It means that it's pending licensing approval

Jeez, looking back at the history of Figuarts, there are so many Sentai Figuarts we still have to be released, despite having seen them already made. I'm really disappointed how much the ball has been dropped lately.

Gedou Shinken Red
Akaranger
Baseball Mask
Rio
Mele
Bouken Yellow
Bouken Pink
Bouken Silver
White Swan
Blue Swallow
Yellow Owl

That's not even including the bit redundant and unnessecary Super Shinken Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink and Gold, SWAT Dekaranger and a couple of Akibaranger Season One characters. Are we ever going to get these guys? Have Figuarts ever completely abandoned so many figures before. The Jetman, Akaranger and at least Bouken Yellow and Pink especially need to be released.

You missed out the five SWAT mode Dekas, and every other Shinkenger in super mode too

EDIT: How are the SWAT Dekas and Malshina "redundant" but Gedou Shinken Red worthy of a release?

Oh ok. No wonder. Still, the usual avenues I stalk didn't even show them. At best, I thought IA would have them. And again, the usual Toku shops I'm not used to, so guess I'll miss out.

Yeah, I'm just trying to army build. Wanted some henchmen to fight my various heros. Was going to make them Zedds stand-in Putties.

Agreed. Kamen Rider is themed around a set number of individual characters. Super Sentai centers on teams of 5 or more, not to mention the mechas et al.

I meant the SWAT and Supers are and that I hadn't counted the Akibaranger ones, just worded it extremely awfully. I'd kill for Malshina, especially in her Season Two "Ranger" form, even though it hasn't ever been shown. I dunno, I just think that there's better time spent making new characters then revisiting ones from old seasons like the SWAT Dekarangers and a full team of Super Shinkengers, Gedou only gets a pass to me personally because we have so few "villain" characters, although its definitely on the bottom of my priority list and if we do get more villains, I'd prefer non-Shinkenger ones considering Fuwa Juuzo has that covered already. New characters first, then start doing upgraded/Super modes, especially because I doubt they'd ever finish a full team of Supers.

My prayers are for all the revealed ones (minus the "anime" Akibarangers, as I have no personal interest in them) to be released, then give us the Goseigers to go with Gosei Knight and then the Dairangers, then at least the core three Gekiranger to go with Rio and Mele and then start with some new past seasons, especially Magiranger. I'm getting really worried for the Sentai side of Figuarts.

Gotta support this. Though I'd admit I'm all for finishing what they showed. I want those Swat modes, as aside from the Super Shinkengers, it'll be the first super mode for a full team of Rangers. And they don't have to worry about a sixth Ranger super mode for the few teams that have it (MagiLegends, DekaSwat, Gekiranger, Shinkenger, Gingaman). And we do need more villains. Some new stuff would be great, and if they want to do something special as a trial, do Lord Zedd & Titanium Ranger. At the very least, we should get Bandora/Rita.

There was a time I'd have wanted Gedou Shinken Red, but I'm assuming Super/Hyper bombed so that ship (along with the other Super Shinkengers) has long since sailed. The SWAT modes are much worthy of a release, but I'm in agreement that they should get priority over any different characters that have actually been prototyped already. Hell I'm not Boukenger fan by any stretch of the imagination, but they really should get those last three out so they can be done with them. Same goes for the remaining Jetman, who I'd snap up in a heartbeat.

I guess the villain thing is probably holding Rio/Mele back somewhat, but it's crazy that Akaranger hasn't come out after all this time.

Oh well, it could be worse. They aren't quite in Master Asia's position yet
