S.H. Figuarts tend to keep its properties within its line as well. That's why you have "Figuarts" of motorcycles, stand and accessory sets, a disembodied arm, and a vending machine, and an anthropomorphic turtle-reptile-dinosaur isn't that less humanoid than Mirror Monsters, Buddyroids, or Greeed. His proportions are simply as deformed as they are on Mario.
You know what I could see happen? Bowser turned into a Figuarts Zero. That would be a shame, I'd rather something along the lines of D-Arts Blastoise, but would not be unimaginable. Bonus points though if a Bowser, however released, came out alongside a castle-themed accessory set.

Lucario can be view humanoid similar to how to the Kamen Rider monsters. Jet Jaguar would also never become a Ultra Act given that line is for Ultraman characters and other heroes from Tsuburaya Productions only.

I'd be curious to know how they'd do an S.H. Figuarts Princess Peach or Daisy.

I could see them being regular Figuarts if the dresses are that soft plastic people seem to like and if the cuts are placed smartly enough. |

Edit: Just saw Bluefin's Facebook post. Still nothing about it being available anywhere special, but it does confirm a June release for the States. Which is a relief for me. And pretty much means I'll preorder Mario and both playsets...

Given how their dresses are and how Figuart dresses then to be rigid I'd say Figuarts Zeros, which is a shame as both of them have done their fair share of action in the past.

I'd much prefer a SHF Rosalina, anyway

This is not the kind of thing that got an official press release, if that's what you're getting at. I'm sure much of it is that this isn't a done deal, but it makes some sense to hit Bandai's competition on every available front. It's also part of the reason why Mario isn't packed in with all the accessories making up the two dioramas, to make him a more competitive package alongside a $50 Samus or Link, but that helps in general too. (Didn't realize they wouldn't be on GS shelves however, I've paid zero attention to those specific releases.) Oh, and it was gleaned from Twitter. Bluefin's got a lot of guys passionate about their products.
