I've been watching reviews of SW Toys Ashley and at least in my personal opinion, she looks decent enough plus she also has movable eyes. She also has a smiling face, which seems very cute to me especially since she resembles the real life model Ella Freya. I was originally thinking about getting an MT Toys Ashley but she's out of stock while SW Toys Ashley is still widely available. When I looked at MT Toys Ashley, she does look beautiful but I noticed she's not smiling.
Do you think SW Toys Ashley is decent enough? I was also looking at the upcoming Super Duck version but that's only a head and costume set and it's still very expensive, so I was thinking, I might as well get the SW Toys version that comes with a barrel and a bunch of fun accessories for just a bit of extra money. I think I can get her for a total of $170.
Being new to collecting 1/6 scale Resident Evil toys sure is tough at this point, too bad I didn't have the money when Damtoys first released Claire and Leon. I only managed to get classic Claire recently, and hopefully I'll get classic Leon at a later time since I love the classic versions the most. This time I made sure to pre-order the new MT Toys Ada that has two outfits, and hopefully I can also get a nice MT Toys Leon. I just love the ones with movable eyes more since it's fun playing around with their eyes haha!

Fingers crossed we get a Leon 2.0, but at this point, I'm about to pull the trigger on an aftermarket price.
I have a question, does MTToys/Master Team usually release their products on time, or are they always late like Super Duck? Their new Ada is supposed to be released sometime between October and December this year. Thanks!

Mttoys Agent 47 Hitman is getting a 2.0 so maybe a Leon 2.0 is not completely unlikely
The thing about this hobby is, everyone is always late and almost always fail to meet the advertised release date.
Unless you don't have the money to make the final payment, then they're usually right on time for some reason. lol

Can’t tell. Usually they release things on time +- 3-4 months late, but I have preordered their DLC Ciri two years ago and nothing yet, bunch of figures were announced after that and I have them at home already.
There's an "11.11" sale going on at AliExpress right now, apparently in celebration of single people. Anyway there are some interesting deals. I was able to buy SWToys Ashley for $150 with shipping and taxes using AliExpress coupons/promos ($169 and above, get $25 discount). Since I'm late to collecting these, I sure hope I didn't overpay too much above the msrp. I think there was also a VeryCool Bayonetta for that price and an SWToys Lara Croft for $190.
For others, I got Damtoys Classic Claire (displayed) for $250 last week, and then today MTToys Leon (brand new) for $299, I guess not too bad since they're just $50-$99 above msrp as a "late collector tax". I can finally just rest and wait for other characters to pop up.
I hope a company would create fully articulated 1/6 scale enemies like Tyrant, Mr. X, and Nemesis with modern articulation. Lickers and Hunters would also be great! They'd probably be almost 2 feet tall if they were to make them though lol! I'm just not a statue guy, I prefer being able to play around and pose them in all sorts of ways.

No, our guess is that they might lost the license.

Where did you got Leon at $300? All I see close to that it's eBay $300 + $100 for shipping.
I got him from a local seller, not Ebay or AliExpress.
I was about to recommend another seller to you on Ebay, $320+$20 shipping from Canada, but I just checked now and they just sold their MTToys Leon 3 hours ago. I was originally gonna buy that a few days ago but I was asking for more pictures first and they only replied last night when I already bought Leon.

Yeah, I also saw that one. Thanks for the intention tho!
At this point, I'll just wait for a 2.0. MTToys is doing it consistently and this figure is pretty sought after.
You're welcome! If I come across another Leon during my hunt for other characters in that price range, I'll let you know here!
I hope MTToys also makes a full Jill (with movable eyes). I was looking for it when I discovered that one's actually just a kit and doesn't come with a body, and the price for it is even more expensive than Leon lol!

Dam are just so slow it’s hard to know what they are doing.
For awhile I thought they cancelled the line after RE2 Leon but dropped 4 more figures a year later.
Tho official they have only ever talked about RE2R license.

I honestly think the license ended and capcom didnt renew. Dam is obviously still down, they have said in emails theyre still working on them. But they havent done anything for RE3, they released Hunk under their third party name as well as that Leon vendetta and it’s been well over one and a half years since RE4’s release. If anything was in the works, it would’ve atleast been announced by now..
I also don’t think MT would’ve even bothered doing a Leon if Dam was planning on making one. All these third party companies know about eachother and word spreads around fast. Most people prefer officially licensed over third party, if Dam was working on making a Leon it would hurt MT financially by competing with Dam.
They might still be waiting for Capcom to give them the go ahead and renew the license, but considering the timeframe I just don’t think that’s the case.

Thing is, MT would have bothered to make Leon either way, since Dam said they were working on RE3R figures first. That gives 3rd party companies 2-3 years of time before we'll see anything Leon related from Dam.
And I would be very surprised if they don't do a 2.0 in the meantime. Or even a reissue maybe.
