I thought American superheroes outside of Spider-Man are not very big in Japan. I guess if Broli sells well then large size characters can work as figuarts. Hulk and Doomsday would make good figuarts in my opinion.

Japan loves Marvel/DC. You wouldn't be seeing all of these Figuarts/Figma/Revoltech/Mafex/Nendoroid figures if they didn't, since for the most part they can't be sold in the US.

Didn't the Nolan Batman movies and the Arkham games bombed over there in Japan? Japan has their own superheroes, so I can see why they don't seem to care that much for American ones. I hear the Marvel vs. Capcom games are more popular overseas. Manga of American superheroes like Shadow of Spawn and X-Men Misfits seem to sell poorly over there. I also hear most American comics don't get translated into Japanese.

Yeah, not digging that Broly at all sorry. Really sucks that Nappa got canned but that somehow got a pass.

Guyver Spawn · 06-24-2014, 03:15 AM

Nappa can still happen if Broli sells well enough.

losondro · 06-24-2014, 03:30 AM

Screw regular Nappa! I want a Ghost Nappa figure!

Yeah, his shoulders are WAAAAAAAY too big.

Broly looks pretty good there. Cool to see him finally happening.

MidoGreen · 06-24-2014, 06:54 AM

Please let Broly be some sacrificial lamb in design so we can get armorless Nappa someday.
