>>7197628Western normie collectors don't give a fuck about articulation. Will just buy shit and leave nrfb. That's why we got pokemon Pops and those statues of pokemon doing attacks and plush. People who want articulation are the minority and will always will be because not everyone likes seeing cuts and joints on figures.
The figuarts never got released through pokemon center through some bs embargo originally. Not sure if Ash and Team Rocket were sold through Bluefin.
