Why, Takara?

These look terrible, but at least they are cheap

Good lord... Why?

Seeing a lot of hype for the ne Voltes 5 merch. I can see it for the roleplay sword and the bigger articulated figure, but the blind boxes? REALLY?

It's surprising how low-effort and non-sensical the ideas here feel.

I get they want to provide a comparatively low price point in the line, but why blind box? Are there really that many die-hards who want to complete these? Do enough of them have the disposable income to buy a whole case to get all the colors? Is that market simple enough to overlook the fact that these are the same figure in a very static pose?

It would make more sense if these were in a blister or baggie and in a single color.

I mean if it's true they are following the tatching concept, that tracks with the colora, but simpler packaging would have made more sense. And again, a less static pose wpuld have been great.

They could have gone back to the kenkeshi idea (like the old M.U.S.C.LE/Kinnikuman figures) and keep the multi color concept but put them in dynamic poses to increase collectibiloty.

Wendee's going to the mall later to get jer hair done and I was looking to see if there are any films to watch while I wait. Slim pickings this week.
