>>11227641Not every single transforming robot is comparable to Transformers, anon. You shouldn't use them as a yardstick because that's the only thing you know, it just shows your lack of knowledge.
>Why couldn't they afford ankle pivet, waist rotation, etc for that price?Because, contrary to Transformers, Chogokin toys are made of better materials, have sharper sulpts and way more clean paint applications. They're "luxury" robot toys for adults. Take all of that together and they obviously can ask for higher prices than something that needs to be sold to children. Articulation is never their top priority, but the premium feel of it.
I own a ton of Transformers and a good buch of Gokin toys (mostly SoCs), and they're enjoyable in completely different ways. They're not the same kind of product.
