As far as Wizard goes, they seem to be finally coming around to the idea of using soft goods if TDK Batman is any indication. Which is good, because I REALLY want SS Knight to not have a brick of a cape like the original version does.
And in regards to Ryuki, I could see them releasing him and the rest of the 13 Riders (however many they do) as they did with back with Souchaku Henshin or even GSC's Dragon Knight Figmas: Including the regular accessories, like Ryuki's Sword, Strike, and Guard Vents, and then releasing the Contract Monsters separately, almost certainly as Web Exclusives. It'd solve the scale issues nicely (OG Dragredder was TINY compared to what he was supposed to be, the equipment that came with Genocider was oversized, as was Knight's Wing Lancer, etc) and allow you to have a more or less "complete" figure from the get-go.

So after watching the latest episode of Ex-Aid, I'm wondering how Para-DX's figuart would be handled.
1. Would they give us two separate Figuarts to represent both of his forms? If so, would they be included in a two-pack? Or will they try to make it so that the figuart itself can change forms? A swappable chest piece, a swappable helmet and swappable shoulder pads are all you really need (and of course, you would need to have Gashat Dual Gear in both modes, which shouldn't be too hard to do). It'd be nice if they could engineer the shoulder pads in such a way as to where they can also be used to form the boxing gloves. 2. Any chance of him coming with the Power-Up items, at least a few them? This would be great. Not only would they be accessories relevant to the character, but they also serve a dual purpose as accessories for the other Ex-Aid riders, as well as nice pieces for a diorama.

I feel like it's guaranteed to be two different figures after seeing how they handled the Deadheat forms from Drive. Granted, those are two different Riders, but if they can't sell that stuff in one package I doubt a Para-DX with two heads and interchangeable parts is going to be a thing.
And I don't even think it'll be a two-pack. I imagine both are separate releases. I would even go as far as saying Perfect Puzzle will be retail and Knockout Fighter Web-Exclusive or something evil like that, but I kinda doubt that even one of them lands in stores at this point. As for your second question, Puzzle Gamer would be ideal to come with some of the power-up coins. Which means Tamashii sure as hell won't do it. It makes too much sense. If anything they’ll pump out a Web-Exclusive accessory set. |

I'm hoping something like this already exists on Youtube. But there needs to be online resource on how to pose/display figuarts. It's the hardest thing about owning the darn things.

I've learned recently that posing figures for a lot of collectors is hard for them to do, which is surprising. When it comes to Figuarts, I find it so easy to pose them in natural stances or signature poses.

I feel like its just something that you learn over time. I've been collecting Figuarts for 3-4 years now and I think I've improved my posing through practice taking photos and referring to photos and videos of the shows the figures are from. Also people like Shishioh or Hacchaka who do galleries of so many figures are very nice references of great posing.
I do agree that Figuarts are one of the more easier figures to pose as compared to say Marvel Legends or Revoltech. |

Speaking of which, I did get Kachidoki in the mail and for such an awesome form, I'll admit I slept on this figure quite a bit since I already had Kiwami, and I'm usually okay with just having the basic form and final form of the main Rider. This guy is definitely better than Kiwami arms in most regards and with him, I'm starting to realize how insanely close I am to having a full Gaim Figuarts lineup (unless they release more). Not including the bikes (which I can more or less do without), I'm only missing Bujin Gaim, the Pine/Mango Gaim/Baron set, Lemon-Energy Baron and Jimba arms. May work on completing this line by the end of the year, although like I said before, I'm hoping we at least get Kamen Rider Mars, Kamuro and Jam

I have the Pine/Mango and Jimba, and they're both great. Jimba has some good display options since it can be any of the four Arms. Pine/Mango is very good, but be careful of the chain on the pineapple, specifically the big ring that connects to the pineapple ball itself, since it's easy to accidentally warp. I can't get excited over a movie Rider from a movie I didn't enjoy, and owning Mango Baron and Duke makes Lemon Energy Baron feel redundant.
...maaaan! I'm suddenly reminded of how much I want Kiwi Ryugen and Ichigo and Suika Gaim. Ah, well, I suppose we've got a gazillion Ex-Aid Figuarts inbound. |

Don't forget guys, the next wave of pre-orders is coming tomorrow (February 1st) in Japan. So if you want to pre-order Accel or King Joe, be ready.
Also, they have individual item pages now and Accel’s confirms that the Gaia Memory in his belt is removable. He also comes with an additional Memory, which I guess is the Engine Memory. No news if the sword can open and if it is compatible with the included Gaia Memories though. |
