They quickly realized that a new way of selling toys could be in parts. If your parents could not buy the whole toy, well, you still had a chance to buy it in pieces, one bodypart at the time... Great for kids to spend their allowance ! Or for markets that did not have the purchase capacities of, say, the U.S....
These robots were also sold "whole" - for the rich kids !
