That's true. On the other hand, I gladly pay the current prices for the kind of quality sculpts they offer today.

Oh good question, might have been either. Personally I prefer diecast in robot toys for an "authentic" feel and a bit of heft, with plastic figures of people in spandex I don't really need diecast.

This month should be Horobi and then Valkyrie next probably. I'm guessing the Shining Hoppers after and then Thouser. It'll take a few more months at least.

It looks a bit too busy I think. Also, I really like Shining because it was an update with a unique power that wasn't tied to a gimmick toy. Sure he got the Buster rather fast but for his initial appearance he was all about melee combat. Plus the transformation sequence is better. I don't know what that blue-yellow hopper thing Aruto does his best Gaim impression with is supposed to be but it doesn't work for me.

The popularity needs to be there I think, I like Ichijo a lot but I don't think a figure of him would sell all that well.
