I really... REALLY want this one.
But I can't justify that much plus fees for a figure I pretty much already have minus a very nice coat of metallic blue and an Effect part.

...Is this the first time a KR figuarts has gone up for preorder before the thing the figure is from is even out? Because dang. I guess all those Drive exclusives must be selling like crazy if we're getting V-Cinema forms this early now. Though I suppose the fact that it's a retool also plays a part.
Not a huge fan of this design, but the figure looks well executed. Kind of a silly detail to focus on but in particular I really like the way the hands look. The metallic look is nice. And dang, effect parts? I thought Bandai didn't do those anymore. |

I suspect it's a large part. Gol(r)d Drive was a retail release, which was a bit of a stunner, but it was so easy for them to re-do: Type Speed head, Proto-Drive torso, adjust the paint, and leave out the shift car: done. Bandai has gotten a lot of use out of the Type Speed, Mach, and Chaser (Mashin and Rider) molds. There's just not that much tooling necessary for a lot of these given that the show and its spin-offs kept remixing existing body parts in different configurations. I also think this is one of the reasons Gaim releases dried up: why would Bandai risk significant amounts of new tooling costs when they can produce Riders that mostly reuse existing parts?

I'm preordering this. For whatever the suit has grown on me and I like it in figure form. And it's Mach related. When does this go on preorder?
NY already has it up I see. Any other sites that would have this bad boy up? I normally don't preorder web exclusives.
