Been hanging out in the Kyoruger forum and the Ep. 9 thread touched on how badly we're gonna be screwed when it comes to S.H. Figuarts Kyoruger figures.
We haven't seen any previews of these, have we? I have to re-watch the Akibaranger Season 1, Episode 2 and dig through some Tamashii exhibits threads, but I don't think Bandai has shown them off. I am hoping they use a body with independent an upper bicep swivel, some of the recent ones just use a double ball-socket at the shoulder to achieve arm articulation don't really work for me. Since the Kyuranger suits don't have any stripes or patterns that would be interrupted by a cut for an upper bicep swivel, it shouldn't look out of place. As for as accessories, at minimum Bandai should include: - hands to pose them in all of their roll-call poses - Gaburevolver - Gabucaliber - Gabucannon - extra, armored right arm for "Armed On" mode - individual weapon (shield, spike, blade, whatever etc) that can be combined - a bunch of batteries and holders First run bonus: - stage that each ranger stands on while inside the mecha (like the Gokai Darins). Would be nice but doubtful: - translucent energy effects parts to simulate energy attacks/weapons firing Releases: Well, we'd all want all the rangers to be regular releases, but you know Bandai's gonna F- us. Best case scenario, we get Red, Black, and Green as regular releases, with Blue, Pink, and Torin as the quickest Tamashii Web Exclusives. Maybe we get future Rangers (Cyan, Gold) and Deboss as full figures as Tamashii web exclusives, plus some Figuarts Zeros of the bad guys. Any power ups (Red Carnival) for Red will probably be regular releases, with other colors being web exclusives. Bummer. Maybe Bandai will surprise us and do two-packs of Green/Black and Blue/Pink as regular release? Quote:
I don't understand Bandai at all. They took 6 months to get us Wizard Figuarts. Like 8 months to do Red Buster. There is no excuse why the main rider form and red ranger should not be out the same week a new show hits the airwaves. Wizard Flame Style should have been out back in Sept while KyoryuRed should have been out no later than a month ago.
Why put out a toy if it's going to warm a shelf? See above. Quote:
...So, what your saying is that you'd like Bandai to rush the production of the FUCKING COLLECTOR ORIENTATED LINE, just so they can be on shelves when the show starts? Do you know what fucking happened the last time they did that? We got the OOO Figuarts. Do you REALLY want more Figuarts to end up like that? Oh, and here's the BIG THING that you missed, since Figuarts are a line SOLELY aimed at collectors, it DOESN'T matter when they come out. Parents aren't buying Figuarts for their kids, they're buying the "budget lines" like WAP! or the Sentai Vinyl Heroes for them; hence why those lines start very close to when the show starts. But of course, you skipped over that little detail so you could once again show off just how dumb and ignorant you are. Also, I'd like to point out that "dumb" (being stupid) and "ignorant" (a lack of knowledge) are not the same things in any light. In this case, ignorance is what you're looking for, and not stupidity. Ignorance should never be used in a negative tone either, because ignorance is just not knowing. So to sum it up, you're ignorance on ignorance is appalling, and I think it's "stupid" to insult someone over the internet for simple lack of just not knowing. |

Personally, i see these figures coming with the gun, sword and combined mode (afterall, go-busters did). I dont see the arm swap being included, or the megazord plinth, but theres always a chance it could come as a first run incentive.
Its a controversial issue how bandai handle the release schedule, but they have a schedule and id rather see the cost of a team spread out over months/years as im already buying several figures a month, plus all the other lines i collect |

In all seriousness though, there are toys on the shelves when the series debut like the Sofubis and the stuff like the Rider gimmick toys(currently WAP). The collector stuff comes after to give that a chance to sell and they can gauge interest on characters/forms. Anyway, my guess is that everyone that isn't Red will be exclusive. Because of how Gokaiger and Go-Busters went will cause Bandai to release stuff under a fallacy that anyone who isn't Red won't sell. |

They don't have to rush anything. They should just have the first Figuart in time for the show's launch. I mean, it isn't like Toei comes up with the designs a week before it airs.

All of Bandai's resources for a new Sentai show probably goes into making sure that the initial meat of next year's Sentai line is all perfected and ready to go before the show premiers. Getting a figure ready for ready for a Collector's oriented line, in a series that isn't seem to be selling well for Sentai releases is probably the furthest thing from the dev team's mind when a new Sentai series goes into planning, and quite frankly I don't mind the wait myself, it just means we hopefully won't have a repeat of Red Buster or OOO.

I still don't understand the problems people have with OOO, I love my TaToBa . But again, gotta say what the others are saying, there is a reason it takes so long to create new toys. For example, the OOO line, were rumored to be in development the same time they designed the suits, hence why they all have that "button" on their back. You gotta remember it takes time to develop toys, to work out the kinks and to make sure everything is solid. No matter how long it takes to make a figuart, the people have to wait until the developers say it's ready to be released to the public.

It feels cheaper compared to Figuarts that came after it, especially if you compare it to the W releases. Mine is pretty loose and the head was so wobbly it may as well be a bobble head.

I guess I'm the odd one out, cause mine has tight joints but can still move around the way I want it to. I agree it does feel "cheaper," but I don't mind it

That's why Gosei Knight was created before Gosei Red. |

The red (subtly) dragon-themed kid appeal character or the dynamic silver lion-themed knight who was able to form his own Mecha?
