what we see new at the TN (especially in the last years) often is not what we see on sale in may and june. I assume Lymnades, a god warrior or even Thanatos are still more probable than we have seen at the TN.

Whale Moses, for his bigger body,was difficult for Bandai (and for "difficult" i mean to propose on sale at a good price, for Bandai nothing is impossible to make, the difficult is in costs). Then we have seen Jamian, and they sold it. Now we see Capella. And i am start to think they change direction, they are going for characters easy to make in silver saints line. We'll see.

Anyway a better Tamashii Nations than the 2019 edition.

With Bandai everything is possible. In 2010 we have seen V1 and god cloth at the same time, for example Hyoga in god cloth in july and Hyoga in V1 in october. Using logic i can assume one Pegasus in the last semester of 2020, and one Pegasus in the first of 2021. Or all together for the 10th anniversary of EX line... I assume Odin Seiya could be one of the last releases for the god warriors line, that if it continues with this rythm will end in 2024. At this point at the end of god warrios line i won't be surprised if we will see the v1 in ex line.

Ok. No Lymnades, no new god warrior. Maybe the next releases (except Shura revival) are not in this Tamashii. Or Bandai is stretching his calendar as usual. Auriga is good news, but maybe this (plus the abscence of bronze minor revival) means the new management abandoned some projects? I'm referring obviously to the idea we made about oversized myth that could bring to us Geki Revival, Moses, etc...let's hope not. Minos OCE and Aiacos OCE will be the new Aquarius Hyoga and Libra Shiryu: Bandai wil use them to fill some empty months in the calendar. Pegasus God cloth seems still in a early stage for the cloth (seems to me too large, not very EX style). Pegasus V3 seems more ready to be sold. But who knows what they are thinking. For sure they couldn't let the V3 cloth not upgraded. They choose to made them in EX series instead of Revival as the V1 cloth (and let's think about that for the future).

i'm thinking if the notes (blue point or red point if you click info comes out) are random or it means something. PegasusGod cloth has it, but Pegasus V3 not.

uhm these new 24K could be the new exclusive of the Tamashii Shop in Tokyo. Otherwise i don't know how they can sell them.

Guys, i think this could be the year of the corona...saints. sorry, i leave

You know that if they have the chance to make a recolor they take it. Thanatos, Hypnos and the god cloth will be made anyway. The colors of the OCE version of Hades are my favourite. But we never know with Bandai, surely the OCE version is the more logic option.

I agree. Usually the commemorative figures are announced all together in the months of the preorder, so i think @Loranzois right: it could be in a Tamashii Features or simply online. For Thanatos (or Hypnos) i think it is already programmed. Maybe the prototype is not ready for TN Museum, but next year marina shogun will end, and a slot needs to be filled with a release. Maybe they will do 3 god warriors instead of the 2, but i think they will release Lymnades then Thanatos in the second part of the year. I think that Bandai is already playing on a safe side: the first 4 months of the year are filled with repaint or re-issued figures. The calendar will follow the usual rythm i think: 2 god warriors EX, Lymnades EX, another figure from Elysion EX. 2 classics, and the more repaint or recycled figures. Commemoratives are always useless recolor, except Athena for the 10th of classics and Pegasus 5th movie of 15th of classics.

You think it's too early to think to 10th anniversary of EX line in Tamashii Nations Museum? I suppose in the commemorative figures we can see special recolors of Hades and Poseidon.

I hope in 2021 they will finally end that golden bronze with the re-issue (noti in Japan) of Ikki and Shiryu.

Finally!

Let's remember that many news are for dispaly only as much as Shadow Sagittarius, the spin off (more fan fictions because they are not canon) figures, and so many others we have seen in the past. Let's just hope Bandai in 2021 will close some line with the releases that we miss.

correct me if i'm wrong (and i know you will ): Bandai TWS preorders for march are still unknown. https://tamashii.jp/item_schedule/202103/ Maybe, like the magazines, the schedule will come later than usual. EDIT: For the preorder anyway we are still in schedule: Rhada OCE was on september 3.

2 revival in the first two months of the year. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's a changement in the strategy of Bandai because they changed the responsible of the line. If you want to propose secondary characters you need to re-issue the main characters for the entry level: people that never collect saint cloth myth and they can't start if they don't find the bronze saints or the gold saints in the stores.

Revival of Ikki V2 is maybe to prepare the announcemente of Lymnades EX, that is the last of marina shogun, so not a great surprise. So for now 2021 in two months is 2 revival and a recolor. Bandai for the cash!

Ok, march: let's save some money! EDIT: actually, it's february. So there still a chance for a TWS in march.

The only chance yo have it, i think, it will be when the Final Edition of the manga of Saint Seiya will be released in Japan. It was supposed to be released this summer, but it was postponed. Let's see in the future if this delay affected the release of the myth too.

The silver saint needs more a revival/EX version is Lizard Misty.

Yes, Orphee has a lot of room for improvement.

considering the other anniversary figures maybe OCE Metal Body Hades, Poseidon and Pegasus God Cloth (if it will be released). In the case of classics we had ACE, just because they released oce version before. But it could be even something new like Athena was for 10th anniversary and Pegasus Tenkai was for classics 15th anniversary. Lost what?

At the situation of today (considering the lines started) these are the figures i expect to see in the next years. God Warriors EX: Phekda Thor, Alioth Fenrir, Benetnasch Mime, Megres Alberich, Alcor Bud, Odin Seiya. Total: 6 Marina Shogun EX: Lymnades Kaysa. Total: 1 Elysion EX Metal Body: God of Death Thanatos, God of Sleep Hypnos, Pegasus Seiya God Cloth,Dragon Shiryu God Cloth, Cygnus Hyoga God Cloth, Andromeda Shun God Cloth, Phoenix Ikki God Cloth. Total: 7 Gold (bronze) Saints EX: Leo Ikki, Virgo Shun. Total: 2 Golden Bronze V2 EX: Dragon Shiryu, Phoenix Ikki. Total: 2 Gold OCE EX: Taurus Aldebaran. Total: 1 Surplices OCE EX Metal Body: Griffin Minos, Garuda Aiacos, Hades. Total: 3 EX Figures Total: 22 Surplices Specter: Minotaurus Gordon, Basilisk Shilfield, Cyclops Gigant. Total: 3 Silver Saints: Whale Moses, Hound Asterion, Centaurus Babel, Auriga Capella. Total: 4 Revival (no re-issues): Bear Geki, Lionet Ban, Wolf Nachi, Hydra Ichi. Total: 4 Classic Figure Total: 11 Grand Total: 33 (almost three years of releases...for other stuff we will see in 2024, or maybe the next month with Bandai you could never tell) My speculations. Recolors: as many times said in this topic figures from Elysion line could have all an OCE version. I could add Poseidon too at this list. Revival: if Unicorn Jabu sold badly maybe we could see other characters instead of bronze saints. Women: i haven't put Athena because we don't know if bandai will release a woman body in the EX line. If not we could see a revival version. Also possible a revival version of Thetis, Marin and Shaina. Other characters: one shot characters are always possible. Maybe we won't see Gigant and instead Niobe. Or maybe we won't see one or two of the silver saints i put and instead we will have Cepheus Dedalus/Albior. Manga Version: when the final edition of the manga will be available? Have i forgotten something?

no but i would buy it, i bought way worst things

revival and recolor are necessary for the survival of the line, because they cost almost zero to Bandai in production. We will see the usual amount of new things, but "refritos" will always be around.
