I guess it is a marketing strategy lor, can see they tried to save cost with OOO using rubber feet but failed as it made the figure slightly lousy.
Then fourze due to the design not many people fancy it making their figures drop price. (elec and fire state 700-900 yen)
By making it limited, the value can increase and can cater to less demand hence less lost?
But i know the feeling bro especially wizard one main form the rest all limited kinda sucks and gundam also sigh, kit line okay lor some limited here and there, RD line sigh wanna cry if want to complete the set/series
I have a feeling this is the new strategy for Bandai.... to release more Tamashii Exclusive and less normal release...
This might be due to the fact that the cost is getting higher for them, with their relationship with China deterioting and over all cost in China increasing, and they do not want to over produce... so, most things are produced according to order...
The only normal release (mass production) will be the most popular toys or collectibles... eg, for SHF, they will only produce the main form and final form of the Main Rider, and the main form for the secondary Rider.... the rest will all put into Exclusive, ie produce according to orders....
