It absolutely sucks honestly. Exclusives used to be reserved for stuff like Movie riders/forms and minor miscellaneous forms (agito storm, w heatjoker etc) but now they just take the piss. Do SHF Kamen Riders just not sell as well anymore? I admit I sometimes wonder when I see stuff like Seihou Accel refusing to sell for a bit...
It's just that people won’t go all-in anymore which isn't surprising considering how much these things cost nowadays, so they play it safe by only releasing main and sometimes secondary Riders at retail. Also, Tamashii has way more licenses nowadays than back then, which means they need more retail space for other things. Quote:
That was it, yes. They specifically mentioned Prime Rogue by name and that it was decided to sell him. When and if that still happens remains to be seen though. |

Nah, things like Kiva, OOO and Den-O sold out within seconds.

Which is probably why most Seihou secondary Riders are Web-Exclusives nowadays no matter how well the main Rider performed sales-wise. That was it, yes.

Hopefully, Thouser's retail so I can catch up a bit even if I did buy Prime Rogue. |

Back in the day OOO only had 7 show forms, 2 secondary riders and a scorpion to sell before you got to your misc forms and movie stuff and kaijin, but now Rider is intent on shoving as many toys at the audience as possible. The sheer excess would be impossible to keep up with even if SHF were better about this

That’s what I was getting at; obviously the main riders’ base forms vanish within seconds, but SHF riders as a whole beyond that don’t seem to get picked up as much. Vulcan’s currently sold out on HLJ, so maybe that’s not as true as before...

The sheer excess would be impossible to keep up with even if SHF were better about this Oh, how I would LOVE to get SHFs of Another Wizard, Kabuto, Den-O, and ZI-O. And Alien Evolt. I'm still kinda pissed that they didn't integrate some form of armor swap for Zero-One for the SHF and then have, say, Flying Falcon, Biting Shark, and Flaming Tiger as a P-Bandai armor set for 30-40$. Would've been neat. I still do kinda wish they did more than three retails for each rider season. Just have the primary, secondary, and tertiary rider, and then either the main rider's upgrade form or the fourth rider. That's what they did for Ex-Aid, Drive, and Gaim's lines. But with Jin, Horobi, and Valkyrie all having equal chances of being the third retail rider but aren't. We'll see. They've been generous already for Zero-One's weapons. Maybe they'll give us Shining Hopper and Thouser as retail. |

Another OOO is genuinely my ideal Kuroto Dan figuart. I can't tell you how much I'd adore that

Be patient. We will get some Zero-One reveals at the end of February when that cyber event-thingy is happening.
