its not totally fair to compare the two scenarios. the difference in design and especially quality between defender and G.springer is paramount. the official springer blew defender out of the water in every conceivable way.
whereas smart robin and G.brainstorm both have highly redeeming qualities. brainstorm is a retail figure which will be widely available and for a good price. also he looks pretty great, and people really dig the IDW look. on the flipside, smart robin has an AMAZING design and a different aesthetic. and people might be invested in FP's entire headmaster line, and itd make for an odd looking shelf to stray now. not to mention, when a 3P item sells out, the secondary market prices can explode.
