S.H. Figuarts (Toku Related) Thread

I'm talking about making the choice of which ones to make. Honestly the ones they have a lot of the molds for they should finish before going into ones they haven't even made the mother fucking red senshi of, in my opinion finishing Boukenger, Dairanger, & Jetman aswell as making the Shurikenger should be priority one for the Sentai figuarts. But there's more of a consistency gap with the Rider figuarts cause they still have a shit ton of stuff to finish with Ryuki & they haven't even started with Hibiki and for fuck sake when are we gonna see Orga and Zeronos Vega Form.

As much as I want Shurikenger and the rest of Jetman, I'd be very surprised if they go back to those teams before starting newer groups. After the remaining Zyuranger and Kyoryuger figures, I expect they'll move on to ToQger to cash in while it's still on the air. That's just my opinion, of course, but it makes some financial sense to strike while the iron is hot, as it were.

Exactly, when SH is behind on completing sets for the better selling Kamen Rider I don't see why we should expect any better from Sentai.

Besides as awesome as it would be to see them finish one team at a time realistically that sounds like a horrible business decision for Bandai to make. SH Sentai figures are a niche market, and while they can not assume everyone who buys a figure from one team will by all of another sentai team, it's probably a safe bet for Bandai to assume that those who buy non red figures will probably be the people who will be buying the whole sentai team. It would be crazy for Bandai to expect that everyone in that small group can easily pay $30-$40 dollars for five/six months in a row for toys, even spreading it out to every two months could still be risky and that would mean they would be spending basically the whole year bleeding one consumer group dry while letting other groups go untapped. Sure there are those like me who want to collect all Sentai figurarts but they can't assume that's the case. Hell as much as I am dying to own all Jetman and Dairanger members if they announced that they would release one member of either teams for the last half of this year their is no way I'd be able to buy them all straight from Bandai. Especially with all the other Bandai lines I'm trying to keep up with taking my money XP

And we all know that a metric shit ton more Toku Faithful are wanting an Orga figure than a full Dairanger team in figure form especially since Kamen Rider was before Sentai and is really popular in Japan.

And then those are some of us like myself just sitting here waiting on Juukou B-Fighter and B-Fighter Kabuto figuarts

Problem is, that didn't last that long, same with Beetleborgs, so patience young padewan

MetroPoliceGray · 02-22-2014, 06:09 PM

Screw it, I'm on record with wanting the obscure NeijiRangers/Psycho Rangers. But we need to finish the Dekarangers Swat Mode, get some Time Force, MegaRangers, and Magirangers in there. I want my MagiLegend Mode! And where's KR Femme/Siren?

It won't surprise me if the Sentai figuarts sell better in the US. I think Americans have more nostalgia to the Zyuranger suit designs then Japan does.

That would be the best day ever.

Therefore I've resigned myself to believing it'll never happen. It saves disappointment

Deathryuger;312436Those are to combine to form the Howling Cannon. The rest come with Blue/Tricera.

That's a cool way to make the team weapon. Other than the Inordinate Cannon/Bazooka, have they even done that before?
