>>7719555>I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Mafex is making this guy, it feels so out of left field lolNot really; a lot if you guys really only know anime/comic/videogame figures in the 1/12 scale or smaller, but here's some food for thought; Asian companies like Enterbay have had huge success doing figures of real life figures, especially celebrities. Bandai isn't behind Mafex, but they've said that they consider their competition to be things like Hot toys more so than Hasbro. Medicom's whole MO with Mafex initially had been to do realistic replicas of live-action stuff, with exceptions. They've expanded more lately to comic stuff, but I think they're definitely gunning for that 1/6 market by making smaller, cheaper versions of things covered by those lines. Given the small living spaces over there I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people would opt for this Jordan over an enterbay for space reasons besides just price. Plus Japan has a huge sports nerd culture.
