Last week, news emerged that a reissue of sorts was planned for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga. Details had been sparse save from the Decade Version designation it was given. Thankfully a full set of official images has just been released via Tamashii Nations.
S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.) will be a part for part reissue of the original Seihou Kuuga Mighty Form with some paint differences. The shade of red used on the Decade Kuuga suit is a bit brighter while the gold accents are a bit deeper as well. This reflects the way the original Kuuga suit changed between filming for the Kuuga TV series and the Decade one. Having been repainted previously, in an attempt to color match the suit to it’s original scheme, Toei did miss the mark a little. This resulted in a subtly unique version of Kuuga for Decade, and this figure represents that.
Many collectors who missed out on the original Seihou Kuuga release will undoubtedly be happy to see this unique reissue, allowing them to finally pick the figure up for a reasonable price. Kuuga Decade Version will be out as a retail release in October for 6050 yen, which is still 650 yen more than the original release. No new accessories are included with this release.

Seems like there’s a reissue of the Shinkoccou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga coming in October 2019, although it is called the "Decade Version". So I guess it is meant to portray the character from that show.
Unless the accessory count varies it looks to be the same figure as the Shinkoccou Seihou though. So if you haven’t gotten that one yet, now’s your chance

Well, that's... interesting. The original only came with 3 1/2 additional pairs of hands too; so I can't imagine this would come with anything less? And what would it come with additionally, actually? Kivala???
Very weird news but not unwelcome.
FreshToku says
It's been a while since I've seen Decade the show, but I can't really think of anything it could have to make it specifically represent that version of Yusuke.
Nice for anyone who doesn't have a Kuuga yet but wants one though.
Sunred says
Come to think of it, it has literally been a decade since Decade aired.
Thessair says
Whoa. Dairugger XV! That's going to break the bank.
Electric Turahk says
Huh, interesting. Decade's Kuuga is the real reason I wanted the original release and was pretty satisfied with that. Can't imagine either what could be different.
But can't really argue against reissues of Seihous, they are totally worth if you missed them the first time around.
Kurona says
It could actually be that there's an optional Decadriver piece you could put on his waist instead of the Arcle.

Oh sweet, we're getting an RD Gelgoog Jaeger!
Eh... I guess this is pretty neat too, and I suspect this might hint at how they re-release some other Seihous as well (Kabuto, Hibiki)...
