I think the thing is that it's not necessarily a dealbreaker or something awful for a lot of people wanting this figure, but that it is disappointing to see a bare-bones release especially when it feels more like... Bandai is using this as an excuse to pack in as little as they can, which has been a trend with SHF for a while. Compare to lines like SO-DO and FRS where the designers there seem to try and find excuses to include more stuff, and SHF comes off as really disappointing in that regard. Hell, just compare to a little over half a decade ago where we got Fourze figures coming with random modules or Bravo coming with a wine glass. Or, hell, compare with Seihou figures in general -- most Seihous come with a lot of different accessories to replicate just about everything they can do short of packing in a bike.
Dark Kiva doesn't technically need to come with anything... but that doesn't mean it's not disappointing to have less options at a 8800 Yen price point.

It would've been REALLY NICE to have the Zanvat Sword or Jacorder.. but assuming we get them later I guess not as bad.. but then would still deprive their other users of them.
But not even having holding hands by the looks of it for those theoretical future releases makes it bad. As much as I want him and still will get him, he does now feel overpriced for what we're getting.

It's not a deal breaker, I will still be staying up until 1AM and going through the stressful hell on AmiAmi tonight for him. He is my favorite suit, of some of my favorite characters, in one of my favorite Rider seasons after all.
He doesn't NEED those things, but it would be nice if he had them. Hell even hands to hold the violin from the Kiva bike set. |

Yeah, usually it's 4PM Japan time. Usually the listing for it will be up some hours ahead of time and it'll say when pre-orders open.

Too bad we are not getting a Barney and Zyuranger collabo.

Looking at Mandarake right now, and they have a couple Ohma Zi-O figures for under 8,000 yen.

Man, I'm still perplexed that a Build NinninComic SHF exists. I look at the pics and it feels so much like a fever dream.
I mostly think it's a combination of ZvD/DvZ and that there's a reissue coming soon so demand on him is slowing down. |
