figuarts style toku figures? Only thing I’ve found is degenerator industry

The big one is Evolution Toy's HAF (Hero Action Figure) line which has a license from Toei and Tsupro to do all sorts of stuff -- Zubat, Metalder, Redman, Akumaizer 3, Izenborg; they even got access to do all five Gorangers about a year ago I believe. However, the line is noted both for higher pricepoints than you'd expect from SHF (their Zabitan, for instance, is 9800 Yen RRP), and their molds being on par with what you'd expect from early 2010s SHFs, especially in regards to proportions. Like, not Kabuto or Kuuga level; but definitely comparable to W or Den-O. I do believe their more recent figures are a lot better, though?

There's also Sentinel's very expensive but - as I hear from everyone who owns one - downright perfect Changerion figure if you're into that guy specifically! You'd probably have to be given he went for 18,000 Yen, but he doesn't disappoint

There’s also Mezco, which will do 1/12 scale figures of Ultraman and the MMPR team. Those have not been released yet, and it may be quite a while until they do. Mezco makes figures that usually have some kind of softgoods clothing.

AceToyz did an unhenshined kamen rider black. They call it Mr. Kurata, like it’s a figure based on the actor and not the (more expensive) Kamen Rider license

Alpha Max is also releasing an Ultraman Tiga figure which looks to be like a Mezco - figure wearing a soft goods costume.

Mafex is doing Shin Ultraman stuff. Slightly bigger than SHF, but could fit in on a shelf.

Super7 is doing godzilla and power rangers.

And those are the 1/12 scale figures I can think of.

As far as I'm aware, all of AceToyz products are unlicensed. Which is why they have an MMPR Red called "Red Hero" and a Minami Kotaro called "Mr. Kurata." Even if they somehow got Kurata's likeness rights, Toei would never have allowed them to use Kotaro's clothing.

Oh yeah. They are definitely up to some funny business there. I wonder if the outfit is legally distinct enough that they can get away with it. For the Mr Kurata figure, I assume they got the actor to agree, or they ate at his restaurant and left a big tip or something, and did not bother with Kamen Rider. If anything, I would imagine the promo pics with the sword and the bike could come back to bite them in the butt more than the outfit choice.

Oh well. Figure still looks pretty good.

Edit: oh man. I looked up the red hero figure, haha. They are flying too close to the sun with that.

Wow I really like that Shin display! The figures were all made so far apart from each other I was worried that they wouldn't match.
