Why are Japanese /toy/'s so vastly superior to anything that comes from the west?

This. The figure market on Japan is really huge. It's why figure hobby magazines are still a thing in their country.

There's a lot going on, but at it's core it's because you're buying japanese toys that aren't being made for kids. I see a lot of people ask why western toys aren't using revolver or figma joints, and it's partly because kids toys tend to made so they can't come apart into smaller pieces. After a few dozen other design choices all along those lines, you wind up with the very different end results that you get. However, when you look into "western toys that are not made for kids" it has it's own set of culture and history. A lot of people marketed with "art piece" sensibilities, so you get mcfarlane lightly jointed statues, or intentionally replicating technology of ancient kenner figures.

Japanese toys have solidly controlled the mid-range $50-200 dollars. If you just want something perfectly solid and representative of a series or character, you usually can't get much better than a figma or whatever. If you have a kid who loves a show there's probably a $10-20 western toyline that will satisfy them.

Unfortunately nobody else is going to take risks on C-Z list characters that dedicated groups of people love. As amazing and well done as it would be, I don't see Mafex or Revoltech making Death's Head 2. You could make the argument that nobody really cares about that character, and to an extent that's true, but they are still characters that can amass a following at some point.

I think part of the issue is really the re-use in molds or the lack of innovation in articulation or care. They're changing stuff surely but very slowly.

I think it has to do with the culture and market appeal. To beat a dead horse: Japan focuses on a general collector market and craftsmanship, while the west (at least America) focuses on the kid market and playability. It's very rare to see toy stores in the states. During my visit to Japan (in Tokyo, Shinjuku and Akihabara) there were tons of toy stores with people of all ages and genders shopping there. It was amazing. I wish we had that sort of appreciation for toys in the states. With that said, there are also toys catered to kids in Japan too, just that its more accepted that there toys/models/etc. are appreciated more there based on the market. I know people will hate to hear this, but with Funko and other toy companies catering towarrds that collector market we're seeing a slow acceptance of that collector market in the past decade (outside of big names like Star Wars and Transformers). However we've also seen equally more junk toys that cater to the lowest demographics made of the cheapest quality to counter that movement. It's a weird time.
There's a good video on gacha toys that kind of goes into detail about it with regards to Japanese culture.

They are generally better because of the materials used, sculpting techniques and other factors. But are they "4-6x the price" better? Well... that's the real question because import prices have nearly doubled in the past few years.

Shitty source material is a strong, valid argument but it isn't relevant in this discussion because we're talking about the pros and cons of the toys themselves.

>>8110412
>lower prices
No. Prices are lower in America only. America has clearance sales and trade deals allowing it to get it's products cheaper. For example off the top of my head, Early Survival Fortnite toys go for around 20$ in America. In Europe they go for 30€, which is 32,5$. Australia has some additional taxes and restrictions that make toys more expensive, and neither continent has such frequent and big discounts. What little jap merch reaches us has prices on par with western products and it's quality blows western toys out of the water.

Literally compare the two videos. On the Marvel Legends one, when the woman was talking about the heads, she was talking kinda fast and looked irritated. Compare that to the Nendoroid vid, they're more calm.

One thing I think we can agree on is how with American toylines you are more likely to get the full team plus villains to fight.

They've made all the movie Avengers and most of the super villains for them to fight.

They've made every single Karate Bug Man, but I don't think I've ever seen any of the rubber suited monsters for them to beat up.

You can get the entire cast of Star Wars + random background aliens in multiple scales over the decades.

For Evangelion we've been waiting years for a Figma/Revoltech of Shinji, Misato, Gendo, & Kaworu; and we haven't gotten any decent angels that aren't the evil Eva units.

I mean i love ALL of those as they were in their respective media forms, but i dont really want a toy of them. Whenever i do buy their toy, they just lose play value and end up storage or returns.

That is generally true. We still have issues with getting all the characters, but the more characters there are the more likely you'll get a figure of who you want. The Japanese lines usually focus on on the heroes and maybe one or two villains, despite popularity of said characters. Also if a character is popular and obscure, they'll get released in a way that makes it hard for fans to get that figure, like through P-Bandai for example. Still butt-hurt they released the Gargantuans vinyls as a P-Bandai release.

Are you talking to me? I don't know much about Squirrel Girl, but I suspect people who like Squirrel Girl or who want to complete a team want a Squirrel Girl figure. If you are referring to the Marvel Legends line by that question, they keep making obscure villains into figures (some who have never had figures before). For recent examples, they made White Rabbit into a figure. I don't know anyone who was a White Rabbit fan before, but I think the overall reception was that she was a welcome addition to the rogues gallery collection. On the other hand many people kept asking for a new Classic Vulture figure and we just now recently got one. If it were a Japanese-based figure line we probably would have got neither of those figures.

I have no idea what you are hoping to achieve with your responese besides (You) because I never brought up that character or know barely anything about them. If you want to talk more about Japanese versus Western toys I'm all for it though.

Kamen rider is a bad example to pick. A lot of them are limited releases, but there's definitely action figures of a great many villains and mooks at this point. Ultraman and other such things are similar, fucking loads of monster toys from all different years and series.

America hasn’t raised wages for years. Some states have a minimum of $15 hourly now instead of $7.20 or so, but that’s still ridiculous when unemployment is just over $19 an hour when you break it down.
Weird, it’s almost like the government knows how much people need to live, and businesses blatantly don’t give a shit, so we’re stuck with no buying power and lower quality goods. It’s not just toys.

Japanese toys for kids are better at the same pricepoint. It's just laziness, greed, stupid market restrictions, and a lack of interest from kids. Games still cost 60 dollars, or are free, shitty knock off quality toys are creeping up on 30$ now.

If you're a kid with money, are you gonna buy a shitty oval waist Spidey or are you gonna save a bit more and buy the ps4 spidey game.

the game, since you get more out of games than you do of toys for most people, the cost is pricing most newcomers out of the hobby and alienating older collectors. Japan doesn't have this issue, because japan fosters a healthier market for this stuff.

No, but seriously, here is how it was explained to me. Hasbro and Takara both decide to make a TransFormer. Takara designs the toy and then sets the price. Hasbro sets the price and then designs the toy.

It's all about priorities. In the long run, they both spend the same amount of money. The Japanese way simply balances high and low cost naturally instead of forcing it arbitrarily.

Think of it this way. Suppose you left foot was size 9 and your right foot was size 11. Would you rather wear one of each size shoe? Or would you suffer a set of size 10s that was too big for one and too small for the other?
