I cannot think of a better example of this than their Sentai line, which was clearly influence by current series. The only divergence was with Zyuranger/MMPR, which in itself only happened because Akibaranger influenced it, and importing of Tyranno and Dragon was high, leading to a full team. But that's about as much effect it had. Bandai never put forth an effort in making something with PR in mind outside of that incident. No Megaranger for In Space, Timeranger for Time Force, Go-Onger for RPM. But we got Overdrive because Boken Red was in Akibaranger.(Not to mention characters never adapted, which probably killed the line, but I digress.) I'm sad that you had to remind me of the Sentai line being dead. I wish we got season 3 of Akibaranger. I know the line did not sell well but some teams did sell. I also had a lot of hope for that Megaranger figuart rumor from that list a while back. I just find it so unfair that Godzilla can get a webshop release even if it only 2 or 3 times a year. While the Sentai line gets nothing release at all. |

Yeah I agree about people wanting the full team before buying any. However, some of those people don't even support the line like preorders it when it opens. |

Fans want full Sentai teams, Bandai needs good sales to release more Sentai Figuarts, but fans wait until the team is completed before they start buying. I didn't mean 22 fans I should've hyphenated it to make it more clear. My bad~ And the problem with Sentai is that there's a lot more than Riders. It's hard for fans to fund one team when there's no guarantee the team they actually want to buy will even get made. It's hard to put your money where your mouth is when the franchise with 40 entries barely has, what, 7 completed teams total?

No, I said catch 22. It's basically a contradictory logic loop.

Yeah I think it only 7 teams that are complete or just missing one member. I feel that Bandai should just do the popular teams only. Like finish the rest of Kyoryugers or Megaranger or Deka. I still have just some bit of hope that the Sentai line is on hold for now because of other figuarts line they are doing. Maybe one day they will go back to them and release more. |

Oh how silly of me to think that lol. Yep it all about the sales with the Sentai Figuarts. The last Sentai team that was finish was the Sun Vulcan team. Sales were good for Vul Eagle and to last 2 members were release. I believe the team sold well enough because it was a showa era team.

Pretty much. Most MonsterArts don't sell well and they just collect dust on shelves. They got a sales boost in 2014 thanks to the new American film. Since then, they started to go back as they where a few years earlier. If Shin Goji does well, we could see more demand in more SHMA Godzilla figures outside Godzilla himself.

As for Kiva he will be the last rider that will get made from the figuarts renewal line . That's what I meant about being the last rider. |
