Do you think they will ever do Figuarts of the Blade and Kiva cast?

Actually... Last I checked it was still with Bluefin in conjunction with BoA. They are still trying to get distribution rights to KR and Sentai exclusives, but it just ain't happening like they have been with D-Arts and Monsterarts (unless it's DBZ or Tiger and Bunny related).

Why wouldn't they?

They'll get there eventually. We saw Figuarts Saga at a convention back in 2010, but it hasn't really showed up again since then. Bandai tends to do Figuarts from a series in waves and right now the three waves they're working on are Fourze (natch), Ryuki, and the Showa era. Once they finish/suspend one of those we'll see them move on to a different show (possibly Den-O, if Climax and Sword forms are any indication). We will eventually get all the Riders done, though.

I wouldn't hold my breath for Blade or Hibiki figures, though. Those two lines had the lowest toy sales of the Heisei era and are clearly the lowest priority for the Figuarts line. That said, Bandai has enjoyed pulling surprise final form Riders out of its butt around Christmas, so it wouldn't shock me too much if King Form suddenly appears at a product unveiling this fall.

But Blade is one of the best KR series out there period, if not the best, so they better do Figuarts of them!

Hibiki on th eother hand is one of the worst series, if not the worst. I would rather watch Den-O again than suffer through another episode of Hibiki.

BTW, Otoya, what is that green monster thing next to the two green Kamen Riders on the right-hand side of your sig?

EDIT: I just realized that I own a Souchaku Hensihin Kamen Rider Ouja I never opened. I just did, and he is pretty awesome and feels solid. Are the Blade and Kiva ones of this series solid? Myabe I will just go for those versions.

I don't have any Ryuki SHs, but the Den-O and Kiva ones are WAY better than the single SH TheBee I have. The poseability is much closer to figuarts, the main weaknesses being the hands, and the ankles. There's no poseability to the ankles, and the articulated hands suck at holding things.
I'm glad I got that big TRU exclusive SH Den-O five pack, because it includes a new molded holding-things hand for each of the four main forms.
But anyway, the later SH are pretty good, but compared to most figuarts, they're still pretty weak. The Ryuki SHFs are fantastic, you should see about getting one, Ouja is probably the cheapest, having fewer, and smaller accessories, but he's pretty awesome, still.

Blade was awesome, yeah. But the toy sales were still subpar.

I disagree with you vehemently but don't feel like arguing about it.

I have three days left of free Amazon Prime via Amazon Student.

Suggest a Figuart for me to buy.

Go!

(Not that I probably totally won't make use of the next three years of having Prime half off. :3)
