These aren't new news, about month's old by now but the exact things that were talked about that I translated back then.
List of updates from recent livestream in China:
- Magnetic eyeballs are in testing stages at the moment (basically using magnets to control the eyeball movement)
- Will stop the first batch release on full payment for future release (my own comment: not sure when and I don't think it applies to influencer batch)
- Two versions of Michael Jackson, Concert (Most likely Dangerous Tour as we have seen the prototypes) and MV version
- No sculpted hair version for Michael Jackson
- Unlikely to have a giant platform for either versions due to cost/production problems
- This is the most likely figure to open for pre-order next (we shall see)
- Bruce Lee 1/12 and 1/6 next year (2025)
- Bruce Lee is also silicone for upper body (not stated clearly if it applies to both versions or)
- Constantine still in discussion (I assumed it's Keanu Reaves version because of the next statement)
- Matrix figures are placed in priority compared to John Wick, will base on the early movies
- Superman stated to be released by this year 3rd quarter (my own comment: influencer batch first then second class citizens can go **** themselves.)
- Ben Affleck's Batman in planning stages, there will not be armored look
- Ben Affleck's Batman will have 3 individual versions, Bruce Wayne, Batman and Desert/Knightmare Batman
- Ben Affleck's Batman stated to release pre-orders this year
- Plans for Henry Cavil in reporter's suit
- Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is still coming, just have to wait
- Bale's Batman 1/6 and 1/12 will be considered.
- Unlikely to do rooted hair version due to complexity. (my own comment, probably didn't make any huge difference between rooted/sculpted)
- Joker 2 figures will be under planning/release, Harley Quinn will also have a release
- David Corenswet's Superman will also be considered for release.
- Zixia (A Chinese Odyssey) passed the initial review but now under development hell as the contract has lapsed
- Initial preparations for Game of Thrones characters
- Terminator 1 license obtained, will have diecast skeleton
- Likely to be release for pre-order next year (2025)
- Fellowship of Ring characters are still coming, will be in priority (no idea what kind of priority they are talking about, but all will be released in the end)
- There are plans for teenager Harry Potter characters (my own comment; so probably the main 3 plus Malfoy?)
- Hermonie's knee joints have been adjusted, they might switch to silicone lower body instead. Headsculpt is also under adjustment
- Black Myth Wukong figures will be planned after the game releases.
- Chainsaw Man (and other Japanese manga figures) will be in 1/12, not going for 1/6 anymore.
- The Walking Dead series in planning; Rick, Negan and Daryl
Hopefully I didn't miss anything.
