I'm not convinced you can justify that statement yet. MSV wasn't such
a robust idea before it got alledgedly killed (was the victim even
real?). The ongoing AoZ line(s) is essentially an MSV idea (did the
victim actually die?). If you are strictly talking about early 80s
MSV, and MG PG is indeed the last of them, I still don't think you can
blame MG PG for it (did the victim die of natural causes? And if
there's really a killer, is the killer really MG PG?)
I was saying you can't justify the statement that "MG PG killed the
idea". Each and every MSV design has to make it on its own. You
can't blame Perfect Gundam for killing anything.

First, the last MSV would be MG Perfect Zeong. Maybe my statement should be they both help killed the MSV revival. And yes MSV is MSV, the one by Okiwara in the 80s... AoZ is AoZ, a totally different line.
And I do think the lackbuster performance of MG PG & PZ did killed the MSV revival. There're revivial on MSV coverage on HJ, etc.. and then it's gone.
Yet surely I don't have a solid figure to justify it, that's Bandai's business.
I wonder what you mean by "die of natural causes", do you mean it ran out of its lifespan... which I'd object, as there're still many available MSV model that would sell from okay to fine, considering something like Desert Zaku, Zaku Cannon and GM Cannon.... Or make a "GM Sniper ver. Ka".
No matter what, there's no MSV line release for over a year since the MG PG & PZ pair. If you don't like calling it "killed", well as long as Bandai makes Gundams they can always makes MSV, so fine, "halted".
