The reason North Korea remains as it is, is fairly simple. Originally a tool of communist expansion, it's no longer in a position. It stopped being one since the 90's. It's a political tool, a loose cannon type at that. It's used by China to throw off most of it's neighbors who compete with it's claims to resources, land, and in a way acts a buffer against the American influence there. Also, North Korea is a nice source of labor for China, who despite having low wages, can outsource work to even lower wages. North Korea is in a way, a state that exists solely to justify the sphere of influences for both, and even the US. In other words, it's a proxy. Don't be fooled though, though North Korea is not a true threat to the world, it's not a pushover either. Many view it as just a toothless dog controlled by China, but it's not. It's army, training, and strategic location means that China, has several things to exploit in a war. North Korea would also be a costly thing to try and change or take. All those troops, even if armed with only bricks could bog down any invasion. It's strategic location means it can act as a threat or buffer to any country depending on it's own needs or china's. It's nuclear program is a shoddy set up, but possibly a collateral that can never be risked. Even if the government is seen as insane, inept, and stupid. It's probably done on purpose, not only to maintain power, but also to show anyone that it's a cornered dog with rabies to it's enemies. Taken seriously or not, no one wants to risk that chance all of it is real. Even China, plays along with this. Claiming it has influence, but also no control. No one is entirely sure how much a hold China has on that country, but it's clear that China would like to take any advantage it can to gain some ground in international politics. So there you have it, a country that is really, just an anomaly. Kept that way by everything around it. It's weird, the Korean people were never truly divided, until international affairs split it in two. Everyone wants to rejoin, but no one can move while it's leaders, and backers, are played off against each other. When it comes down to it, to the eyes of many Koreans, America and China are the culprits for this split. Maybe they are right, for better or worse, they probably wouldn't be divided otherwise.

How come it's okay for the US to take hostages and torture them and force feed them without any charges ever being made? The US doesn't go over to the middle east to take back the hostages. They just use that as an EXCUSE. They are hypocrites, war mongers, thieves, indiscriminate murderers, cohorts with mass genocide-rs (israel), betrayers, they spy on their own people, treat them like criminals, treat their allies like enemies, violate international laws, they bleed dry anyone that they can without remorse all for the benefit of their pay masters. Do you really think they would actually do something in North Korea, a country with hardly any power and nearly zero riches? let's just wait until oil is found in North Korea and watch the US suddenly realise they need to start a 'humanitarian' mission. Note: The US I refer to is the political entity comprising of a government and military organisation. NOT the American people.

Personally I'd just really pleased to see any more characters from this line!! Looking at how Berserk has 5 figures now (Guts, Griffiths, Guts Berserker Ver, Guts Band of Hawk Ver, Casca) as does SNK (Armin, Eren, Mikasa, Levi & Levi Cleaning Ver.) I'm really hopeful we'll see more Guyvers!! The only problem, is that the former series both have recent anime adaptions...........but so far there has been no news of a Guyver anime reboot!! Although I really hope there is!! If you base it solely on recent manga characters though, I think our best candidate for the next Figma is either Guyver IIF or Aptom Omega Blast!! How I would die for a figure of him: Sadly though, we're probably more likely just to get another Guyver III
