I hope the line isn't dead. I did enjoy the concept, especially Tentomon and Patamon. Those are the two I plan to get next. Though if it is dead it's because Bandai shot themselves in the foot with releasing Diabolomon, Alphamon, and Angewomon after WarGreymon and MetaGarurumon. There's nothing wrong with Diabolomon's figure it's just he's not recognizable to mainstream Digimon fans (no one saw Digimon: The Movie, I'm sorry they just didn't). Angewomon and Alphamon however had those horrendous pieces of kibble on their backs that distract from the overall look of those figures (even worse than most). And don't even get me started on Angewomon's problems. It seems just as the line was improving Bandai gave up on it. I am sure besides the kibble the main reason for its failure was the cost. It's no where near Soul of Chogokin prices, but $60 to $90 for a shell-former? No Millennials that grew up with the show would be willing to spend that every 3 to 6 months. If Bandai plans to continue the line going they have to be innovative not only with design but with cost too. Keep it under $50 and release known Digimon.
