Are these just dead in the water?

A bit out of the loop, having only just gotten my first Hi-Metal R's this Xmas. Is the Spartan going to be some kind of exclusive?

How about they just do some 1/60 scale enemy mechs and really surprise us all? Regult please. They have to know it would sell and sell BIG.

It's definitely the same material as the fingers on the hands, so it must be POM then. All I can tell you is it had no trouble taking a bit of stress while transforming. The VF-1J I have is all pure white on all the bits and pieces, so you can't tell by color. But by feel, there is a marked difference between it and the ABS parts.

Not sure what the material is called, but it appears to be the same stuff that's used on the connector pieces on the fast pack accessories. It's a plastic with some flexibility to it and a bit of softness, but definitely not PVC. This being my first Yamato Valk purchase, I was very leery given the past problems of breakage that Yamato's had in what seems like all their transforming toys, but I've been very pleasantly surprised at the durability of the figure. Saying that, I'm a collector who is used to handling figures somewhat delicately. I never force a movement, and if something seems like it's not right, I go looking at the manual first. Anyway, mine seems just fine and unlikely to break.
