S.H. Figuarts June Releases - Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Accel, King Joe
5 Attachment(s)
The next Shinkocchou Seihou release will be Kamen Rider Accel!
A mass release figure for June 2017, pricing details to follow. Also joining him that month is S.H. Figuarts King Joe from Ultraseven, priced 7560 yen! Full story and image gallery. |
Well Guess i've got a new reason to spam amiami every single day again.
|
Whaaaaaaaaaat?!
Did not see that coming, Accel at retail, holy shit. But I'm not complaining, that's exactly the kind of release I was waiting for. Awesome! Also, Split Lip, you better get several alarm clocks ready, you can't miss out on this one! :) Quote:
Until we get confirmation we can assume that's going to be February 1st in Japan. |
Oh yes. Preordering both of these. King Joe more so.
|
Damn they look great, I want both of themmmmmm. I'm gonna have to cancel some preorders to afford themmmmm.
|
Yup, I'm definitely getting Accel. Awesome!
|
Oh finally some SS news.
Can't wait to get Accel. ^_^ |

Oh, man, Accel! I'm overjoyed. An SS release of a character I wanted, having never bought the original release.

But he looks wonderful, though. |

Great, but neither of these particularly appeal to me. So, another month safe!
... Unless they announce Crystal Sailor Mercury for that month. |
I spy with my creeper eye something that is not Kiva. While I really like these, I have to ask, where is Kiva? Was Kiva so unpopular that his series will not get anymore love?

The Shinkocchou Seihou page was updated, giving us a few more looks at Accel. His price was also revealed, it’s 6.480¥, same as W.
It seems like he comes with an alternate head where the detailing under his visor looks like it's lit up. Can’t read the text so I don’t know if the Accel memory is removable or if the Engine Blade can open. http://i.imgur.com/hMvzFo8.jpg Quote:

All we can do with regard to Kiva is speculate. I know I can't let go of my curiosity about the topic: it's unlikely that there's no reason.
I'm also curious as to Accel's alternate head will work. (If it is, in fact, alternate and not some kind of light-up feature. I can't yet read Japanese.) They worked from serious magic with the eyes on Decade in particular, so maybe they've got a brilliant solution here. Actually, what they haven't revealed about Accel may suggest a possibility about why we've heard nothing about Kiva: Bandai is probably still working out the logistics of cost-to-produce and accessories. If they wanted to do something with the fuestles the way they did with the W's Gaia Memories, that'd present a conundrum in terms of practicality, engineering, and a simple debate as to whether it's worth it. With W, I'm actually not sure it is, because as much as I like the Gaia Memories, on my copy, they fall out of the Driver for - as the saying goes - like, no reason. Bandai may still be deciding whether Accel's Engine Blade will open, or if the Memory will be removable, specifically based on the feedback - or just the practical results - of W. From what I've read here, the Driver Memory fit problem isn't universal, but it may be common enough to give Bandai pause. After all, Shinkocchou Seihou is something of a prestige line. I imagine they don't want to release something that doesn't fit the brand they're putting forth, with is essentially an "ultimate" version of the figure. I'll be buying Accel regardless. Hen... PATION! |
I doubt it’s an LED since Japan also writes it as "LED" so we would’ve noticed, and the price would’ve been higher I imagine. And since it would be the first figure in the line to have a light up gimmick they would’ve advertised the shit out of that feature! :lol
I guess it’s just darker paint around and really bright blue tips for the lighter sections. And yeah, I have the same issues with W, so I wouldn’t be too angry if Accel’s Gaia Memory is glued in place. And I wouldn’t even bitch if the sword doesn’t open it’s just – I kinda expect it to with this sub line. It should be able to do that, there should be a tiny Engine Memory to stick into, that’s what they do with other figures too. But again, no deal breaker for me if the sword is one solid piece, I don’t plan on displaying him with an open sword anyways. |
Accel looks pretty sweet~
|
Now that I'm looking closer at the figure, something seems off to me. I think it may be that the hands look a little larger than they ought to be, and maybe it's the angle, but the arms look a smidge too long. The waist seems slightly too narrow, although that could also be the angle at which these photos are taken.
To be fair, this is a drastic improvement on the original Figuarts Accel from what I've seen. I'm just a little surprised that it looks off to me, given that SS figures tend to look flawless to me. Am I being too critical? |

I think the perceived proportional issues come from the oddity of Accels costume. The chest and shoulders are large because of the armour, making his waist seem smaller. Likewise the thin silver strips on the arms, combined with the white background and black gloves may give the illusion of longer arms. Actually comparing where the fingertips come up on the thigh, they seem perfectly fine length wise.
|
But here's the big question. Is it capable of turning into his "bike" form? :lolol
|
Wow a retail release that good. I guess W heatmetal could also be retail like the Kuuga ones were.
I think Skull will be webshop don't see him being retail. |
Accel looks fantastic, hope I can get one!
