Ooookay, uh. I was expecting around the price of the original MG Figure-Rises. Maybe 5000 or 6000 at a push.
But 11000??? What?????

My thoughts exactly, it's ridiculous. I am disappointed and kinda mad at how lazy it feels. It's like they finished painting the backside of SHODO and RKF figures and then selling it at double the price.

So. I have no idea how this is supposed to appeal to that market.

What really gets me is that a big draw of Figure-Rise for a lot of people - at least from what I've seen - is the low price and availability. Compared to paying 6000 Yen (at best) for a second-hand SHF of a main rider you might not even care about and having to do it within the month, you can just wait till next payday to pay half that for the same character and get a fun build to boot. There are a few Premium Bandai releases but they're all recolours rather than their own unique things, and more or less seen as extras.

Damn, I've got the old MG Skull, and even with some pre-painted parts, it's not a ¥11000 model kit.

Oh this is REALLY good news!!! I was worried about what Dragredder would do to Ryuki's price, but 4730 Yen? That's only about 1000 yen more than normal, before pre-order discounts!! Pay 10$ more than usual to get an entire f*cking dragon! This line is awesome, man...

That looks way better than both the figuart and the figma. Nice job, Bandai!

Ryuki looks good! I suppose they are sticking with the single join elbows now.
Slightly higher price no doubt due to Dragreder. Speculation about weapons was pretty spot on here. Also Ryuki is such a clean and simple design, I imagine the only stickers needed for his body are the gold details on his helmet. His toys usually do a good job at getting all the paint applications.
