Nowadays it is pronounced Tee-Bee-League 
As for Phicen, if the spelling is meant for English, you would be right. If it is a Romanization of something in Chinese (though ph is not usually used for those), who knows? I have heard other pronunciations (and seen other spellings), which I have assumed to be wrong.

I think it was Originally Tiger Brother International Technology CO. I'm trying to remember the other pronunciation. I saw a guy doing a you tube video and pronounced Phicen as "Peach-N"
I use TBL or just refer to it as 'Phi-Sin' akin to Greek alphabet Phi.

That's close to how I always said it: "Phi-zin", but I'm betting Brassco has it right.

I've always sid "Fi-Kin". But I' pretty sure that is wrong. Lately I've been saying "Fi-sin".
Regardless what I call them, I sure so purchase a ton on them.
I just put one together using the Hot Toys Toby M. Spider-man. Let me know if you all want to see what I've dome so far?

But of course, why would you even ask?

Hong Kong do speak it as Fi-Sen, or "Physon" if it is easier for you....I think it is same with English words

Before they used Phicen as a brand, they were a company called Tiger Brothers — I’m assuming they’re using that as part of their name.

It's spelled "Fi-sen" but it's pronounced "Throatwobbler-Mangrove." (Old Monty Python joke)

I know it's supposed to be pronounced 'Fi-sin', but I just can't bring myself to pronounce it that way. When I first saw the term, I pronounced it 'FI -kin in my head, and it's stuck ever since. Not that I ever speak the word out-loud anyway, but when I hear people call it 'Fi-sin' on youtube reviews, I still find that strange, even though they are correct.

Hehe, that's a good way to remember it, lawlaw.
Though my problem is not that I forget how it's really pronounced, just that I happen to prefer my own pronunciation.
