Nippon toys vs American

Anonymous Tue 26 Jul 2016 11:19:29 No.5818084 View View Reply Original Report

Why are Jap figures and dolls so much better looking and cuter than Murican shit? Seriously, if I had this cute-ass shit like Nendos and BJDs back when I was growing up I would've never grown out of toys!

Americans just suck at design, how on earth could anyone with taste find shit like Barbies and Funko POPs visually appealing? Why do Muricans and normies eat up this crap?

Dude, that Barbie on the left costs how much?
30$?
The BJD on the right is a nicely customized Volks which costs several hundred dollars, was hand-painted and probably wears eyes that cost more than the Barbie itself.

Left one is supposed to be a true toy.
It's supposed to be handled by children, played with, withstand some rough handling, needs to be easily mass-produced and so on.
On the right you have a hand made resin doll in 1/3, fully customized and made by one of the more expensive BJD companies, for adult collectors.
Two totally different things.

At least pick a similar fashion doll from Japan and not some high-end, huge, fully customizable doll.

adding:

You are an adult collector.
How many of the things you collect from japanese toy companies (like Nendos, Figmas and co.) are supposed to be for children?
I doubt a Figma is a regular action figure for a six year old in Japan.

Most of the popular Western toys are made for children though, why do people still expect these toys to be close in quality to adult collectables?

Fail, cause Licca-chan dolls which are the equivalent to Barbies over in Japan STILL look much better and cuter, sorry but its time to face facts: Muricans suck at design.

Not them, but I don't see what's so special about those dolls. You also have to realize that western and eastern interests aren't necessarily the same.

Seems like you can't tell the difference between opinion/preference and facts

That's just your taste though.
I personally think both Barbie and Licca look really bland and cheap, now what?

To be fair, American toy companies have been shit at making really cute stuff for decades. They usually end up with a "seen some shit" derp eyed uncanny valley expression. I have a passing interest in stuff like Littlest Pet Shop, Strawberry Shortcake etc and the last decade has generated some creepy shit toys.

Japan on the other hand perfected kawaii 2 decades ago with Hello Kitty, and has been churning well made, kawaii as fuck mascots out the door since.

And OP is retarded comparing those 2. America gets decent enough Ben10, CN and Power Rangers, but Japan has to live with Sofubi garbage.

Y'all niggers know that you're in a troll thread, right? This is just some summer kid trying to rustle some jimmies with a stupid argument.

OP tried stirring up shit in the fashion doll general, as seen here: >>5815371 But he got nowhere. Now he's trying to attention whore in the face the general /toy/ populace with this thread. Just call OP a retard, sage, hide, and move on on.

BTW, you are a retard, OP.

Yes and that's the fact that western judgement over what's cute is shit! They wouldn't know cute if it hit them over the head with a hammer as this anon here >>5818123
sufficiently explained.

Which is a shame cause the West used to actually be really good at doll making, during the Victorian Era some of those classic Porcelain Dolls are breathtaking and adorable, then it all went to shit during the rise of Barbie.

You clearly don't know what subjectivity is anon. Your opinion is not more right than anyone else's. Sage because it's not really worth talking to you, you'll never grow up.
