>>6039117I think the gimmick of being an AGP is the main loophole Bandai has of making these while figma gets delegated the 'normal' license. Unfortunately that also means we end up overpaying for some weird ass 'extras' the figures don't really need.
Some ideas are interesting. Eg the Kongou sisters and the added transformation attack gimmicks. But the Naka sisters 3 part stage was pretty retarded. Bismarck's mecha robot wannabe 'transformation' is also stupid and ugly. Honestly I don't know why they started doing this. The earlier versions like Yamato, Takao etc with just regular ship parts was fine.
The other downside is the godawful ¥12960 price tag on each of the recent pieces. No way are these worth that price in terms of build quality or parts. Every single release has dropped in aftermarket value to a much more fair 8-10k.
