Yeah we're talking about a time back then when not too many people were aware of Japanese imports or high-end toylines like Mafex, Figma, Bandai Japan and maybe even Hot Toys to name a few.

When more people learned about them and saw the prices they commanded they weren't feeling it and the same could be said about the idea of pre-ordering stuff back then which some people didn't agree with but are more accepting of it now to some extent...

For me though when I learned about Figuarts in 2012 or 2013 I was instantly hooked because as a kid I always wanted a complete toy of my favortie characters in a show that had everything they used in the form of accessories so when I came across my first Figuart which was Masked Rider Ryuki I was filled with joy
