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.

I want something closer to Hasbro's 6-inch stuff in terms of quality and articulation. But like you say, sales probably aren't strong enough to justify it. Anyway, back to SHFs.
