Pulled the trigger on the EX Gokin R.Jetan for Christmas after it went on sale for like 50% off and while the base figure is awesome as fuck, the way they justified the enormous retail price of 27000Yen is pure wasteful insanity:
They didn't even try to put in some clever engineering for the transformations so the figure ended up being a partsformer with all of the transformations requiring you to pull off the entire legs and slapping a different pair onto the hipjoints.
Here's the thing: those legs reuse a lot of the moulds of the standard ones which results in them also featuring a hefty amount of diecast to the point that the entire set features more metal content OFF the figure than on it, driving up the price in the process.
