Would it matter that the scale is different? I don't really understand how licensing works in Japan, but it seems different than America.
Speaking of new licenses, I wonder if Bandai will announce anything new for Figuarts. |

I'd love to see a new Figuarts branch focused entirely on villains, I know they don't sell as well or whatever but if they're a sub part of Figuarts and have a smaller budget, so less releases but then they don't get in the way too much with the main Figuarts line, but still gave out a steady feed of iconic villains that'd be awesome.

I'm hoping for an Shf Spider-Man of some kind. Be it Toei's version or Amazing. With the Iron Man that came out I can't say it's out of the realm of possibility.

That's not quite how it works though. Figuarts itself is a brand and Bandai has offshoot lines like SRC, D-Arts, and Ultra-Act. They don't do sublines with their lines really. What you're suggesting is actually the exact the idea behind Tamashii Web Exclusives. Smaller production runs, offered to more limited audiences, because the wider market wouldn't support a full production run of a particular figure. The higher cost of producing a small run will be there no matter what for villains because they simply don't sell in the same kinds of numbers that heroes do in Japan. And if the home market for them doesn't buy them then there's no real incentive to make them more readily available outside that market. Hence why alot of villains and even other figures like older riders and obscure forms that wouldn't sell well to a mass market wind up as TWE's.
I knew that there'll probably never be a villain focused line, and that I'll probably end up owning very few villains, but a boy can dream.

I don't care how they do it, I just want them to start giving us more villains, especially for Sentai. Give me Junya/Gashu Skull, Jin, Shadam, Grifferzor, Rio, Mele, Bandora, Dr Kempu, Dr Bias, Zylpheeza, Salamandes, Grey, Radiguet, Zeonette, Yugande, Captain Zahab, Shelinda, etc.

This event is intended to cover all products that are under the Tamashii Nations banner. Figuarts, MonsterArts, Chogokin, Ultra-Act and so on. What's special about this year is that it's the fifth anniversary of S.H. Figuarts and so the event has a big focus on them right now and what they'll be doing with the line and its new base body. There will still be other products, stuff that's not Kamen Rider or even tokusatsu, but we haven't seen them yet. We've also only seen pictures from the preview night, not the event proper.
