Product Spotlight on China Action Figures

INART Action Bruce Lee: The Yellow Jumpsuit in 1/12

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

INART Action is INART’s 1/12 line, and its most culturally significant release to date is officially licensed: Bruce Lee in the yellow jumpsuit — arguably the most recognizable outfit in martial-arts cinema history.

The figure

At 15.5 cm, this is a proper small-scale Bruce: lean, defined musculature, and the yellow-and-black jumpsuit in real fabric rather than sculpted plastic — so the wrinkles follow the pose instead of fighting it. Two head sculpts (calm and action expressions) swap the mood from standoff to strike.

INART Saruman: The White Wizard in 1/6

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

INART, the premium 1/6 label of China’s Queen Studios, continues its march through Middle-earth. After Aragorn, Gandalf the Grey, Legolas, Gimli and the Nazgûl, the newest licensed addition is the one wizard nobody wants to cross: Saruman the White, from The Fellowship of the Ring.

The likeness

The head sculpt is the headline — a strong Christopher Lee likeness with long rooted white hair and beard, deep-set piercing eyes, and the stern, faintly contemptuous expression Lee brought to Orthanc. INART’s rooted-hair treatment (their usual Deluxe approach) gives the beard and hair a natural fall that sculpted hair can’t match.

LADoTOYS ERA-001 Liya: The Fox Mechanic That Launched a Brand

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

LADoTOYS is one of the newer Chinese studios in the 1/12 space, focused on original furry-eared girl characters at prices that undercut the established names. Its debut release, ERA-001 Liya AlopexFix, is the figure that introduced the brand — a fox-eared mechanic, toolbox included.

The character

Liya is a white-furred fox girl in mechanic’s gear: crop top, shorts, tool belt, goggles, and a tail with real presence. Three interchangeable faces (smiling, shy, angry) use movable eyes, and the accessory count is generous for the price tier — eight hands plus a full tool set: pipe wrench, screwdriver, spanner, axe, wooden mallet, and wooden sword.

Longshan LS-Meid.S-01A Mysuru: A 1/6 Sniper Maid

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

龙山重工 (Longshan Heavy Industry) is a new Chinese studio entering 1/6 with a concept that needs no translation: maids with military hardware. The Maid Knight Corps (女仆骑士团) line opens with LS-Meid.S-01A Mysuru (米苏), the team’s sniper.

The concept

Mysuru pairs a fully tailored black-and-white maid uniform — lace trim, apron, headdress, thigh-high stockings — with a scoped sniper rifle and tactical pouches. The contrast is the whole point: parade-ground maid aesthetics carrying a precision weapon, posed like she means it. A pistol sidearm and sword round out the loadout visible in the official photos.

Longshan LS-Meid.S-01B Anchira: A 1/6 Grenadier Maid

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The second member of 龙山重工 (Longshan Heavy Industry)’s Maid Knight Corps (女仆骑士团) is LS-Meid.S-01B Anchira (安琪拉), the squad’s grenadier — and a very different personality from her sniper sister Mysuru.

The character

Where Mysuru is cool and composed, Anchira goes for bookish firepower: round glasses, twin braids, cat-ear headdress, and a full maid uniform reworked for combat — with a grenade launcher as her primary weapon. The official photography leans into the contrast: soft maid silhouette, heavy ordnance.

Rocket Toys ROC-003: Uchiha Itachi in 1/6 Scale

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Rocket Toys is a Chinese studio working in the 1/6 anime figure space, and its ROC Naruto line has become a reference point for collectors who want their favorite shinobi at 12-inch scale. The ROC-003 Uchiha Itachi is one of the line’s defining releases.

What you get

Itachi ships as a complete 1/6 figure: an anime-proportioned body, a portrait-accurate head sculpt, and a tailored fabric Akatsuki cloak outfit — the layered look that defines the character. Like other ROC releases (Kisame as ROC-007, Sasori as ROC-010), the figure leans into display presence: this is a shelf centerpiece, not a toy-aisle figure.

Romankey Cocoon Series PPX001 JIJI: A 1/12 Original Done Right

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Romankey is one of the Chinese brands pushing 1/12 scale beyond licensed subjects. Its original Cocoon Series of articulated 1/12 figures introduces small, strange, personality-packed characters — and the second release, PPX001 JIJI, is a perfect example of why collectors are paying attention.

The character

JIJI is a mischievous little traveler, defined by the insect perched on their head and the wooden basket strapped to their back. Branches, a freshly caught fish, and other small treasures peek out of the basket — the whole figure reads as a wanderer mid-journey. At just 9.3 cm, it is tiny, but the sculpt sells the story.

SexyIce VERMIN B0200 Locust: A 1/12 Insect Soldier Loaded for War

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

冰感工作室 (SexyIce) is one of the most distinctive original-IP studios in China’s 1/12 scene. Its VERMIN (虫系列) line turns insects into humanoid “artificial evolution” soldiers — and Experiment B0200 Locust is the line’s most heavily armed release yet.

The design

B0200 keeps the locust’s long antennae, compound eyes and exoskeleton-like segmented body, stretched onto humanoid proportions. The torso and limbs are covered in segmented plating, so it reads as a lab-grown insect soldier walking onto a battlefield. Three interchangeable mask modes (A / B / C) change the head’s whole expression.

Snail Shell RA-02 Tactical Maid Kazune Tokiwa in 1/12

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Snail Shell (蜗之壳) has built its reputation on 1/12 figures that mix anime character design with serious articulation — movable eyeballs, deep accessory counts, and a house style collectors recognize instantly. The RA-02 Tactical Maid Kazune Tokiwa, a collaboration with Japanese retailer amiami, might be the purest expression of that formula: a maid, fully kitted for combat.

The loadout

Tokiwa ships with a complete rifle system: assault rifle, advanced combat optic, laser unit, silencer, angled foregrip, alternate stock, and seven magazines — plus a tactical belt to carry them. The maid side is not an afterthought either, with a mini skirt, headdress, and cloth elements in the mix.
