They actually sped things up quite a bit last year. We got Rodimus, Snake Eyes, Alteisen, Jazz, Dino Megazoed, and the Jet Fire Armor. Also Shattered Glass Megtron in terms of redecos. The next releases look like they should be Ultraman and Gypsy Danger, hopefully Starscream, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and Lazengan will also be released this year. Figures like Rodimus/Alteisen are funny in that they came out st the tail end of the year, so unless you ordered from D4 you likely only got them the following year, so 2023 for Rodimus and 2024 for Alteisen. However you are right in that they managed to ramp up production for 2023, even if you exclude reissues and repaints. We know for sure that Ultraman and Gypsy danger are coming, and there's a good chance that we'll at least get Starscream from the Transformers line this year as well. I forgot about Snake Eyes because he's not part of the more prestigious line. Yeah unfortunately, the "Hito" part of the Kara Kuri series (Arkham Knight and Snake Eyes) have both been pretty basic compared to the Kuro and Go parts of the series. It doesn't look like Ultraman is going to do much to change that, but it'd be cool if they eventually did decide to add in some LEDs on one of them. With Megazord being the success that it is, I hope that means we won't have to wait that long for Dragonzord. I hope we also get White Tigerzord at some point. Starscream was the one that made me start collection the Kara Kuri series, so I'd be really happy if was the next one up after Gypsy Danger.

We already saw the prototype for Dragonzord, but them doing a Titanus would be surprising. It's entire toy history is being a shelf warmer, and Flame Toys tend to avoid those.

Totally... also has a story of skyrocketing after being sold out...maybe they'd release as limited release or something like that. Anyway, with titanus this set would be awesome...
