* MemeticLoser: Kamen Rider Ryuki, one of the most requested Shinkocchou Seihou releases for ''years'' and of an extremely popular and enduring Rider to boot. Bandai haven't even ''hinted'' at its existence, with Ryuki being one of the ''only'' Phase 1 Heisei Riders to not have a Shinkocchou Seihou figure alongside the much less popular Blade. It got to the point that the much lambasted ''Kiva'' got Shinkocchou Seihou figures before Ryuki, and Kiva himself was a previous Memetic Loser in his own right.

** The ''Berserk'' line has ''not'' been well-received due to several design faults that make them difficult to pose without breaking.
** The Raid on Onigashima Zoro is very hated for how limited his articulation is in the legs (it's next to unusable since the plastic around them is so thick) and his arms constantly popping off. Combined, this makes him essentially a statue.
