I thibk the problem with Rider SHFs being stingy is because Tamashii stetches themselves thin, and has access to Marvel and Star Wars properties (DBZ too) , and it became their focus because that one garners more money compared to Rider. Hell take a look at SHF subreddit. Most of the discussions there are about DBZ SHFs.

At this rate Rider was only made because they were the one who started it.

Juggler reissue!!! Hell yeah

There's also this. Which shows the range of what series is getting stuff.

Fingers crossed for SHFSS Saga

I'm willing to bet licenses that's not Rider or DBZ as being their focus is untrue. I've seen people have much more gripes towards the QC of Marvel and Starwars figuarts than it is on DBZ and Rider. It's pretty telling in the way how the face-printed heads are handled too. SHFSS Ankh and Ixa's Takeda head look pretty good in the promo pics and Ankh has facial expressions too. The Marvel figures (especially the new Tony Stark one) have been very dodgy and only comes with a "looking to the side" head.

P-Bandai isn't inherently bad, I just wish the means to access it was better. Something like a dedicated distributor to more countries (Like Bluefin but not USA-only).

Is there also one for Ultraman?

Tamashii Nations already put out teasers images for their "Ultra Arts"

Hmmm...Rider-wise I'll make my predictions/hopes:

Saber: Buster, Espada and Caliber at the very minimum. That plus Kenzan and Slash at the max but I doubt we'll see those two right now.

Zero One: Ark-Zero I'm sure. Considering we have the main riders out. Would also like to see Ikazuchi and Naki at least just so MetsubouJinrai is fully-repped. Zero-Two would also be awesome but not expected.

Black: We already know we'll see SS Black. Would love at least a tease of RX since we know ShadowMoon is most likely planned but not in the proto stage yet.

Den-O: Rod/Axe Form and we'll probably learn if it'll be single set release only or if they'll offer both the figure set and an optional armor-only set...It's a pipe dream for sure, but I'd love it if they offered that. Also Zeronos will probably be a good possibility.

OOO: PuToTyra and SaGoZou for sure since they're our missing forms. I expect the latter more than the former if anything. Also Birth. Please Birth.

Kiva: Dark Kiva again, Emperor Kiva and Saga are reasonable expectations.


Obviously like 90% of this won't even be hinted at let alone happen. A fan can dream.

Saga's a pipe dream, but I'll at least hope for a release date for Dark Kiva. I sold my original one already, that Seihou better actually happen lol.

Yes.

@Topic:

Interesting teasers. Geed was expected but cool nonetheless, Base Form Z wasn't on my radar 100% but its great to see he's there. This might be our "accessory pack" release with extra effect parts for Alpha Edge.

Juggler is nice but I have the Orb one and don’t need two.

For the Rider stuff, more Kiva sounds fine by me. Kiva Emperor Form is probably a safe bet, but I’d love to see Saga and Rising Ixa as well.

If we're getting a Normal Z as a figure, then I'll likely cancel my preorder for Alpha Edge.

I was really hoping for a re-release of Juggler. So... hell yeah.

Huh. The rest were known, but... OG Ultraman? What is there to do? B-type??? I wouldn't mind seeing more Kaijin, but-- OOOOOH that trillion flame Zetton. Right. Makes sense now.
