I just pose my Figuart and leave it alone. Sometimes I will change my poses, but that will be it. Figuarts are not meant to be play with since swapping out hands and always needing to change the pose in action can be a pain sometimes.

ToQ1 just to be hopeful, as this is the time where we ought to be getting Sentai Figuarts announcements.

It looks like they are doing more Showa Sentai figuarts now. ToQ1 seems unlikely given how unpopular ToQger is at the moment with older fans. I guess they will announced the rest of the team for Sun Vulcan since there's only three members soon I hope.

Same here. I usually mess around with the figure to get a feel for the articulation, pose it, stick it on the shelf and leave it there until I feel like changing the post.

Hopefully Sun Vulcan will get completed. I mean come on, it's a three person team. Two pack Blue and Yellow and BAM! Hopefully this little burst of Showa senshis will land me some J.A.K.Q. and Liveman SHFs.

Do you just pose your Figuart & leave it alone? Do you keep it in-box & take it out to pose, then immediately put it back? Do you play with it constantly & switch accessories so many times it's like breathing? Just stuff I'd like to know before investing in more Figuarts. Thanks in advanced!

Rarely a day goes by where I dont take some of my figuarts of the shelf and pose them around. I´m usually not the guy that gets a figuart poses it until he finds a good pose and leaves it like that for a long time. If I like the pose they are in and dotn feel like changing it I usually just put them back into that pose after I´m done fiidling around with them figure.

It's hard to say. SOme figures I mess around with a lot, bu it was easier to do that when I only had a handful. Now that I have a ton, it is not so much anymore. In fact, I am debating if I want to get rid of a few figures to lessen the count, but I don't think I'd be able to sell them.

For example, I want to get rid of my extra W forms like Cyclone Trigger, Luna Joker, Cyclone Metal, and Luna Metal, BUT I want to give the effect parts like the little insect bots and the stretched Luna arm, so I'm not sure if anyone would even buy them without those parts.

And then there are times when I accidentally come across a good pose that I don't want to touch it. Nevertheless, I do try to change up my poses if I can do so (my Wizard shelf is cramped, so it is kind of hard to do so).

I thought I read that ToQ was a big hit in Japan.

I only pose them for photos and then put em back in the box when done, mostly because I used to display them but the dust reallllly built up and it was a pain to clean.

Maybe for kids, but I rarely see adult fans talked about the show. There's such little discussion and fanworks of the show on Japanese sites from what I've seen. We haven't got any S.H Figuarts of ToQger so far seeing that last year that we got Kyoryu Red last October.

Dude kids are literally ALL that matter in Japan for the success of sentai & rider. It has nothing at all to do with the adults, especially not their discussions on message boards or anything like that. As long as sales figures for the toylines are high in Japan the show is considered a success, even when the TV ratings are in the tank. Like Gaim had pretty bad average ratings but the toys sales were through the roof. The year Kyoryuzin came out it was the #1 selling toy in Japan but it's ratings were on average no better than Go-Busters.

Frankly neither of these things, toy sales for children and TV ratings, have much to do with whether figuarts are produced or not. They don't solely base whether or not they produce collector's line figures for adults on the ratings of the show or the sales of it's toys. It's much more subjective than that.

There's every chance Bandai are just tired of seeing the current reds bomb every year too. From their point of view there's probably no rush to get them out any more.

HELL YES! I need a Kamen Rider G. I'm not even a huge SMAP fan but Inagaki Goro is awesome and just having a figure that is both a Kamen Rider and a Johnny's idol would be a dream come true.

It would even make my pipe dream of having Eight Ranger Figuarts seem less like a pipe dream.

You're assuming that Bandai/Toei actually reads message boards like this one?
