I think for me the thing that harms Blade is the headsculpt. I can't pinpoint why - the size? the proportions? - but something feels... off about it.
I did wonder if there was something else wrong, but Chalice especially looks very good to me so clearly they nailed the body proportions even if in the modern day they come up a bit short. It's just Blade's figures that are weird to me.

Oh, and King Form just looks... dire to me. Again, I'm not sure what it is; but either the armour is too big or the 'body' is too skinny. Even the old Souchaku Henshin toy looks better to me.

For me it's the head size. If it were slightly larger, I'd be perfectly content with Blade, and probably try to pick up Garren and Chalice to go with him.
And that's another thing, I own quite a few Gaim and Ryuki Riders...I have no interest in upgrading ALL of them, but just upgrading the main one would make the rest stand out. So I'm content with the originals for them. |

Not to mention that if they do upgrade and the SS looks superior to the rest of the original releases, you know that if they release more of them they'll all be web exclusives. Kabuto's riders? All TWE. Hibiki's? TWE. Even Beast was TWE and DiEnd was a convention exclusive.
It's the one trend I can't stand. I think with how well SS releases do, Heisei ones at least, they should release them more in retail. |

With the Blade figures it's definitely the head shape that throws them off the most. If they were more rounded their age wouldn't be nearly as noticeable, IMO. But yeah, basically everything pre-Gaim could really use an SS update if they don't already have one. And while my biggest desire is still for them to finally release the rest of Kuuga's' forms, if they want to do new Riders then Blade, Faiz, and Ryuki, definitely need it most.

I don't know what it is with Blade, something about the shape of the horn just looks very off, almost asymmetrical.

Functional Arms Change. Also if they did more than three tires for Drive... Seriously how did they never do a P-Bandai set of them? Quote:
The helmet is definitely off though. Just looks too small in comparison to the rest of him. It's the coloration that hides/hurts more than anything.

I will probably keep Ryuki because I have a special history with that figuart when I bought it. I do want Skyrider to get a SS treatment as well.

Kamen Rider Thouser! There seems to be some kind of twitter campaign with retweet goals that will reveal more about the figure? October release and 6600 yen.
