That is the literal definition sure. But Iron Man and live action western super-heroes of that nature have never been considered tokusatsu in the traditional sense by this site. They aren't "henshin heroes" in the same way that Riders and Sentai are. Hence why discussion of related figures to the IM franchise goes into the SHF-Non-Toku Thread in General Discussion.

Yes but those riders are labelled as Showa retroactively by Toei. It's not mislabeling when it's intentional. Those riders (J, ZO, Shin) are labelled in that way because they predate Shotaro Ishinimori's death. Whereas everything beyond that, things he wasn't directly involved with due to said death, are all proper Heisei Riders. Yes they physically were produced in the Heisei era, but this classification works for me. It sort of marks where riders of the traditional franchise end, and the new one begins.

It's already been said but discussion of non-toku figuarts belongs in the General Discussion SHF Non-Toku Thread. Please move any further discussion of Iron Man figures or the possibility of them there.

Shin is one I think could possibly benefit from the Kabuto 2.0 type of box, especially if they go all out with it to fit Shin.
