It be cool to see Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, or ACDC singers that I heard of and listen to their music get figuart treatment not someone I don't know nothing about and never heard of.

Also in a way with Bandai going into many other toy lines I do feel that some of them take away from Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. Ex Marvel figuarts those release could been for other figuarts like Sentai or Rider but they were release instead.

Let me reiterate: Freddy Mercury, and by extension the band he fronted for, Queen, is one of the best-known acts in the entire world, even 20 years after his death. Just because YOU have not heard of him does not mean he is not a cultural icon in several countries and subcultures.

And again, you completely misunderstand how this works. This in no way affects how Bandai releases items from Kamen Rider and Sentai. They already plan those slots months in advance and pace them in such a way as to minimize shelves being clogged. Granted this does not always work, but then again, supply does not always equal demand and vice versa. And this is why Sentai releases are so few and far between right now: They just do not sell as well as a lot of people hope they would. Marvel is a hot property right now, and so it stands to reason, with Hasbro dominating sales over here and not giving two craps about elsewhere, Bandai is going to jump on it with their own line of high-quality collectible figures.
