It's just that people won’t go all-in anymore which isn't surprising considering how much these things cost nowadays, so they play it safe by only releasing main and sometimes secondary Riders at retail.

Also, Tamashii has way more licenses nowadays than back then, which means they need more retail space for other things.



Yes, Accel and Skull didn’t do too hot. Which is probably why most Seihou secondary Riders are Web-Exclusives nowadays no matter how well the main Rider performed sales-wise.

That’s what I was getting at; obviously the main riders’ base forms vanish within seconds, but SHF riders as a whole beyond that don’t seem to get picked up as much. Vulcan’s currently sold out on HLJ, so maybe that’s not as true as before...

Though there is, also, the factor of Too Many Forms. Back in the day OOO only had 7 show forms, 2 secondary riders and a scorpion to sell before you got to your misc forms and movie stuff and kaijin, but now Rider is intent on shoving as many toys at the audience as possible. The sheer excess would be impossible to keep up with even if SHF were better about this
