Weirdly enough, the official image Tamashii is using to "reveal" Seihou Decade Kuuga here, is a brand new shot that wasn't actually in the batch of images for the original release. It would be quite odd of them to do a new set of official images for this figure if there were indeed no changes. As we know in the case of straight up re-issues, official images are identical to the first release. There's a chance this one comes with some sort of new accessories, or else what exactly was the point of new images?

I don't know, these D-Arts Pokémon "reissues" also seem largely if not completely unchanged from the originals, yet they get a new name, packaging and stock images.

But let's wait and see, they never did something like this for Seihou’s before; there might be a unique catch to this version.

EDIT:

Technically incorrect, Kuuga himself also was reissued three months after his initial release, I think that was because his bike came out during that time so they gave the main figure another run.

The Pokemon ones are a pretty different scenario altogether though, because that could ultimately come down to Tamashii Nations not wanting to put the name of a dead line back on the shelves any more. From what I gather Mewtwo has a tweaked colour scheme, it’s just practically impossible to see without a direct comparison. The accessory at the very least is a different colour.

I mean...

He's got you there :lol

New accessory, new official images. My money is on the new Kuuga coming with a Decadriver. Because the though that it comes with something awesome like Kuuga Gouram FFR parts is too outrageous to be possible :(

I think all of the pokemon are different colors. It kinda boring releasing the same pokes again. With the amount of pokemon there are now they could release so many better ones.

So where is the kuuga photos for this release would like to see the difference anyone have a link?

... Saved :p

The one in the first post, that little preview pic is all we've got so far.

It is and it's entirely new. It's a different pose and features totally different lighting than the original photos for the first release. I'm sure more will be released in the next week.

I still think the possibility is out there for stuff like Kivala, or maybe something absolutely insane like the GM-01! ... though if that happens, I'll even more desperately need Seihou G3-X

(she btw)

WAIT IT'S RETAIL?!

Agreed :)

Yeah, that picture I posted lists all the retail releases for October that'll go live with the next pre-order drop. Except the Valkyrie robot, that’s a November release.
