I kinda wish they'd make more (W's Masquerades and Build's guardians immediately come to mind), but part of why I went for the old Shocker grunts is because they were so cheap. I really didn't wanna be spending much on them and so I wouldn't get any new ones since they'd probably be about 5000 yen per figure

Some fascinating tidbits on the Sentai Figuarts from members of Bandai:
Terano: Since I was originally in the Collector's Division, I was able to experience the process of suspending the development of the squadron series at SHFiguarts (laughs). There were circumstances such as "difficult to expand overseas" and "the squadron wants to line up not only Red but also other members". If it is a Kamen Rider, it is possible to commercialize only the leading rider, but the Super Sentai is not limited to Red. What's more, when the design changes due to power-ups, most parts need to be remade, unlike suits for shooting. Then, the development hurdle became high, and the commercialization of SHFiguarts went away. There was interest to revive the line as far back as Ryusoulger and Kiramaiger, but the developer realized Zenkaizer could encapsulate the whole team Another member confirms they did consider adding the fan, but it could not be worked out in the final development schedule. The response of Zenkaiser and Momo has been great enough that they are considering doing other non-red releases Source: https://hobby.dengeki.com/reviews/1555730/

Sounds promising. Zenkaiser and Don Momotaro both have the advantage that they work on their own, Kaito is the only "Ranger" on his team and Taro has "companions", the Donbrothers do not operate solely as a group.
I hope they decide to give the "other team member"-idea a spin soon, like Oni Sister-soon. |

They should give it whirl with Onisister
however, they should also pack it in with Inubro. |

Given they wanted to start during Ryusoulger and Kiramager and both releases so far have been hugely successful; I'd say that's a VERY good sign they'll do Ryusoul Red and Kiramei Red

Ryusoulger and Kirameiranger would be good teams to do imo. If they were really trying to commercialize Sentai figuarts and expand in to markets outside of Japan such as North America then I strongly felt they should of catered to more 90s Sentai teams that had an American counterpart.
They should of kept capitalizing on that nostalgia success they gained from doing Zyuranger and importing them under the Power Rangers brand. It seemed though they were still more focused on teams they feel fans in Japan would prefer than in other countries |

I'd definitely prefer they do series that don't have figures than Zyuranger for the 1000th time, personally

The wording is interesting and also suddenly makes the Gokai Red remake make a lot more sense as well. Zenkaizer, DonMomo and Gokai Red are all leaders who can also utilize the powers of other reds or sometimes full teams, which meets the medium of wanting to provide whole teams but knowing the reds tend to be the only profitable sell.
