Thanks Tali. So who was that? The video says "Tokunation Presents", who was that mysterious helpful man?

Kickback, I think.

What I learned in another thread about the base Kiva suit makes me suspect that the excessive delay on the Figuarts version actually has a lot to do with the suit's design. The Dark Kiva and Emperor Kiva suits are both more flexiThe chest/shoulders appear to be a solid piece. If Figuarts does something with a high level of screen accuracy, it's going to have extremely limited upper-body movement, both in the shoulders and abdominal region.
Of course, they could adjust so that shoulder movement is possible, but at the cost of screen accuracy. I suspect that's not an easy choice for Bandai to make, and it would explain why it's taken so long to finalize a Figuarts Kiva base form design. |

I've been checking the webstore listings for January periodically of late, wondering when the order deadline for that month's stuff would finally show up, and sometime tonight they finally updated it as the 20th of this month. So for those with Chaser or the Beatchaser (or SIC Infinity Style, or Hulkbuster) on order at NY, I'm thinking we'll be getting the payment reminders soon.

They're in the middle of updating the older figures which look dated next to the modern releases, so I think it makes more sense to redo those before giving us the final Heisei character, which would eave us with an awkward mix of the new shiny releases and the old dated ones. This way everything is more uniform and when they do get around to hyping up Kiva, they can show him along with everyone else, without any of them sticking out like sore thumbs. |

Damn got my message from Nippon-Yassan to pay for my Chaser Figuart. I'll see if my friend can lend me some money or just use my credit card sadly.
