I wondered what the Sentai figures would look like with the current engineering for Figuarts.

God...Now I want an SS Gokai Red...

Seeing the Hibiki logo in a horizontal format just feels wrong.

Oh that Sentai plate is rather insulting considering the last figure came out what, 5 years ago?

Also, reissue Hibiki already you cowards.

By buying them probably

[Yarlick]

Honestly, I don't want to see Tamashii Nations restart the Sentai brand, purely for the reason that they cowardly abandoned it 5 years ago.
They could have tried to better those figures, try the same thing they did with Kamen Rider but they didn't.
People would have bought a Sentai figure with the "new" Figuarts engineering...
It's their loss.

"Cowardly abandoned"

The stuff didn't sell; it's just a logical business decision. They might try again someday but I think they will arrive at the same conclusion: The general collector audience doesn't want to pay 300+ bucks for a complete team of one figure in five different colors.

Something I have been wondering recently is that... while a full team is hardly viable unless they turn out super popular, I really think SHF could get away with just making the Red and the Sixth of the cocurrent Sentai season. Sure there'd be people who wouldn't wanna bother unless a full team is a thing, but there's a lot of people that'd be happy with just those and I think they'd easily sell well enough.

Considering how abysmal Kyoryu Red sold - I don't think so.

At this point you can only try making insanely popular characters from well received shows and - does Sentai even have those anymore?

The only thing they would get away with IMO is a redone Zyuranger cast 'cause MMPR.

I find that reasoning kinda funny when you look at how completing a rider group is basically no different since you're spending 300+ for multiples of one figure with different armor pieces on it.

Granted you could justify it since you have riders with vastly different remolds and weapon options compared to recolors and a different helmet.

It still sucks that the Sentai stuff never sold as well, I still like a ton of them including the older releases like Gokai Red.
