If they were to go down that rabbot-hole then easiest one they could do is Kamen Rider Quiz since the mold is 80-90% Ex-Aid suits but I know why you mentioned Shinobi because he's popular

Copied and pasted into this thread.

So I just found out that there's a 'lie flat' movement in China where people lie down and just refuse to work (much to the CCP's chagrin). This combined with China refusing to accept foreign coal in an effort to becoming self-sustaining (and causing power shortages all across China as a result) makes me wonder if these are primary factors as to why merchandising (like Figuarts) and other stuff made in China are becoming more and more expensive rather than just blaming everything on Covid (which is undoubtedly another primary factor but is by no means the only factor in the inflation of product prices).

Now this is interesting. Relating to this, a lot of products under Goodsmile (namely Figma), went through terrible QC and/or were delayed several times. One such case, Goodsmile had to put out an actual apology and replacement campaign on their website. Figma Yumi Yotsuya. They also apologized for "planned power outages" in their china factories.
https://www.goodsmile.info/en/post/5...e+Apology.html I'm... Not entirely what to think here. There's a lot of ways and positions I can take. One, considering just how absolutely screwy China is over its people, it does make me feel less impatient about things a lot more, now that we know this is a thing happening. On the other, I feel like there's probably a better way of handling this that doesn't involve these mishaps over production. But, like I said, considering how brutal China is, this is probably the best they could come up with. The idea of a self-sustaining country is pretty neato, but at the cost of outright refusing import prodcuts? Don't seem right. At least in m surface-level understanding. |

Neato. Do wonder if Shadowmoon's popular enough to go high in the aftermarkets or not. BLACK's easy to come by I think, at least around here. If Nobuhiko here is the same case, that's a little more relief in coming back for him later once they get RX out.
Speaking of Seihous, think they'll properly announce the Decade reissue this week? |

Shadow Moon is definitely popular enough, but I wonder if his rubber parts would make the price go down
