First 4 Figures have announced they are discontinuing their PVC statues, though they still plan to release resin statues. This is largely due to the cost and current low demand – notably, when First 4 Figures initially acquired their Yu-Gi-Oh! licence, they had planned only on resin statues at the time.
They have confirmed that they are developing Yu-Gi-Oh! drink coasters (ravegrl notes that, based on previous coaster prices, these will likely be $29.99 USD each) and “Silhou-Arts”. They also noted they would likely be able to make an Exodia Necross statue after their Exodia the Forbidden One statue, as the only necessary change would be the colour scheme (YouTooz recently did something similar).

Plastoy have also provided some more updates following their acquisition of Taka Corp Studio’s Yu-Gi-Oh! licence. Pre-orders for the Yami Yugi and Slifer the Sky Dragon sculpture are now live on their website, to be released in October 2024; BigBadToyStore continues to have the preorders on their website for US retailers for $919.99 USD. Plastoy also confirmed the Seto Kaiba with Obelisk the Tormentor and Millennium Puzzle sculptures.

Wow!
Instead of the Egyptian Gods for the millionth time why not give us figures for the Dragons from Season 4?
Dragon forms or Knight Forms?
The Dragons absolutely. Or at least create a figure of DMG is her Knight 🐉🗡️ outfit.
where is ra and marik
Out going for some tacos
Asking the real questions here!
Been waiting for a remake of Marik for years 😭 He’s so slept on
wait.. if they discontinue making pvc action figures.. then the chances of them making a ghostrick set/diorama for halloween is now negative.
I want to see yugi muto figures statues he as the main character protagonist of the yugioh show has not much of him why not giving us yugioh figures from the movie the dark side of dimensions especially yugi muto he looks amazing in this movie looks so charming grown up now looks more like pharaoh atem 😃🙏✌️👍👑🎶🦋☀️🌈💟🩷💟🩷✌️
Haha! ⬆️ Sarcasms these days 😂😅😂
Oh cool, more DM
Sarcasms? ⬆️
Going after the Gen-Z demographic? Maybe they’ll finally consider embracing Sevens, Go Rush, and bring Rush Duels to the international market. One can dream…
It looks that way
When are we getting new phatmojo figures?
Can they finally stop re-releasing old DM merchandise with 2002 stock art and come up with something more original using new art?
it’s really weird when a company goes “we want to target the gen z demographic” and then release products that would only really appeal to millenials since its themed around shows from the 2000s.
these companies don’t even rebroadcast their shows to said demographic to get them attached to it. its so counterintuitive.
Mhm…
