Him getting at least some form of toy is a testament to that, since I can’t even remember the last time any human from Kamen Rider got a toy, aside from chibi plushies or key chains. I still can’t forget the terrible Hana SHF but aside from that I don’t really remember anything. Quote:
After the Wizard SHF’s they toned it down with the Kaijins, yes Lord Baron got a toy but he’s one of if not the most popular character from Gaim. But even that took two years and he’s not being sold at retail. Heart got a toy during Drive’s runtime which surprised me, however he was a major character in the show at the time, and continued to be one throughout the entire runtime, and the design of the Roidmudes was done by the SIC-guy, so I would speculate that they were testing the waters with the Heart SHF. And while they have shown a prototype of Brain he hasn’t been slated for release yet. Bottom line: Kaijins are a financial risk and I believe the only criteria that could push Tamashii to release more is if the character attached to the design is immensely popular. And with Ghost I don’t really see any character meeting that criteria, Javel has next to no screentime anymore and Adel isn’t really that often in Ganma from either. Maybe if Javel becomes a major player in the endgame, but I doubt it. However I never expected the Heart SHF either, so maybe it can happen. I’m just saying I don’t think it will. |

That's the case, yes. Sadly. Onari especially is really popular from what I’ve heard, I think Suzu wrote a comment about how the crowd from the live shows always goes nuts when Onari goes on stage.

I still can’t forget the terrible Hana SHF but aside from that I don’t really remember anything. Unlikely, Kaijin are a huge financial risk especially after every past SHF Kaijin has done horribly at retail. All of the Dopants, Greeeds, Zodiarts and Phantoms sold horribly bad. You can still find those sealed for cheap, even after all these years.

Correct yourself there buddy, the set does contain metallic versions of Kuuga-Decade. But rather than 45 Eyecons, it comes with 45 Eyecon stands, for ore, specter, the 15 heroes, the rider Eyecons, Columbus, nightingale and the 2 versions of the 45 Eyecon that is being released in an upcoming Gashapon set.

Hmm...we have some ureleased Eyecons: - Shinsengumi - Tenka Toitsu - Showa Rider - Ganbarizing - Ore Specter - Da Vinci (Rider version) Anyway....Dark Rider Ghost Eyecon sound will be used for Dark Ghost Ghost Eyecon transformation jingels. It seems they create 45 Eyecons for 45th anniversary... Last edited by Blade Fang; 05-12-2016 at 04:38 AM.. |

The fact that Alain's Eyecon doesn't have anything besides the eye is kind of diappointing. When the picture first went up on the site I thought they weren't showing it because it would be a spoiler and we would see it later, though to be fair I guess I should have seen it coming when it was destroyed...oh well.
Regardless, really not a lot to these at all. Can't even fit in the Mega Ulorder. Kind of a rip. |
