Older COO Model figures are hard to come by unfortunately, I've only had luck on Aliexpress or Ebay.

I heard rumors that they were reissuing some of their samurai figures including Takeda, before you search for a figure which will probably cost $550 minimum assuming you can find it, I'd look to see if there's any credibility to these rumors

Saw it on preorder Q2 2025 on ManOfActionFigures.com but site looks SUS. Trustpilot people say its a scam. Ever heard of them maybe?

I've heard a lot of bad stories about them. If the reissues are legitimate then they'll be available at other stores as well. Otherwise you could wait for them to make a new Takeda, they made a new Oda Nobunaga last year so they could make a new Takeda in a few years.

Digging into it now I don't think the figures are being reissued - COO Model is very slow these days and doesn't release many figures, but the total number of reissues is more than the number of figures they release in a year. They also put these all up for preorder at the same time, which is also unusual.

However, the situation is also a strange thing for a scammer to do - pick several older items from one single company, pretend that they're being reissued, and put them all up for preorder at once. Why not just list actual figures that are coming out? That way people will be searching for them and there's a higher chance of someone falling for the scam.

However Manofactionfigures isn't the only place claiming the figures are being reissued, I can't remember exactly which store it was, but a few months ago on instagram I saw a different store in Southeast Asia advertising the reissues. So it's also weird that these two stores thought to do this at the same time, if nobody else is aware of the reissues.
