You're right of course, but I just think they want to avoid putting two Shinkocchou Seihou figures up so close to each other since it looked like they avoided it in the past.

They could put them up at the same time and release Den-O later, but I think with confirming Fang Joker we see Sword Form up for pre-order in January.

The exception to that seems when they go the Premium Bandai route, but Den-O is such a popular character that I don't see them going that route. Maybe for someone like Hana or one of the other Taros but not a titular character.

If Seihou Sword form is gonna be a thing I think it'd be most likely that we'll see him go up for pre-order, January or February pre order time seems likely.

Yup, Sword form is pretty much guaranteed to be a retail release.

It depends on how crazy Sword form sells, we got stuff like Accel and Skull at retail after it seemed like only main Riders would get released through retail.

The Taros are so popular I could see them at retail. Especially Momotaros.

What if they actually release Sword form and Momotaros in a two-pack with an optional single release for Sword Form? That would be pretty cool IMO.
