It means that it's pending licensing approval

Jeez, looking back at the history of Figuarts, there are so many Sentai Figuarts we still have to be released, despite having seen them already made. I'm really disappointed how much the ball has been dropped lately.

Gedou Shinken Red
Akaranger
Baseball Mask
Rio
Mele
Bouken Yellow
Bouken Pink
Bouken Silver
White Swan
Blue Swallow
Yellow Owl

That's not even including the bit redundant and unnessecary Super Shinken Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink and Gold, SWAT Dekaranger and a couple of Akibaranger Season One characters. Are we ever going to get these guys? Have Figuarts ever completely abandoned so many figures before. The Jetman, Akaranger and at least Bouken Yellow and Pink especially need to be released.

You missed out the five SWAT mode Dekas, and every other Shinkenger in super mode too :lol

EDIT: How are the SWAT Dekas and Malshina "redundant" but Gedou Shinken Red worthy of a release? :eyebrow

Oh ok. No wonder. Still, the usual avenues I stalk didn't even show them. At best, I thought IA would have them. And again, the usual Toku shops I'm not used to, so guess I'll miss out.

Yeah, I'm just trying to army build. Wanted some henchmen to fight my various heros. Was going to make them Zedds stand-in Putties.

Agreed. Kamen Rider is themed around a set number of individual characters. Super Sentai centers on teams of 5 or more, not to mention the mechas et al.

I meant the SWAT and Supers are and that I hadn't counted the Akibaranger ones, just worded it extremely awfully. I'd kill for Malshina, especially in her Season Two "Ranger" form, even though it hasn't ever been shown. I dunno, I just think that there's better time spent making new characters then revisiting ones from old seasons like the SWAT Dekarangers and a full team of Super Shinkengers, Gedou only gets a pass to me personally because we have so few "villain" characters, although its definitely on the bottom of my priority list and if we do get more villains, I'd prefer non-Shinkenger ones considering Fuwa Juuzo has that covered already. New characters first, then start doing upgraded/Super modes, especially because I doubt they'd ever finish a full team of Supers.

My prayers are for all the revealed ones (minus the "anime" Akibarangers, as I have no personal interest in them) to be released, then give us the Goseigers to go with Gosei Knight and then the Dairangers, then at least the core three Gekiranger to go with Rio and Mele and then start with some new past seasons, especially Magiranger. I'm getting really worried for the Sentai side of Figuarts.

Gotta support this. Though I'd admit I'm all for finishing what they showed. I want those Swat modes, as aside from the Super Shinkengers, it'll be the first super mode for a full team of Rangers. And they don't have to worry about a sixth Ranger super mode for the few teams that have it (MagiLegends, DekaSwat, Gekiranger, Shinkenger, Gingaman). And we do need more villains. Some new stuff would be great, and if they want to do something special as a trial, do Lord Zedd & Titanium Ranger. At the very least, we should get Bandora/Rita.

There was a time I'd have wanted Gedou Shinken Red, but I'm assuming Super/Hyper bombed so that ship (along with the other Super Shinkengers) has long since sailed. The SWAT modes are much worthy of a release, but I'm in agreement that they should get priority over any different characters that have actually been prototyped already. Hell I'm not Boukenger fan by any stretch of the imagination, but they really should get those last three out so they can be done with them. Same goes for the remaining Jetman, who I'd snap up in a heartbeat.

I guess the villain thing is probably holding Rio/Mele back somewhat, but it's crazy that Akaranger hasn't come out after all this time.

Oh well, it could be worse. They aren't quite in Master Asia's position yet :lol

Just an update: Gokaigers are affordable on Amazon. Gokai Green is $45 shipped! For local shoppers, get while the gettins good!

All I want is for Bandai to release the rest of the Kyoryugers. What I want are:

Kyoryu Violet 2 Pack - Male and Female
Kyoryu Cyan 2 Pack - Spirit Male and Living Female
Kyoryu Grey 2 Pack - Spirit Male and Living Male
Deathryuger 2-Pack - Deathryuger and Kyoryu Navy
Kyoryu Silver

Knowing Bandai's track record with previous Sentai teams, I'm real worried about completing the Kyoryugers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll see more announcements once the 100 Years Later special is released.

You guys mentioned Gedou Shinken Red, which made me think- It was just Super with a black instead of white cloak right? Super goes for about $20 lately... I just found me a project :D

Well, the gloves are black with gold trim rather than white with black. So you'd need to paint all the hands as well :lol

...Dont it for me... I need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby, ironically, the paint and brushes would cost more than SHinkenRed would :lol

I think we will likely see the rest of the Kyoryugers since we have the 100 Years special coming out soon. I'm hoping Kyoryu Red's Carnival form will get made into a figuart.

Right now I'm deciding on what Figuart to get next, I'm more than likely gonna try to get all of the Agito forms from Plamoya.com as they are all available there, I'm probably gonna get either Ground, Burning, or Shining Form first then try to see if my grandpa can order the rest of them for me from Plamoya.com for Christmas, I'm more than likely gonna have to get them ordered at least 2/3 weeks before the first week of December cause of Plamoya being in Japan & all.

I just wish I could get Ian without Amy! Sold out on NY now as well any way :(

Oh well, at least I have Utchy, Souji and Nossan on their way to me. I'll combine them with my MMPR Rangers to make some kind of perfect hybrid team.

I guess I just don't understand what the point of owning 4 out of the 5 core members of a sentai is :confused:

If you already have the other 3, and you want Ian, but he's only in a 2-pack then is it so bad to be "stuck" with Amy? Maybe it's the OCD in me speaking but I literally can't fathom owning most of a team when I could easily complete it. I even want to complete the Shinkengers some day and I detested every one of them.

Because I want to own representations of my favourite characters, not just buying figures for the sake of filling gaps. I'd buy a whole team if they were my favourite team - like if Goseiger get a release, I will own them ALL. But I don't care nearly enough for Kyoryuger as a show, or Amy enough as a character to put down like thirty quid on a set that is only there for complesionists sake.

Nossan and Utchy were genuinely great characters, who I am happy to own, and Souji was pretty cool in the fight scenes so I don't mind him tacked in there as well.

Quick Nippon-Yasan question. If I pre-order a few figures at once, will they take that as shipping them all at once when they're all released or will they still ship them as they come out?

Like if I pre-ordered Shin, Gridon and Tiger Ranger all in the same order will they still be shipped one at a time?

Yeah. So I wouldn't advise buying figures in the same order if they are like a year apart :lol

Heh, just making sure since I took a look at my order history and remembered that they show the combined price, so I needed to know.

Glad I don't have to cancel and do each order individually.

Oh shit I totally misread what you meant SORRY.

They WILL all come together as one package, as you ordered them all at the same time.

From my experience, for multiple figures in a single order, the total amount will be due before the first figure is released and the entire order will not ship until the last one is released.

AH okay, I should cancel and order individually then. Is cancelling an order easy?

It's usually just a matter of emailing them. I'd let them know you're going to reorder individually in the message, too, so they don't count it against you. I don't know what they consider too many cancellations, but it doesn't hurt to play it safe, methinks.

I sent a support ticket explaining the situation and asking if I could either have the order cancelled so I could re-order or if there was a way to have my orders split up. Though I'm sure the former would be easier for them. Hopefully things will work out.

I'm just glad I caught this now and not like May when Shin is supposed to be released.

Oh man I forgot about Shin, reckon they'd let me tack him onto my other order so I can just get all of my figures together? Or do you think it'd be best avoid that for fear of getting like a thirty quid customs charge on top of a 150 quid order :lol

Yeah, I tried to get an order split. If they do you like they did me, they'll tell you to just cancel and reorder. Good luck, though. Maybe they've updated their policies since then.

Actually might just order Shin with Monster Arts Predator and Alien (can we talk about that in here?) what it costs me more in shipping, it might save more more in not trying to get seven figures through customs at the same time :lol

Sadly, I had to pass on Shin. May and June are already ugly with preorders and something had to go. I'm hoping he'll be more or less reasonable on Mandarake somewhere down the line.

I highly doubt he'll be in high demand :lol

I assume we're talking about Shin Kamen Rider and not Zangetsu Shin :lol

Mmmmnnn...It could depend.

Yeah his movie wasn't exactly well-received, but he is considered a main Showa rider. I can see him being snapped up quick by people wanting to keep filling out the main rider roster.

For my own selfish sake, I hope that's the case. :D

Ah, yes, we are indeed. Though I wonder how long before some Gaim characters' upgrade forms get SHF announcements.

I can't wait to get him. I'm curious about that as well. Though to be fair I'm more curious of how they'll be released. I could honestly see some getting the exclusive treatment.

Oh I like Shin, but I'm just saying that considering he's coming out around the same time as beloved characters from beloved series, I doubt he's particularly high on anyone's list right now, especially for people like me who can't really afford spending like two hundred pounds on ten figures.

well I think, even though a lot didn't like his movie, shin is a great design, fought in a cool way, and if not for those reasons than people will get him to complete there showa display. I loved the movie and shin for what it was, and will display him with the eventual release of j an zo. one last thing, the organic looking riders are always cool looking. its a dang shame there is no hibiki and an amazon reissue with jungler yet.

Also, I think they still do the pay upfront thing with pre-orders as that policy was still there when I pre-ordered Ryu-Ranger from them last May.

They let either pay as soon as you place the order or pay later on. You can basically pay whenever you want after placing the pre-order.
