>>8112687This is the thing, Bandai has its hand in every cookie jar. They're competing with multiple companies. Another I haven't seen mentioned is Sentinel, who Bandai is always tryign to undercut, or viceversa(if Sentinel releases an 80s super robot, Bandai releases theres for cheaper with premium coloration.), And even Hot toys. a few years ago at NYCC there was a sort of panel/interview thing with Tamashii representatives and they talked about how they don't consider Hasbro their competition, they consider there competition to be Hot toys. and it makes sense, Bandai is making those western movie figures for space conscious Japanese collectors who can't make room for multiple 12'' figures.
