Yea. But dat Vegeto and SSJ3 Goku! Those I need.

Instead of reissuing Blade, they do a stupid broken version? It's cool for fans who want to complete everything. I do wish that they reissue the normal edition. Some times Tamashii choices for web exclusives confuses me like the reissues of Faiz and Amazon where you have to buy the bike in order to buy them as web exclusives.

Blade already got reissued though so no point reissuing another time

Exactly. And this is a limited web exclusive for the Blade completionists out there. Regular Blades can still be found elsewhere for those interested.

So, is this Blade going to include what the original Blade release had (splayed cards for the Rouser, broken earth to insert the rouser into the ground, lightning effects) or is it just a vanilla release with a new head?

Not sure yet, but my money's on bare bones accessories with the new head.

While we are on the topic of renewals, I'm starting to collect the main Heisei riders and I'm curious about which ones may be up for renewal so I don't buy the old models. Aside from Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, and now Kuuga; should I hold off on buying anything Decade and earlier?

I would say you should definitely pick up Ryuki, that mold/line is IMO the best Figuarts has to offer. As for the rest, I say if you like the suit/character/show, go ahead and pick the SHF up. The only ones I'd stay weary of our probably Agito, Decade, W, and OOOs.

That Blade with his broken face figure is totally badass. I love it.

I figured since Ryuki is fairly recent it should be on par with the new models so that is a buy for me. The only reason I wouldn't pick up just anyone I like is because if they release a newer one I'll be kicking myself. Definitely waiting on those four you mentioned as they could be improved and just might be.
