>>11229611I imagine back then besides the costs being less (not that they'd know the future) Kaiyodo have lost their senses on what a reasonable PVC figure weight should be from all the resin? polystone? they've been dealing with for years when they only made garage kits. I'm no expert but I think those materials are heavier than PVC? And maybe it was an inflation spiral of size, durability, and weight. You need thick pegs to support and not break, so increase size but so do weight and you need bigger pegs and so on. The only big size figure I have of theirs is the horse that came with Revoltech Raoh, and that might be the last true big size action figure of theirs. All the other ones were more lengthy and didn't really have that weight. That horse was mostly hollow also.
