Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton announced.

Was anyone interested in the US release of Kuuga and N Daguva Zeba? Looks like it already sold out on pbandai. I did not try to catch it when it went live, and only checked now, a few hours later, so I don’t know how long it was up.

You know they say Kaixa day comes but once a year, but we already got a repeat of it after only a month!

I already have the originals. And even if I didn't, the blood and snow painted on are very specific looks that I don't feel I need.

The cracked belt accessories are neat though.

I skipped them as I have the originals. I've got gripes with the aesthetics too, namely Daguva's gold parts looking to be just molded color rather than the nice paint + wash we got originally as well as the lack of yellow shading.

Friends, I need your help, because this is driving me crazy.

Finally opened up a Seihou Den-O Plat Form that managed to escape Japan, and I don't know what the hell is going on with it. I bought it so I could display Gun Form, using the parts from the Sword/Gun Seihou set, but the directions and included parts for Plat Form don't make a lick of sense. I popped off the Plat Form torso, but the included Sword/Gun torso has this (seemingly?) unremovable plastic piece on the ball that that goes into the lower-torso socket, so the Gun Form parts don't connect to anything. I've tried prying off that plastic piece on the chest ball, but a) nothing in the instructions says it can/should be removed, and b) it reeeeeally doesn't want to pop off. I am staring at a bunch of parts that refuse to resolve themselves into a working action figure. If anyone's bought a Plat Form for the same purpose, please tell me what exactly I'm doing wrong. This sucks! I was very excited and now I'm very annoyed! Kind of like when Ryutaros would show up on Den-O!!!

Are you sure it's the proper Plat Form body you're trying to use? IIRC Tamashii made two different ones for the two different Form Sets they had.

I am pretty sure! The directions for this Plat Form specifically show the Sword/Gun torsos. (Also, the other one comes with the K-Taros phone, which mine did not.) Totally fair to ask, though, since the boxes don't really call out which previously-released set they go with.

Found this on youtube. Skip to 11:45 to save time. Keep in mind, he starts from Sword Form. Hope it helps.

I appreciate the thought, but this is just someone parts-swapping on the single Seihou Sword/Gun body -- Plat Form has a different upper-torso part. And I don't know why!

EDIT: I figured it out!!! The lower-torso part on Plat Form, that only has a socket for a ball joint, is supposed to come out. The ball joint easily pops out of it, but you need to remove the socket piece in order to use the Sword/Gun parts. Except the socket piece is I N C R E D I B L Y wedged in there, necessitating a flathead screwdriver to prise it out. But it's out! And the resulting gap is the same goddamn shape as the Sword/Gun torso connector!

Thanks to everyone who chimed in! NO thanks to Bandai!!!
