BlankShell said: Blind-bag products generally aren't then released without the bag because it cheapens the tactic for future use; the next time a Digimon blind bag product is released (assuming that ever happens, maybe it was just a one-and-done thing) consumers won't go for it because they know a few months later they'll be able to pick at their leisure.



Of course, it could be something else, like a product surplus that hadn't gotten bagged. And maybe this was always just going to be a one line thing, I dunno. Click to expand...

Blind products are often released later without the blindpacks, just not generally an entire wave (often with a minor change, like turning a blind figure into a normal keychain, etc.) Or the way they repainted various Domez figure from multiple brands to act as SDCC exclusives.Blind bag products tend to not be rereleased without the bag because they tend to remove them from shelves after a short period to be replaced with something else.If the products sold well and stores wanted more product for the fall, and nothing was scheduled for it, the only choice may have been to sell additional without the box.If the products sold poorly it's unlikely stores would want more Digimon products.
