Toys Battalion

Toys Battalion is a third-party studio working in the corner of the hobby that official licensees tend to ignore: the supporting cast. Where the major brands chase the headline heroes, Toys Battalion produces coded-name 1/6 figures of the characters collectors quietly want and rarely get. Corvus Glaive, Kingpin, Wong, the Ancient One, Martian Manhunter, Green Goblin, and the like.

Their range wanders happily across universes, taking in Marvel and DC, Final Fantasy (a coded Sephiroth among them), Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, and The Boys. Like most coded-name studios, the figures arrive under invented titles rather than the trademarked names, but collectors know exactly who they are looking at.

As with most third-party makers, little is publicly documented about the studio itself, and you buy on the strength of each individual release rather than a long brand track record. For collectors trying to complete a roster the licence holders will never finish, Toys Battalion is often the only game in town.
