What really gets me is that a big draw of Figure-Rise for a lot of people - at least from what I've seen - is the low price and availability. Compared to paying 6000 Yen (at best) for a second-hand SHF of a main rider you might not even care about and having to do it within the month, you can just wait till next payday to pay half that for the same character and get a fun build to boot. There are a few Premium Bandai releases but they're all recolours rather than their own unique things, and more or less seen as extras.

So. I have no idea how this is supposed to appeal to that market.
