First, high-five for knowing what I meant off the bat. Second, after the clusterfuck of complaints following Ghidorah and the smattering of ones for Biollante's size and price, no way in this universe Bandai is ever doing MonsterArts Orochi. It would be nice if Yamato Takeru got MonsterArts love, but I have a feeling the response to the SHMA display the year Ikusagami was shown off was a lot more about the other figures present and not him.

The Vajra isn't in too bad a position yet, it showed up for the first time last fall. Give it more than a year with no word or appearance and then get worried.

The various Angels, especially Sachiel/whatever they call him in Rebuild, have appeared more than once. I bet at least one of them will finally happen in time.

Pokémon were originally considered for MonsterArts only for comparison to other potential SHMA concepts and because there was a potential issue with Pokémon and Digimon sharing the same toyline, which obviously smoothed over. As video game characters first and foremost, D-Arts always made the most sense as their home. It'll never happen but Shadow of the Colossus figures would probably end up in D-Arts. It's definitely a series of designs that would be in better hands with the MonsterArts crew, given their detail...

Then there's the Ultra-act model, put everything under one line. If that were the case, most likely all of the releases would be monsterarts.

Everything for a line like Pacific Rim would probably be in MonsterArts. You don't see SRC Mechagodzillas and Moguera, after all. I could also see the value in splitting the line up and handing the Jaegers to the SRC team. Robot Damashii definitely wouldn't touch them.
