If this is true I would be super happy with Kamen Rider J, W Renewal, Kiva, Ibuki, Mega Red, Janperson, Chalice Wild, Orga, Joker Undead, Drive Type Formula and if true good to see that Chaser ends up a Kamen Rider.

Kiva and Ibuki are definite buys for me and J I would want too. Depending on Rider Chaser too.

Rather than normal renewals I hope it is Shinkccho W.

And for Poseidon

If I had money, yes, I would give them money because I want to help support Dino Charge. But at the same time I can still shake my head as a fan of Goseiger and be upset they only gave us Gosei Knight. And he was only released because of a public poll for a new exclusive.

Them not releasing Goseiger is bordering on insulting though. They released full teams of Shinkenger, Gokaiger, Go-Buster (Except Beet and Stag for some reason. Hey, we're releasing Go-Busters.. just not the two fans want!), Dino Charge (The Main Six), and soon they'll be announcing ToQger. They even gave us Jetman, are giving us Go-Ranger, and just announced more Figuarts for SunVulcan.

But no, not Tensou Sentai Goseiger. I guess us fans of that can just go dancing through the daisies. (That was the best thing I could say and not violate the rules.)

In fairness, even if all 3 Goseiger fans bought the figures, they wouldny exactly make much money from it

People act like theres some big mystery, when the release pattern is actually very simple. Black Condor didn't sell well, so we didn't get the rest of Jetman. The Boukengers didn't do well, so we didn't get the rest of them. Gobusters.. Well, we all know what happened with Gobusters. I don't think releasing the whole team at once would help anyone either. Aside from the reasons mentioned by others, they DID announce all of the Kyoryugers prior to Red being released and that didn't seem to help with sales at all.

It might be frustrating for us, but it's not a surprise that they won't release Bouken Pink and Yellow after nobody bought Black and Blue.

TBH I think most Sentai fans just don't care about action figures it's all about the morphers and robos.

Weren't they also pretty upfront that the rest of Zyu and KibaRanger got made mostly because of Power Rangers?

I actually thought Bluefin themselves stated more of the opposite recently. The US demand played a large part in getting them, but they wouldn't have happened at all if the Japanese didn't want them. The fact that they're considered historic characters over there and Akibaranger appeared at just the right time helped a lot.

Before I get too hyped up about the list, I have a few concerns about it. These guys are apparently pretty reliable, so maybe someone can help answer these points.

- I doubt whatever leaked source they have would have showed/listed any accessories, so why is the cyber slider specifically called out? Obviously it's a bigger deal, but if they know all of the accessories that's surely something to tell us.

- Double getting a fancy renewal makes sense, but Kiva is the final Rider they have to release to complete the series and he's just going to be a bog standard release? They wouldn't release two shinkocchou's so close together, but I just can't imagine Kiva not being some kind of celebration release.

- Formula? Where are Wild and Technic? I can't believe we won't have Trideron by then either.

- They've been pretty consistently rereleasing Showa riders and their bikes over the past year, but according to this there won't be another until at least October?

- Injustice, Marvel, Precure, Sailor Moon, Star Wars? Do these guys only list the stuff they care about, or are we supposed to believe Bandai have gone back to focusing on a few Japanese shows? Even if the external properties are kept a bit more secret (I can buy Disney not wanting them to talk about the rest of the Avengers yet), but surely we must have a Sailor Pluto and Cure Sword release in there. Not to mention the fact Love Live and Card Captor Sakura are also being prominently displayed at WonFes next month, with the latter fiercely competing with a rival company.

Oh gosh!

Hopefully there's more Ultra-Act other than another Tiga coming though.

So there is a SIC Poseidon? Interesting.
