Perhaps, perhaps not. packageing change, different paint, there are ways to get around that. Hell, a SDCC Two-pack of them would be a way. Bndai has shown us that if they think it will make money, they will find a way to do an additional run.
Want proof? Dragon Ball.
Where was it an exclusive through?

Except they have never straight reissued any exclusive figure in the dragonball line Lerath. SDCC and premium color editions required entire repaints or remolds in order for them to release the molds again, and there's literally nothing they could change for the star wars figuarts.
Both of them are web exclusives and have the web shop logo on them.

Well that is disappointing to hear lol
I'm sure SH Figuarts will get to Cody or Rex by 2025.

Not to detract from the Padme discussion but wanted to show this progress. For the first headsculpt I've ever painted I think it went relatively ok, still gotta do the eyes
This is looking real nice. I'm guessing he's battle damaged? I think you just need to tighten up the stubble area and it will be perfect.
The armour is worn slightly as it was in the film, but the head isn't meant to be if that's what you meant lol. I tried to capture his darker skin tone through paint layering to give it a textured, multilayer look, but that seems to have just made him look dirty. Only my first try though- i just did a Kylo tonight that already shows improvement.
Here's a higher res look at the paint job, hopefully showing the sort of varied skin tone I tried to create. Also added movie accurate facial scars

If anyone is looking to get Padme....I just canceled my order at BBTS. Don't have the funds right now to do it.

I don't know if I should keep Anakin or not. A while back I sold all my shf trying to get out of collecting but was stuck with this pre order. Now I'm getting back in the game but it's my only shf. It doesn't seem right only having Anakin, but I don't want to backtrack to get the others. What to do

Tough call, but if he is the only one, unless you have special fondness for that version, I would say sell it to a fan here or dump him on eBay and make double your money.
Here is a few pics I took. Most of the reviews and other posts show better photos.

Got my BS Vaders, they're fantastic. Cape has too much material though, I swapped it with the cape I made for the Bandai Kit in the pic at the end and it looks much better, will be making one for the BS.
Left is Bandai Kit, right is BS, the Bandai Kit is good, but the BS is miniature Vader.
The only thing in which the Bandai Kit is better, is that you can remove unnecessary pieces to give it more articulation, but the BS is nice and chunky, I thought it would be gummy and rubbery like some other Hasbro figures I bought, it doesn't, it feels sturdy.
BS is hands down definitive/best Vader out there, counting the upcoming ones, Kit comes second, just like I expected.

Well, time to come clean [emoji14]
I also just got BS Vader; Amazon were selling it cheap because the box was damaged and it was missing part of the base, and I wasn't interested in that anyway. I wasn't willing to pay figuarts price for it with a crappy stand!
I firstly have to apologise to everyone in this instance; it does look good, and the height is perfect, however, that's not to say the figure is. Its maybe not as bad as most BS figures, but compared to a figuarts it's rubbery as anything. I can't get over how plyable the helmet and legs are!
So Yeah, he looks the part surprisingly, but doesn't feel nearly premium enough. Still, from someone who can't stand the BS line, I would say that's a great compliment from me [emoji14]
Nice pics though Gaspar
A review will be up on my YouTube channel next week

Those Vaders have practically become shelf spacers at my local Walmarts, Gamestop, BB and TRUs. I guess nobody wants to pay an extra $20 for the display

Well, from the parts I did get it felt like a cheap piece of crap to be perfectly honest, so I'm not surprised no one wants it.
I got one piece of the base and the overhang; the base part is cheap hollow plastic and the overhang droops!
The fact that Hasbro thought adding the price of a second figure (more in the UK) to it wasn't in any way money gouging astounds me.
