Honestly this is kind of my biggest problem with Goodsmile and just Japanese lines in general: They take too dang long to get things out unless it's a Nendoroid.
Double-edged sword really. On the one hand, I see a character and I want stuff of them NOW, on the other, it gives me a lot of time to think about how much I
really
want it.

I don't see them going *that* far considering Figma's never leaned heavily into the fanservice category, which is something I'm grateful for.
I'd say that Yuuta and Anti would be next after Rikka and Akane if any more do get made, though frankly I'd love to have a "normal" proportioned Gridman that wasn't complete garbage.
Really should not be this hard...

I think they've only ever done like two? Saber and Sonico.
There's a discussion I don't feel like having here and now but I'm in agreement with Kiwami, the sheer amount of merch (and a couple of shots in the episode itself) just feels really skeevy and tasteless, and completely out of place for the show overall.
All that being said, I readily admit that I own Archertoria/Swimsuit Saber as I'm a sucker for the King.
Also, three characters now, counting the one they just released for their generic/original character.

Guess I'll have to make due with the Age of Extinction Dinobots....
As A Ninja once told me: Nothing is impossible, but it is not very likely.
