>>10135211It's kind of a joke/meme answer, but also seem to hold some truth. Miyazaki Hayao seem to hate certain types of Otaku Culture. Like military/gun otaku who bothered him a lot around the time of Nausicaa. He also seem to hate the whole anime girl statue figure collector types, and action figures seem to fit into that mold in his mind too.
The only available figures besides those official store small vignettes stuff are model kits or something with focus to the vehicles and the figure is more of an accessory like Bandai's
>>10135226 They are more of "serious" collector items (Bandai ones are made by a watch company?) or not character specific or personal like the foot soldiers of the Revoltechs. There was a giant god soldier figma too from that Eva short film.
But anything that otakus can have impure fantasies about Miyazaki doesn't allow. Just wait till he's out of the picture, unless he made a super strict will there's no way Ghibli will continue to miss out on all that cash.
