Why?
*sigh*
Sure, I could go ahead and buy the 6" Classic Lion-oh but that still wouldn't fix this eye-sore:
The 6" line is just such a stupid drop in quality. And despite Bandai's claims that they may continue the 8" line in some form we haven't heard much about it. I'm beginning to doubt that the Classic line will even continue.
Then there's this....
That's right, unpainted joints cast in the most highly visible color possible. Not to mention the exposed shoulder joints. I mean, who even does that?!
Now while I'm not sure whether Tomopop's coverage of Toy Fair has ended yet, I've heard on a few sites now that Bandai had nothing new to display at Toy Fair. Keep in mind that the next major con is SDCC in July so we're looking at a huge blank space right now.
