Maybe they are testing the waters with the Kyoryu and Hurricane two packs against the individual Zyu ones to see which sells better. Last edited by Dr Kain; 02-22-2014 at 10:24 AM.. |

It's not a bad move, really. Do single releases for the Red/Sixth and two packs for everyone else.

Oh wow so the two crap core Kyoryu's are in one set?
I might just grab the Nossan Souji set and let that be my representation of the show in figure form. Are preorders up anywhere?

It was a web exclusive set. Orders were due months ago so you've missed that window. You'll have to wait and pick it up on the secondary market now.

I guess that is a good excuse to skip Kyoryuger SHFs in general

Kamen Rider is more popular then Super Sentai and Kamen Rider figuarts sell better. Past Super Sentai gets figuarts if there's a new movie or V-Cinema (Hurricaneger) or if there's a new season of Akibaranger. Toei tends to pick popular Sentai seasons for Akibaranger like Dekaranger and Jetman. Or you could wait for Bluefin to release them in the US next year which is likely. I doubt they will give the team a metallic paint set since the Kyoryuger SHFs were made after Bluefin was able to pick up web exclusives. Last edited by Guyver Spawn; 02-22-2014 at 12:20 PM.. |

Okay I have to ask, why do whenever I go to any forum that talks about figuarts their always seems to be this prevailing pessimism that Bandai doesn't give Sentai figuarts any attention/they will stop making Sentai figures because they are doing low in sales? I know the fact that pretty much all Sentai figures except for red being Web exclusive means they don't think they will sell well in just retail but they did the same for Wizards and so many other lines and yet I never see so much worry about the other lines. Maybe Bandai isn't releasing any new info on Sentai Figuarts because they think the line needs a small break after so many months of constant releases. I mean since I've started collecting figures in October their have been almost constantly two Figures released each month, and for the one month that doesn't another month has three to make up for it.
Oct: 2 (two single releases) Nov: 1 Figure Dec: 2 Figures(2 pack) Jan: 2 Figures(2 pack) Feb: 3 Figures(single release and a 2 pack) plus the next for months each have at least one Sentai figure coming out for each month. I admit I'm new to figure collecting so I don't know much about Bandai's policies but such a long string of releases and the fact that in 2014 they will have completed the CORE team for three Sentai's in the first half of the year gives me lots of hope for the line. ![]()

In Bandai's eyes, Kamen Rider sells better and it seems like Kamen Rider in Japan is more popular overall. It seem like the other Zyuranger Sentai got figures because they were in Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters. Sadly no Abaranger figuarts got announced.

It takes them time for them to decide what sentai team to make I mean it's probably gonna be a while for them to start making the rest of Dairanger, the last three Boukengers, any of Magiranger, the remaining Jetman, any Abaranger, any Go-Onger, or any others that are either incomplete or have no releases yet

Considering how long it takes to sculpt prototypes and all the other preproduction work involved, I'd expect they'd know some decent amount of time in advance what the next Sentai Figuarts will be.
