CONFUSED COLLECTOR: “THIRD PARTY? I WASN’T EVEN INVITED TO THE FIRST OR SECOND ONES!”

A third party brand is a brand that provides an alternative product, not supplied by the primary brands to the customers (thanks, Google!).

BREAKING NEWS:

“THIRD PARTY? I WASN’T EVEN INVITED TO THE FIRST OR SECOND ONES!”

ThreeZero. SooSoo Toys. Star Ace. ToysEra. Manniple (hehe…nipple). NOTA Studio. Blitzway, and many more. Those companies all have one thing in common: they have been defined by the toy community as ‘Third party’ brands.

A third party brand is a brand that provides an alternative product, not supplied by the primary brands to the customers (thanks, Google!). Basically, any action figure that is not coming from the bigger brands (Hasbro, Mezco, Hot Toys…) is considered a third party brand, it seems. For example, we’ve seen countless times collectors ask for a one sixth scale figure, in the very official form of a post on facebook: a picture of an unreleased character, with a text saying “HOT TOYS WHEN?”, but when a third party brand does release that character, collectors seem to not want it, because it does not come from the big brands that they trust. What could be the issue?

“I’ve heard that there is a third party, yes. It’s nice and all, but I wasn’t even invited to the first and second ones” says Paul, a long time Hot Toys collector. “Why would I even get to the third party if I wasn’t invited before? I’d rather just wait that Hot Toys announces the toys I want when they have their own party!”.

Some third party brands are more legit than other, and one of the best part about the ‘unofficial’ ones are the names they come up with to avoid raising any eyebrows (*cough* copyright issues *cough*). ToyFarce will hold a ‘Third party name generator’ the whole weekend on social media (instagram and facebook stories), so please, visit the pages and give us some characters, and we’ll come up with their third party names!

REVIEW: THREEZERO’S DOROHEDORO CAIMAN AND SHIN (ANIME VERSION)!

This week, we’re checking the Dorohedoro figures from ThreeZero, the anime version of Caiman and Shin!

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

THREEZERO’S DOROHEDORO CAIMAN AND SHIN (ANIME VERSION)!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

This week, we’re checking the Dorohedoro one sixth scale figures from ThreeZero, the anime version of Caiman and Shin! Dorohedoro is a manga and anime series written by Q. Hayashida. The Netflix show was pretty great and had awesome designs and soundtrack. When Threezero announced they were going to do figures from the anime, I jumped right in and pre-ordered them (I had missed the manga version of Caiman because I didn’t know the manga yet).

Caiman is a BIG BOI. Seriously. He is now one of the tallest 1/6th scale figure I own (if not the tallest). He comes with knives, extra hands, and a different unmasked head with interchangeable parts for different expressions. The figure has great articulations, even though the pants have some padding inside which blocks the leg movements (which can be totally fixed if you do some surgery and remove some of it).

“Bask in his awesome” - Chamba, 2011 — *“Bask in his awesome”* - Chamba, 2011

Handle with care! The back of Caiman’s head is like an hedgehog’s butt!

You can switch from normal to angry eyes, and litteraly say “Prepare to meet Mr. Angry eyes!” (Toy Story)

Shin is a more simple figure, with a normal body, a nicely tailored suit (dirty), his unmasked head, extra hands, and his trusted hammer.

I do not imagine a lot of people display him with his unmasked head. It’s a nice head, and looks just like him in the anime, but the “heart” mask head just looks better.

The tailoring on the suit is amazing. He even has a small wallet-chain, to show that he’s cool!

LOOK AT THEM JAYS! (Yes, I’m one of the cool kids and speak “sneakers”). — *LOOK AT THEM JAYS!* (Yes, I’m one of the cool kids and speak “sneakers”).

The last thing you see before having a hammer-sized hole in your forehead.

Nice details on the body, since Shin was put back together in the manga/anime. Only painted on the hands. — Nice details on the body, since Shin was put back together in the manga/anime (Only painted on the hands, though).

The figures with the manga (all 23 issues of it)!

Classic anime opening pose with a “good” guy and a “bad” guy back to back!

ThreeZero already announced another character from the show, Ebisu, which should come out later this year. Other brands are starting to get on that franchise, as Good Smile Company has announced a Nendoroid Gyoza fairy. Sentinel has also announced sets of 1/12 scale figures from the anime, which are basically two-packs, but the second character is an unarticulated accessory, which is a weird choice. Also, they cost more than those 1/6 figures, so I will stick to the 1/6 ones, thank you very much. ThreeZero killed it!

More news at 11:00… the rest of this review is lost in the chaos. This is Dorohedoro!
