I've been meaning to pick up some more Space Sheriff stuff but the issues put me off.. not sure if I should wait to pick up the other characters or see what Bandai does after Renewal Gavan. Thing is, it looks Bandai stands behind the other two and renewal Gavan is meant to go with them? I can never understand Bandai. Shoot, did I just go off topic?

Well anyway, I hope Janperson and Kabutak are released and are not just solo releases.

What I see on Renewal Gavan is full range hips that look like they work much better than the original. Hopefully they aren't as prone to loosening either. The sculpt on the torso appears to be much more robust and accurate as well, especially the detailing around the chest and shoulder area. The wrists are hopefully modified as well as the original 4 Space Sheriff releases all have rather thin brittle wrist ball joints. I've personally experienced a couple breaks with them. Overall it appears to be a great improvement.

I doubt the push for figures mean much for home video release. Even if it did those types of releases are generally very expensive. Prohibitively so for sub groups which do their work for free as well. But if the material ever did get out there in DVD/Blu-Ray form it would definitely increase the likelihood of subs.
