I don't know what you're talking about now.

My original point was that I disagreed with your assertion that Kiryu HAD to include the backpack. I mentioned two hypothetical scenarios of Kiryu including no pack at all and then making the Tokyo SOS version of weapons an exclusive. You then claim it's an essential part of the character that is always included with him, so I had to be wrong, and specifically mentioned merchandise. My reply is that you are incorrect, Kiryu's been depicted without the backpack plenty in toy form. Bandai 8", M1, Ultimate Monsters, Bandai Creation 11", SD, West Kenji, Banpresto... etc.

This is S.H. MonsterArts, the toyline where the only way to get Godzilla's iconic form of attack across nearly 60 years of film is the first-edition release of one of his Heisei incarnations. You give Bandai too much faith to think they couldn't have gone the Tamashii Web route for accessories when their history among numerous collector lines says otherwise. This time around, we happen to be lucky or blessed.
