These are going to look amazing next to stuff like mortal kombat, tmnt, overwatch and other types of series with this kind of look. Also these look so much better than a certain other figure line that was just made. You have all of our support and I’m glad you are taking your time to make these perfect for you and the customers.

We are all behind and supporting you with these Anthony!

Were gonna get his own take on the Bucky Cap mold. Lol! But in all honesty, this looks like such a great line. After hearing your critiques of figures for some time now, its great to see your input being executed in your figures. It’s like someone said “if you know so much, why don’t you make figures?” And you literally went “ well I do, and I did!!”

Is it weird that I already hope Anthony puts out accessory packs!? These look great! I have so much respect for the artistry you have poured into this line.

Even without the paint these look really good. I can't wait to see a fully finished product.

I wish him all the success in the world, but he constantly shits on Marvel Legends when that line is putting out product WAY beyond the quality of other producers like Mattel at the same price for a wide range of characters every year. These are NO-NAME characters for 2 to 3 times the price. I'm psyched for the improved articulation, but if they're the same price as SH Figuarts for no-name characters, how is he showing up anyone? I'll support Anthony and add these to the shelf, but this should honestly be a moment of reflection for such a bellicose reviewer.

I've watched this video at least three time now, so ninja are the coolest X3! And it's crazy how you were able to figure all this out on your own. I've already trusted the things you've said about articulation engineering, but this just proves you actually know what you're talking about.

Ninja, the coolest. Really appreciate the engineering on these! Have you considered just sculpting a base body for modders/artist mannequins like bandai's body-chan/body-kun? Since articulation is a major consideration, a plain body with no specialised sculpts to impede posing would be pretty awesome.

Amazing work. I can see the hard work you've put into these and I can't wait to have them in hand and see all you're work pay off. Thanks for the update

I'm looking forward to this so very much! I've been eagerly awaiting this for a few months now and will soon get to see these figures in a far more in-depth view. I'm hoping to see what new information for the Kickstarter is (like when it will happenand and how much the figures will cost per pledge tier or figure). From what I've seen on the Rival Collectibles Instagram, the figures sculpts and articulation looks phenomenal and hope this is only the beginning of much much more.

Certainly intrigued enough to want to own these. I’m extremely interested in character story lines, final designs.... etc.

I've been all in from the moment you started streaming the sculpts pretty early on. Absolutely enammered with your aesthetic and these just look like incredible figures. They will go down in history above and beyond other kick-started figure lines for sure

Can’t wait!!! That’s is so awesome. Definitely will be sining up for the Kickstarter!

These figures look beyond dope, There's indeed a great mesh between it's design and articulation features. The posing quality is nice for people into display and the sculpting is just on point which is sad, that toy companies don't put in the effort as much as it seems compared to this 👌

What we’ve all been waiting for.

I've been watching this channel for years now, so I'm quite aware of your standards for action figures. These look very promising and whatever complaints/shortcomings I could mention, they're either down to personal preference (mainly how hips look), budget limitations that are quite understandable or you explicitly said you were working on making the line even better. Just like I did via FB, I wish you success and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Man I'm hyped they look so sick

Those look amazing! Can't wait till they come out. 👍

I know that this line is still early in production, but I would love a female figure (or several) at some point down the line. Most action figure companies never get female anatomy and proportions right with high articulation--One or the other almost always gives some. I feel like you could do an awesome job of blending the two (and actually give us double jointed elbows 😩)

Wow, this is a dream come true! I've been watching this guy's videos for many years now and he always explained how articulation can have better range in ML, I've wondered how this can be achieved in case I make my own customs, and now he's making his own figures! Much respect. It ain't easy and he can easily do this only for himself, but he's doing it for the small nich community we have of toy collectors. Can't wait until they come out so I can compare how much better the articulations are against other figures. This man can possibly take out a whole toy company with these!

Articulated Icons were around $35/figure and included lots of accessories. The deluxe figures were more and included lots more accessories. Look at the red ninjas vs the new Hasbro Hand army builders and they're pretty close in value. You get more accessories from AI, but useful BAF pieces from Hasbro if you purchase the rest of the line. I just hope the AI weapons will fit into the Hand...hands.

Hey, Anthony! I am so pleased to see your efforts towards this! Your reviews are a cornerstone of my figure buying decision! I hope you still pursue this production. You’ve been one of the best, and the first when i started watching back in the day, at customizing already made figures. (my favs today include excorpeo) And when i notice something that irks about a figure like from Marvel Legends and nobody is saying something, YOU are the voice of reason! You and I agree on everything! I have my own superhero stories that i’ve been trying to draw and get publish. My Art turns heads in public. Also i have surveyed people and they become interested in finding out more about characters purely because of how they look. I hope one day if you get your Rival Collectibles brand off and running, we can partner up. I’ll keep a lookout for your kickstarter. I’ll be happy to draw your characters for you free of charge. Forgive my ignorance, I don’t know anything of your 2d artistic prowess. Maybe you have that handled.

oh btw, along the lines of you and i agreeing, i draw realistically but then amplify certain potions to be more graphically exciting. e.g. I DO NOT draw the rib ridge as in traditional superhero comics; that alien mass between the pecs and abs. i draw the abs all the way to the pecs the way its really is, and then amplify the top pair of the ‘six-pack’ to correlate with an exaggerated v-taper. Not too stylized, but enough to be not boring. I see how your sculpting is in the same credence!
