Figure Displays from Evolution Toy Exhibition

Posted on March 18, 2019 at 11:30 am by Den-O under Conventions, General Tokusatsu News, Other Conventions

Over the weekend, Evolution Toy held a product exhibition showcasing many upcoming previously announced figure’s as well as new figure’s debuted at the event. Thankfully for us, AmiAmi’s Hobby New attended the event and has provided images and some information about several upcoming releases. Notably, several new HAF (Hero Action Figure) prototypes were on display.

First up is the titular hero of 1973’2 Inazuman series. Inazuman is one of the classic Ishinomori heroes who’ve yet to have a modern figure produced by Bandai. In their stead, it seems that Evolution has obtained a license to add him to the their HAF line. Inazuman is scheduled for release this year for 8800 yen. Also, the heroic duo from Space Ironmen Kyodyne, the brothers Grounzel & Skyzel, were announced for release this year in August and September respectively. Each retails for 8800 yen. The previously announced HAF Gridman was also on display, but surprisingly Evolution also announced an HAF Gridman Sigma! This will mark the first time that a modern poseable figure of Sigma (outside of the Super Minipla release) will be released. Specific release info was not announced for Sigma.

Rounding things out, the combined hero Triple Fighter was also seen on display again. Set for July release, Triple Fighter retails for, you guessed it, 8800 yen. Given their license to produce Redman figure’s as well, Evolution revealed a Kanegon in colors exclusive to the Redman comic from  Matt Frank. No price or specific release month have been announced as of now. This figure will be the inaugural release in a new linen from Evolution, KAF (Kaiju Action Figure.) A reissue of HAF Redman was also confirmed for 2019.

So that’s quite a lot on the way from Evolution. Given their past though, we should expect some degree of delay for those figures without specific release info at this point. As more information becomes available for any of these figure’s we’ll be sure to update you.

    Over this past weekend, Evoution Toy had a number of new and upcoming figure's on display. While we saw some previously announced releases again, by far the biggest new comes in the form of their new announcements.

    HAF (Hero Action Figure)
    Redman (reissue)
    Grounzel & Skyzel (Space Ironmen Kyodyne)
    Inazuman
    Gridman
    Gridman Sigma
    Triple Fighter

    KAF (Kaiju Action Figure)
    Kanegon (Redman comic version)

    Most of these figure's are scheduled for release in 2019 though several don't have specific release details as of yet. General retail price appears to be 8800 yen across both HAF and the new KAF line as well.

    That Inazuman definitely has my interest, dunno if he's worth like $80 though.

    I wonder who keeps buying those for Evolution Toy to continue making them. They are overpriced, way below Japanese standards in terms of build quality and some of them just flat-out suck. Gridman for example looks horrible.

    Are people really that desperate for articulated niche-Toku characters? I personally would rather pass than spending my money on something so obviously subpar.

    I mean I for one am that desperate for some of Ishinomori's more classic characters. But even I'm hard pressed to give evolution more money after 3 dismal Redman figures.

    They always have bad QC. Their Gridman stuff looks awful. But as far as Inazuman & the Kyodyne go, there is nothing else. There has't been anything else ever, no other poseable figure options other than a couple of SIC interpretations of Inazuman, and the reboot Kyodyne designs that were SHF's from Fourze. Bu Toys announced Kyodyne figure's a couple years ago that I was ridiculously excited for, but they were shelved and never released. As badly as I hate to give Evolution more money, this is pretty much it in terms of a lot of the characters they produce.

    Is it bad that I think the Super Minipla Gridman looks better then the Evolution Toy one?

    So, uh, I like Inazuman, and was getting hype until I started reading this thread.
    What are the problems Evolution Toys have? I haven't bought any of their products, so I don't really know...

    Den-O did a gallery on their Redman last year; it's all well documented there.

    Man, after reading that there is no way I'm pissing away my money on any of their releases.

    The Kanegon isn't "exclusive to the comics". He looks like that in the Redman show.

    These are ridiculously priced.

    And there were action figures of Kyodain and Inazuman in (I think) the late 90s/early 00s. They're not even that expensive on ebay, and they look better than this.
