>>8377437>when you could just slap nendo head on doll body.Pretty much this. We can turn any of our favorite characters who got a nendo into a chibi doll. Koto dropped doing Poches of existing characters, likely because sales weren't good enough to compete with GSC who had been doing it long before. Same thing with Bandai's Chibi Arts, though I wish they kept doing them since those were generally IPs they wouldn't give to GSC.
