That's a good point- it could mean that we see Linna next, in that case.
Someone turn the Timothy signal on.
Could the ADP trooper and Boomer be from the trading figure set offered at
around the same time as the other BGC figures?

Hmm, the toys are pretty pricey, so it sounds like they are targetting a
hard core element of fandom willing to pay for little bits of plastic. CDs
or books would be cheaper and reach a wider audience because of that, but
only if that wider audience wanted to buy them. That's all speculation, of
course.
What's interesting is this resurgence in older series- Slayers is getting
a
new TV season, something's going on with Trigun, and we're getting another
run of BGC action figures. I don't know what to make of it, however.
