Welp. They're exclusives. That sort of crushes my desire to get all of them. Well, Nossan and Souji can probably wait. I honestly want Ian and Amy first.

You guys expected something else? Previous sales for sentai general releases have shown that outside the reds they don't sell very well. Exclusivity is now the only logical way to release a full team. Making them exclusive with slightly higher price tags ensures that the smaller and thus more expensive production run pays for itself. If these were general release I'd say Bandai could lose money.

It really does. Knocking out 2 members at a time is a great way to do this. It feels like we get them a lot quicker too since the release aren't as staggered.

I'm torn

On one hand, bummed out that they'll be web exclusive

On the other

This means we'll see the full team by Kyoryuger's end and maybe the Spirit Rangers too.

OMG I want them all now!


Wait, where can I preorder them? AmiAmi or somewhere else? Is there a middleman who can help me get them?

I guess I was just hoping that maybe Kyoryuger is succcessful enough that they would be a normal release like for Gokaiger (except for the girls).

Gokaiger was sort of the test vehicle to determine if general release sentai figures would sell. And while they didn't sell terribly they didn't sell amazingly either. Silver was such a poor seller that you can still find him in the 1500-2000 yen range. When Red Buster came out he helped reinforce the trend of general releases not selling all that well. Granted his sales problems stem from some poor design flaws, but still

They didn't actually confirm it, but it's natural to assume that Black and Pink will probably be coming together.

Ah okay, I was to busy seeing the pretty figures of Black and Pink to read it carefully.

I hope we get Gold, Silver, Purple, Cyan and Deathryuger - unlike Beet Buster, Stag Buster and Beet J. Stag.
