I love that you’re reviewing more indie figures because the stuff we’re getting from mainline figures isn’t really it, aside from neca they’re killing it

You should absolutely keep reviewing these indie figures. Your integrity is the last thing anyone should question and it also makes a good platform for more people to be aware of these figures in the first place.

With this figure, you can pop off the torso from the waist and pull off his skirt completely, and you get a naked ninja- the legs have incredible articulation without the skirt and it’s clearly made to be an option- like the Veteran William figure, the clothing hinders it, but there’s a sans clothing option.

I'm definitely supportive of your reviewing more indie lines and figures. The market for boutique operations is expanding exponentially and there are so many new companies and figures out there. An experienced voice like yours reviewing some of that new stuff would help folks (like me, for sure) make decisions on what to pick up.

I have no idea how they managed to cramp that many accessories and paints, even a artbook/comic for the pricepoint. Got it for bout $75

I'll echo what others have commented, more reviews covering indy figures would be great! Power-Con showcased a number of current and upcoming lines that are well worth checking out. 4 Horsemen Studios are adding more parts diversity with each wave of Mythic Legions, Cosmic Legions & Figure Obscura. Valaverse is showing that they are MUCH more than generic military line and give you a ton for the price point. Lone Coconut's Plunderlings exude personality and are incredbly fun to photograph. The stuff that Savage Crucible has coming is super exciting and checks all the boxes for me: cool designs, impressive articulation, beautiful paintwork, and affordable pricing. Keep up the good work Anthony, we appreciate your discerning eye and honest reviews!

Yes! We need more indie, especially FuRay Planet! Every release has been amazing! The Werewolf (Veteran Williams) is definitely the best Werewolf action figure you can find atm! He can completely transform from a Werewolf to his Veteran William's look.

I picked him and William(wolf) up about a month ago and absolutely lived them. Great detail and just wonderful paint. Overall quality was awesome. Plus William comes with alternate parts to basically make him a complete bare werewolf that could easily be used in other displays. Heat line so far.

As long as you don't 'review' your own line after it's released (when?), no problems! Also, FuRay is an amazing line. Great idea to support indie companies!

The pouch is a tobacco (or whatever you want him to smoke) pouch and goes on the pipe. There's a little hook on the string part of the pipe that's supposed to hold it. The rope is for the weapon case. You can tie it to the handles and use it to hang the case around his chest instead of using the peg for the cloak.

Yeah the indie reviews is what I've been wanting, honestly. Mainline figures have their place but at this point I feel like I already know what to expect from those and it becomes sort of monotonous. Indie reviews definitely bring freshness to the channel and variety.

I like the Indi reviews. They have been looking really interesting lately.

I actually want to see you reviewing more indie figures. I know we should be supporting them but we definitely should be aware of the pros and cons of their products, too. I like that furry piece for the neck, without it he looks younger, when you put it back on his neck he looks older, from an apprentice to a seasoned fighter. Awesome looking figure.

I bought their Veteran William figure cause I love Werewolves and while Weng and everyone else looked cool I just wanted my werewolf. Then I got the figure. I want the whole line now these are AMAZING figures!

Amazingly detailed figure, with plentiful and (mostly) purposeful paint applications appropriately applied. Ay!-this figure is exceptional.

I think that anyone who has watched you for years knows that your job is to provide accurate, unbiased information. You call them as you see them. And when you criticize something, you don't criticize for the sake of it, and you always offer alternatives and solutions for how to make things better. I'm paraphrasing but you said it best, we don't need these things, they're luxuries, companies need US to buy their products. You have never and I'm 100% sure you will never review an indie product with the intention of making your own product look better in comparison.

I'm all for reviewing Indies. Just looking at what's in the 5K storefront, how could you not resist.

It's great to have someone that has a reputation, reviewing these 3rd party/ indie figures. It's difficult taking many "reviewers" word, that only have glowing reviews and nothing else.

Ah, yes. Another good AnthonysCustoms video to help me burn the midnight oil. 🎉

I think it's cool for you to review indie figs. Giving them exposure not only helps them but could possibly help you and people like me who watch you find new things to possibly enjoy or think about. I think It's a win-win.

Little pouch could be hanged to the pipe (tobacco pouch). The rope is to be attached to the handles of weapon case to hold it better. The peg is to get a good position

I would like to see more indie figure reviews if they are as great as this one. It completely blows away a lot of big company figures.

You are the most straightforward and honest reviewer in the game, so absolutely review indy figures that tickle your fancy! As for any conflict of interest: I am 100% certain that you are/will be brutally honest about your own work, so no conflict as far as I can see. As for this figure, I'm stoked for it and it was a pleasant surprise to see you review it. Thanks! 👍

Please keep reviewing indie figures. I find myself buying more of those anyway. Much better subject matter and the big companies are just not putting the effort as much in their product. So these are a breath of fresh air

I learned a new word today...digitigrade. This is the channel that keeps on giving

I just recieved mine in the mail but havent opened yet. The look alone made it a must for me, but now I KNOW for a fact I made a good choice! Fantastic review, Anthony!

Picked one of these up after watching your review. Great figure but, it’s the most stiff figure I have had to work with. Took a lot of heating and manipulating. Still, worth it in the end!

Yes keep reviewing them, your particular judgement on the indie brands would make a great difference to us, because theyre not cheap and i sometimes hold back when i dont know a brand. After seeing this review im definetely picking this one up🙌🏼

Question of the day: I like the idea of other brands reviews, I hope these reviews will perform as good as the biggest brands reviews and will bring you more viewers as well. Also you were talking about avoiding dramas, I don't see how "indie" toys reviews would spawn any drama but there are nutcases out there who can get mad over anything so I hope nothing like that will happen to you. Nice review btw. 😤👍

I think that nowadays indie companies are making more and more good interesting figures and are more often giving the mainstream lines a run for their money. So with the growing interest and competition I think it's a good call to start reviewing the most exciting (from your POV) indie figures. At the end of the day I think we all want some good figures. That's all. And such reviews can help us see, if the fugure is worth our money and place on the shelf. Sorry for stating some obvious stuff, but you asked so...

Yes, to the independent toy reviews. Superb figure. Looks really tough & ready to take over a shelf for itself. Thanks for sharing your treasure.

The little pouch is for you to carry it on the pipe (on a small hook there). The rope is for you to tie it to the kunai (I don't think it's the best rope for that). I was wishing you could review these guys but didn't expect you to so I'm glad you went for it! You can also pop the torso apart to remove the belt piece and it'll allow to move the hips a lot more.

Super happy u r taking on new lines I've been waiting for this for years. Idk how long I've been subed to ur channel but it's been a long time and I really thi k this is going to to be great I love hearing ur opinions and I always feel like I can trust u to tell it how it is with any figure and its y I've been a fan for so long

I'm personally really glad that you're reviewing indie products that appeal to you. I trust so few reviewers these days so I'm anytime you review something I'm interested in. Can't wait to see more from Rival Clans when the time is right.

One of the best figures I ever seen

Love that you are reviewing these. Thxs 👍

Got mine coming in next week, so excited!

Hi! Hong Kong collector here and followed Weng since reveal. Weng is indeed dirty, the official brand (Furay Planet by Raynald Toys) announced theyd be changing factory for production because the dirty paint used in the Weng factory. The main complaint around here is the difficulty in changing hands (you basically NEED hot water if you ever wanna try the other hand options) The next Furay planet products are a Ronin Rabbit, followed up by Hyena and Panda (im not sure of the order)

Great rev. Gorgeous figure. Love it.

I’ve been watching this figure for a while and honestly I was super happy when I saw that you were reviewing it

You are fair, it’s fine for you to review indie figures. I would be careful though, I have seen folks go rabid when one indie guy critiques another. The indie fans seem to be a little more sensitive.

I appreciate you reviewing these third party figures. I think where most of the third party figures tend to drop the ball is the articulation/range of motion. It's all there, it's just doesn't work. Comes off as an afterthought.

I think it’s a great idea that you are bringing a spotlight to the Indie Brands. I just want to see something different, seen a million superhero and video game figures. All the big toy companies are doing licensed properties almost exclusively, ain’t no one doing an anthropomorphic beefcake tiger figure.

I have been waiting for you to review indie companies. Your reviews are always something I go with. They need proper reviews and not the mainline as we always almost know what the output will be.

What a coincidence! I wanted to looked into this line today and lo and behold Anthony posted a review of this figures just a few hours earlier. To answer your question, yes review indie figures too. You are one of the most trustworthy reviewers. I have never sensed any bias in your reviews regardless of company or line. Anyways, this figure looks amazing. I've seen pictures of a werewolf and crocodile figures that also look amazing.

The little pouch hangs on the pipe it's a "tobacco " pouch or opium pouch or whatever but yea there is a little hook on the pipe and that's where the little pouch goes.....I love this line Ive picked up all of the Furay Planet figs so far and I love 'em all great line.....great review !

Review anything you want, I do trust your honesty.

Indie brands nowadays have amazing products, and its important to make popular a review for good figures, also make the top brands to keep getting better.

Keep up the good work! I’m sure you’ll do a good job no matter what direction you choose. You built this business from nothing with hard work and dedication. I mostly hoped you would review this guy in particular because I like seeing you celebrate excellence, and this is clearly an outstanding figure. In terms of opening up to indie companies, I would probably shy away from reviewing things you think you won’t like unless they’re mainstream enough. “Here’s this obscure thing that sucks” doesn’t make great content, but you know that already. This could be a good business opportunity for you… reach out and offer to pre-review prototypes and designs for a consulting fee for your review business- and work together with the small business community to release better products. A bit like what you just did with Shartimus Prime. Everyone wins when quality increases. And it might lighten the cost to you if they also send free review samples. You’ve been pretty up front with your designs and plans for Rival Clans, so as long as it isn’t in direct competition with that, it could work. These conversations would obviously need to remain private- but this is all stuff you clearly already know. I don’t know how much of that you do already, but it’s worth investigating. With regards to the small business community, I would consider a model of cooperation rather than just buying a figure and reviewing it, but that’s just my perspective looking to diversify revenue streams.

Hell yeah, indie figures reviews are always welcome. This companies are doing an amazing job with their products. I'm currently waiting for the Knight of war by Vtoys, Notta's Sun Wukong and Morlock by Memory Toys. They all seem really cool

"it's a cool figure I want in my collection" this really is the standard as to why u do or don't like a figure. I am stoked you are doing indie stuff! Would love you to look at street humans by shartimus prime

Before you mentioned it, when you took the fur peice off the neck, I was like "I like that better!". Lol! That is definitely a pretty dope lookin figure! Sik

I have an interest in some indie brands, so I’m glad someone is doing a thorough review

This guy and the Xesray Minotaurs are my most anticipated for the year. Already got Weng and without the skirt he has tons of range in the hips although I would have preferred a more solid piece over the diaper.

Excellent figure I definitely want to pic up!! Thanks for the review - keep doing independent toy brands 👍

One of the best figures I have. Also have their werewolf and crocodile.

Great review. U should definitely review more indie lines for sure, as your thoughts are very objective and love watching your reviews

This is a great figure and I can definitely recommend some of the other furay planet figures as well.

Very happy to see you review indie. They need more critical eye and coverage if they are good. Please review this Furay wolf. That one is always highly recommended.

I’d love to see more indie reviews. EVERY other figure channel covers the mainstream Hasbro and Mattel releases. I buy cool figures in general, not just from IPs I know.

Great figure! The little pouch is a tobacco pouch that hangs on the pipe...the rope is for his sword case when he is displayed without cloak ie no peg hole to store case when shirtless 👍

Definitely need this guy for a custom tiger claw

Thanks for the review. I've got my eye on the Shuten Doji they announced just the other day so this is helpful as a point of reference for this company. Interesting that this has sculpted pants whereas Shuten got cloth. That'd be a deal-breaker for me but this review has convinced me that if at least the overall aesthetics of the final product look as good this one, then I might give them a chance despite the soft goods.

You do Really Awesome Reviews And You Inspired Me to Collect Alot of Different Types of Action Figures because of You're Great Reviews Keep doing The Awesome Reviews

Yeah I gota admit your fair reviews always keep me coming back

Nice review, thanks!

Thanks for the great review. I've been looking at these figures on BBTS and love the way they look. I really dig their samurai rabbit design, so I might have to get him.

I’m loving Maestro Union brand and these figures are amazing. Veteran William is my favorite 🐺

i removed the lower skirt on mine and did some augmentation for wider range of motion.

This line made the best werewolf ever I love it so it's awesome you are reviewing this

Yes to the "Inde" brands! You review things fairly. Its nice to get honest reviews about other stuff besides your Usual. Im honestly glad to see u step on the gass and do this review.

I have this,Crocker and veteran William and they are all fantastic.

Soo cool proyects, this and yours

To answer question 1 - do it! Review as much good/bad products you want to review. Not that my purchasing circulates exclusively on your reviews but m'gawd you've saved me money. Thanks for the efforts on this product. Isn't it a wonderful experience owning an action figure that is worth its price?

It’s a great idea to review all the products of action figures , the ones you are interested in

Keep doing indie figure reviews, these figures are the best coming out

I'm all for you reviewing indie brands. I've bought a few, and I think it's really cool to see the work and engineering of a non-mainstream as its really impressive most of the time. And sometimes it's like how can Hasbro continue to give us crap figures with little to no paint for the same price of a lot of these indie brands.

Indie reviews are great, no problem with you doing that! The tiger is missing one of his stripes on yours on his upper right shoulder and it drives me nuts once I noticed it but I think you've convinced me to save up for this figure! Edit: Maybe it's not missing one of the stripe? According to images on BBTS it is missing but other reviews don't have it either.

More indie brands! Love these!

I love indie figures, they are beautiful and truly are a passion project. However, I chose indie figures that have a connection to mainstream and pulp media, otherwise it loses its novelty to me quite easily because there's no connection or attachment to the product. Perhaps if there was a story or the maker has a featured process like what Adam Savage does, it creates value for me.

I think it´s great if you review one or two from each line. there´s a bunch coming out and they look great. ideally always pick a few were you can see large interest, this Weng was hot and so seem to be the legendari and cyberzoic when they come out. I also see mythic and cosmic legions at least not as mainstream

For your question. You can review whatever you want. I like your input and unbiased opinion.

yes more of this please

Definitely we need more indie figures, mainly those that you consider as good examples of your key points: aesthetics and proportions, accessories and articulation.

You gotta get veteran William from the same line. Best werewolf figure out there currently and has soooo many accessory options its like having 2 figures in 1 . Its easily the best of the furay line thus far

I've been hoping you'd review independant brands, because of how in depth your reviews are. I've wanted to get in to collecting some indie stuff, and have just got my first couple things, but would have had a lot more confidence with the lines if I'd had some of your reviews to look over. I remember specifically looking through your videos for LooseCollector figures. Example of how your reviews help: Had no idea Storm Collectibles had the soft rubbery chests until your review. Made me reconsider. - Also, you can remove the skirt piece by separating him at the waist (carefully + heat).

I just got the FuRay Planet Veteran William in from BBTS this week, I love him, big feral werewolf. So I'm liking the FuRay Planet stuff, this tiger one also looks great.

Hey will you also be reviewing the Veteran William?

I just got the figure 2 days ago. He is beautiful and badass. I'm all for indie figures. Definitely heat the hands. Impossible to remove the hands if you don't and those claws are hurt!

Well, since you started, you might as well get the other FuRay figures 'cause $100 figures need honest reviews

I got their Veteran William, have him as a regular Werewolf...and man is he an impressive figure, especially for the price.

Cool review, man.. it looks good as a big Usagi Yojimbo character display for me.. maybe I'll get one if it ever in my way..

I love this figure!!!!

The wider the net you throw out fo action figures the better. i have been looking at this figure and its nice to get a trusted opinion on it.

I love this figure man! This and the werewolf are my best picks of the year. 🎉

I think it's a good idea to review indie figures, it'll get more eyes on these kinds of figures and you're always very objective in your reviews.

Good Review as Always. Honestly, i give it an 8/10. They spoilt us with William( The Wolf) previously. If they included simmilar body swappable accessories akin to that and a extra head. This would even be better for what it is. Well, as far as WereTigers Go, Memory Toys just showed a Prototype for there version of A Tiger Warrior, its not painted yet but it looks badass. Keep an eye out for that if you really like this.

Review whatever you want to, including indie figs. Your reviews speak for themselves, so broadening the range of content works for me. This looks great, definitely prefer this is a bunch of standard Hasbro figs

I think its a good idea, I do believe you are pretty fair when reviewing the figs so just keep it up

Cool looking figure, I like your reviews, I;d like to see your opinion on some of the indie figures out there so more power to you.
