What the hell happened to this company? Feels like all they've been doing for the past few years is drip-feeding Halo Reach spartans.

I wish they kept their Izmojuki series going, but like 50% smaller

The last two Samurai Troopers releases not having matching brown and purple armor for their hands is dumb. They are shown both ways in art. Almost ruins the whole line for me.

They got assmad when someone stole their prototype figures from a con and took their ball and went home.I wish I was joking.

They were a somewhat independent subdivision of Sentinel.
Were focused on making articulated figures in collaboration with artists. Just look at their line-up. Though Tsutomu Nihei was their main artist here, Synths and his other creations were selling like hot cakes. Still wish we got Killy and Safeguard reissued.Thus, 1000toys got some real hype and recognition for their top figures. And after that Sentinel started aggressively pushing their bullshit engineers, sculptors, franchises and ideas. The OG team with their leader Yuta Tobari left and later created Tokyo East Side Toys.
While 1000toys is just a semi-dead carcas under the rule of the clique of "efficient" managers from Sentinel.
Btw, Sentinel pushed some shit made by their arse-handed employees. And these shitty figures are a mess. For example, Re-Edit CE Chief is atrocious. His joints crack on their own, these pieces of overcompicated engineering, that have probably zero material resistance or engineering put into. And Reach figures are a separate kind of crap.So yeah, support T.E.S.T. with your money, if you want to get the 1000toys quality stuff. Since the main crew is residing there, not in the basement of Sentinel.

>1000toys was an offshoot from sentinel and had an overlap in staff, they were able to use sentinel factories. It was meant to be a company that worked with Japanese artists; Tsutomu Nihei, Kim Jung Gi, Izumo Jyuki etc. but they ended up doing more and more licensed stuff.
>The guy who started 1000toys left to start T.E.S.T, which is continuing some projects started under 1000toys (female synth, Zoichi) and new ones (Abara).

Is the current re:EDIT Chief just a re colored copy of the old one, or did they fix the quality control issues?
