I mean, that's pretty much what they've been doing with the RKF Saber line. RKF is pretty fucking fantastic for its price point(especially the Saber releases) - I genuinely don't see how they could really improve it much further. We have torso rotations for figures that hover between 8USD to 15USD(only time it's higher than that is for big releases). Gimmick/budget line figures in the past hovered around 30USD AT LEAST and never had that(in fact, most of these lines sacrificed articulation for playability).

I think RKF will stick to its motto, "it's cheap and it moves", until the very end.

The crazy part is that RKFs to this day are DIRT cheap, to the point that Bandai is probably barely breaking even by manufacturing and selling these figures. I've never seen any other product line that is literally always on sale - even if you pre-order it. I cannot find a single website or retailer where you can actually buy these figures at full price.
