>>6011958As they tried to package fixed bodies with main releases just as fun accessories - Sonico, Raiden -, yen happened. Also the 10cm sd statue market was and still is mainly banpresto kyun chara prizes (not retail) and whatever bandai and friends used to make restarting anew every now and then with tamashii buddies, chibiarts, petit charas (limited ips), so they decided to harvest this niche. Co-de are statues, but with a regular nendoroid head, which usually means besides that fixed body in new outfit one more unique faceplate for the character, sometimes reused hair piece, sometimes a new hair accessory and one moving joint, neck. Is 3k yen really that cheap for that you get? It's still comparable with certain complete nendo boxes and for the fashion photography purposes it's still more viable to vandalize old releases but still, nobody else does higher end 10 cm sd statues, as usually it is 4-6 cm trading box minis, part-swapping gimmick is still here and they honestly try.
