My wallet's gonna hate me though because it means I'll be investing in figures I otherwise wouldn't care much for like Sagohzo and Ratoratah, lol.

One thing I'd like to bring up though: this solves the mystery of why OOO wasn't rereleased in 20 Rider Kicks. ... so what about Fourze and Ghost? I'd say that maybe they don't want it to conflict with the upcoming SICs, but Ryuki still saw a rerelease. Hmmm...

I can't see them doing Ghost since it's already up to par with modern Figuarts standards and the Ghost Figuarts line probably sold worse than any Figuarts line in recent memory. The only justification I can see for it is maybe if they wanted to go back and do a fabric hoodie, similar to Eternal's cape? Outside of that, Ghost doesn't really need a Figuart and I figure from Bandai's perspective, the demand simply isn't there.

Fourze is a definite possibility and he very well could be next in line but I think most people are cool with the current Figuart we have for him, even when compared to modern stuff.

I think we'll see them tackle more Showa stuff, maybe some Secondary Riders. Faiz needs a renewal the most of everyone we have left, but the fact that he's part of the 20th Anniversary line tells me there's probably no plans for a renewal of him currently.
