haha, pst, your fanboy is showing.
Yamato pretty much opened the door to mass produced anime accurate transforming toys/collectibles. They took an old license that hadn't seen a modern toy in nearly a decade... the bandai m7 toys were even *worse* than the original 1/55 line up, less articulate, paint apps and accuracy. The 1/48 vf-1 took the market from garage kits or toys that made serious compromises and made way for the takara MP line up. So while yamato was making highly accurate, perfect transformation toys, what where the competitors doing? Making minor upgrades to decades old molds? re-issuing 20 year old toys? Making toys that were basically designed first and animated latter.
There's only one other company that has released a PT toy on parity with what Yamato has done and that is Beagle.
Yamato has had a lot of screw ups, poor QC, some design flaws, boxes that were too big, hands that were too small, whatever, but it's laughable to accuse them of thinking too conservatively. They've taken some pretty big risks, and have shown a willingness to continue to do so.
