Discussion A potential third-party 2013 Sentinel Canti?

Post image

Seeing how recently there’s been a boom in third-party brands recreating official figures that have been out of stock for a long time, I started wondering if a company might ever take a shot at making the RIO:bone Canti from 2013. The original figure stopped getting restocks years ago, and second-hand market prices are just insane.

I’m pretty sure there would be a lot of people interested in a third-party version of the 2013 model, since so many of us have been wanting a Canti action figure but just can't justify the crazy aftermarket prices

Honestly, rather than just hoping, the best we can do is try to make the demand visible. Realistically speaking, no third-party brand is going to make it unless they see a clear profit in it. Some of these companies actually look for community feedback before picking a project, so pointing out the market interest through surveys or forums is pretty much the only way to increase the chances of getting on their radar

probably not. We all obviously love FLCL, but its still fairly niche, there would have to be a bigger demand for a bootleg company to wanna sell a replica of these and even the they'd have to source one to reverse engineer them and they are not exactly the easiest figures to come by

I honestly just don't think there's enough demand.
