Funny you say that, because Hiro's editor didn't want there to be 12 Spriggans. He specifically requested 5 or 6, but Hiro demanded there be 12 because the number was significant to the plot. Well, the number 12 is working against him in more than one way, because right now, there still isn't any significance, and the plot is terrible.
