>>7882929Old revos went for about $20 to $30, so no. They don't count. And in 2008, they were honestly very good toys compared to basically everything else we had. The only comparable line at the time was MSIA which was just as gummy low quality ABS, and CM's robot lines, which are notorious for being absolute trash even when they were new. You could very much argue this for modern revos as they are genuinely way overpriced for what they offer, however. Especially things like Baikanfu and Optimus.
>>7883222I was stupid and desperate enough to buy both of the Vanquish playarts and their DMC4 Dante. The Sam broke out of the box because they painted joints pre-assembly and caused the plastic to melt and adhere to themselves, and the Bogey and Dante were both some of the least sensibly designed toys I had ever played with.
The entire line has always just been:
>make a statue>cut it up>slap in poorly designed friction joints>make the sculpt as overdesigned and overdetailed as humanly possible>market it purely to western comic consumers who do not collect toys by marketing them as a premium productPlayarts is shit and if you're stupid enough to buy and support their lines, you are probably someone who only collects one line.
