>>7011001In this context it's Bandai Hobby. Almost anything that isn't Gundam or Star Wars is guaranteed to have the shit end of the stick, no matter how iconic or popular the design or franchise is. The other anon makes a good point about the R3 line, but since it flopped, that only weakened Bandai's later efforts.
Tamashii Nations is extremely competent and rarely fucks up with their releases. But since they focus on finished figures, Nagano has almost nothing to do with them. It wasn't until that Gothicmade posted in the OP that anyone even knew Nagano was interested in making pre-finished FSS figures. And even then, the details are vague about what exactly is going into the figure.
