Super Sentai SH Figuarts Return! A History and Breakdown of its Possible Future [Soundout12]

[@alainwolf146]

Bandai really should've made the core members of a Sentai team retail, and sixth Rangers and extra Rangers P-Bandai exclusives.

[@Soundout12]

They've never really figured out how to market and sell Sentai SHFs in all these years...

[@ironchefcheezsteak]

Thanks for mentioning the TRU releases. No one in my area knew what it was and Shinkenred got discounted to $12 also the box was really cheered up from being knocked around the store

Nice to see Sentai Figuart returns after 7 years with Zenkaizer (Zenkaiger). Consider the fact Sentai has been somewhat of slump in last couple of years, this was very surprising. Even though Gokaiger is complete, I'm still baffled why AkaRed (30th or 35th anniversary version) never got its release; not even prototype, despite popularity back then. Kind of interesting relaunch/reboot of Sentai Figuart with starting with white ranger (who is red ranger position). For rest of Zenkaiger, I can see TwoKaizer as retail or premium (most likely former), but Kikanoid would most likely be Premium, similar to Nick and Gorisaki from Go-busters, due to their design (maybe two-pack, Juran/Magine, Magine/Vroon); villains (Staceasar, Hakaizer) are definitely going to be Premium. DonBrothers would falls into same category, where rest of them would be Premium, though Inu/Black would probably come in pack with someone (Kiji/Pink maybe) due to its size; I would love to see Noto Trio (villains), since they have very interesting design. Looking forward to see DonMomotaro Figuart and hopefully, the sale would be enough to warrant for more.

Simple, make sure the main team is a retail release. That's it. If the team, say share the same mold, you can easily release it as a two-pack. Also helps that a lot of recent shows don't have any unique weapons.

[@Soundout12]

Agreed!!

[@D21BeastReviews]

I knew these figures existed, but didn't know the release history. It's nuts. Thanks for the chronicle!

[@Soundout12]

You’re welcome! I’m glad it was informative!

[@jamesbounds]

Those are some neat looking figures.

[@MechaMeister6511]

I’d imagine as you mentioned, they’ll drop reds first for specific teams like GokaiRed, maybe a GokaiSilver in future since Red is a Shinkocchou Seihou release. And they did do the Twokaiser so reds and sixths is likely for the time being. Perhaps we’ll see a Don Dragoku/Torabolt with a similar armor swapping mechanism to the recently released SHF Kamen Rider Live. That’d be neat. I’m just hoping they do full teams cause the only one I have is Momotaro, I’m tracking down Zenkaiser and Twokaiser cause I didn’t hop on them on release so full teams is my hope

[@badguy3]

Great, great video

[@Soundout12]

Thanks!

[@TheMaganac]

Looks like Sentai may be sorta back! However the new Figuarts revealed, (Twokaiser and Zenkaizer Black) are exclusives.

[@Soundout12]

I definitely called them making Twokaiser and him being PBandai. Was surprised they made Zenkaiser Black so quickly

[@wright5328]

since this video announced zenkaizer black (who already released), twokaizer and they showed that gokaired again and donmurasame

[@Soundout12]

I'm wondering when that Gokai Red might happen. It's been shown twice now with no release news

[@izuto727]

Hyper Shinken Red being P-bandai is ironic considering he's cheaper than the regular Shinken Red now in indonesian aftermarket

[@Soundout12]

That’s wild

[@awelojoe5544]

Just today they announced Twokaiser Sh figuarts, I hope they release the resto of Zenkaiger/Don brothers team as retail, and only very specific characters as Tamashi web exclusive, like Hakaizer, Zenkaiser Black or the kikanoids in civilian mode, cause the abuse of exclusives killed the line

[@Soundout12]

I knew they couldn’t resist Twokaiser! And hopefully we’ll see a better retail to exclusive balance than in the past

[@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker]

This was a very informative video. I always assumed Bandai stopped making the SHF because Hasbro bought the rights to Power Rangers and that somehow mixed in with some of the Sentai properties Power Rangers adapted. Does this mean there's potential for SHF to go back to older Sentais and make characters like Magna Defender or whatever he was known as in the Sentai?

[@davidv2002]

u forgot the american releases with the tommy and jason heads

[@Soundout12]

Oh crap. I did forget those. Nice catch!

[@ssj4jason737]

Hopefully we see some figuarts that got canned finally get released like say Dekaranger SWAT Mode, Gedoshu Shinken Red, Rio and Mele and hopefully we see some teams that never got figuarts like Battle Fever, Changeman, J.A.K.Q., and maybe 100 Years After Kyoryugers Also maybe stop relegating the rest of the core team to P-Bandai

[@Soundout12]

Tamashii’s P-Bandai obsession is so bad that I find it amazing there’s even retail figures at all Kamen Rider had about 38 releases last year and only 5 were retail. Its insane

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

"Show stuff and never release it" Or show stuff, do official images and even put it up for pre-order... then not release it anyway. RIP Kamen Rider Sabela.

[@ssj4jason737]

RIP Ultraman Joneus cause he was revealed at a tamashii nations event in 2019 and never got released

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

@@ssj4jason737 maybe he will be though! Because less than a week after I made this comment, they scheduled Sabela for release again! There's always hope! Weird, inconsistent and probably mostly false hope!

[@thunderstudent]

The rest of the dairanger team plz

[@Soundout12]

They might as well remake Ryu and Kiba and then do the rest of the team

[@thunderstudent]

@@Soundout12 but I already have them

[@Soundout12]

You don’t have to buy any redos. Tamashii would likely redo the body mold since they’ve changed their joint style since then

[@thunderstudent]

@@Soundout12 I hope they keep the drop down hips, I really love those!

[@Soundout12]

Definitely! Those help with the Dairanger’s role call poses
