I wouldn't hold my breath for a Griffon or even a Zero. Just like the large scale Votoms toys, they never made any of the designs that deviated very much from the base Scopedog body. They can share parts between the various Ingrams to cut production costs, and even so the toy is in the $300 range. Imagine how much a toy would be if it had no remold possibilities...

Is it me or does the proportion actually look better on No.2? I have hold off getting No.1 but the proportion always steer me away (my wallet is grateful). When I looked at the pictures for No.1 I always felt that it's upper body is in a much bigger scale than the lower body, but looking at the pictures for No.2 I don't have that feeling at all. Anybody else is same as me?
Darn it now I want one.

its because the number 2 shoulder pads are slightly smaller and its not too round shape, thats why he looks better proportioned, everything else looks exactly the same with number 1. IMO
Yamato should reconsider its retail price, because it should be cheaper since they only need a new moulding for shoulder pads and its goggle and the shotgun, the rest is still the old moulding.
$300 will guarantee few will buy it. TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE for this number 2, YAMATO!!!

It's suicide for a company to release a high priced product and then later release what is essentially the same toy at a lower price. You alienate the customer base who bought the original product and instill a mindset of "wait and see" on future products, which can do nothing but hurt you. Besides, I'll bet the cost to Yamato was calculated based on using the molds for unit 1, 2, the Clat, and probably 3 too, so the per-unit cost on all of these are probably identical. It's never a matter of all the production cost going into the first unit and the rest being gravy; that's not how manufacturing works at all. It's all done on 2-3 year return production plans.

Just in the last couple of years I can think of at least half a dozen. Aquarion, Dancouga, Voltes.. in fact just around the corner we've got the new and improved Combattler, and there is rerelease of Raideen DX announced with some pre-buys as low as $105 USD.

Are you thinking about aftermarket price? Because Aquarion/Dancouga/Voltes and the like were rereleased for the exact same price as the originals, if I recall. It doesn't count if people were pricing them at ripoff price levels on ebay. Combattler is being released for a much HIGHER price than the original version, as well. I hadn't heard about a Raideen DX re-release. I thought retailers were still sitting on unsold stock of Raideen's, anyway?

Sorry, I read through your post a little quickly I think. I was considering that most of these re-releases have improvements and added accessories and then are released for the same price at an often much later date (which is sort of like charging less I guess), still frustrating but not the same thing as what you were saying.

Ah, okay. I know where people are coming from wishing these figures were cheaper; the price on these does kill me, because I'd love to pick one up, but it's hard to justify dropping so much money on something that I already have rather a lot of. Three CM's ingrams, three old Bandai kits, two revoltechs, a MG Ingram... I love the design and I'd love to get the Yamato, but three bills for a design that I have perfectly good figures of already... hard to convince myself of, you know? All that said though, this stuff isn't cheap to make, either, and being on the manufacturer's side of this kind of stuff I know how little money companies can make on toys and how much of a bath they can take if something doesn't sell well, so I can't find myself mustering up the righteous indignation to complain about it all that much, eheh.
