These keys are made by Bandai Japan. And they up to this point had only ever made 5 metal hero keys at all, only of main heroes, and only those who appeared in Super Hero Taisen Z. This set is coming out 3 years later and finally completes most of the lead heroes save for the final 2 which are not included. It's a little early to moan that they aren't doing the female characters like Diana Lady or SWAT Sarah or B Fighter Tento, etc, when they've only just barely even begun to do all the main heroes.

Very nice to get more Metal Hero stuff.
I actually quite like that they keep making Ranger Keys. The decision is probably quite a good one financially but it is kind of nice as Ranger Keys were always a legacy item and having such a wide range of one collectable is cool. |

I'd just like Bandai to make Keys for every single hero in every single franchise. But that's probably asking for too much.

Kabutack & Robotack weren't really popular series when they came out back then and maybe that's why they were excluded in the set. I also read somewhere that the toy sales were extremely low for both series mainly due to bad manufacturing because Bandai started using cheap labor to make their toys. That's why most of them came out with defects such as non-functionality of the buttons, missing or non-working sounds, and even figures with inconsistent quality (i.e. missing accessories, poor articulation, etc.)
Meanwhile Robotack featured a magnet change system. Figures were made with core diecast parts and had magnetic flat surfaces embedded at the base of the limb joints, the arms and legs could then be swapped among them to create new combinations. Again, no real action features or electronics. I own every figure from both series, I bought them over a decade after they were released, and have never experienced the problems you're trying to say exist. I have a wealth of experience with both of those toylines. Bandai isn't excluding them because of these QC issues that you're inferring exist. Because they don't. I'm sure a few duds were around at the time, but Bandai isn't sweeping two whole franchise under the rug over some QC from 15+ years ago.

Everybody keeps saying that they're ignoring the last two Metal Heroes series...but there aren't any B-fighter keys in this set either. Does that mean keys from those shows exist already?

Did they announce a next set already? Or are you just speculating?
