Astra renewal! Yes!!!!!!

Hello all,

I was wondering is Taro going to be re-released or is there a renewal version coming?

Isn't Taro recent enough to be using the renewal mold?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah Taro wouldn't require a renewal, he only came out last year and it's a pretty great figure. Maybe a re-release but I'm not sure Taro is that in demand currently.

Taro is already scheduled for a reissue in May in Japan, about June via Bluefin.

Now that Bluefin can release Showa Ultra-Acts, it may be that US demand is part of what's prompting all the reissues this year (whereas Zoffy, for example, is still so in-demand despite being reissued already).

Excellent

Thank you

No chain on Astra's leg? Does he include Leo's mantle?

Yeh, Astra does include Leo's mantle, and yeh i noticed the missing chain as well but, I think something similar happen with Kyoryu Gold and Bandai added it later.

However, dont quote me for it as it was a while ago so im not 100% sure.

Hopefully chain is included, as shown in the first images. The King's Mantle for Ultraman Leo looks superb in the official pics :cool:

Good Ultra-Act day, preordered Astra and these two arrived:


Edit: the chain "re-appears" in the official pics:
