My biggest beef is the complexity getting in the way of solid transformations, lack of range on the knees, and how thin he looks from the side when using the cannon as a bow. There's like a $10 add on part in the works that allows you to stick part of the cannon on the back to fill it out.
>>5372167It's easier to swallow and justify $100 every few months than it is $500 in one go. Manufacturing wise the company recoups costs per figure per release. Since they don' manufacturer in as large of quantities it would take a lot longer for 5 figures to come out of one their factories at the same time. Historically it's also allowed them to correct defects with subsequent releases or replacement parts included with the next few members if something goes wrong with one.
