This Popeye was by "Dasin Model"/"Dasheng Model" who has done a lot of other anime figure work with some One-Punch Man, Yu Yu Hakusho and Ruroni Kenshin figures over the years, and had also done a Tom and Jerry release long ago. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED BUT NOT 100% CERTAIN, the general consensus is that they are Great Toys. If that is true, Great Toys being their label for their Saint Seiya releases (Joe's gold armored anime dudes), though I am not sure if they've used any other franchises under that label.
Best comparison I can make Transformers 3P-wise, is like the Ultima Guard side of Wei Jiang.
If anyone wants this Popeye or any other Dasin/GT figures, domestically you can find them at Omnime and 5KToys, retailers who respectively I can personally vouch and have heard nothing but praises about. Popeye is only available at the former though, link below.

Where does one buy this? If there’s no branding, what do I search for to find it? I kinda want it!
