>>6478082I think you misread my sentence and missed the point of that little paragraph, my anon.
As the master license holder, Tomy was the company every other company had to check with to see if it was okay form to release stuff here. Tomy is a bitter rival of Bandai, so they wouldn't accept shit. Max Factory and Goodsmile had to work with making their figma and Nendoroids Pokemon Center exclusives here, so I'm assuming Tomy gave them or would have given them a hard time as well.
So when I said I meant that I hope Wicked Toys is " cooler" with other companies than Tomy, I meant that I hope Wicked Toys wouldn't keep waving their Master License around like a cunt. That's also why I brought up DC Comics. DC and everybody who owns some kind of toy license of theirs don't seem to give many fucks about Bandai making and releasing Figuarts here. On the other hand, Tomy was essentially an absolute wall.
I have the same concerns with you about Wicked Toys, which is I am saying that may the silver lining be that we can get Pokemon SHFs, figma, and Nendoroidd in the West without having to jump retarded hoops. Bandai in particular was really banking on that, I think their weird management of the license may be the result of floundering about, not knowing what to without that accessibility to the West. That's a world with Wicked Toys as the Master License holder that I can live with. Provided Bandai and Max Facotry up the ante and actually increase production as a result of more open trade.
