I totally get that. Though I liked that crazy movie and Kivara even if she was pretty brief. But it's just reality that the villains don't sell and probably won't be made. Some key examples being exceptions that could be made but for the most part they will never do every villain from a particular show. W, OOO, and Fourze have proven that sales numbers for villain SHF's (and Zeros for that matter) are staggeringly low.

She's a Rider character, not a Sentai one... I'd be more than a little angry if we got Kivara before the 4 Blade Riders...

I don't understand why villains are poor sellers though. Do the Japanese just have their heroes fight air? |

No it's because kids idolize heroes. So they don't buy villains. When there are as many costumed heroes as Japan has like every kid wants to fight for justice. And when it comes to SHFiguarts, which are not primarily aimed at children, adult collectors tend to pass on villains because they grew up always watching the heroes win. They have a stronger connection to them than the bad guys.

Also, you're missing the point entirely, he's talking about how kids idolize heroes. That has nothing to do with the villain or the even the show itself. The villain could be amazing, but heroes are who we want to see win. Heroes protect and save people, villains hurt and destroy things. People prefer heroes. |

*Sees disscussion about villians*
Ok...I prefer to buy heroes, but I would buy villians, because the hero needs someone to fight.

But the villains are what can make or break a show. If the villain sucks, the show usually sucks. The heroes can suck all they want, but if the villain is well done, the show ends up good. MagiRanger is a prime example of this, and Enter was the only thing in Go-Buster that was worth a damn.

As for a "display" while I think having a few bad guys would make my Figuarts display "better", I'm happy just having Riders for now. Price is a key factor on that, but also Riders either standing their together epically (All Riders versus Dai Shocker, for example) or doing their own poses, it seems to work better that way. I think it's awesome that each Rider has something of a signature pose, and when lined up as toys it just looks better than a display of fighting a bad guy. That's just me though. |
