anyone here have the joe shimamura figuart from the 009 RE:CYBORG movie?

I hope that Imperialdramon is just the tip of the iceberg. With how Digimon doing well in America again, and this year being the 15th anniversary now is the perfect time to kick Digimon off again. I know people hate wishlists, so I won't get into that, but seriously Bandai has a lot of figures they need to make from Digimon so that the series as a whole is represented well.

I hope Naruto is really coming out, it wouldn't surprise me after Imperialdramon. Heck, maybe even Medabots will make a comeback! One can dream.

I can talk about Megaman in here now too, lol. I hope they finally give us some idea if they'll be doing Protoman or not. The beginning of a new year is always so exciting!

I'd love for a Protoman (And Metal Man *Cough*) SHF, but I just want to see more Digimon, personally.

Digimon seems to be making a comeback in the US thanks to Fusion. I've been seeing more ads for it and toys at Target. If there's enough demand for it then it's possible we will get more stuff. Tamashii Nations have made stuff for the US market before.

Sciencefriction · 02-07-2014, 02:00 PM

I feel like with Megaman if they made Protoman I would be fine if they called it a day. There is so much I want, but in the end, they would have at least made the main characters I really want. It's much easier to focus on my Megaman wants as they're very specific. Whereas with Digimon there is so much I want that I can't begin to scratch surface. I want it all, you know? lol. I don't care who they make, just keep making them. Yeah, I have characters I really want, but I think the reality is my favorite Digimon probably aren't on Bandai's to do list at this point. So that's influencing me as well. Once Digimon reaches the point that Megaman has I think it'll be easier to get more invested in the line again. We went from not knowing whether the line was ending soon or not to a revival of sorts.. but I don't feel confident enough to say we're out of the forest yet. Am I speaking gibberish? lol.

That's true, but wouldn't it make more sense to focus on Fusion characters, rather than a 02 character? I mean, yeah, 02 is on Netflix, but it's not the most relevant of choices to make.

Protoman is the most prominent of wants from me, it's just that Metal Man was the character that drew me into Mega Man, so it's kind of sentimental for me

With Digimon, the problem is that there is tons of different media and characters exclusive to those media. The anime, the manga, the games, the cards, all of them having characters and forms of characters that the others don't. With Digimon, we could all make a list of 50 characters we'd want to see as Figuarts and it would be a miracle if even 10 are identical. It's crazy the number of options there are.

However, I do have one request. Please, Bandai, don't go overboard on the Veemon forms. He has, like, 5 different evolution lines, 2 of which are Royal Knights and 1 of which started the group, and yet we got Imperialdramon Fighter Mode? *Groans*

Protoman would be neat.

I really want them to make an Anguimon, because I really like his design. I also want more Persona human characters, since Max Factory never gave us a complete cast. (That said, I wouldn't mind some more Personas as well.)

Sciencefriction · 02-07-2014, 02:40 PM

Metal Man would be awesome, I agree. I'd be happy to get just one Megaman villain in SHF at this point.

You got it.. Digimon is tough. I love Imperialdramon, I think given how popular Omegamon is it was a logical choice. It's not the figure I would have picked personally, though I think he's awesome, but it makes sense. I imagine we'll eventually Shoutmon X4, but I would prefer to see at least Diaboramon before that. As well as Agunimon and Lobomon, though Susanoomon is more likely if we get anything from Frontier at all.

Matrixbeast · 02-07-2014, 03:11 PM

While I'd love it, Diaboromon's wire-like limbs wouldn't really fit for an articulated figure. Diaboromon is kind of limited to SHF Zero.

As for possible Frontier characters, Susanoomon is the most likely candidate, I agree. While I'd personally prefer Beetlemon, Lowemon, or Korikakumon, Susanoomon feels like it closer represents what the Digimon figures aim for with their character picks.

Sciencefriction · 02-07-2014, 03:16 PM

I don't have a preference to how Diaboromon is released, just that he is. lol. FZ would be fine.

I think so far every Digimon figure released has been a Mega level Digimon right? So it's probably a pipe dream to think Bandai will make Rookie, Champion, or Ultimate level Digimon. I really wish they would though. Mega's are awesome, but to not make any other levels is really short sighted.
