2 ?'s about trading figures.

Why did they put Hero I, Hero II, etc, instead of their official names?

Is there going to be a vol. 2?

thanks in advance.

On one of the sites that sells the figurines, they said "this set", meaning there could be more sets. They might not release other characters from the old games (like Gremio, Nanami, Jowy, etc.), but they would probably release a Kyril figurine and another one for Suikoden V's Tenkai. The names "Hero I, II, and IV" were used because they have no official names. The names Tir, Riou, and Lazlo were only used in the novels for ease; they are by no means official.

Because there are no official names for these Heroes. Konami might have allowed those heroes to be named in the novels, but they sure do not make an effort to acknowledge those names in other merchandises or publications.
