Its always singular. There's no way they'd sell a two pack that low right away.

...and they still didn't correct the color of Brave's collar. It's like they're not even paying attention. They figured out that there's a sharp color break at the shoulder for Ex-Aid and Snipe, but not Brave? Fft.
I fear this pack - that problem aside - will kill Ex-Aid Figuarts stone dead, convincing Bandai there's no demand. I fear the low cost-to-produce won't even matter. I just can't see there being that much demand for these given that they just released the extremely-similar Brave and Snipe twice, and these forms still come with some of the downsides of the LVUR figures. I hope I'm being overly pessimistic, and that these will sell terrifically well. I really, really want Dangerous Zombie Genm and the rest of the other humanoid Riders.

Well it's easier for bandai to just retool the existing moulds for these figures than design an entirely new one for Genm

Which is why I expected at least Level 2

I hope I'm being overly pessimistic, and that these will sell terrifically well. Did it stop them from making more? Nope. As long as the overall line does well enough, the show itself is popular and they have characters and/or suits they know will do good they keep going. Maybe it will take a while like it did with Drive to get key-characters but I'm rather optimistic when it comes to Ex-Aid's future in the Figuarts line. |

I don't see that affecting Ex-Aid in any major way (if it even happens) considering the weaker form changes are behind us now, it's mostly new Riders and super forms from now on.

Hopefully they'll get to the lvl 3s eventually, and I reeeeaaaally hope the Ex Aid figuarts sell well enough for us to get Maximum Gamer Lvl 99. But there is some warranty in being worried about the lines future if these sell very poorly...could end up going the way of ghost figuarts and abruptly stop before all important forms are made (rip mugen damashii and sin specter). Alternatively, ex aid figuarts could sell like proverbial hot cakes and continue multiple years after the show's conclusion, like Drive did.
