Founded in Hong Kong in February 2006, they're devoted to planning, designing, manufacturing, and marketing of toys and character figures and accessories. This is their first "Samurai Champloo" line; PVC statues from "Queen's Blade" and other surprises will follow. They're hooked up with Good Smile Company for the distribution of products in Asia and Japan.
They assure me: "Obviously, we will produce Jin & Fuu, both in cold cast, and limited at 2000 pcs. Jin's sculpt is already finished [me: woo!!] and we're waiting now for an approval to send you the pictures. Sculptor and finisher are the same for Jin."

Hobby Figures' policy is designed to "original & perfectible hobby products and worldwide official distribution. Their products line has branched out into major shonen series, videogame merchandise and original creations.

They explain: "A beautiful 2D picture will not automatically become a dashing 3D model, that's why we enhance original artworks from licenses to propose gorgeous products with high grade quality made by the best Japanese sculptors and finishers.

We pay careful attention to the knowledge of our licences and we study them as long as useful to propose products with many sculpt details, painting details, base details, package details...

Our Force is to mix production team with direction team to offer ultimate fan products, without taking into consideration any economic analysis. Our production line get experienced factories but we also have first-class and talented representatives for sales, licensing and public relations."

In addition, they say: "Some exclusive informations, that are not appearing on our website yet: Actually, this cold cast figure is gonna include some magnets for arms and legs to avoid any damage when assembing the statue. We have found this technology will be better than a simple stem and confirm our will to really propose some collectors approach with our products.

The display stand will be different from the one on the photo, with fully embossed design, which will represent a vinyl record with famous silkscreen from the show."

This sounds so fkn' great!!!
