Renewal Den-O wouldn't surprise me one bit. It's not the oldest mold, and certainly a good figure, but he's so popular that I can definitely see him getting one. That being said, Blade would be the dumbest, most hilarious Renewal they could do. I have zero clue why they would try to do that. That mold is both super new and pretty fantastic as is.

I was going to post this as well. Real weird. Wonder if the shipment got delayed somehow. Oh well, just glad I'm not the only one.

S.H Figuarts Den-O Sword form is already show accurate and has good articulation. Doing a renewal of Den-O would be a waste of time and money. Not to mention he's still easy to find on the market. I think Blade needs another reissue since the prices for him went up in the last year or two. Faiz, W and OOO need a renewal more then anything else in my opinion.

Ryuki and Blade reissues would already be profitable, a new version of either would be stupid

We need Kiva.

I have W and 555 and can live with them

You people think too much like collectors and not enough like a multi-million toy company.

Shinkocchou Seihous are more than likely to be profitable regardless of how old the original figure is (and even they're still good, they're all 2-3 years old now). Japanese collectors are ALL about accuracy (which is why statues and RAHs are popular), so regardless of how "accurate" a figure is it isn't going to match up to figures which are sculpted on MINIATURE SKELETONS.

Hell, I'm skeptical Blade, Den-O and Ryuki are gonna get them any time soon but see a few silhouettes and you act like Bandai are suddenly out for your money more than they ever were to begin with.

That, and no-one's forcing you to get the things anyway. If you have the originals and are happy with them why is this even a concern.

Adding to that the SS wont fit with the rest of your regular collection of those shows. They are more meant as standalone pieces in their own little subline.

If you have Shinkochhu Seihos of Blade or Ryuki or Den-O they will look out of place with the already released Forms and Riders from those respective shows.

So its not really like you have to get those or get rid of the ones you already have when they make them.

Also just a reminder, so far there's only been 2 Shinkocchou Seihou releases a year (3 should Decade make it out this year). By the time they get around to doing these another 2 years or so could have past and the original figures will be even older and potentially dated.

Speaking of...
Did anyone order through bluefin/Amazon for kuuga?

They still haven't shipped preorders...it's been a month since their estimated release date after which hey changed it to "temporally out of stock"

I have asked bluefin several times what the deal is but they never respond.

Yeah, I would say renewals of any character really shouldn't make anyone upset. If you're fine with the original release, that's quite alright. That's how I feel about Faiz.

Although personally, I'd rather them tackle W, OOO, Wizard and Kiva before anyone else.

Couldnt back this one up more.

When I moved to my new place and had to set up my figuarts shelf I grew a new hatred for that figure :lol

Because either people think these characters are "wasted slots" in the mistaken belief they are getting a new figure at the expense of a character they want or they feel "forced" to "upgrade".
