Dear JND fans.

Thank you for always loving us.

We want to make a great year with you again this year.

This year, we will release a variety of 1/3 HMS series, Kojunworks, and Girls revolution products.

For the first delivery of the first Kojunworks product to Korea, we decided to make a full recall and upgrade all the products in a better way.

We think this will be a new opportunity for us.

Our goal is to complete the product by Q2 (end of June), which was originally scheduled to be delivered, and ship all types of Joker in batches.

I think this year will be a great year.

We're going to try to improve a little bit more this year, and this is going to have to be the standard in this industry.
I also know that those of you here are very interested in the 1/3 series.

So I'll give you some hints

1. We're still in talks for a release for the Ben Efleck Batman (classical) version. I'll definitely try to complete Trinity in Justice League.

2. This year, there will be some great masterpieces in the 1/3 series. The first will be Jacksparrow and Davy Jones.

3. There will be another main character in the Dark Knight series after a long time. The main character is Bain. And at the end of this year... There's a really great project that you're looking forward to, so please look forward to it.

4. The best DC classic, Wonder Woman Linda Carter, is here. And I'm also getting a penguin from Batman Returns, which I really like.

5. We'll also prepare the mother of Dragon that you've requested a lot.

In addition, we are also preparing full-metal Armor Griffiths, Skull Knight with a new concept, and various Kojunworks products, so please look forward to it.

If I'm a little more proficient in English, I'll communicate with you more, but I always feel sorry for this.

If I have a chance, I will write here more often in the future.

Happy New Year, everyone

Let`s JNDize!

meh, if it's the sleeveless version like the Prime, I have no interest in a $4k Bane. Hopefully, they do him with the coat and sleeves.

Interesting change in direction for JND - I can't remember Bane ever removing his mask in the film, so there's going to be very little to justify a high price tag for "hyper realistic" portraits - not that this little detail will deter JND from raping it's customers....

Even though I have no interest in the character or JND's products, this is going to provide hours of entertainment just watching the reactions on here and other social media outlets - I almost can't wait

Note: I will avoid being negative, or killing the excitment if, and, or when, people really do get onboard for this product.

While it is true that Bane does not remove his mask, I'm guessing the headsculpt will still be silicone. And JND is usually excellent with clothing elements. Will it justify a high price? Not sure. I guess we'll see. I am anxious to see what they give us.

On the one hand, it's actually good that JND (at last) seems to be listening to what it's customers want - I guess falling sales, and looming irrelevance will be a motivating wake up call - because "a lot" of collectors on FaceBook have been calling for this character....(where is Aquaman by the way )

On the other hand, I could always understand why this character just wouldn't gel with JND's USP....

While JND has demonstrated a certain "skill" in delivering a decent set of rags on their figures - personally, I don't see much differentiation with the general quality that other "top tier" producers can muster (IMHO) - and even if there is a noticeable quality difference, is it enough (as you said) to justify the JND "Tax"? - for some, the answer will be a resounding "YES" - but the question will remain, on how many will say "YES" to make this character justified for JND to produce.

Considering the poor performance of their recent pieces - and yes, I don't care about the Website "Sold Out" - retailers be retailers - but in the real world....I'm wondering how mcuh longer JND can whip this horse.....I think a Star Wars license might get people excited again - even though Star Wars itself is on life support.

Not my fav character of the franchise. Don't really like the look of Bane, especially his mask. But I am interested to see how this statue would turn out.

We will be moving up the product launch of a 1/3 scale DC character. I will refrain from giving you any hints, except... this character... he talks real funny. One thing's for sure, there were mucho, mucho [sic] requests from our collectors for this character.

[Phoenixblazes]

Honestly I don’t feel a very strong need to upgrade my Prime 1 version. I think that one came out pretty well.

That said…..

[67L88Stingray]

I have all 4 other 1/3rds from this trilogy JND has done, but I don't think I would buy a Bane (and there are 4 or 5 others I probably would)

[Iko Iko]

I am sure this one will be great. It doesn't mean I'll buy it though.
