Dunno if this is the best thread, but has anyone bought figures from Nottaa Collections before?
I don't know a thing about them/this figure, if it's an original IP or based off of something, but I love how it looks.

I'm assuming it's based on Eastern mythology of some sort.
He does look amazing.
The company did release a 3 pack of martial arts masters figures that looked pretty good, and functioned well from the reviews i saw.

Many of the characters they're releasing are from Journey to the West, one of China's classic great novels. The story is of Sun Wukong and is based on Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuangzang and his pilgrimage to retreive Buddhist sutras from Central Asia/India. The novel has inspired many pop culture properties such as Dragon Ball.
The Azure Lion, Yellow Tusked Elephant, and Golden Wing Great Peng are specifically the demons of Lion Camel Ridge. They block Sun Wukong and his party's passage on a mountain. The Lion represents the mount of bodhisattva Manjusri, the Elephant represents the mount of bodhisattva Samantabhadra, and Great Peng is sort of a corrupted Garuda (the mount of Vishnu)
I'm probably mixing up some things and missing others, but it's been a long time since I took those classes.
AXY toys have posted renders of their Triceratops, these come with a Roman flavor:
Man is that a nice looking toy. I'm going to have to fight myself so hard not to order this line. So many companies just killing it right now in the 1/12 space. Sigh
I'm pretty excited to have gotten this guy on a Lightning Deal on Amazon yesterday, saw it on Preternia's Twitter. Then Amazon delivered him at 6 am before I left for work this morning! Absolutely beautiful figure, really solid & pretty stable in posing.
BBTS has the D20 Griffins up:
White Version:

Brown Version:

Colored proto doesn't have articulation cut in yet but you can see a map of the joints in the gallery.
120 big ones and releasing Q2 next year (hopefully).
That Griffin is really nice. Not sure I can commit $120 to it at the moment, but maybe when it's shipping...
Weird though they spelled it Griffon - with an "O" on the site, but I guess there is a secondary spelling of it that uses the O... and apparently another spelling that ditches the I and F in favor of YPH and goes Gryphon (bloody brits)... so I guess spell it how you like.
Hopefully Gundamit will put them up as well.
@felgekarp same. I love the Sun figure. It's actually probably my current favorite purchase of the year.
Ill pass on the tricera/dino guy. that new Anhur figure that they are showing is he a lion or tiger? if its a lion wheres the big hair? theres no pics with the hair either?
Rebor is doing a dire wolf figure (not an action figure, fyi) in what they call the "plus-or-minus-1/11" scale, meaning they consider it to work for both 1/10 and 1/12 scale. They've already got a really nice Smilodon piece in the scale as well. Anyways, there is the "regular", scientifically-accurate version:

and the "fantasy" version with a different head:
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/259411?o=4
Going by previous release, these are not likely to be the only colors they do. The Smilodon, for example, has at least ... five? I can think of. Regular, tiger-striped, jaguar-spotted, clouded leopard-spotted, and Battlecat homage.
