I must admit that its one of my least favorite Heisei final forms (I'm way more partial to Type Formula), but again as time goes on I appreciate it more now.

I want to say that it doesn't make sense considering this was pre-Ghost where a series could basically guarantee all major forms within a year of air... except that it came outduring Ghost where there was that huge hiccup that was of course Ghost, not to mention after the letdown that was Type Formula and all its stickers.

Still I find it strange that this had a much lower production for both versions than say... Grateful.

A to reprinting: Bandai generally doesn't do reprints of TWE figures anyway, outside of Godzilla. So that feels a bit irrelevant to me.
