Wow, okay! Utterly insane pick, but I guess that's been the theme of SHF these past few weeks since they dropped the Unfettered Shogun seihou

It's nice to see them branching out and getting a bit more experimental with the line again, at least.

Not really. These designs at their core are not new. For a while Tsubaraya has been trying to gain greater prominence in the chinese market. To this end they've been trying to create products that cater to chinese ideas and sensibilities. They started off i think about a year or so ago to increase their presence by releasing Bandai Entry Grade Ultra kits under the "Ultraman Armor of Legends" line with Ultra kitted out in armor inspired by Chinese mythology. They had Wukong Zero, Zhao Yun Tiga, Nezha Ginga, and LuBu Belial. They had a bunch of art and other material released in chinese markets with these designs. Considering this event is in Shanghai, doesn't suprise me that these designs are now being translated to shf, probably as china exclusives.

Dont get me wrong, Ultra is big in China. Tsubaraya has just been pushing for more prominence in that market since their economic growth makes them a big market for profit.

Can they still market to China when they just banned Ultraman there?

Is the event happening there right now not enough evidence for that?

And as far as I know they removed Ultraman Tiga from local streaming services, they didn't ban the franchise.

There's the Ohinbuster.

Three title cards? One for each release individually and one for a two-pack maybe?

The third one says something along the lines of "for reference only"

[TheRaizin]

If we're getting a two pack, definitely grabbing that one instead of having to go for them separately. Would be odd to have only Revi on a shelf for a period of time.
