Really like his look along with the sand/tan wave a few back. They really cry out for army building.

I think the higher prices would turn away new and casual buyers, these are small and less articulate toys for their prices and that always seems to be a stopping point for people I try to get into these weird things. Most that have been around a while know the price hikes usually come with heavier loads of paint and extra parts, I don't really mind $14 for a Glyarmor because I get parts for 3 different character builds from one purchase, but I wouldn't mind seeing an old school drop of part-swapped colorways and no armors.
Correction, my wallet would not mind that.
As a Transformer guy I've seen some ridiculous price gains in the last 5 years from rising production costs, going from very solid and well constructed toys for $12 a pop to almost $20 for something with low paint, cheap construction, and hollow parts. Meanwhile a big fat hunk of PVC like a Gobon is still $8, and when there's no armor or ridiculous paint masks, things like Exellis and Glyans still run $8. The way I see it I still get an $8 Pheyden, but it comes bundled with a $6 set of upgrade armor and two new heads as well, same way an Argen is the same cost as a Buildman and Axis Joint set together. It's just tough to justify when it's the norm and not a special thing. I can't blame Matt, he has to find new things to do with a toy he's been running for over 8 years, but it does feel like the drops are relying too much on the expensive armors and paintjobs lately.
