Yes, it seems after the Kamen Rider Gaim line is when figuarts started to drag out releases and confirm stuff. Luckily I wasn't too much into Rider figuarts at the time or else I prob would have been part of the group anxiously wondering and waiting for Type Trideron to get confirmed and then when he did still had to wait 6-7 more months for release.

While price has gone up and engineering has evolved too which is possibly why we're seeing stuff dragged out...some stuff I scratch my head at. I don't know how their planning or release schedule goes in terms of who they decide to give the go but as pointed out before why did Dark Kiva spend so much time in "Prototype Prison" lol before being randomly and fortunately confirmed?

As I type I'm gonna be all over the place but I know Bandai is trying to keep costs down for regular releases but would you all had like to see a limited 3pk of Saber, Blades, and Esparda like they did for Ex-Aid? I don't know how well that did at the time. Also, I feel bad for the Saber line because it kinda reminds me of Kamen Rider Gaim with multiple riders early on and Bandai did a good job covering all of those riders

I am starting to look in other lines like Sodo, Shodo, and RKF even though those are a bit pricey too for candy toys but they are cheaper for collecting multiple rider designs and characters. I gave up trying to have all 20 Heisei riders as figuarts...
