Bandai's "Super Sentai Spirit for Adults" page closing
 

Looks like S.H.Figuarts fan services is coming to an end.

Seriously? Oh Man :(

They could at least finish the Teams they started.

Wait, what?

I got the impression from that that they were just moving any Sentai Figuart related news over to the new blog, not that they're stopping making Sentai Figuarts...

I really hope so. My japanese isnt good enough yet to understand most of it so I´m only relying on what drillbit said in his first post :lol

I just went with google translate and guessed from there :lol

There is is just no damn way they've discontinued Sentai figuarts entirely. I just can't see that happening at all.

If so then it's the most massively disappointing thing I've ever heard.

Bluefin said Goranger figuarts was in talks in Japan a while back. I guess those plans are gone now. I guess MMPR/Zyuranger yellow will be our last Sentai figuart.

They better not end Kamen Rider. We still need Gaim and I need Femme!

I pray they arent stoppin makin SHF Sentai figures. I am making it my mission to get all of the ones already made, because I would love to have a ton of them. But I really dont see them stopping it. They are gonna run out of Riders eventually and need something else wont they?

Kamen Rider is far too viable for them. They wouldnt discontinue the line as long as its so unbelievably popular.

Oh, Thank God! Like I said, I NEED Femme.

We all know by the time that happens they are going to start making more and more renewals :lol

But I really hope they dont cancel the line. I need my Magiranger Figuarts. Goranger and the rest of Boukenger and Jetman are also figures I really wanna own :(

Having finaly bought a Bouken Red and the two Jetman already released, I agree, we need them, along with the sixths for the teams that should have them.

Jetman is my all time favorite Sentai so thats why I need those figures. In regards to Boukenger I have my Bouken Red on the way so I pretty much own half the team already :lol

They won't since Kamen Rider is the best selling figuarts line. I guess we might see some Sentai/PR stuff in the SRC line since Bluefin said that they plan to do more MMPR figures in the other Tamashii figure lines. I think we might see a SRC figures of Dragon Caesar/Dragon Zord, Thunder Megazord/Dairen'oh and Kakure Daishogun/Ninja Megazord.

Whoopee :(

I'd like to buy more than just MMPR/Zyuranger nostalgia related items. I want to complete sentai teams, doesn't really seem like that's gonna happen any time soon if this cancellation means what it could.

Right. Not only is Kamen Rider the franchise that launched SH Figuarts, it's also one that has a large base of adult fans who are interested in and capable of paying for high end action figures. Sentai doesn't have that kind of fanbase - not on nearly the same scale, at least. It's the kid's show and there just isn't the same demand for action figures from it. I'm pretty sure the domestic sales of the Sentai Figuarts have been really underwhelming.

I would like more post-Zyuranger/MMPR stuff as well since I'm stick of MMPR nostalgia and we have been dealing with MMPR nostalgia since 2010. It seems like in the US, the post-MMPR teams are nowhere as popular. Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Dino Thunder and RPM have their good share of fans, but Bluefin and Bandai Japan may feel like that they won't sell well enough.

Trying not to get paranoid, but this is really crap. Although considering we haven't had a new announcement since Kyoryu Gold, who's already released, its not really surprising.

You'd think with the constant, constant, constant reveals of Kamen Rider it wouldn't be too much to have a Sentai Figuart now and then. If this is the end of the Figuarts line for Sentai I'll be very, very upset. Could've at least released the rest of the Jetman and Boukenger. Come on.

Id at least love to get all the reds. Even if they started being Web Exclusives, Id still want to get them. Release at least one Red every few months, if he sells good, try to do the rest of the team, if not, they should still release them...

I hope this is not true. They need to at least finish the teams they started.

I see people on the Sentai & Kamen Rider collecting group on FB saying that they are just moving sentai figuart news to the figuart blog, not that they are ending the line. I want to know the full story before everyone starts to melt down.

I think this is more probable. If they really plan to cancel the line, I think the news would be longer than one sentence.

Well it is unfortunate and well at least you can now make tons of money off EBay. Though the only team I would get is the Gokaigers, and two of Silver and Red, for Gokai Silver Red.

Don't you guys think you should wait until we get a clear translation before assuming the worst here...?

Nah.

Like how they consolidated D-Arts into Figuarts. Maybe it's just easier and cheaper for them to this way.




Of course not. This is the internet after all.

The page has been inactive for ages anyway, the site is only really relevant for Akibaranger and akibaranger tie-in figuarts. Im sure if a third season happens (or if Sentai figuarts actually sell and not clog up bargain bin sales ;P) the site will get reopened.

This is the story so far: http://www.rangerboard.com/showpost....postcount=4237

Which is exactly what I said at the beginning of the thread.

I am not afraid that they would end the line. At the very least, they will continue to release the reds which is cool, because that is the ranger I always buy.

They're not ending the line. If they did, they would have said so.

Nope also, no offense to drillbit, but he should've translated or checked Rangerboard for a news article before sending most of the members here into panic mode :lol.

I only said Figuarts fan services is done, not the product line itself.

"Otona no Sentai Tamashi" was a fan service website and newsletter. It used to cover products from Akibaranger, and advance announcement about new sentai figuarts. After Bandai has decided to take down the site's newsletter service the webpage was getting really slow in promoting new stuff. Now with the blog site completely taking over the job (which they always have) the "site for both adult fans and staff" has finally completed its job.

I don't think I am wrong by saying the services have come to an end.

Well, you kind of made a lot of the members think that the sentai figuarts were being removed, & not having the sentai figuarts announcements switched to the figuarts livedoor blog and as I said in my previous post before this one before I added what I pointed out I said NO OFFENSE TO DRILLBIT.

Alright that's enough. Time to stop pointing fingers at people.

Yes sir. But anyways, I am REALLY glad they aren't getting rid of the Sentai figuarts, I want me some dang Abaranger & GEKIRANGER figuarts, I will get them even if it injures me :lol :lolol.
