Saber Figuarts in general I predict will fair quite badly in the aftermerket, just like Ghost stuff did.

Ironically outside of Seihou, Ghost and Drive are the hardest SHF main riders to get right now it seems.

Ghost and Drive figuarts prices have shot back up and hover arpund 5500-6000 yen from what I've been seeing

Well, a lot of them are pretty decently priced in amiamis pre-owned section.

The only ones from Ghost that are routinely expensive are base Ore, and Deep Specter.

Everyone else is around 3,500 or less.

Didn't Ghost Figuarts do bad in the aftermarket because of all the issues the mold had? (e.g. waist articulation, elbow articulation, weak waist joint, etc.)

Then again Saber Figuarts are doing that whole thing with the hands where you have to take off the top armor section and put them on other hands so maybe that'll be the factor that would make it cheaper in the aftermarket? Maybe, maybe not, just a thought.

On Mandarake?

It's that and how bad Ghost was being received during the show's run. It got so bad that during the show's airing I could sometimes find Ghost for 20$. Didn't grab it, since I too didn't feel like it.

Care to elaborate?

I think he means that the Saber SHFs are going to widely available/on a cheaper price on the aftermarket just like Ghost because not that many people are into Saber.

I'm not sure if the same occured back in 2016, but Saber's SHF caused Amiami's website to mess up again just like Zero-One. I think it's fair to assume that Saber himself won't sell bad, but I can see Blades, Kenzan, and Calibur maybe to be the ones that will go down in the aftermarket or at least be more available.

So basically what happened with the Zi-O line, minus Ohma
