They made it, and it sold extremely well. People obviously cared.

I always thought it was either his most popular, or second most popular behind Rising, or 02. |

Did it sell extremely well? Do we have sales numbers or something? I definitely don't recall anything about pre-orders selling out, or a second run. I assume it did as well as most figuarts

It hovers around the 11,000 Yen mark on AmiAmi. I assume that means it did decently.

Fair enough then. I honestly was surprised people weren't taking more issue with Dragonic Knight lol

I adore the Dragonic Knight suit, and figure, but it was overshadowed rather quickly, so I get your point with it.
I also wish they could release faster. Like release the Assault upgrades in the same month, Do Jin and Horobi in the same month. Just pair up figures people may logically want together. Naki and Orthoros in the same month. |

You know...as amazing as modern Figuarts are, I wouldn't be opposed to going back to Drive quality figures. I think of the older ones (which i think is anything pre-Ex-Aid) they hold up the best.

Yeah, I agree. Going back to Fourze, they got all 7 in-show suits plus a bunch of movie suits, villains and extra sets done all within the year. That's basically what I'm getting at; that you're guaranteed to get what you want in a reasonable time rather than waiting for some random upgrade to get out of the way so you can get 02 within 4 years.

Personally I prefer quality over quantity. I have zero issue waiting for years on end to get characters or a suit that I really like if it means the figure itself ends up coming out great. The later we wait, the higher chance of said suit being done justice in action figure form due to advancements in sculpting, engineering, what have you.
(Unless Tamashii decides to use rubber parts or flocking but let's ignore that) That said, there not being any sort of alternative to SHF doesn't exactly help anything. Like, for Rangers, it's not an issue because LC exists for people who solely just want physical representation of the suits/characters on their shelves and don't care for too much else. Meanwhile those who want their figures to be as nice as possible have Super7 and Mezco. Kamen Rider meanwhile? Your only real choices are either SHF or Figure-Rise, and many people don't have the patience for model kits. Would be nice if there were a budget option for Kamen Rider and Ultra.
