Other figures I would like to see:
Karas
Casshern.
More Karas.
Skullomania
Viewtiful Joe (And Alastor)
Karas (Seriously).

Actually I mentioned it in the SH Monster Arts thread when I asked if we could see Blue Eyes White Dragon as a Monster Art toy. So yeah, Yu Gi Oh!

If I had the money, I would get the OP Zeros, but I don't, so I am going to stick with the Stylings. Plus, I have a bunch of the Stylings already, so I might as well keep going.

As for Yu-Gi-Oh!, I wouldn't mind Figuarts of Yami Malik, Pharoah Atem, Priest Seto, and Thief Bakura.

Not sure how that would affect certain characters. For example, I really think Rurouni Kenshin characters would look great in fully poseable Figuarts form especially before the Live-Action movie hits and hopefully rekindles a craze in the old property. But right now the only fully poseable RK figure is the atrocious looking Revoltech Kenshin. Yet, we see Bandai releasing a Figuarts Zero version.

So, yeah, I am putting it out there: Rurouni Kenshin Figuarts. C'mon Bandai.

I think that's the plan, when Bluefin was teasing about Kenshin I figure it was beyond Figuarts ZERO, as they were hyping it up. There either was or is an anniversary for Kenshin recently or coming soon and I bet once the movie is out, that's the sweet spot Tamashii is waiting for, for more Kenshin merchandise. Maybe SH Figuarts Kenshin and Samurai X, TWE/Bluefin exclusive alternate colors, and Perfect Model movie Kenshin.

RE: license- it's usually by scale/series

Alright, this may be the most stupid question asked in this thread ever, but you guys will at least know the answer:

How does Bandai's toyline coincide with Bandai's rights with their Namco/Bandai games? I'm just wondering, because it'd be awesome to finally get nice figures of Tekken characters.

I'd say yes but they seemed to have licensed it out to Square Enix's Play Arts Kai

Interestingly enough we see Capcom and SNK characters showing up in their D-Arts line.

Different scale though, Tekken license could be open for D Arts.

[ShockerCon]

Anyone else find it weird that Bandai would make a line dedicated exclusively to just video game characters/robots/robots with metal/giant superheroes/daikaiju, but anime characters, who belong to one of the more well known genre/medium/don't wanna open that bag of worms, have to share a toyline with normal sized spandex wearing superheroes?

And the Bogard figure is actually what made me wonder about some Tekken releases. It'd be fantastic. I saw the protos of the Playarts Kazuya and Jun, and I just wish that they were figuarts MOSTLY for scaling with my other figures.

Monster Arts are for figures who are daikaiju. Simple enough.
D-Arts are for figures that represent digital or robotic characters (Like Omegamon or Metabee) or video game characters (That's pretty much the only explanation for I can think of for Terry Bogard being in the D-Arts line).
Figuarts is for everyone else. It's not specifying anything, so that branding can be used for a variety of characters. Henshin heroes being the most populous, is all :P

As for the Tekken thing, does Bandai have full control over something produced by Namco Bandai?
