@keithgator:
I dunno if they will, but I damn well hope not. Strong world/Ver. 0 craze is over. I hope MH comes to terms with that rather than trying to come up with more ridiculous stuff to milk customers of their money. Kinda applies to Banpresto as well, I literally gaped for half a minute after seeing they would release Ver 0. Shanks for the GLM line…
I do agree that SW Shanks and SW Ace should never have existed in the first place. And I think the sales of both kinda reflect the majority opinion is the same. But I think Megahouse will continue to push ridiculous stuff. Hell. As far as I'm concerned Benn Beckman getting a POP is a shining example of this. He's only getting a POP because he's popular, he hasn't exactly done anything at all. And Popularity is all that matters in this business. (But then why don't we have Kid?)
Personally I'm hoping with the other figures like Doflamingo and Moriah Megahouse will start and produce some other chars. Buggy, Ivankov and Sengoku are well overdue a release. Magellan deserves one too. I'm sure we'll see another girl or two and Keimie seems to be getting popular. But what about others? Hiruluk is still pretty popular and they could always bundle Chopper with him if they think he wont sell.
As for Shanks GLM vol.0 I think the thing that made me sigh more was the fact that this is the third or fourth Shanks figure in the GLM and they haven't even got the crew out. I know he's important to the plot but to get three figures before Robin, Franky or Brook? Nope.
Anywho. New Uniqlo designs are out. Better than the last one but kinda disappointed some of the awesome ones we saw aren't there. I'll be doing a couple of orders for them if people want them.
