Hmmm...

Volcanicus?

He does have Volcanicus' head, but I'm more interested in what the kanji say. Can't really read them if they're handwritten.

That first one, at least, is especially blurry.

The Japanese text says something about"Beast Warrior".

Makes sense. Primus said he was summoning Primitives at the end of the last Selects manga chapter.

Got it:

野獣:yajuu, Beast/Monster
戦士: senshi, Warrior
再臨 sairin, Second Coming

Not too sure about the last two, again, handwritten kanji are difficult to read.

A more show-accurate redeco of Volcanicus, perhaps?

That would be a waste, plus TakaraTomy's Selects have so far all featured extensive retoolings.

Could this possibly be Dinoking?

Not with that head, Dinoking's head was closer to Abominus' but even then not the same.

My phone was translating the text as "Field Warrior Returns" so I guess we're all on the same track.

And there's really no chance of this being a simple repaint if it's going to be Takara Tomy Selects. I can't even make out the shape of the things we're seeing in the silhouette. What are those big bolt head looking things on his shoulders? How is his head sitting lower than on the original figure? What the heck is that peach colored silhouette?
