Again, no. The Super Saiyan Son Goku Awakening Version came out almost 2 years ago, he was priced at 5616¥.

The figures with the older bodies at that time were like 4500¥, that's a difference in about 10 bucks.

I have no idea where you shop and what you paid, but I'm talking about Tamashii's prices here, which is the only thing you could criticise them for, changing currency rates or markups by Bluefin are not their fault.

Depends on what you're talking about, main line or Shinkocchou Seihou.

Shinkocchou Seihou is, of course, more expensive, but the mainline Rider Figuarts have gone through a similar price change as the Dragonball stuff.

Kamen Rider Gaim was 4104¥, Ex-Aid is 5184¥. About 10 bucks more in 3 years.

That is more than I paid for my Ultraman with the buildings and King Joe didn't include a single accessory. The least they could have done was given him an alternate gun arm from Ginga.

Metron is literally the same price as Ultraseven, 5940¥. And Ultraseven is only like 3 bucks more than Ultraman who was priced at 5616¥.

King Joe is more expensive due to more plastic being used I assume.

The 54 Godzilla is about 5 bucks less than Gomora, isn't that fair? Aren't they equally sized? Gomora has a few accesories but nothing major really.
