Just putting this out there, I really hope the Saber Riders Figuart boxes look like Wonder Ride Books or something similar. Unlikely maybe but I can still hope.

So, ZenKaiser SHF... yay or nay?
I feel like if there had to be a perfect opportunity to give Sentai SHFs another shot to test the waters, this would be it. The suit is classic yet modern and fairly unique in the sense that it isn't repainted 4 times, which makes it easy for people to purchase the "Red" of the show with no worries concerning "completing" a team. Yes the 4 robots are part of it, but the way I see it they are not Rangers in the traditional sense. Plus, it's a big anniversary season which is sure to get people excited. The only downside I’m seeing is picking up a modern Sentai hero while so many others are missing, but they have to start again somewhere. |

I'm not sure if I've said it here before, but while I get why Sentai SHFs didn't sell well; I'm still surprised they don't at least make the Reds (and, uh, Kaisers?) and Sixths of the cocurrent season, I'm pretty certain they'd get their money back on those. So, yeah, they totally should do him! Only thing is I'd then be sad they didn't do this back on the 40th anniversary

I can see an SHF of ZenKaiser what with it being an anniversary season. It might even be a P-Bandai or limited release thing, because I still don't think SHFs are a good fit for the target audience of Sentai.
Strange to think that it took Akibaranger to get us some of the older Sentai SHFs!

They have a very small fan base even in japan and the line died off in 2015 and I would believe that (according to bandai) once a line is dead it stays dead. This holds true for others lines as well I don’t want to get hype only for nothing to happen. I believe like this back in 2015 when we got that rumor figuart list where Megared and cyber slider were coming and it was not. I learn back then not to hold my breath for a figuart that’s never gonna be made why because BANDAI says it does not sell. |

Kyoryu Red for anyone curious, although that might just be due to the character and not Reds in general. Quote:

Maybe you meant it the other way around, that Sentai is not a good fit for the target audience of SHF, because that would make sense. |

Part of me feels the team aspect is why the Sentai stuff didn't sell as well as they hoped it would.
Compared to Kamen Rider, Ultraman, etc, you have more options in terms of how you collect those sub-lines. For Sentai, it's usually either you're only in for the Reds and/or Sixths or you're in for the whole team. There's no wiggle room unless you happen to be a huge fan of a single color.

Like, for example; back in 2014, SHF TriceraRanger was 3780 Yen. 3780 Yen. And he was Premium Bandai. That's about half the price most SHF Riders on the site go for these days and he's got way more accessories; so if full teams of SHF Sentai were having a tough time selling back then, can you imagine how badly it'd go today when SHF prices are such that they'd at least be breaking 5000?

IMO I feel Sentai figuarts didn't sell aside from Gokaiger/Zyuranger/MMPR was because they avoided seasons that didn't have an American counterpart such as Megaranger amd Ohramger. Also like others have mentioned why didn't they do figuarts of cool designs like Dekamaster, Kingranger and many others. I understand their main audience was Japan but they could of capitalized on the MMPR sales by following up with with another popular American season

I feel as if Kamen Rider Mars and Kamuro has more chance of being made into Figuarts then them going back to Sentai Figuarts. At least there's YU-DO.
