>>8143278Man I totally agree with you about Eva. They don't even need him to consult articulation, they are so skinny by design just copying his past Eva joint setup will do the trick. He pretty much done the only complicated one which was the Shinkalion collaboration Eva.
But I think Yamaguchi x Evangelion has become it's own brand in a way, since that was one of the first action figures Kaiyodo made and became known in the industry. So might be hard to cut those two apart.
As comics are not that big in Japan, there's a limit to how many more Marvel characters they could do but there's still a few more years left assuming MCU or Spiderverse movies are not popularizing more characters to profitable status. And there's plenty left in DC.
I wouldn't mind seeing a new subline where the main sculptors are different but Yamaguchi handles the articulation, just like he did for many Vulcanlogs. UC mishandled that terribly but I think they had the right idea of taking off the load from Yamaguchi to maximize his talent. Because I don't think you should have figures not sculpted by Yamaguchi in a line called Amazing Yamaguchi, it should have its own name, own themes and IP's.
