The old gimmick toys are roughly the size of your normal 1/12 toy so the SHF could fit. TorideVendor might be a bit big tho. |

Yeah I hate the transforming cellphone into a bike gimmick. I felt it worked for Build because of the theme and character Sento. KR Zero-One's bike imo should of been a giant transforming progrise key stored in the satelite Zea instead of a phone and with KR Saber a cellphone bike doesn't fit knight theme. I haven't watched Saber yet so I don't how modern the theme is or if it's all fantasy based.

Saber's bike turns into a book. The cellphone turns into a tricycle thing. Both don't fit a fantasy theme either way. At least Wizard's one combined with his dragon.

At the same time, it kinda works for me because the SoL feels less like a relic lost to the ancient past and more just an organisation that's been around for a while and has adapted to the times, so sure; why wouldn't they have trikes with gatling guns that turn into phones. A bit like Takeshi in Hibiki but, uh, slightly wilder

Also yeah Bandai recently released Ultraman as part of the Figuarts Best Selection line (I was told they did this to capitalize on the Olympic 2020 tourists (and we all know what happened there)), but it turns out the figure itself is kind of low quality. Japan Twitter seems to feel like Bandai took some shortcuts with the release.
And does this extend to any of the other Best Selection rereleases, like Build?

Thanks for the comparisons guys, but I was curious as to how the DX bikes for the RKF scale with an SHF (e.g. DX Ride Striker with SHF Zi-O, DX Rise Hopper with SHF Zero-One and DX Fiago Speedy with SHF Saber) considering how smaller the RKFs are compared to previous budget figures.

The newer DX bikes are kind of small, even for RKFs. The recently released Gatrikephone is especially absurdly tiny.
I wouldn't actually display Figuarts on these. |

Since he's getting re-issued (well, we technically don't know; but come on), I'm seriously considering getting SHF Evolt. I decided to just completely skip out on him the first time due to his rarity and my money at the time and I didn't need NEED him like I did Cross-Z... but now that there's a second chance at him I'm thinking about it all over again. I'd forgotten what a beautiful design Cobra truly was, and the full package is really good value for all the parts swapping included. I did eventually wanna get some villains and Evolt is definitely one of the best, not to mention from my second favourite series... hmhmmm. This might just have turned out great for me after all

inb4 I finally watch Build and I end up kicking myself for not getting in on these reissues.
