Hello, I wanna do a weekly question. Every Friday I ask the bloggers and give my own opinion!
So MFC, there are a lot of new companies and lines in the figure industry churning out figures.
You've got PLUM, Ques Q, Aquamarine, Lechery etc. who have only started in the last 3 years.
You also have new lines such as the already popular Altair and Cu-Poche.
Who do you think could have the potential to become the next Alter? What specific lines could get as big as the Nendoroid and Revoltech lines?
I'll start:
Cu-Poche: From what we've seen so far, I think they're better than Nendoroids. Cute body style with joints and accessories and they just... Look better. Nendoroids have pretty limited articulation and are a bit annoying to pose but they are still amazingly detailed and really stand out from the crowd.
Kotobukiya's been successful with their Yamashita line and their model kit line which have really gone competitive with Bandai's gundams.
If Koto keep releasing these monthly and keep improving them, we could see the Cu-Poche line being a threat to Nendoroids because they have a lot of pros with them.
PLUM: item #78917 sold INCREDIBLY well for a new company. PLUM should keep that going. I can see them overtaking Alter if, again they released more often with such detail.
They started off mediocre but they are definitely getting better. I mean, MUCH better. I saw them creating another God Eater figure which is good too.
Aquamarine: I LOVED item #120935 . While it was overpriced, the figure was just an amazing first shot by Aquamarine. Hats off to them.
Also, their Gumi looks incredible and could really put them up with the big guns of the figure industry.
Not only do they make Vocaloids other than the same old Miku, but their sculpt and everything rivals that of Alter's high end figures. It's just sensational.
Phat Company: Started off doing Nendoroids and accessories, they finally got to scales and my word, they are excellent. They are virtually now the third big GSC scale company. I don't count FREEing because they just suck.
What are your thoughts?
