Overview
Founded in 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan by Yung-Liang "KK" Yang, Beast Kingdom Co., Ltd. has established itself as a major force in the global pop-culture collectibles market.
Initially entering the industry as the sole regional distributor in Taiwan for high-end international manufacturers like Hot Toys, Sideshow Collectibles, threezero, 3A, and Kids Logic, the company rapidly evolved into an original developer and manufacturer.
Today, Beast Kingdom is publicly traded on the Taiwan Emerging Stock Market (Ticker: 6995.TWO) and operates an extensive retail and distribution network spanning over 40 countries. Beast Kingdom occupies a distinct position in the collectible market by bridging stylized artistic interpretations with museum-grade craftsmanship. Its portfolio ranges from accessible blind-box mini figures and high-articulation 1:9 scale figures to innovative magnetic levitation statues and limited-edition 1:4 scale polystone sculptures. By securing official global licenses from entertainment titans such as Disney, Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, DC Comics, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Tsuburaya Productions, Capcom, and Blizzard Entertainment, Beast Kingdom delivers versatile, high-quality offerings tailored to casual fans and high-end collectors alike.
History
Beast Kingdom began its journey in 2009 as a Taiwanese distributor for premier collectible brands, but its transition to original manufacturing between 2012 and 2016 marked a dramatic turning point. The launch of its signature stylized Egg Attack series earned immediate industry recognition, winning the Disney Best New Comer Award in 2012, followed by four consecutive Disney Best Licensee Awards from 2013 through 2016.
In 2016, the company broadened its footprint by co-hosting the global touring interactive exhibition "AVATAR: Discover Pandora" in Taipei alongside 20th Century Fox, Lightstorm Entertainment, and GES. Between 2017 and 2020, Beast Kingdom diversified its original product portfolio, launching 1:9 scale Dynamic 8ction Heroes (DAH) articulated figures, D-Stage diorama statues, and handcrafted 1:4 scale Master Craft polystone statues.
International expansion accelerated alongside these product developments, establishing concept stores worldwide. In April 2022, Beast Kingdom expanded into Japanese tokusatsu by partnering with Tsuburaya Productions to manage licensing and live events for the Ultraman franchise across global markets. By 2023, the company officially traded publicly on the Taiwan Emerging Stock Market, solidifying its growth from local distributor to global collectible heavyweight.
