S.H.Figuarts Thread: G4!

[da0utlaw]

The only issue I know of currently is that Figuarts doesn't make real-people figures. The closest we ever got was 19-year-old Hana. I don't know what rules there are for Bandai and their development with Figuarts--maybe their sculptors just can't do real human faces, or maybe there's a legal issue?

Although there are plans to release the heroes in their Ranger uniforms, there won’t be any human counterparts due to the costs and other complexities involved in acquiring image rights from the actors – but characters like Doggy Kruger are a possibility.

With SHF Hana, it was convenient since they already had anime-fied version of Hana here: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN950111 plus, if I had to take a WILD guess, dropping out of Kamen Rider Den-O negated whatever image restriction Yuriko Shiratori had on Bandai. Don't take my word for it though, Im just guessing.

So did Bandai had the same issue when they released Girls In Uniform candy toys?

He wont get a re-release. He's exclusive.

Never stopped New Den-O. Yeah, he's a different figure since it's the Trilogy Version, but it's still the same character.

Eternal would have to become super sought after. I suppose they could pull a Crystal Skull on us. A retooled version though still exclusive. Eternal T1 ver.

So Eternal is lost...eternally?

 

[DoGu]

True, but Eternal's not as popular as New Den-O, or is he?

 

[musashi03]

We could never really know for sure, Eternal could suddenly pop up in any of the upcoming Rider movies which may affect his popularity or whatnot. All I'm saying is, this isn't a closed case, things can still change and being an exclusive doesn't really equate to not getting any re-release at all.
