Excellent pictures everyone! On exclusives, I think Bandai has occassionally rereleased exclusives, but there's always a slight change. I could see them releasing Black Blaze with Inferno. I hope for a single Black Blaze (or twin White/Black Blaze pack) since I have no interest in Inferno.
Especially for the people who already have Inferno, a pack-in of Black Blaze with a re-release of Inferno makes little sense.
Nope. Exclusives dont get re-releases. Thats why they are called exclusives. They are made to order. Once they are gone they're gone. The same character may get released again but it wont be the same design or color of that character.
According to Figure王 magazine there's a new version of Recca coming out in October. (Gloss Version) (9) Armor Plus 輝煌帝烈火(Gloss Ver) 8,715Yen連稅; Figure王 article
Well, at least the Armor Plus line didn't end with Kento. Maybe there's still hope for the Warlords yet... I already have three Ryo's (2 red 1 white), so I don't need another.
A thought just came to me. I couldn't understand why they would want to release yet another Ryo, this time a "gloss" version when we basically already have that in the "power up" release, but then it hit me. All past releases aside, this one figure will be what makes or breaks the release of the Dark Warlords. Why else would they release the same figure for a third time? I think they are testing us to see just how bad we want the others by doing this. Sure, I hoped that theory would be the case with Black Blaze's release, but who knows. Also, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a Tekkaman Blade gloss version?
