We haven't seen any previews of these, have we? I have to re-watch the Akibaranger Season 1, Episode 2 and dig through some Tamashii exhibits threads, but I don't think Bandai has shown them off.
I am hoping they use a body with independent an upper bicep swivel, some of the recent ones just use a double ball-socket at the shoulder to achieve arm articulation don't really work for me. Since the Kyuranger suits don't have any stripes or patterns that would be interrupted by a cut for an upper bicep swivel, it shouldn't look out of place.
As for as accessories, at minimum Bandai should include:
- hands to pose them in all of their roll-call poses
- Gaburevolver
- Gabucaliber
- Gabucannon
- extra, armored right arm for "Armed On" mode
- individual weapon (shield, spike, blade, whatever etc) that can be combined
- a bunch of batteries and holders
First run bonus:
- stage that each ranger stands on while inside the mecha (like the Gokai Darins).
Would be nice but doubtful:
- translucent energy effects parts to simulate energy attacks/weapons firing
Releases:
Well, we'd all want all the rangers to be regular releases, but you know Bandai's gonna F- us. Best case scenario, we get Red, Black, and Green as regular releases, with Blue, Pink, and Torin as the quickest Tamashii Web Exclusives.
Maybe we get future Rangers (Cyan, Gold) and Deboss as full figures as Tamashii web exclusives, plus some Figuarts Zeros of the bad guys.
Any power ups (Red Carnival) for Red will probably be regular releases, with other colors being web exclusives. Bummer.
Maybe Bandai will surprise us and do two-packs of Green/Black and Blue/Pink as regular release?
It's not that Bandai is "F-ing" us, it's because Figuarts aren't purchased as far and wide as the other toy lines are. Usually, non exclusives are the fan-favorites/sixths and from there, they release the remainders in limited quantities so they don't shelfwarm. Figuarts are expensive to make, and I'm very certain Bandai doesn't want money just sitting there, on a shelf and that money not able to be returned to them.

Wizard Flame Style should have been out back in Sept while KyoryuRed should have been out no later than a month ago.
It's a testing bed to see how well the show does before they break out the "big guns." Look at Gosei Knight. Prime example. Everyone loved him, but the majority of the viewers (those that matter, ie: those that would buy Figuarts, not children or their parents) wasn't exactly too keen on the rest of the team. Even here, I see people who enjoy Goseiger generally think that Gosei Knight is their favorite of all of them, even if they did find Goseiger enjoyable.
Why put out a toy if it's going to warm a shelf? See above.

Oh, and here's the BIG THING that you missed, since Figuarts are a line SOLELY aimed at collectors, it DOESN'T matter when they come out. Parents aren't buying Figuarts for their kids, they're buying the "budget lines" like WAP! or the Sentai Vinyl Heroes for them; hence why those lines start very close to when the show starts.
But of course, you skipped over that little detail so you could once again show off just how dumb and ignorant you are.
You're absolutely correct, but your tone is horrible. You could have said the same thing without coming across as insulting.
Also, I'd like to point out that "dumb" (being stupid) and "ignorant" (a lack of knowledge) are not the same things in any light. In this case, ignorance is what you're looking for, and not stupidity. Ignorance should never be used in a negative tone either, because ignorance is just not knowing. So to sum it up, you're ignorance on ignorance is appalling, and I think it's "stupid" to insult someone over the internet for simple lack of just not knowing.
