Currently debating with myself what I want more: a figure of Snipe, my favorite Rider design from this show, or to not pay another 28 dollars on top of what is definitely going to be an already ludicrously expensive month. I guess time will tell.
They look pretty good. |
Though I'm not a huge toy collector, I think that the figure for recent KR's toys are getting better and better. I mean you could compare OOO Combo Change toys with the current Ex-Aid Level Up toys. Current figures seem to have more articulations and it can rival the Figuarts a bit if it's added with more details. Not only that, the proportion of the figures are much better here too. You could see how escalated the toys are for recent series.

I'm still trying to figure out how the Gashat works. The main button does the Taddle Quest announcement, but I haven't quite figured out the pattern that causes it to alternate between the happy and unhappy 8-bit sounds.
Holding small button 1 causes the initial "Let's game" henshin, and keeping it held while holding down small button 2 produces the "Level up" sound. Holding small 2 and the large main button for several seconds produces a secondary "Taddle Quest" jingle. I keep trying different combinations - I don't yet understand Japanese enough for the printed instructions or YouTube videos to be entirely helpful - and I haven't yet figured out how to activate sounds like a critical strike. (The videos could be a good resource, but given the tiny, close-together buttons, I can't always see what's happening.) Have any of you been able to get a critical strike sound out of these? If so, how? I haven't yet found a comprehensive list of what these things can do. |
From what I understand the game clear/game over sounds are just random. I still don't have any Gashats in hand, so I couldn't help you with triggering the finisher sounds unfortunately.
Speaking of Gashats though, I was recently thinking about how I was kind of annoyed that none of the Proto Gashats besides MAX and GR look to be getting released, as it seems like they may have some degree of plot significance. I considered maybe they would get them out through Premium Bandai, and, well, that could happen. But then I realized these sorts of recolors would be the perfect thing to do with the Gashapons at some point down the line. Like, you know. Maybe. The fact that they're starting so late and with only a couple to each release it may take them a while to catch up to the DX long enough to do extra stuff, but I really do want them to do this. They're also monochromatic so they probably wouldn't suffer too much from lacking lights (as I'm assuming they'd just be white if they had them). Also wonder if all the Proto's would have different sounds or if that's just a Mighty Action X thing. PMAX is the only one with color, so I could see it being special even among the Proto Gashats. Hopefully they would though. |
Wow, I don't normally collect the gimmick line for figures, but Genm and Snipe look amazing. I may actually preorder Genm (until a Figuarts version comes out) since he's my favourite Rider so far.

Speaking of LVUR, Lazer has been revealed.
http://gameridernews.tumblr.com/post...twitter-posted And he looks...honestly really awful. I know they skimp on the paint for these gimmick figures, but leaving even the Driver unpainted? Egh. The mold itself doesn't look too great either. Hopefully the awkwardness of the bike is made up for by its transformed Chanbara/Hunter modes, but I doubt it. Which will be unsurprising. Transforming gimmick toys never look good. They just don't. Anyway, speaking of Lazer...HLJ opened up orders for a restock of the Kimewaza Slot Holder for all of like 5 minutes on Thursday. I got an order in but just barely. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping there aren't any problems fulfilling it. The restock is supposed to come this month, so I guess I'll find out any day now. Hoping to ship out my stuff as soon as Robots comes out. With any luck I'll have five Gashats in just a couple of weeks. Anyway anyway. We have episode titles for next month so we can determine that (as expected) Beat comes out on the 12th and Combat on the 26th. Unfortunately none of them make direct reference to Chanbara, so it's still up in the air whether its stuff comes out on the 12th or 19th. 19th does seem more likely, but who knows. It's gonna be damn silly if the easiest way to get GENM's transformation item ends up being Lazer's weapon tho. |
Laser looks fine. I knew there would be some that would be griping about him. Everyone expects SHFA levels these days on cheaper alternative lines.

I'm not expecting SHF level work. I'm only expecting Lazer to at least match the other figures in his line. The amount of paint apps on Lazer is disappointing, especially compared to others like Snipe which despite somewhat intricate designs have nearly complete detailing.
Leaving things like the Driver or the game pad armor unpainted on Lazer is just lazy, and chalking it up to it just being the cheaper line to me rings hollow when he's more expensive than the individual Riders. At 3800 MSRP he's barely any cheaper than the Ghostriker SHF was. I really don't think expecting a decent paintjob on him is unreasonable when they've delivered on the other LVUR figures. The mold can be forgiven because of the necessity of the gimmick, but there's no excuse for the barebones paintjob. |
