Yes, he's great. The only problem is – seeing him "alone" on the shelf among the other Ultras really makes me wish we would get Titus and Fuma as well, they're not even solicited yet
Yeah. The main Rider is being treated as an entry-way drug by Tamashii. They want to sell it to people who are not normally interested in higher-end collectibles, by giving them one for cheap so they can see if the quality is worth the "normal" price. Although I must say, including the weapons with the retail release secondary Rider is a vast improvement over including them with the Web-Exclusive bike nobody wants. I don't mind about the bike thing if they utilized the bike often like Build, but Zi-O rarely used his bike, hell it's basically nonexistent. But yes, having the weapons to come with another retail Rider is a welcome change. Even though Rising Hopper is the most brawler-looking Rider out there so the lack of weapons doesn't bother me with him. If they make Izu, it will sold out in minutes and Bandai will have no choice but to have her as normal release instead to keep up with demands.

That's fantastic. I'm just a bit bummed that he's pretty barebones that his effect part is locked on Tregear. And yeah they need to announce Titas and Fuma. They'll most likely be exclusives, so we'd better save up.

And there are not really any accessories I would include with him except effect parts. But - Tregear is a must have for me so I'm not complaining Quote:

But hey, now that the weapons come with figures again there's no need to get the bikes, so that's nice. To be fair, some Web-Exclusives do get a second wave due to high demand, Genm Level 0 was among them. |

Everyone else makes some kind of sense... but the secondary Rider's base form? What? |

It kind of makes sense since Cross-Z appeared in merely 4 episodes before the suit was succeeded by Cross-Z Charge. Which is the form they sold at retail.

From a toy and marketing perspective, there's a lot of very odd things to do with Cross-Z vs Cross-Z Charge in general which his Figuarts situation fits into perfectly. The more you look and think about it the more it's clear it's not a normal secondary rider situation toy-wise.

It absolutely sucks honestly. Exclusives used to be reserved for stuff like Movie riders/forms and minor miscellaneous forms (agito storm, w heatjoker etc) but now they just take the piss. Do SHF Kamen Riders just not sell as well anymore? I admit I sometimes wonder when I see stuff like Seihou Accel refusing to sell for a bit...

Hopefully Bandai announces Prime Rogue before my wallet gets swept by any more of the beautiful suits of Zero-One. I just want a figure of Gentoku that's not Night Rogue. Night Rogue is cool and all but pales in comparison to the rest of Gentoku's suits. |

Seihou Accel not selling well? That explains why he's only 5000Y on Mandarake. I might get him. Love Accel.

Night Rogue is cool and all but pales in comparison to the rest of Gentoku's suits. IIRC, there was some official blog post implying that Prime Rogue would be getting released? I can't remember what exactly it was, but it seems likely.
