S.H. Figuarts August Tamashii Web Exclusives

2-packs are fine, but personally I'd hate to see Figuarts go into boxsets. The idea of buying a 4+ figure web exclusive set fills me with utter dread and would seriously affect the amount I'd want to buy.

See boxed sets are EXACTLY what I've always wanted from Figuarts. It allows me to get everyone I want at one time. With Sentais boxed sets just seem like a no brainer. If you're gonna do the Reds and 6ths on their own then that leaves 4 figures in limbo in the middle. Based on how they sold the individuals for Shinkenger, Gokaiger, and Dekaranger I'd say they determined this was the best/easiest way to sell the other core team members.

Now where is my Bouken Pink/Yellow 2-pack and Silver/Zubaan 2-pack

Which is fine if you can afford to buy 4 figures in one go. Not everyone has that luxury

Exactly. While I'm sure it's slightly less than if they had been sold separately (entirely excluding shipping, since they'd also probably be released and shipped separately), it's still going to be insanely expensive. Two-packs seem like the best solution to me. They get released faster and can release more, while simultaneously increasing appeal by having them grouped together. Put in four and now you've made your product too expensive.

Touche. I don't always have that much on hand either. It just makes more sense to sell them that you way is all.

Figures the one Gridman Ultra Act I'd want is a web exclusive *sigh*

interesting that they're going for the two pack route with the sentai releases though…

If Rider forms end up being web exclusives, I wonder if they'll eventually start packing the forms together too?

They could always do both. Bandai, Takara, and probably others, do that with various combining things.

Sweet! I'm all over Boukenger 2 packs.

Roanstalker · 03-21-2013, 05:08 PM

Ye I really want King Gridman. Damned Bandai and their Web Exclusives.

Kiryu · 03-21-2013, 05:09 PM

Y'know I'm surprised we're not seeing Pink first. Considering we're seeing her in Akibaranger and all.
