Riot should let Japan's Figure manufacturers make Scale figures for League characters

More specifically the Star Guardians, I would buy them in a heartbeat if they were 1/7th scale figures. I linked a possible company to make such scale figures, but there are plenty who can do the job just as well. Make sure to comment your thoughts if you think this is a good idea. This would not be a bad idea for Riot to earn some extra money on selling the rights to make the figures, and even a possible percentage royalty on every figure sold. If the Star Guardians sell well then they can even do other things like base skins or Arcade/Pool Party lines.

If the link scares you: It's pretty much a link saying riot will be releasing mini star guardian figures.

I'm not a fan, they would be so much cooler if it was scale figures, not this chibi trash. They don't provide the same presence in a room and are not very detailed, not to mention smaller than I would want.

Check the DMG figure I linked in my other reply. Wouldn't you prefer something as powerful and eyecatching as that for some of our favorite game characters? I'm willing to pay the ~$140 price for them and am sure others will too if put up on a site like Tokyo Otaku Mode as well as the league merch store itself. [slayer-jinx-wink]

I remember seeing the Yasuo figma before(forgot about it), and I think Nendoroids are all fine and dandy, but I would prefer scaled figures.

And I think since the majority of people who buy Japanese anime figures buy the bishoujo ones, The most anime esq. champs/skins (Star Guardians) should be given a chance in this market.

An awesome Dark Magician Girl figure I purchased not to long ago. (https://otakumode.com/shop/564a9dc94c1e63b9285b84b3/Yu-Gi-Oh!-Dark-Magician-Girl-1-7-Scale-Figure)

I'm saying If the figures were to this caliber I would buy them in a heartbeat. Ahri Janna Jinx Lux MissFortune Soraka Syndra

The scaled and Bishoujo figures are like $100+ each. Nendoroids go for about $41, and Figma go for about $70. Most people actually prefer Nendoroid and Figma due to their pricing, their ability to be set up in poses, and their accessories and interchangable faces.

If you pay that much for nendos and figmas you're getting ripped off

I feel a survey is required before you can just say what the majority of people want. I for one know a majority of the scale figures that are released on Tokyo Otaku Mode go out of stock before they are even released. If you look at the top selling items on TOM the majority are scale figures not Nendoroids or figmas.

Give me figma Jhin, and Ashe so I can....act things out...

For those saying the figmas and nendoroids are good enough, I agree they should exist, but I would want them to consider making figures to scale as well, not as a replacement for the cheaper ones, just in addition to them.
