This thread makes me wish I had the resources/money/time/skill etc to start my own toy company. I'd love to do an affordable but not cheapshit 3.75 inch figure line that primarily focuses on older series and, unlike other lines, actually does the whole cast- not to Star Wars "Background alien with 3 seconds of screentime" levels, obviously, but due to being less risky due to the lower pricetag, would still be able to do the secondary/more niche characters. So for example, an Eva line that does Rei and Asuka as per usual, but also Shinji, Misato, Hikari, Ritsuko etc.
Better learn to use that student copy of Maya I have and get some prototypes made I suppose.
