The Idea behind these is that they are much larger figures than the budget figures like in the Toylines. They would include highly articulate Super Sentai Mecha (like how the Buildable Ones with Sticker Details and Candy), Neo Heisei Riders with the ability to make extremely accurate Henshin Sequences (like Build figures with the ability to swap the Fullbottles around to make an accurate Form Changing Gimmick), and other examples like that. It would be pretty sweet to see Wonder Combo Swapping of Saber (with the ability to swap the Wonder Ride Books in the Belt) and the RiderArmor Swapping of Zi-O (with a Transforming DoubleArmor), etc. And also, larger, more articulated versions of the Super Sentai mecha would work well. And for certain toys (like the Kiramager Mecha), they could include lights and sounds. These figures would be designed more for adult collectors than for young kids. It would make them a lot of money as adult collectors interested in Tokusatsu would buy them if they didn't want to buy the budget figure would buy them. It would show that Tokusatsu isn't just for children, similar to Transformers. Essentially, it's Tokusatsu toys for an adult audience. Would you buy them?

I've heard that Flame Toys is seeking to do Tokusatsu stuff (though mostly limited to the Power Rangers brand).

I'm in love with the idea. For Rider figures, they could have lights on the Drivers and helmets. For a mecha like PatKaiser, the Sirens on the Trigger Machines could all have LEDs with the Wheels having a similar thing.

RAH Genesis is basically the first thing, fancy figures with lights in their helmets and belts that have cloth as well.

Tamashii showed a prototype of a figure like that back in 2017, a larger scale Den-O with a transformation and light gimmick. The project never went anywhere.

Well Bandai did make all the MMPR megazords in the Soul of Chogokin line, which I would say are comparable to TF Masterpiece. I wonder if they just made MMPR/Zyuranger to sell to America, because they never touched any season afterwards

I kinda think Seihou SHFs are already that for Rider? Especially when it comes to OOO and Den-O's form change gimmicks. I'm not really sure where else you'd go from there.

Better sentai mechs would be a nice stepping stone.

This is true. Many would argue Soul of Chogokin is superior to Transformers Masterpiece. And probably Metal Build are better than both?

I wouldn't really call SOC superior to MP. Their high prices for adequate stability and lacking combinations really makes it feel like they're charging a bit much for engineering that isn't really there.
I think the first SOC that really blew me away was Dairugger XV/Vehicle Voltron.
