Ill have to agree with you. I saw the price and laughed out loud. What are they thinking?
I too am really glad that the mad toys version is official now.
But im curious to know why did bandai release this when they know that the other one which is a lot better is coming out for such a cheaper price.

Do they really think that their fans are made out of money?
I find that bandai has been asking for crazy amounts of money for their figures lately. Are they financially in trouble or something?
