>>8209876BD got released like five years ago, so it has staying power, so you can't really say that they're too late.
The entire problem is that Bandai has a problem sculpting and painting everything. They have no A-talent, despite what people say about their power rangers, which need to get revised every couple of years because of how bad they really are but the new version is totally the greatest ever and perfect.
Same shit with their DB figures, except they have a lot fewer problems.
