Bandai is taking on way more than they can chew. Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, DC, Marvel, Star Wars, Ranma, Digimon, Mario, series I don't even know the name to, and now WWF? COME ON?!
I wish they would go back to doing Figuarts of Sentai to at least finish the teams. And when are we going to get the rest of the main OT Star Wars cast? And I know it hurts to hear this, but Sentai just could not sell enough to be sustainable, for whatever reason. They may revisit it in the future, and I really wish they would, but for now, it's done. To answer the last part: Might be some issues with the rights to the likeness of Ford and Fisher, or they might be saving them for later. Leia's outfit in ANH would pretty much mean she'd be a brick from the waist down, I'd much rather have her in one of her ESB outfits, or fatigues from ROTJ. Though frankly I'd be on board for anything from ESB.

I personally think it's cool that Tamashii has been looking to do more Western franchises for the SHF line. I will be up for more Western franchises for the SHF line like Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Friday the 13th, Mortal Kombat, etc.

Talisman, I disagree as their quality control has really taken a beaten from what it used to be.

I've noticed no significant decline.

He's not the only one. All the recent Figuarts I've bought have been perfectly fine. Don't really see the significant decline you're talking about.

Neither have I, I'm buying SHF's regularly for about two years now and I got one single figure with noticeable QC errors. The rest is absolutely fine.
That's accessory count though, not quality control. |

I've had the odd figure come with a few sloppy paint apps, but that strikes me as more being unlucky than any "significant QC" decline". A lot of the ones I've owned in recent years have also been some of the best.
As for the hiked prices with fewer hands/accessories, it sucks but not overly surprising. Prices are always going up on everything.
