S.H. Figuarts Great Cross-Z Revealed
3 Attachment(s)
Bandai tweeted pictures of the figure after the episode aired.

Hm....this so unexpected.
Great Cross-Z has litttle difference with original Cross-Z Form so they can make Great Cross-Z with some of modifications. Hmm....hopely Cross-Z Magma Figuarts will be released too. |
I like it.
|
Are the shoulder pads different in some way or is it just the angle?
|
Wow... if this is legit then it makes me hate Great Cross-Z even more. It literally is just Cross-Z with a marginally different paint-job, no retooled parts whatsoever.
And they retire Magma for this garbage? Unbelievable. I love Build but I loathe how they screwed Banjou's Rider suits over again and again. First a great one with Cross-Z, then right into the worst-suit territory with Charge, finally back to awesome with Magma and now all the way to the bottom again with a boring, uninspired repaint. One of, if not the best secondary Rider ever and they can't just let him keep his cool clothes, it’s so irritating. |

Magma is still the final form. Great Cross-Z is just the new base.

See, this upsets me: I haven't even watched the episode yet because I'll watch them Mondays, I see a new form in scans which is called a "final form", apparently it's already used in the most recent episode and now all this stuff pops up and I can't get an explanation for any of it without spoilers.
I'll just back out of this and ignore it until I’ve actually seen the episode, should’ve done that to begin with probably, but the rage made my magma surge. |
A gorgeous form in the show, and a gorgeous in toy form. Leagues better than Magma, and I dare say even the original Cross-Z form.
I just hope the price isn't through the roof. |

And it's the same situation with Magma, a cool suit, but details are washed out due to the color combination. Then again, it's just my opinion. |
That that... is the power of a kitbash.

If they bothered to tool a few new parts maybe, but as is it's just too boring looking to be of any interest to me. Quote:

I think they might've miscolored the top of the helmet. It was just the part that connected the dragon face to Cross-Z's helmet that was colored red, not the entire top. It's still MUCH better than I thought it would look, in show and as a toy.
|
I actually sort of like this form, but it mostly likely won't come with a weapon, so I'll pass.

Honestly......this might be the quickest transition from magazine scans....to in show appearance....to Figuarts prototype that I've ever seen.

I'm looking at this next to regular Cross-Z and . . . its a straight repaint, no remolds? And i bet no weapons?
how hard are they trying to make us not buy this? |
Nah, I still dig the original Cross-Z suit color design.
|
And it's going up soon, Erasu got the pictures already. What the fuck.

I'm resisting the urge to make a Kiva joke right now...
|
I suspect Great Cross-Z is the result of loud outcry over Banjou's terrific first form being replaced by Charge. That is, Bandai eventually figured out that the original Cross-Z was a beloved (and thus, marketable) design, so decided to reiterate it as an upgrade with few changes. (Admittedly, I think the helmet color changes are for the worse.) I think they were *trying* to please fans, at least, and maybe underestimated that people would love Magma enough to nearly forgive the original suit swap.
|
Man, I'd go for this but 1) I already have regular Cross-Z on order and 2) It doesn't have the sword.

Either they hate Kiva or they are preoccupied with other characters they wanna make. But yeah I wonder what the hold up is. |
While I actually really do like the colors of Great Cross-Z, this is gonna be a pass for me, as I really want to get the eventual Cross-Z Magma SHF first, and plan on getting the Cross-Z Charge soon. Will probably get Great Cross-Z on the aftermarket. Especially since it doesn't look like he comes with any new accessories, not even another Beat Closer.
|
According to the product page he comes with the same accessories as normal Cross-Z (Beat Closer Parts, Lock Fullbottle). And the Great Dragon evolbottle, which they mislabel as a Fullbottle.
Same hands too from the looks of it. |

RIP Wallet... EDIT: I just went back to the SHF Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi's P-Bandai page. Remember how everyone was surprised when the Kiwi Gekkirin was included? Well, the Kiwi Gekkirin was actually mentioned on the page itself, so most likely the Beat Crosser and Lock Bottle WILL be included with the figure. EDIT 2: Still waiting for that Kiva figure... |
I actually love the colors on this more than OG Cross-Z.
Moreso given what it signifies. Banjou and Evolt are the same being, so Great Cross-Z shares Evol's colors to signify that. |
