S.H.Figuarts Ride Striker Revealed
8 Attachment(s)
June 2019 Release, 6480
Seems like this is the only way people will be able to get weapons to go with Figuarts Zi-O and Geiz... https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-100013...952.1545276519 |
Thank goodness I don't really like the design of the weapons.
Also (place derisive comment about the lack of Ride Watch detail here). My eye is always drawn straight toward them. |
Well this sucks. At the very least Build used his bike often so it kinda makes sense to get the bikes as well. This is turning into a bad 'DLC' practice.
|
Screw this crap. I wish I could actually speak Japanese well enough to talk to them about this; it's a shitty business decision that needs to stop.
If the bikes don’t sell, don’t make them. Taking accessories from figures away only ensures that I won’t buy those either. |
Ride Striker looks cool but I hope they also will be make S.H.Figuarts Time Mazine in robot mode :D
|
Was enjoying Build enough to get the bike and complete the figure, but for Zi-O, I'm still not even sold on the figure alone. Definitely not gonna pay $70+ for a display piece and a couple of accessories

Which is great because I buy way too much Build-stuff still. Can't wait for the next round of figures; I need me some Evol. |
I hate two major trends with kamen riders lately. This and the leaning towards making the secondary rider exclusive. Especially with build and that later releases of the same character weren't exclusive.
One of the things that has always impressed me with Figuarts, and something I've used to sell people on the line, is their inclusion of accessories. Gokai Blue comes with the double sword and triple sword that was only used in one episode! And now you're telling me I have to buy the exclusive motorcycle to get even the main weapon used every episode? |
Count me among the "This trend needs to stop" crowd.
Granted, I can understand that the bikes are a necessary release because at this point if you didn't release them, people would complain about it. And I can also understand that them on their own don't sell nearly as well as they need to justify the price. That said, packing accessories that should come with the base figure it goes with just to guarantee the revenue is not the way to do it. They should have taken the attempt they made with Kamen Rider Garren and streamlined it. Give us a base figure with their weaponry and a DX release that packs the bike with them. People will buy that because you have plenty of collectors who want the bikes to go with their riders. Hell, make that DX set a premium release to boot so you don't have to worry about them taking up shelf space and getting discounted. Everyone wins, you make your money. |

Anyways, let's not forget that even with all the accessories and details, it's still a model kit. Meaning bare, unpainted plastic with stickers for detailing. The Figuart will still look better overall. |
There has to be a better way of getting these bikes to sell without gutting the figures themselves.
I mean, I'm fine with the bikes coming with exclusive accessories that may be appealing to collectors, so long as they aren't the main weapons that the Rider uses. I don't know what exactly those accessories could be. Maybe a Pandora Box/Panel, some FullBottles and/or some "Formula" effects for Build. Zi-O's could come with some henshin effects, maybe a Build dummy armor since they're already doing Zi-O: Build Armor. I mean, they might not be as appealing as actual weapons, but I can't imagine these bikes selling too well even with those as incentives. In a perfect world, maybe they could start selling civilian figures with the bikes, having a figure and bike bundle like what they did with Garren and the OG Rider 1 + 2 releases. I think the demand is out there, the main issue would probably be getting the actors' rights. If not that, then maybe an alternate form instead. I know there's some alternate forms out there that people would love to have. |

It sucks that Zi-o sword comes with a bike that I don't care for and to cost webshop price. This is the second time it happen first build and now Zi-o. I have a feeling going forward this is just how it gonna be.
I lost interest in the main rider cause of this I still getting Zi-o because he a great price but for him to have no weapons is a letdown. Btw does anyone know if Garren and his bike sold well enough back then? |
