While I get the frustration, that whole "pending licensor approval" thing with Capcom sort of is a major sticking point. I know I've heard from other figure makers how difficult Capcom can be regarding licensing and approvals. Even Ken and Ryu likely went through a rather arduous back-and-forth.(good lord…TWO 3rd party companies released their Chun li’s before IS even got to sculpting their 3 year in development Chun Li)
Obviously, figures from a third-party like Star Man and Play Toy just outright bypassed that process and didn't have to deal with any of that hassle. If Capcom was involved, neither of those figures would have been released in a timely fashion either and there would have been a lot of notes for changes and modifications before the greenlight was given.
But I fully agree that the waiting period is rather grueling for this line. For someone like myself who would go bonkers for a Blanka, their current pace doesn't exactly inspire confidence I'll get it anytime this decade. We'll see.
