From the beginning of the blog :

" Normally, this series consisted of seven types in total, but like all other candy toys, it has been greatly affected by the recent rise in costs and the acceleration of the depreciation of the yen. Despite the headwinds, we made the difficult decision to reduce the number of lineups in each release in order to somehow continue the series.

We apologize to everyone for the fact that the number of characters that can be made into three-dimensional characters at one time will be reduced, but due to this , the ratio of characters whose production volume has been reduced due to the assortment ratio will increase compared to each bullet, etc. "

Take our money Bandai-san.

Damn, only five figures plus a weapons set? That means a case will have four dupes. They could've at least done Ryugen or some other Gaim Rider. It's really hard to justify getting them by the case nowadays, I think I'll just wait to pick them up individually off Mandarake.

Huh, come to think of it the roster is relatively short compared to previous releases by one or two characters.

The last three waves were six, so dropping down to five so soon really stings. I liked the convenience of buying these by the case, but I'll basically be getting a full set of dupes minus one for the slot for accessories.

Reminds me of Motion Revive back in the day reducing its unique figures.

From the start of the blog revealing this wave. Basically, it was either reduce the number of boxes per wave or cancel the line. It's a shame that there's less per wave, but the line is continuing at least.

It's unfortunate, but I can understand.

just check amiami jp and still 10 per box so maybe one will be a triple due to this new ratio
I expect something like Hasbro did lol e.g marvel legends, a case decreased from 8 to 6


ah right thank you

Honestly if they shrunk the case as well I'd be fine. It's the fact that it's the same price for more dupes that bothers me. If it was the same cost-per-figure breakdown but at a lower overall price I'd accept the reduction of unique moulds.

Though this wave is especially egregious because Amazing Mighty is basically just a redeco with a new leg, so it's really only about four unique moulds.
