Myself and the absolutely incredible Dark-Lys are thrilled to announce that the first ponies of 'Project G2 Re-Do' has been fully funded and are beginning production. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!! I cannot thank Dark-Lys enough for their amazing investment which is making this pony dream a reality. They have personally funded the first production run of the project and we've been excitedly scheming behind the scenes to make this happen. HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART    They are incredible What does this mean for everyone? A first run of blank white G2 ponies are being made. I have a meeting to finalise our requirements with the factory tomorrow but they have been working from a detailed project proposal meaning that these ponies should have: - Plain white bodies made from hollow vinyl with a detachable and posable head - Mane rooting holes pre-punched for ease and a tail hole - Printed eyes matching the originals - Holes for eye gems (gems not included) - In the Sky Skimmer / Pretty Parlour Ivy style pose These ponies will be ready in approximately 4 months!!! No kickstarter required! They will be available to directly purchase - easy peasy! They are being made in the UK by a very reputable toy manufacturer, meaning the materials used will be the highest quality and certified to comply with health and safety standards worldwide. It also means that communicating with the factory to make sure everything is perfect is really easy! I'll be opening a webstore, and Dark-Lys will be an official US / North American distributor which means buying internationally will be a breeze! Additionally we will be offering wholesale orders for any pony shops interested in stocking them. My store will hopefully also include everything you need to customise your ponies including eye gems, rooting kits, hair, possibly cutie mark stamps, and a blog full of tutorials, tips and tricks to make some beautiful 90s style ponies Thank you SO MUCH everyone for your support on this project it's a dream come true. Special shoutout to Uftaki over at MLPTP for helping name the project! So exciting! I can't believe that after 20 years there'll be more G2s in the world! Any questions please feel free to ask - I could talk about this all day!!!

in October 1996, Bandai released the first set of Pokemon Kids, a series of soft vinyl finger puppet figures that were mostly released in Japan [although there were some special releases in Europe and Australia]. each toy comes packaged in a box with a collectible card as well as a piece of candy. there were special clear figures that could be found as secret variants up until the release of the B/W figures.

depicted above are the 8 figures that were in the first set, which, unlike the Pokemon Kids figures manufactured today, were released in a blind box.

Super-babe composition jointed doll

15" tall composition doll manufactured in 1947 by Imperial Crown Toy Co. as an exclusive for Macy's. Jointed at shoulders, hips and head. Doll has sleep eyes that work. Detailed costume is complete, including snap-on stitched fabric cape, shirt w/felt Superman "S" shield chest emblem, cloth shorts, original oilcloth shoes, knitted socks and snap vinyl belt.

The interesting thing is that this Super-babe doll was released before the silver age boom of Superman turned into a baby stories (i.e. the Lois Lane cover is from 1962). I wonder... is the character's iconography just so strong that we too, like Martha and Jonathan Kent, feel the need to hold and take care of a tiny orphan Superman?

[the-bjd-community-confess]

Hello, this is the Oldie Chinese Diaspora™️ Anon here. Someone asked about these dolls that they found in their local import shop and wants to know more about them. Well, here we go. Let me take you out on a journey of meandering rabbit holes.

First things first, it should come as no surprise that these dolls were manufactured in China. However, it -is- difficult to find a specific manufacturer for them. A big part of this is due to the fact that they are classified as toys, and produced in massive quantities without much in terms of copyright enforcements. There are a few things we know: They are not BJDs. They have mechanical joints much like Barbies. They have inset plastic eyes and rooted hair. They can be customized the same way a playline doll can be customized – needs a bit of work, but it can be done. (For example, here:

The face sculpt of the smaller, “Leisure Girl” doll is based off of Lina Chouchou BJDs (closed mouth version: Baby Piyo

https://linachouchou.net/product/baby-piyo/242/?cate_no=27&display_group=1

and open-mouthed version: Mingky https://linachouchou.net/product/mingky/240/?cate_no=27&display_group=1

There is a trend of using a head sculpt from another source and casting them into a vinyl mould to produce toys. It saves on R&D costs since there’s already a head that people find attractive/cute out there. Considering that it often takes years to sculpt a head from scratch, “repurposing” someone else’s head becomes a lucrative option. These heads can be “recycled” and further “repurposed” into different things. And one Chinese netizen has chronicled the descent of Baby Piyo from the legit version, to a recasted bjd, then all the way down to a cheap (creepy?) decorative keychain: https://www.zhihu.com/question/314739696/answer/940578818

Incidentally, Napi Doll’s Carol was among the first and probably the most “recasted” vinyl head in China. They are invariably made of vinyl and were sold as “toy heads” or “practice heads”. According to another Chinese netizen, they are so ubiquitous that they were sold in toy stores outside of schools.

- Sleeping Carol, eyes opened by recasters, as explained in the graphic.

- sleeping Carol

- faceup “tutorial”

The second, larger doll is most likely DBS’s Dream Angel doll (

https://world.taobao.com/item/654623976663.htm

It’s tough to be 100% sure if this is a perfect match from these photos, unfortunately. They are most likely the 1/6 dolls used by the same artist as above for her customization efforts

) According to the Taobao sites that sell them, these were “extras” made to the specifications from an foreign company (meaning a company like Mattel contracted the factory to make 10,000 MH dolls, but the factory made 15,000 instead. And they are trying to sell off the extra.) Despite this description, I find it hard to believe. There are multiple companies that claim to be the manufacturer for these, almost exact, dolls, after all. The story simply doesn’t hold. However, if they really are DBS’s dolls (like these ones here:

Then they are copied from @ngell $tudio’s LiuRuShi. There was a prior post here about this specific “recast” earlier in the blog, I think.

That takes care of the head. The more “legit” version of the 1/8 body most likely came from the company Ding Xiao Ma (AKA “Ding Pony”

https://xp.toysol.com/company/product.aspx?ID=4260&UID=481

based in Shantou, Guangdong, China). They are advertised as “completely designed and made in China” and features a one-part body with articulation in the arms and legs. (13 joints in total, best seen here:

Unfortunately, due to their low price point, many unscrupulous on-line stores and drop-shippers would buy them for resale. And since they are considered “legit”, their prices can be highly inflated (

https://www.amazon.ca/Anime-Vinyl-Desktop-Decoration-Boxed/dp/B082WTP98Q

The less-than-reputable version of the 1/8 body is created by companies like DBS, the grey-area recasters. (

DBS has a two-part body with a swivel joint in the hips whereas Ding doesn’t. The original “swivel hip” doll body came from YeLoLi (which is legit:

https://true-bjd-confessions.tumblr.com/post/678905335364370432/not-a-recast-today-i-learned-the-night-lolita

but has been shrunken down to the 1/8th size. Incidentally, the YMY doll body also appears suspiciously like a shrunken-down YeLoLi body as well. There have been voices in the anti-recast BJD circles in China to recommend OB11 or Nendoroid bodies instead of YMY for that reason.

The larger dolls are 1/6th sized, and they are an interesting story, too. Supposedly, the DBS 1/6th is original (and therefore “legit”

And the company is now advertising them as being compatible with BJD heads if you use their “proprietary” neck adaptors. The body has 28 joints and is a swivel hip that was originally from YeLoLi. But this one has a modified crotch area that was taken from Xinyi (also a legit vinyl doll company

The DBS body might be seen as the illicit love child between these two companies. However, there are still hybrid 1/6th dolls that uses a “recasted” YeLoLi body along with another “repurposed” head, like these listings:

https://world.taobao.com/item/662180419082.htm

For those of you who made it this far with me: Thank you! Definitely pat yourself on the back for making it through such an arduous journey. While your mileage may vary, I hope this is something helpful.

Long story short: these dolls were cheaply made and they could probably trace their ancestry back to a more legitimate source. After several different rounds of recasting, sometimes into a different material, the features muddy and their price points drop. And they end up wrapped in plastic bags and being stuffed by the dozen in baskets.

Note 1: This is not to say there are no legit vinyl BJDs or MJDs. I hope that I have shown you that there are still legit sources and we should do our best to support them in the face of massive “repurposing”. These companies are really fighting an uphill battle.

Note 2: Shopping sites usually have a tracking serial when you try to copy and paste their listed content. This is how these websites track your geolocation and if you have shown repeated interest for targeted marketing. I have removed all tracking codes in the html in this post, even for folks who uses a VPN, this should still work. (Fingers crossed!)

a guide for where to buy OFFICIAL anime merch and not over pay

Fun fact! Most US retailers actually up charge a ton, mainly figures; especially stores like Target or major retailers. So overall, the main rule of thumb is to not buy in person; even places like BookOff overcharge on lots of stuff. For example I saw a pop-up parade figure for 70 USD. Which is actually insane, as the pop-up parade is advertised as low-budget by GSC (good smile company) the manufacturer. So, now you are stuck looking online; but how can you tell which sites are legit? (Unless if it’s a store like GameStop, or even Michael’s…? I actually found some prize figures at a reasonable prices; but it was a small amount)

If you are looking for figures from GCS you can visit their global website, you could also use their US site; as it will have seasonal sales (4th of July and Hoilday events) but shipping will be more expensive; I’m not sure why, but the global sites shipping is cheaper for scale figures.

US site> https://www.goodsmileus.com/index.php?route=common/home

Global site > https://www.goodsmile.com/en

For more website; good smile also lists there official retailers, so you know they are legit.

link to official retailers> https://partner.goodsmile.info/support/eng/partnershops/

And here are some other good stores:

Amiami had figures and posters and even pins bags etc; they even have a section to buy pre-owned figures. But pricey shipping; as they are established in Japan.

if you are looking for rare figures or, retro merch Mandrake is the best option!

If you are just in the US or looking for lamps; crunchy roll has some good options too! And they merged with a manga store, so they have some of that too.

And, Amazon Japan is the GOAT when it come to merch! (Amazon US can be used; but don’t expect to find any deals; and always check the seller as well, and expect to find bootlegs.)

What are PVC figures?

In the vast world of toys, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) holds a prominent place as a versatile material used to make a wide variety of toys.

PVC is a synthetic plastic polymer produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer. It is known for its elasticity, making it ideal for applications where strength and durability are critical. PVC is often used in construction, healthcare products, and of course, in toy manufacturing.

PVC figures are known for their toughness, which allows them to withstand rough play and frequent handling without breaking easily. The material can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing manufacturers to create intricate designs and details in their toys.

PVC is relatively inexpensive compared to other plastics. When PVC is used in toys, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that it meets safety standards in terms of toxicity and stability. This ensures that PVC figures are safe for children when used as intended.

PVC can be used to create a variety of dolls for different age groups and interests:

Many collectibles and dolls on the market are made of PVC due to its ability to retain intricate details and bright colors. The material's waterproof properties make it ideal for vinyl toys, allowing the toy to withstand water damage without deterioration.

PVC figures are often used for dolls and miniature play sets because it is easy to mold into a variety of shapes and is able to replicate textures. It is also used in educational toys such as building blocks and puzzles to provide durability and safety for young children. PVC is also a common material in the figure manufacturer, which can better reflect the details of the design and show the designer's ideas more perfectly.

PVC figures play a vital role in the toy industry, combining durability, affordability and versatility. From action figures to educational tools, PVC remains the material of choice for creating diverse and engaging toys for children around the world. As the industry develops, so will the materials and methods used to ensure that PVC dolls remain a safe, durable and environmentally friendly choice for consumers.

Understanding what PVC figures are and why they are important can help you make smart choices when buying toys that balance fun with safety and the environment.

How to Paint PVC Vinyl Figures, Create Your Own Vinyl Figure Toys

[nomadicism]

I keep having dreams that they finally made Lotor action figures (I collect action figures and I know dreaming about that is weird but...). They sure do make a lot of Voltron-themed items I have no interest in getting, and so, so many Voltron-only figures. Why do you think they haven't made recent figures of the characters?

Hi there, thank you for the Ask!

It’s not weird, I collect figure too so I get you.

I wish they released figures for the rest of the VLD cast, but that will never happen. There are a few different reasons:

Action figures are for boys aged 7-10, and it’s a very crowded field for their attention and parents’ money

Action figures are also for all ages and genders but I assume (I don’t have anything to back this up and don’t have time to look into it) that since white men statistically make more (dollar ratio) than other genders and races, that their hobby interests are prioritized.

The Voltron IP is all about the lions and the robot, not the characters. Licensors understand this and they know that those of us who have been buying the robot figures since the 80s will continue to do so. Making Voltron toys and adult collector figures is a sure bet.

Other kinds of merch, like shirts or skate decks, are gonna stick with the robot because the robot is the recognizable face of the brand.

VLD didn’t do well with the target demographic so we’ll never see anything else from VLD. It’s popularity outside of the target demographic is irrelevant because it didn’t yield sales or anything that licensors could use for anything beyond merch and they don’t even care enough to make lion slippers.

I think the most likely way to see a Lotor figure or any other character would be for hobbyists to make them at home, or for Hong Kong bootleggers to create them (probably from custom GI Joe or nendoroid molds). There is a market for that sort of thing. You see it with Transformers.

I dated someone back in 2000 who used to fabricate GI Joe accessories at home with a plastic that was indistinguishable from the originals and sell them on eBay. So GI Joe parts aren’t that difficult to make at home, especially with the tools available today.

It’s also possible to learn vinyl toy design and fabrication at home, as well as ball-joint doll modding.

The only commercial option would be for someone to license the IP for manufacture of figures. This could be done with nendoroids. The difficulty is having the right people who know how to do all of that legal and contract stuff and then having the money to license the IP. Technically, anyone can license an IP like Voltron, it’s just a matter of having the money to do it.

Acrylic keychain

What if there was a quick, affordable way to put your company's name in front of potential clients numerous times a day? What if you could almost ensure that your customer would see your message wherever they went? Custom acrylic keychains actually work like way; it's not just a marketing fantasy.

 Numerous Opportunities for Promotion

There are many opportunities in the retail industry to give your clients one of these innovative promotional items. With car washes, dealers, auto parts shops, or any other business focused around cars, keychains are a surefire hit. When trouble arises, people will immediately think of your store. A keychain with your contact information on it is even better so that you may always have access to it.

You don't have to work with cars, of course. can use keychains into your marketing strategy. Garden centers might hold a tomato growing competition and award the winners with ingenious keychains in the shape of tomatoes. The owners of all participating pets might get a goody bag filled with dog treats, toys, and a unique keychain if pet businesses sponsored a spay and neuter clinic.

Not just retail establishments profit from this type of marketing, though. Consider the neighborhood insurance agent who promotes safe-driving events at nearby high schools and provides a personalized keychain to each attendee. When it comes time to look for auto insurance, you can probably guess whose name is at the top of the list. Or the dentist who gives parents a keychain as a gift during National Children's Dental Health Month in February. Not this Not only emphasizes the key message that dental care is a crucial component of their child's health, but also acts as a continual reminder to make that next visit.

 Get inventive with your offer to motivate clients to keep and utilize your keychain to increase exposure and brand awareness. Give your tomato enthusiasts a free tomato plant for the upcoming season, for instance, when they gift this year's keychain. If the young people who attended your safe-driving event bring their keychains into your office, you may offer them a discount on their vehicle insurance. Your business will become even more recognizable if you incorporate an interactive element into your offer. Additionally, delighted clients will readily discuss their interactions with your company and display their fortunate keychain as well. Appropriate for All Brands

 Keychains come in a wide range of designs to match every brand. An exquisite metal duplicate of your brand for luxury retail establishments demonstrates your sophistication. The usefulness of a clear message, whether it's a crucial phone number or a kind reminder to make an annual visit, will be valued by medical offices. friendly surf shop? Your personality will stand out in bright colors and amusing artwork. Any trademark or design, from traditional polished brass to intricate multi-color graphics, can be reproduced in a metal keychain.

Look for manufacturers who use premium materials and provide excellent customer service when selecting a keychain seller. The cost of design services, professional color matching, and your choice of attachments should all be covered. When It only makes sense to get the highest quality keychains available when you take into account that your clients will probably wear them for many years to come.

 Vograce supplies custom stickers that can be made in any shape and pattern with good adhesion, fast delivery and favorable price. We make customized stickers at your will.
