Man, I really want a base form Ultraman Z; especially after foolishly skipping out on Alpha Edge

I definitely think they're gonna do Base Z. Like Orb Origin it's ended up becoming the base form Z is characterised as rather than Alpha Edge, so it will come out -- and judging by it and Galaxy Rising being the last Z-related Tamashii Nations figuarts not yet confirmed, I'm betting we'll hear confirmation for it sooner rather than later!

Putotyra is coming, but they really like to drag their feet on final forms. I can also see Super Tatoba and Burakawani happening especially with how they've really put an emphasis on the combo change gimmick! Personally, though? My pipe dream is Aqua. I'd love love love to see him finally get his dues, and apparently this line has been popular, so... fingers crossed!

Zero-one has proven to be popular and could def see all characters released just like the Build figuarts but oh wait still no Build Genius despite every other form including the movie ones getting confirmed back to back.

I'm very happy with the amount of stuff showed off becoming a reality more and more but was just pointing out how we still have the problem with figuarts of final forms getting released is still a problem and don't know why or at least now why they're dragging them out over the non-canon/alternate forms.

Final Forms is something they really, really, reaaally like taking their time with for some reason! I think the best comparison we can draw is Ex-Aid, where Muteki came out fairly recently and by all indications is literally the last release of the line! They threw out even things like Gamedeus Cronus, but Ex-Aid's ultimate form was kept until the last minute. Aside from that release of Dangerous Zombie X-0 which I feel was just trying to cash in on the last remnants of Genmmania. It's honestly why I'm surprised to see Metal Cluster so early; usually they wait a while on the main rider's penultimate form to space things out!

Seihou isn't immune to it, either -- we got a strong enough start years ago with Kuuga Ultimate and Kabuto Hyper but we only just recently got Decade Complete despite Seihou Decade debuting around the same time as those guys. We still haven't gotten Hibiki Armed or Agito Shining either - though, fair enough, not very popular guys - and we STILL have yet to see W Xtreme, despite that having two easy recolours that would sell very easily! This company really works in mysterious ways.
