>>9058385I said Gasket because I feel he'd make a better action figure, and if they make Gasket I think we'd likely get Archerina as well (maybe both in a two-pack), but I do really want the Royal House of Gadgetry. I'd say the best way to do it is sell Damocles Sword Mondo as a single, then later sell normal Mondo in a box set with Machina, Sprocket, and Klank (with Orbis accessory naturally).
I'd be fine with them having reduced articulation. It's not as if Mondo or Sprocket's designs lend themselves to much below the waist. Machina I suppose could be fully articulated if she had a soft goods dress, but I just don't think it's worth the cost/effort for someone who only ever stood around. Klank is the only one whose design could make use of being fully articulated, but even then he mostly just existed to throw Orbis, so I wouldn't be too bothered if they reduced some of his POA to keep costs down. The biggest issue with the Machine Empire is the amount of paint required. Even with reduced articulation it's difficult to imagine Hasbro fully painting them, or for whatever paint they do get to not be a QC nightmare. They're extremely untoyetic by design, which would ironically make them look really great on a toy shelf if done well enough.
