That's the bane with figure collecting; companies need to make money so they need to make what the highest amount of people is most likely to buy. Not just fans, but also casuals who want one-offs for their videogame / comic / movie collection etc.

Safest bets will always be made, if the demand is there they'll maybe make a few niche choices as well.

But complete collections are hard to come by and if your figures of the popular characters aren’t going over well then the chances for said lesser known guys to be cast in plastic are even slimmer.

Chrono Trigger should definitely be a thing though, I wasn’t sure about them diving into Dragon Quest hard but they nailed the Toriyama look. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Chrono Trigger figures sooner than later.
