No,and I have a reason why.The deluxe sized classic Hot Rod for transformers cost 10 bucks at release,and we got a re-release in a more cartoon color scheme.The Protector armor is still going for hundreds of bucks.
My point being is how much do you think a third party item would go for a 30-50 dollar SH Figuart,let alone a popular one? |

That's the problem with third party companies though.They don't have huge manufacturing factories to make the supply they need,so it's usually a low supply.Look at Fansproject.One of the most popular third party companies for transformer fans and they still can't make enough supply.They usually sell out in a week,if that.

As far as sentai would go, I'd buy power up armors/pieces only.
Maybe also cockpit/control panel (whatever they're called) as well. Like Gokai Silver's Darin, Shinkenger's podium looking thing, Kyoryuger's base/platform, etc. |

If we're talking effects parts, then yes I'd be in on at least some. Outside of that, I'm not sure.

Third party "upgrade" sets for Figuarts, I would think, fall more in line with the price for weapons or parts upgrades for Transformers; still expensive depending on who you're looking at (CrazyDevy is way up there, others are more modestly priced) and what's offered. (I admit, though not directly on-topic...this has made me think of third party Sentai mechs.) |

Yeah, outside of effect parts Figuarts is a line that's so all encompassing as it is that I really don't see a need for after market add ons.

I would say No. Since the accessories in the s.h.figuarts up to now are mostly enough comparing to the shows, I dont think I would pay about may be 1/3 or even 1/2 price of the figure for just an item of that figure.
But if they are effects like explosion, beam or effect impact, I am interested to buy some. |

Others have mentioned effect sets, and i agree that would be cool, but i could easily also get behind battle damage sets. Helmets with pieces of visor missing, broken weapons etc. There are also few things that do seem like they're missing, Silver Crow could use a Gale Thruster for example.

I at least think it'd be cool to see unhelmeted Power Ranger/Sentai heads become a thing.
3rd Party people for Masters of the Universe Classics basically focus on alternate/new heads for figures as well as occasional new weapons. So I could see someone do something like that for Figuarts. Maybe make the heads realistic or like the Akibaranger heads shown on the thread earlier 'anime' style depending on what people would go for. If the upcoming Tricera Ranger/MMPR Blue Ranger does not have a long version of his lance, I could see someone do a longer version.
