Pretty simple.
Based on how fast pre-orders sell out, how fast the cost of items rise after they've been released and sold out, what do you think the Top 10 Hottest Tokusatsu toys are right now? We'll compile a list and throw it together on the frontpage with enough participation. Just looking at some of the stuff I've seen... - SH Figuarts Den-O Sword Form - SH Figuarts Gokai Yellow - SH Figuarts Gokai Pink GokaiPink and GokaiYellow (mostly because I still need Pink) seem to have their after-market prices continuing to rise, with GokaiYellow netting nearly $200 in some instances while Pink is still in the $130 range. They were both released between $90-$100. |

From what I've seen, Shinken Yellow and Pink go for a pretty high amount these days too.
Not sure how much Figuarts CycloneJoker goes for, but he seems in constant demand.

Any W stuff it seems, especially Skull. I think Decade's stock will rise after this movie as well.

Pretty much every new Figuart sells out on preorders within hours (or minutes at amiami). It's kind of hard to say which ones are the most popular.

I'd be remiss if I didn't bring up Ultra-Act Zoffy. Most of you don't give a crap about Ultraman, but Zoffy is an important minor character from the original series and made many subsequent cameos, as the captain of the Ultra Garrison.
And his Ultra-Act release not only pre-sold out, it sold out within the day of release and already commands obscene secondary market prices. There was a random restock of Zoffy last week on AmiAmi and because of the demand, AmiAmi offered no discout, just full retail of 3180 yen. Zoffy sold out in hours regardless. You tell me a current Figuarts release that has done anything close to that.

I was wrong.
GokaiPink SH Figuart has jumped up to $200-$250 on almost all Ebay searches. |

I don't think it's fair to include any of the upcoming releases, since they all tend to sell out very quickly, it's impossible to tell which are going to be super sought after. Den-o is a hot pre-order at the moment, but Stronger is out at the same time and he's sold out too. I think we need to wait a bit to see where the demand goes.
Gokai Yellow and Pink are definitely hot though. I think that's because the rest of the team were regular releases and so easy to obtain, so people suddenly realised they may as well buy the two girls to complete the set. I've never seen prices on exclusives rise so high so quickly. Double is up there too (and I know from recently trying to get a hold of one). His prices are higher than Decade's, despite being a newer release and the fact he's the star of a new movie. Double also disappears from auctions very fast whenever one does show up. Decade seems to be everywhere now, but I get the feeling this is because of people trying to sell them off for inflated prices before he gets re-released in August. I still think he'll be popular though. |
