I'm curious here. I noticed recently that Figuarts has a figure of Gosei Knight/Robo Knight of Goseiger/Megaforce fame thanks to my searches on Mandarake.
Why do just him and not the rest of the team in Figuarts I wonder... I wouldn't mind Goseiger Figuarts. I mean they did Shinkenger, Gokaiger, Go-Busters, and the Kyoryuger team is coming up.

I'm pretty sure it is because Sentai Figuarts were just starting up towards the end of Goseiger's run and since Shinkenger had superior ratings, and was ultimately, the superior show, they started with them and then moved right into Gokaiger since that was airing by then.

Shinken Red was only produced because it won a pole. And then the others were produced after the fact. Gosei Knight tested the market for Goseiger figuarts and while he sold well enough alot of the ones sold were of average quality. Some paint and plastic tolerance QC issues. The response wasn't quite what Bandai wanted which may be why the others haven't been made yet. But I'd say the influence of Megaforce and the US market could make them come in production more quickly.

That's a pretty biased point of view, and inaccurate. Goseiger had higher ratings than Shinkenger did anyway. In a couple of head to head episode battles Shinkenger was a couple points higher but the series average for Goseiger is a bit higher than Shinkenger. AND the toy sales were higher because it had an actual collectible gimmick with Headers. The discs from Shinkenger weren't really pushed the same way.

I know they had a poll at SDCC so it sounds like they're at least interested in seeing what fans might like.
