In terms of other lines this is true. In terms of LC though it's actually a mixed bag. Galaxy Red and Zeo Gold all ended up getting single pack releases after their initial two packs, afterall.

Both times though they were downgrades -- Red didn't come with his sword, and Gold's, well, gold is muted compared to the 2-pack.

Granted the latter is more excusable and easy to pin on budget, but a later single-pack release isn't always great. I and a lot of other people were considering the single-packed Gingared until we saw he doesn't come with his sword and instantly stopped caring about him

This is all true yes. But I was more in speaking in terms of them actually existing. Yeah, they weren't handled in the best way, not at all. But Hasbro does seem to want to do more standard releases for figures in this line eventually for those who mainly just care about having the character itself.

There really was no excuse for Galaxy Red not having his sword though.

seen at Wonfest in China. Coming soon???

Yooo, very tempted to pick that up!

Ecliptor will be cool to have. I just wish hasbro would do the Morphin Masters.

Yes, Ecliptor! I'd love to grab one!

Oh heck yeah, I still have my old Ecliptor Toy somewhere in my old PR stuff.

This is definitely a must buy.

Definitely want that Ecliptor. Surprised they're making you double-dip on Astronema already, though. Like she looks different but it's still the same overall figure as the one with In Space Red.

I need that Ecliptor something fierce!
