As I understand it, Type Trideron was a very premium product at the time. All the tampo printing, paint applications, and accessories made it a very good value figure that Bandai was barely making anything on. Those kind of rumors lead to basically guaranteeing the figure would never get reprinted. Not to mention the dubious availability of Final Forms in general.
I must admit that its one of my least favorite Heisei final forms (I'm way more partial to Type Formula), but again as time goes on I appreciate it more now.

Tridoron is a Final Form, we all know those FF/Super Forms are wanted,and his pretty red paint job is seemingly popular overall. I?m stoked I found them as quickly and relatively reasonably priced, compared to the 172.00 I was offered on the ol? EBay..

Still I find it strange that this had a much lower production for both versions than say... Grateful. A to reprinting: Bandai generally doesn't do reprints of TWE figures anyway, outside of Godzilla. So that feels a bit irrelevant to me.

^ this.
So far the only actual TWE reprint of a figuart has been Ohma Zi-O, and that was the result of a fan poll. One could argue the upcoming Blu-Ray set LunaTrigger and HeatMetal count but both are noted to have new paint jobs so they can’t really be considered reprints. So far reissues that we have had have been Retail Kamen Rider releases or “anniversary” versions like 50th Ichigo and Nigo (both of which have paint job changes) or Wizard (which does have a new stand, but is largely unchanged from the original SS)

It's strange, because right next to it is SHF Ultraman which DOES consistently do reprints - and a whole load of them at that, without any need for 'anniversary edition' branding and an extra stand. Granted, I haven't seen them do any Preban reprints...
They also have new effect parts and stands

I'm sure that if I understood why Bandai hates the idea of making money so much, I'd be a much richer woman than I am currently.

Well, got the shipping charge from NNG for Jeanne, now to wait for them to actually ship her.
Oi, if this is any indication on how they handle exclusives I might get Suiko no Shin just in time to get charged for the US release versions I'm getting from Tokullector and BBTS.

Getting some toys for a change.
Still missing Juggler for the last Z component, skipped the metallic Alpha Edge since the Z effect didn't seem necessary, and a new Sevenger and Windom coming soon and unless I pick the mini Figuarts Haruki or the 3rd party backdrop then I'd be done with all Ultraman Z releases. |
