Subject: Why not Ranma? Easy.

The show is DEAD. 6 foot under. It was big back when the only ranger and giant Robo were worthy of any long running toyline, and in the flush of 3 billion new anime titles each year it's been pushed to "Ran-what?" status amongst a large portion of the otakus in Japan. Well, that's exaggerating it slightly but that about covers it. true, the series does still come into some runnings for "top 20 anime over the past 2 decades" polls, but Slayers is always in the top 10, and there are like what? 5 Lina figures and one doll, 2 of which are Italian made. Hopefully Slayers Premium will change that....

Unless a US company picks it up, I don't think you'll see any big Ranma toyline from Japan. Hee hee, they don't like Tenchi that much there anymore either. :-p

Rumiko's busy busy busy with her latest project: Inu Yasha. Lots of stuff in gahsapon land, but no action figures yet. I'd love a set like the super-poseable Lupin stuff.

Potty Horror....damn, that was a draggy movie.
