I agree with you that the starter will have similar contents to the army box a la USAriadna, but personally I would say that it is more likely that we will see Ryuken and Oniwaban than 2 Ryuken. Starter boxes, to my knowledge, generally include 3 basic infantry models, two more specialized, harder hitting models, and a big cool toy that has the option of being an LT. So we'll definitely see 3 Keisotsu, probably the Kempeitai, one of the Ryuken (hopefully the SMG one since the HRL can be fairly easily proxied by a Raiden which most old JSA players have), and the Oniwaban cause it's the only other model in the box other than Kuroshi Rider that can be an LT. And we will likely see Kuroshi Rider and the Daiyokai get separate releases later on down the road.
I think it more likely to be Kempeitai, 3xKeisotsu, Oniwaban and Kuroshi in a starter. With the Ryuken being a dual blister and the Daiyokai a box (probably with alt arm options).
Standalone Keisotsu SWC box, sure. HMG, ML, and hacker. (Why did CB have to get rid of the Keisotsu Sniper and LGL profiles?!?) I'd be very surprised if the starter box got either the Daiyokai or Kuroshi Rider. Both are big and beefy models with lots of metal to them. Ninjas seem to sell well, regardless of other details, so unless CB is getting them digitally resculpted, I don't think it's likely. I mean, CB is the only place to go for sci-fi cyberninjas.
If I may resurrect this thread... What do you guys think about the Tokusetsu and the Domaru? Do you expect them to be resculpted soon, or would you consider them safe to buy now?
safe to buy. the Domaru box is absolutely beautiful (and sold out everywhere from what I've heard). the tokusetsu are good enough, they're N3 sculpts.
As @MikeTheScrivener stated, they are current and are safe to buy. Coming up are the Tankos and Keisotsu SWC, so those are safe. And I think the Yu Jing remotes will be for the most part.
If you don't like them then you can get the new Yu Jing support pack that is being released in June along with the Keisotsu Butai box.
Oh, I do like them! But I thought that, maybe, something else was being planned... What about Shinobu Kitsune? Could she get resculpted?
she is rather old - but probably not. she was on the "Buy" list CB came out with when they were trying to sell the JSA big box.
Yes. I don't think it's coincidence that the "Buy" list included all curretly released models, with pictures, except for the Tanko Box, the Keisotsu Box and the Aragoto Box. And we know that those are coming out this year, so...
