The makers of Coraline, Kubo and Paranorman will finally start selling toys of their licenses.
"Brad Wald, CFO of Laika, believes that his company's library of colorful characters and worlds are a perfect fit for Striker Entertainment and he hopes this new deal will lead to bigger and better things in the future."

id be interested but if they are statues i will boycott their movies
Smart move
it's about time Tim Burton got his own toyline, i loved his work in those moveies
>>6270701
They better be super articulated and come with multiple face plates and articulated eyes or it'll be a hard pass for me.
>>6270727
The most recognizable aspect with Laika is their fully poseable puppets. It's what enthusiasts love.
I am absolutely sure they have articulation in mind.

""Striker is known for representing a host of household names including The Walking Dead, Preacher, The Hunger Games, The Twilight Saga, and Five Nights at Freddy’s""
So, McFarlane is getting the contract from Striker?

wow man wtf is this aberration? who made that monster and how a human bean can think something made this way would work?
>>6270701
Oh, good! i can finally hotglue Other Mother.
...and Coraline.
...and Norman's sister.
Shit, this is going to get expensive.
After a google it looks like their "toys" are mainly statueshit with a few knock off barbie dolls for Twilight.
They also do crap modern "arcade" games, you know, the ones that are just oversized phone games, and various sweets.

You are probably seeing their puppets, which have wire skeletons and silicone skins to move, no actual articulation pivots.

Look I know this is an ah ha funny joke but Tim burton is redpilled as fuck in regards to toys
I mean he's got a Hot Toys figure!
Yeah I know wow so impressive he knows Hot Toys! But see the thing is a lot of licenses go to shit like NECA or Funko so umm yeah I think he's pretty redpilled on Toys I mean holy shit
>>6270796
See I don't get this why are they so stupid fucking sell to Goodsmile, Bandai, Kaiyodo, you know good companies!
How can industry leaders be so ignorant to toys?
>>6270906
No, I mean statues.
>>6271391
Oh, you mean Striker's.
>>6270701

>>6270701
>>6271010
Goodsmile? Nah They wouldn't get all that detail. Neca did a good job the first time. They should do it
These, just with actual joints. Bendy stuff always gets fucked up with time.
>>6280311
If they work directly with them they can provide all their sculpts for molding already, it could be great.
>>6280311
I've got the raincoat Coraline, she hasn't fucked up on me. Granted, I don't move her much.
>>6280301
Enjoy your stuck joints, gummy plastic, shitty paint apps and horrendous articulation.
