"Grey wonderful" -- part of small and medium-sized brands horse year review notes (The first part) -Inflamestoys, poptoys, wordbox.
In the previous stage a film brush screen - European and American phenomenon "Fifty shades of grey" movie. Grey is a series of color between black and white. Darker than white, shallower than silver, dim, than the red chilly.
In the 12 inch action figure model world, there are some manufacturers, they are not flourishing and professional as HT, without appeal in the star project like EB, not strong as DAM in the original , there is no long qualifications in the military field like SS. They are not red purple line group, but they are potential,just like the colour of grey, running towards the light , their advantages and disadvantages are also obvious.In this grey area, effort to the pursuit of the ultimate and perfect , some works of quality and brand name and exposure gradually began to better than other brands.Cute shark selected some representative small brand manufacturers and products from these manufacturers to make a review and introduce for you. Please forgive if some place is not exhaustive.
Inflames toys
Which is the most difficult name to remember in all soldier community manufacturers names? If Inflames toys calls second, probably no one can be called the first. The game players who ask cute shark about products of Inflames toys, almost no one can call out Inflames toys’s full name, they call it "the monkey......" or just call it "monkey factory". Inflames means flame, also seems to indicate it will be like fire and become the leader soldier small brand manufacturers, as that the fame of a monkey.The product line of Inflames toys has diversified subjects, there are classical character themes (such as the journey to the west, romance of the Three Kingdoms), there are also Games Theme (the earliest alloy equipment and this year launched the killing fields), and the animation themes (such as cowboys from hell, Naruto). Among all of these players’ favorite is a classical theme.A classical 12 inch dolls theme, there is more than one manufacturer is in manufacturing in the market. Soul and 303toys are the strong competitors in the subject of product line. But there is no doubt that is Guanyu when it comes to well-selling in the year and access to a high degree of concern and praise.
Inflames Toys X Newsoul Toys Shen Yong Guan Yu Kuan containing stone platform
The Guan Yu of Inflames Toys drawn from the version of TV series Suk Bung Luk Ban Guanyu of 1994 CCTV.It has three shapes of a full armor, all green robe and semi clad, you can alter their furnishings.
Head of the beard is simulation hair type and the beard is nature, better than early 303toys Guan Yu head , and the surface is also very life like. But the manner is single (only a head dress in carving configuration).The style of armor is similar to the Sun Wukong's armor generally. But the animal head, metal lines and details are different.
The armor maintains its consistent high quality . The shoulder is changed into a magic stick installation, it’s more convenient than the monkey king armor to wear. What’s more is that the details of armor is very good, finishing well. There is a saying: people rely on clothes horse saddle, this suit of armor reflects the putting off of the generals prestige and afford general name well!
Dragon Yanyue Dao and Longquan sword plastic texture strong (maybe manufacturers is intend to convenient players swing POSE and lift the doll smooth considered. Before 303toys produced Guan Yu, dragon Yanyue Dao is the metal material. It with very component and texture when touched, but not so good as the monkey factory when it is put on pose, because of the weight, this is purely a turnip green vegetables Everyone has his hobby.).
The platform is a piece of stone, engraved on the five word poem, "the general intrinsic aptitude, volunteer crown: past and present. To walk a hundred battles, a million enemy. "Although manufacturers choose platform instead of configuring horse, but you can show off putting a noble gas, the sword standing on the platform of putting off the momentum than the common 12 inch figures to be more.
In general, Cute shark thinks this is a great work! In some ways, the product quality and workmanship has not lost the first tier manufacturers brand quality! This is also the reason that cute shark choose to introduce it first. Cute shark’s small partners go travel to neon country during the spring festival, finding the price of Akihabara HOBBY heaven has more than RMB2000! Comparison of words, the domestic price of this product is rising, but still worth buying. Friends like it, seize the opportunity!

Inflamestoys 1:6 Sun Wukong 2 anniversary edition of Monkey King
Head has high similarity, the only insufficient is the transition between sik hair and face is not natural.Clothing is very gorgeous, It is very eye-catching when placed in the cabinet, at first glance, is definitely the one and only temperament. The gold hoop stick’s texture is very strong.This edition of Monkey King produced by Inflames Toys upgrade a lot on the basis of before. In the whole ,it is a very gorgeous a work. When they launched in 1, many game player is not scheduled, because the price target is very high. After less than one year, and the introduction of hair version of the 2, was in the game player has caused some controversy, a lot of game player will want to buy before the predetermined. Spot prices have become very high,the monkey plant replace the agents just after the product, since this there have been no similar sales storm to Qitian 2 afterwords . Game player can alsopurchase their products with a relative stable price and by a convenient way.

R.E.D.MARK X INFLAMES 12 inches, one new: Battlefield armored infantry
Head is done old very good, the battery used in the eye lamp needs to purchase.
Cloth from inside and out with sweater, wool coat, cloak, tactical vest, tactical armor, a total of five layers. Dress is more personal, without much sense of burden.
Plastic pieces has strong toughness, players almost don’t need to worry about playing bad. And rubber parts used on the old do moderate, sense of metal is very strong. But the weapons almost completely immobile, due to weapons modeling, only the basic gun modeling can be set out in Figure, firing position may be relatively stiff pendulum. Components’ old-done point to namely stop, especially tactical vest almost completely failed to do the old. The work of this product is still quite satisfactory. But it is a pity that the game theme of the 12 Inch Doll products popular in domestic is limited, plus without copyright, the reaction in the domestic market has been tepid.

INFLAMES TOYS RM002 NINJA STORM Ninja Storm
The skin translucent material of this I love Luo something serious, the feeling is very tender, also let the structure become very tough. Some players has reflected eyes a bit false, probably because the eyes are painted.
I feel that the structure of nose and mouth can be simplified, refering to Japanese hands to do the practice.
Ferrite is compact, mobility is quite large, a variety of hand types can make attacks, it also has the special arms hand type.Hyacinth on crack treatment is good and restore the animation look.

Inflames toys IFT-009 of journey to the west the sun walkers when the three head

This product has three different expressions of the head (face, laughter, anger expression expression) are used in hair planting technology, the configuration is likely to be rich, after all, the allocation of 3 heads carved in a doll in the product case is really not much to see.The material of the clothes and a good color, only clothing styles slightly more simple.Accessories in the clouds are cotton Corporation, personally think that to do with cotton clouds, a little just passable, if processing mode similar to the seven dragon ball toy, may the effect will be better, of course, this is purely a small shark personal views ah.
The sun walkers have not shipped, no real, from the official map, head both God shaped, face and hair border a little stiff.In general, it is very a worth looking forward work!

Inflames is making progress all the time, no matter in the theme of innovation and quality of the product or product design and good intentions extent. But when take a look at the number of products launched throughout the year ,it less than the best tier manufacturers or the same level of manufacturers. I hope Inflames can enhance their capacity at the same time when ensure product quality under the premise of the standard, to provide more and better works for the players !
POPTOYS article
POPTOYS is a new factory in recent years, from almost unknown to the public to launch their own first doll clothing products (TAD combat suit) to today's popular game player praised series doll clothing products (uniform, men and women suit class), POPTOYS spent more than two years. They are not like the monkey factory choose to design and produce the whole box figures product at first, but aims at doll clothing, make all efforts to achieve perfection, this attitude gets most game players’ praise. Cute shark query the "series" meaning specially: this series of exquisite tailoring and workmanship for characteristics. LOGO "X" represents the cutting scissors, but also Chinese characters "type" Pinyin’s first letter.
As the movie "the Avengers I" in the world, POPTOYS movie in elegant and charming evil Loki suit entity modeling, this product has been widely acclaimed by the game player.
POPTOYS series X13 1/6 and Loki LOKI windbreaker suit
Suits and coats version of this set of straight close, excellent workmanship. According to POPTOYS's own introduction, series of the West and suit all through high temperature ironing and shaping, this one is not exception. The purpose of doing so is to ensure that the game players don’t need to take care of it can basically shows the effect of wearing the official in the picture. Cute shark set of one after getting the product, discovering the actual effect is good. It looks POPTOYS is really confident with the . This suit, if only to wear a suit and not wearing a coat, the effect is very good, match with a star handsome head, very attract eyeball. Another game player in the movie rocky reflect wearing tuxedo instead of coats and suits, smaller sharks specially to research it, find the first eye is easily mistaken for a tuxedo, but careful observation of a few times (after I downloaded a 1080P Full HD), discovered that God is inside of a suit, the outer coat, that the reduction of POP is very good. This set is also equipped with a stick shape heart scepter, if you put the 2 stick at the same time, take in your hand the words, Is it right? Is like a pair of local gold version of the chopsticks?

Let’s take a look at several other products under the POP in the year of introduction, basic mostly doll clothing set.
At the end of the horse year, POP introduced a whole box of female figures, this doll themes are MI6 six military virgin agent, but the figure heads are different and clothing colors are different too, but the parts are the same. This product belongs to the first whole box of dolls in the “series”, before POP had a X09 Master Ninja suit, but only with the head and without a body, this time was configuration complete.
POPTOYS:1/6 series of X17- MI6 and six female detective - a total of 3 (including ferrite head)
As we all know, female figures most important part is the head, if the head is not good-looking, basically you desire to buy will be greatly reduced. This set of products select three female vulture, looks nothing need to be criticized. Head hair hair is soft and be suitable for care. The eyes of the coating are very easily in the picture reflected light to the eyes.Body joints tight, not transparent rod to support, can also set out a more mellow female action.Garment cut is good, straight and quite, this is POP's consistent strengths. The white shirt internal use of adhesive tape Velcro, when the game player play shooting needs attention, if exposed will affect the appearance of the whole. This small shark estimation is manufacturers for cost considerations, they are not really true buttons with buttonholes technology to create. The attached accessories include TTL type vulture replacement connector, this POP want more thoughtful, head can be matched with other body.In general, this is a satisfactory product.

"Wilderness survival" EX001 is POPTOYS the first complete mean of the 12 inch works, choose Bei Ye as the subject. (small shark think that although X17 is a whole box of dolls, but after all, few parts and tailored suit POP has to do, is a "patchwork" sense of the whole box of figures, but Rafa this can really be called the first true whole box of figures. Once the brackets are small shark individual supplementary comments).Internal and external packaging and the inner packing is really satisfactory, POPTOYS looks very serious about their first full meaning works. (this kind of packaging are high sense, they are attentive at the same level of manufacturers.)
They prepared background plate for players in accessories for the players who like take photos in the studio in special.The second heads carved with the box packaging, different from the first head carving is the difference between hair, and the facial expression changes are relative less.I have felt that the slit knit head carving, better representation than another onephoto by Yihaorenwu

Many friends ask me why the POP platform take the last wooden tray this time, my understanding is that the platform is resin material, coating is delicate but strong degree is inferior to like HOTTOYS ,such a large volume plastic platform. Aquifer details are shown, but manufacturers think ahead the material of the platform in the process of transportation.They need to pay attention to the risk of the platform will be damaged,so they use wooden bottom to support reinforcement, I still want to praise POPTOYS for this.photo by lukazou
The accessories fish workmanship is very fine, POP doesn’t use this volume of the animal again may indicate that this fish cost is not small, relative delicate. (personally love this salmon is very realistic, yes or no?)
GERBER backpack, daggers, and outdoor wear suits, throughout the entire work,I do not know ifPOPTOYS really got BG commodity copyright this time.Interestingly, plastic POP: dagger details and dagger sleeve is well-done.The sunglasses with a little pity, we can feel the difference when compare it to the manufacturers like SS and DAM.photo by micron1106photo by micron1106
In general, POP's first full box of dolls produce a more satisfactory answer.When the CuteShark interviewed the POP team before, POP has planned to launch other versions of subsequent Bell. Let’s take a watchful eye on the developing team.

POPTOYS 1/6 EX02, the shadow alliance leader Ninja Master -armor version
This product in the movie armour style reduction is still in place of. Head carving is pretty good, especially the side is very charm. What is the inadequacy is parts is too single, if more scene element would be better. Fortunately, the price is moderate. Batman fans can start to consider getting a set, after all, Batman VS Ninja Master scene is very exciting.

We can see that POPTOYS is not satisfied with being a 12 inch doll model clothing manufacturers, and are working towards bringing more good whole box of dolls to players. Hope POP can continue promoting and enrich series product line, in the production of a whole box of dolls, how develops the theme,striving to bring more and better works to players.
Worldbox article
Worldbox develop a lady baby series early, making all types of baby doll as a selling point, which in the 12 Inch Doll industry is is an alien. If POPTOYS focus on the production of clothing and then expand the doll model to the development of a whole box of dolls foot theme words, then the Worldbox is relying on the doll body completed his luxuriant turned, and towards the subject of well-known game a whole box of dolls developed. Then came the question: how can this doll body which is strong? Worldbox ferrite is not generally a strong durable!We have a look these durable body, head are fundamental to the movie actor is a prototype. Such as hand off a dead-alive person "in" male TV more, movie "Iron Man 3" the villain in etc.. The Worldbox do good body and each component model, a long lifespan.
Advantages:The joint made of high density engineeri, aging does not break.The standing fall prevention -- ankle pronation control.The link to do to strengthen and feet also improved.Carved like the head, the skin is also very high.Disadvantages:Fig can do out, evil little JJ ah! Of course you can put that advantage.The arm body 90 degree bends to the military theme is not too ideal."....", the word is not wave get hollow! The video is enough to explain everything. worldbox-1:6 ??????????-????BBICN??????????????????

With durable ferrite caused attention degree, WorldBox and launched a famous fighting game "Mortal Kombat" 12 inch action figure product. In 12 inch figures in the industry, the product has been It is often seen. game genres, such as the HOTTOYS launched, lightning and other biochemical crisis. But in a fighting game for the subject matter is not much to see how WorldBox perform?
WorldBox 1:6 Warner Mortal Kombat SUB-ZERO absolute ze This product adopts worldbox ferrite is certainly a strong durable body (the fighting game theme now? Ha ha), body mobility muscle will be some impact, but the feet the naked place used a large spherical joint, leg brace is set in the above, paragraph three, greatly increasing the mobility of the leg.A variety of accessories to increase a lot of fun, with the sub-zero trick can perform pull head, pumping the spine.

WorldBox 1/6 Warner Mortal Kombat Kung Lao pressed guy
This series of second products, personal feel than the first absolute zero some inferior, but overall was quite satisfactory.This guy is the real facial and head carving, production more difficult than the former big lot. The game may be character expression is not very good grasp of the reason, the head looked a bit too quiet. Small shark think not put fighting figures due vindictive and murderous show.The belt is made of silk glue, color difference andleft hanging in the slightly larger. The boots are integrated, set up to the knee. This greatly limits the foot ankle mobility and grounding. Clothes are a bit rough, only a tank top.Fittings is the biggest bright spot this soldier, worldbox specially made blood to restore, very classic game moves.
