Getting a Renewal of a figuart that was already perfectly fine over the LAST rider we need to complete the Heisei riders is pretty ehhhh

Since we're on the topic, I think Shadow Moon benefits from the renewal. The improvement in his head sculpt and torso proportion is excellent. I'm a very detail oriented person, so I'm probably focusing on things others won't but why turn down a better product? Bandai will get to the other riders. They are always surprising us.

No, the feet are completely wrong on the Renewal. His feet in Black were not rectangular.

I just don't think Renewal Shadow Moon was a figuart worth doing when we still have so many gaps to fill in for Kamen Riders. We still don't a proper regular form Kiva, and Agito, W, OOO, Decade and Wizard all needed a renewal far more than Shadow Moon.

Regardless of slight inaccurate details, at least the figure itself is still recognizably Shadow Moon and pretty much spot-on from a distance while still holding up beautifully to current Figuarts release. The other ones I mentioned? Not so much.

I just think it'd be best for them to prioritize Riders that haven't been done and Riders who actually NEED the treatment before they start trying to correct minor details that many people wouldn't even notice. As it stands, the only people who I can see buying this would be people who never owned the original Shadow Moon (me) or people who are extremely anal about detail, and even then, I feel like the feet on the new one are actually more inaccurate. I just think Shadow Moon is one of those figures where if we never saw a Renewal for it, people would have been perfectly fine with it.

What makes the Shadow Moon renewal pointless to me in my opinion is that they just reissue him last year. The last time I check that you can still find and buy him at retail. If there was more demand for Shadow Moon then they could have give him another reissue. I don't think Tamashii Nations has reissue limit since they are reissuing Ultraman renewal for the third or forth time.

Hey Guys I know this is unrelated to the current topic of who should get a renewal, but I'm looking to try and collect some figuarts, but I don't exactly know what figures to get, so any recommendations?

Just buy whatever one you want. You like a character that has a figuart? Go buy that one.

Any Ryuki Figuarts - pretty much the gold standard for SHF releases. Unfortunately some have been out of stock at major retailers for some time so their prices are going up (Ouja) or skyrocketing (Knight + Darkwing).
Any Gaim Figuarts - similar to Ryuki's, overall a solid bunch. With Bluefin not importing anything, unfortunately these won't necessarily be cheap.
Kabuto renewal - big upgrade from the original
G3X - Nice figure with a nice accessory count, was re-released not that long ago and has become quite cheap to acquire
Any Blade Figuarts - the four main riders have all been released at retail and the recent exclusives can all be had for not-bad prices. Similar quality in all to the Ryuki/Gaim Figuarts.
Wizard Infinity Style - prettiest of the Wizard Figuarts, and free of the QC issues that affected Wizard Flame Style
