>>11291362I'm not sure what the age range they're aiming for, I just assume they are aimed towards international (mainly US) markets. What I would have done from the start is basically what Bandai America did with DB, releasing slightly different version of Japan's DB Shodo line but bigger. They became like 5 inch later for DB, added Demon Slayer, etc.
For Gundam, this would be a bigger version of G-Frame conceptually, but as completed models, not so much able to be disassembled except for like the ball joints because they have to be. Not as big as GU for joint wait tolerance but HG kit size should be doable.
Frame is shared to save costs, armor parts are mostly one or two pieces each glued on, just weapon holding hands in PVC. I think they can be cheap enough like Hasble or McFarlane action figures. Something like beam sabers can all be same mold honestly, who cares how inaccurate the grips are, have round and square you covered 99% of them. Downside is they can't be for lower ages but they should be as durable as say TF toys. Same material and they have ball joints.
