I've never seen actual sales numbers, the only thing I base my comments on is the fact that 1 SHF was almost cancelled and because of American interest has been revived 2 which characters sell a lot, how often I see people buying these and if so which specific characters etc and 3 how these are released here relative to Japan. Most DBZ SHF figures are web exclusives (is smaller release) in japan, whereas they're big releases in America.
Point 1 and 3 make me think Sci-Fri's right, factually. But point 3 also makes me doubt whether the American market is enough to warrant an increase in production, instead of just the continuation of the line, since we're talking a Japanese company/division here that I'd assume has it's domestic market as prime focus of their production capabilities. I'm pretty sure lines like Kamen Rider, or Sentai is more popular in Japan, especially considering how many releases it has.
So that's pretty much the only info I've thus far based my perspective on. I'd love it if American interest alone could up the production on the line, but somehow I doubt that.
