Kamen Rider Saber toy thread

Yep. The sword only has a hinge there because that's where the book's hinge is, and they decided to carry that detail over to Shadow.

I mean...he just has the hinges because he's a shadow of what is shown on the sword, which happens to have a hinge. It was never going to be a part of the gimmick, especially now that all 3 of his new forms are no longer shadows of Saikou.

They really are embracing the comic book theme. This box is great lol

Saber's Quarter 1 sales have arrived and uhhh.... It's concerning.

It's pretty worrying that it could only match OOO and lose against the likes of Ghost. It's not looking good.

Although, this makes me think... Would this refrain Toei and Bandai from using multiple riders next season?

Though you must ask if there's an impact from the pandemic. Are sales lowered from the impact of a worldwide pandemic?

God I hope so. If this in any way makes Bandai calm down on the amount of toys they're putting out, thank god.

Though, I mean, I should also probably point out that Zi-O and Zero-One had huge marketing behind them as the 20th Heisei anniversary rider and the first Reiwa rider respectively. Saber is really the first time we've had a more 'standard' Rider show with nothing particularly special like that since Build.

Yes, I guess with ZI-O being the anniversary rider and Zero-One being the "new gen" rider would make them have big marketing compared to the likes of Saber.

Although, didn't Build have the somewhat marketing of "sticking to the roots"? Or did it sell well purely on the merit of the show and Cross-Z and toys?

Probably a bit of both.

I'd assume it just done very well, because Build is amazing

Either way... Saber having the worst 1st quarter sales in 10 years is pretty shocking.
