I mean, Bandai and Hasbro are rival toymakers, and considering one recently won the rights to make a still decently-profitable toyline over the other, it's not that surprising they don't want to feed into each other's profits.

It might be worth noting that Dairanger got a notably healthy set of releases in the Sentai Artisan line, which is a pretty exclusive club. I'm probably even less informed about these things than most people, but for what it's worth, I have to imagine a Minipla DairenOh has a pretty solid chance of getting made... it just might take a bit for them to get around to it.

SAME. I wonder if it would be bigger than Grand Liner?

Wild Force is the Ranger series I remember most fondly, so this news has me super stoked. I'm all in on this kit. Only other one I'd want would maybe be Engine-Oh (or a full G12 while we're at it)

I could have sworn the reception to Ninninger by Japanese fandom was overall positive...

Most people tend to assume the adult Western market's reception is more dominant than the child Japanese market

The opinions among older fans might line up more often than we might think? I've certainly seen people rag on Kamen Rider Ghost in at least two languages!

It probably also doesn't help that Hasbro is commonly associated/paired with TakaraTomy, a.k.a. Bandai's most bitter of rivals in Japan.

I definitely can't make any particularly educated guesses, but I can contribute, from the very small window I can see out of, that a rather popular Japanese toy reviewer I watch regularly says Ninninger is his favorite recent Sentai and has at least once bemoaned that he doesn't get a lot of people agreeing with him on that, which, you know, hard same.

Anyways, I just realized I'm one of the top commenters on this topic and I haven't said a single thing about the Gaoking minipla, so uh...yeah. My bad
