Discussion for all Non-Tokusatsu related SH Figuarts should go here. Including SHF's such as:

DBZ
Tiger & Bunny
One Piece
Pretty Cure
Accel World
Daft Punk
Mario
Etc.

EDIT 2/6/14:
Bandai has recently begun folding characters from it's D-Arts line into SH Figuarts. This thread will now be good for such releases including Lucario, Imperialdramon, etc. and will retroactively cover the D-Arts line as well.

From a strictly toyetic POV, the One Piece figuarts were terrible and I hope that it is never revisited. The proportions of the One Piece characters do not lend themselves well to a fully poseable line like Figuarts.

I often wondered why Tamashii stopped with One Piece SH Figuarts and instead made Figuarts ZERO statues. I guess this is why.

I'm hoping Tamashii makes SH Figuarts Ronin Warriors with armor molded on, and swappable heads. Have the unarmored figures as TWE's. I have the Armor Plus Rekka and Inferno Ryo's but find the armor too be finnicky.

SH Figuarts Tekkaman Blade, and GUYVER would be incredibly cool too. Also YuYu Hakusho!

Guyver would fall firmly in the realm of Toku though bro.

I actually hope for the really cool complimentary stuff like a Figuarts Koji Kabuto (from Mazinger Z/Mazinkaiser) or a Duke Freed (from Grendizer) since Bandai does own the rights to make the Bots in their Soul of Chogokin line.

There are also quite a few characters from the Tatsunoko Productions stuff I'd like to see like Casshern, Tekkaman like you mention and maybe some of the Gatchaman dudes.

Really? How so? Is it because of the live action Mark Hamill movies?

Complimentary characters would definitely be cool.

GATCHAMAN Figuarts are a must! Need Joe! Barely watched that series but Joe is bad ass. Oother cool characters for SH Figuarts

Vampire Hunter D
8 Man
Ultimate Muscle

I am hoping for the complete opposite. I want them to revisit and learn from their mistakes and give us some stellar figures.

I will NEVER touch those stupid statues. I want some poseable figures for One Piece characters and I have faith it can totally work.

if they ever made a Guyver Figuart...oh my lord I would be all over that..

As would I, bet they would rival the MaxFactory ones too.

I'm not sure how licenses work in Japan but its always possible to see characters from an anime appearing in 2 different toylines. During the height of the Evangelion RE: movie craze I remember seeing Rei, Asuka, and Mari being made into Figmas and Revoltechs.

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 know no one is on board with me, but I want a YuGiOh Figuart, specifically, the Pharoah/Yami Yugi.
He was so gleefully insane in the manga I couldn't help but love him (Group of seniors steal your spot at school fair? Send their group leader to the hospital and take it back!), and I would love to have a Figuart of him stalking my Riders

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