About a year ago an employee at Toy Tokyo said BxH was getting out of the toy business. If true, why?, what are they doing instead? If not true, what have they been up to recently? I am going through a major Bounter Hunter phase and am craving info like an addict. Even old links would be helpful. Bounty-Hunter.com is minimalist bordering on kawsone.com.

Thats what I heard, but they are still there.

dunno about all the going out of business stuff, but they're releasing a collaboration fig with house 33 soon...

they just stopped making toys for a little while because they think the vinyl toy scene is to oversaturated with so many people producing toys and not really putting anything into it. I guess from what I can gather in Japan a lot of cloths/fashion designers are known to shut down for a while when they think something is getting oversaturated and then they will come back with something NEW and Exciting. the guy over at RTHQ.com told me all about it. it is a pretty cool way of doing things.

Bounty Hunter article and news in the next issue of Super7! What perfect timing! Look for it March 1!

Thanks for the info. And I would tend to agree with them about the over-saturation. That thin line between art for art's sake and artsy toys definitely has blurred in the past couple of years. Glad to hear they're coming back though!

Glad to hear that about the next issue. I've been interested to see it since the hint in the isuue #10.
