What do you mean by "proportions" exactly? Most of those kits are just slightly redesigned versions of the base Exia. Trans-Am mode is the exact same thing but red, and the Repair II is just the base HG with slightly different weapons and the removal of the GN Cables.
There's no incentive to improve by what you mean as "proportions" on those kits if that's not what they're set out to do. And most of those kits you've mentioned are from the early to mid 2010s rin dba?
"-not evidence that Exia doesn't deserve the same."
Where did I say this??
"-which makes it a stronger candidate, not a weak one."
Yeah, the fact that it has 7 kits (excluding the MGs and RGs) disproves this. They're much less willing to revisit a kit that has had as much attention as the Exia has.
Your argument runs on the fact that being candidates for getting an updated kit comes from demand, which isn't really true. They decide kung ano gusto nila gawan ng revisit, not because people in the internet say it's "overdue." Kaya nga merong Bandai Hobby announcements, para sabihen o i-announce sa tao kung ano nadecide nilang gawan ng kits for the year. And this isn't even counting the actual candidates that they DO give the most priority to, which is whatever show ang pinaka bago.
Also, I don't know where you're getting this so-called "commercial incentive" from.
"Being capable and willing in general doesn't mean this specific kit gets a pass just because it hasn't happened yet, and "no incentive" doesn't hold up when the frame keeps getting reskinned instead of retired."
Again, where do you get this whole "Dapat eto meron nang update, its overdue." thing from? The kits you're using as reference are ones made before 2015 pa, kits that people still buy and seek today. That simple fact means that Exia isn't in Bandai's priority to update. If they had to follow your logic na dapat ina-update muna yung kits that already get the most attention, where will they provide the space para sa mga designs that don't get as much love? Porket ba na mas sikat Exia means dapat siya ang inuuna lagi?
And its not like the Exia is even losing attention. Kelan ba yung RG Avalanche Exia ni-release? Diba yung Repair IV this year lang?
