Yeahhh... I'm kind of tempted by Den-O... but that's about it. Rest are I have or are too outdated. Hell, even Den-O kind of is and so I'll probably just wait for an SS release.

I need an Ex Aid and the "its never gonna happen " Kiva.

I just got Ghost a month or two ago so Im in no rush to get another.
OOO could be tempting though.

I'm guessing that Tamashii has three categories (which decidedly line up with the back/middle/foreground in the initial rider kicks promo image, except Wizard whose SS was being announced hence being centre stage):
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DjowHQXU0AEBmal.jpg:large

Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Den-O, Gaim, Ex-Aid, Drive, Build are "these guys don't need SS yet so rerelease them"

Kuuga, Agito, Hibiki, Kabuto, Decade, W, Wizard are "these guys have had SS updates", maybe the SS themselves will be rereleased

OOO, Fourze, Ghost are "these guys need SS updates which will be announced as part of Rider Kicks"

Now I don't necessarily agree with all of those assessments myself but that definitely seems to be the groupings!
TL;DR: I'd expect upcoming SS announcements for Ghost, OOO, and Fourze
OOO, and Fourze for sure SS but ghost not a chance. The reason the line sold very badly and it was not popular so won't happen also to soon. I do see Kiva being the last reveal at Tamashii Nations in Oct hoping it will happen.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything from Ghost when it comes to these announcements. Personally I think the figure we got is fine even with its limitations. If he somehow gets a renewal, I'll be shocked.

So it was just reissues of old mold figures...FML There's still a chance for October I guess for Kiva and perhaps OOO as well as Fourze. Btw they could have fixed Build's driver colors like they did with Sparkling, Great Cross-Z, Hazard and Magma but nope...they will just release those.
I don't get why Faiz is there when everyone complained for the weird joints and yet here he is.

I don't understand why they did not sell, because of limitation in movements? The few figures they released look great in my honest opinion but I am not a fan of the Ghost series and that's why I did not go all out, could that also be a factor that it did not sell well? Most people I know bash the series.

Pretty hyped to be able to grab Faiz, may get Ryuki as well, though I do already have Ryuki Survive.

Series wasn't very popular. Low popularity = Low sales.

I enjoyed Ghost personally, but I'm sadly the minority.

I hope they show something cool tomorrow - if their „big announcement” is just these re-releases then I will be pissed. One because they are just re-releases, and two, we know about them already because they were featured in the Figure Oh magazine.

I don't know how much it was the series not being well-regarded and how much it was the (relatively for Figuarts) poor reviews for the figures. Just check out the reviews here on TokuNation, which I thought were fair. The Ghost Figuarts simply weren't up to the standard Bandai had set with Gaim and Drive. In addition to the lousy articulation and the fact that the figure only looks good with the arms in one of a few neutral positions, the arms also had a tendency to come apart. I'm assuming negative reviews had an impact on sales.
