Why did pokemon just give up marketing after gen 4? 1998 was a fucking mass media craze where you could find almsot everything imaginable in some way shape or form pokemon related, Spoons, cereal, towels, stationary, etc.

But in Gen 4 and beyond its like all the good toy potential went into the shitter. If it isnt charizard, lucario or ash it gets squat.

We have tons of heroes and their pokemon but no villains to battle it out with.

>No Giovanni figure
>No N/ Ghetsis figure
>No Lusamine figure
>No Colress figure
>No gym leaders or elite four outside brock/misty
>No other trainers other then ash/red

The ARTFX J series is great. They've been making some of the best Pokémon figures they've ever made recently, what are you on about?

Yeah, And look at the content.

Its ALL gen 1 pandering shit. Anyone who grew up in 98 can agree, we're fucking tired of seeing it. Move on and give us good figures of newer things. I'm tired of seeing the fifth release of jessie and james, or like the billionth varaint of "Ash ketchum"

>>32622266
>what is May, Serena, Rosa, and Hilda

Do some actual research before you post shit. Non of the Pokémon you even listed are part of the ARTFX J series.

Okay so they do girls. And? What about the guys? the monsters? Those figma-crap companies only focus on a toy if it has sex appeal, I'm talking actual toys marketed towards kids in the vein of action figures and ball joint figures like the good old days.

You're going to seriously tell me an articulated galvantula wouldn't be cool? Or maybe a transforming Giratina between O-forme, or even a deoxys with moveable poseable arm tendrils?

Pokemon has a goldmine of potential in toy merchandising and they just fucking sit on it without opting to do anything other then the popular shit. The ONE company in the wolrd that could get away with actually doing it and not losing profit.

You said there were no good Pokémon figures anymore and I pointed you to some good ones that are current and not Gen 1 based. I don't know what else you want dude.

Not everyone likes the super deformed style. Some of us prefer our figures to match the source material, including proportions.

>>32622348
>I don't like it so it doesn't count

Dude, don't even. You pointed towards figma of all things. Those are for the 200$+ plastic hoarding drooling horndogs who buy that shit because they want to wank to it. Thats not even comparable to a standard actionfigure that KIDS will buy for the sake of PLAYING with.

>>32622363
Same shit. they're both over-stylized chibi deformed versions of human beings that look attrocious and cutesy for no given reason.

If you wanted to discuss toys why did you say figures? Also why would you post a picture of a figure that isn't even that much cheaper than the ones I brought up? How are you this retarded?

??? Action figures ARE toys. Figma =/= figure

I think you're the one confused here anon..

Literally no different than a wall of POPS.
>>
>>32622464
I'm not big on Nenderoids either, but at least they look like the character, unlike POPS which are all the same mold with minor variations.
>>
>>32622479
but at least they look like the character

Yeah, if they were all 8 year olds maybe. Only difference is that he wasted $8000+ on a wall of ugliness over probably $200 Honestly no better than those minion collectors.

nice gaslighting. Never even mentioned figma. Posted about figures not unlike the one you originally posted, but because they go against what you said they don't count.
>>

JX are literally japanese figma, nice gaslighting on your part.

N had two figures from the 'partners' line- one with Zorua and one with Darumaka. The same figure line had Steven and Metagross and both of the Subway Masters. Cilan too, I think.

God Its like I'm speaking french here. Okay, listen up because I'll only say it one last time:

I dont care about these one-off popular figures, I want a TOY LINE. by an actual LICENSCED company that is CONTRACTED to make them in bulk and REDISTRIBUTE them to the masses.

Your figma/ArtFX/D-Arts/Nendo shit mean nothing, those aren't POKEMON TOYS. they're FOTM "which popular character should we do next" trash. Usually god awful anime shit nobody cares about. Unreliable and just because 1 or 2 pokemon characters debuted in their lines does not make for a reliable toy line. Can I expect to see Giovanni as a next figma? Howabout Lenora? Burgh? Morty?

I want a dedicated line of pokemon figures I can look forawrd to without 1. paying ludicrous $100 prices for, and B. Know what I'm expecting in the next line up, yknow, Wave 1, Wave 2? That sort of thing. Not this.

So you basically want cheap kids action figures? Takara Tomy offers Ash and Serena figures in the Monster Collection line, there's probably some more but you'll have to look around a bit. S.H Figuarts offers gen 1 Ash, Jesse and James but they're a bit more expensive.
Honestly though, the people who actually care about the trainers are likely the older fans, meaning they have more money and are able to afford the more expensive figures from companies like Good Smile. Kids mostly care about the Pokemon and not the human characters.
You'll probably have better luck asking around on /toy/ than on here.
