Nice glad to see Bandai in a rush to finish the Zi-O line. Guess they be skipping out on the three future riders and do main forms only.

[Tokumonkey]

Th-that's... That's terrific paint on the face of the left RideWatch half. I'm shook.

[MaskedRiderAsakura]

Easily my favorite form from the series right now. Definitely getting this!

[gashatfreak]

Normally I'd say that I'm glad that Bandai finally painted the Ridewatches, but this just makes me pissed that they could've done this for regular release SHF Zi-O when they did it on Figure-Rise Zi-O.

It’s funny how this one image invokes multiple feelings at once for me.

Let's start with the ones actually concerning this very figure:

- The Zi-O II suit is awesome, I'm glad to see it made into a Figuart. It not only banished the horrible Decade Armor from the show, but also finally gave a Rider who is based on a clock an actual time-related ability. It's not super creative but it works.

- The detail on the gold part of the Ridewatch is exquisite. But immediately destroyed by the blank nothingness in its counterpart where a sticker should be. And thus the main issue with the Zi-O Figuarts continues on and fans need to print their own stickers to fix it. That just sucks.

- They will probably not include a Zikan Girade. I can see them only including the Saikyo Girade and the combined Saikyo Zikan Girade, at which point I will proudly lift my middle finger and just pass on this release all together. Every time they skip including weapons just to sell their stupid bike & accessory packs I will not buy the figure. It’s a petty sign of protest but it’s all I can do as a consumer.

And then follow the thoughts not immediately based on the figure, but they arise due to it being teased:

- If this week’s Tamashii blog entry would've been dedicated entirely to Zangetsu Kachidoki I would've lost my mind. I need this figure so badly.

- Where the hell are the Build figures? There was no new pre-order announcement since...last October? 5 months? Damn. Not only that, it has only been Ex-Aid and Zi-O for Rider Figuarts since then. Kiva technically went up in November but he was revealed in October too. Come on Tamashii, show some love to other shows as well.

- Still no sign of the Future Riders. They are the best thing in all of Zi-O for me and I need Figuarts of them goddammit.

- Did I mention Zangetsu Kachidoki yet? No? Tamashii, come on, put it up for pre-order. Please, I don’t want to live in a world where that glorious figure slowly descends into the abyss of unreleased Figuarts prototypes.

*Sigh* Another P-Bandai I guess...

Maybe not? They made the Decade Armor exclusive, this I could see being the next (and probably last) retail release for Zi-O.

[Kurona]

Unless it's an exclusive, I can see this being the only figuarts I get of Zi-O. It's by far my favourite form of his, and I like that it's essentially replaced his original form on the show and been more like an evolution than an option.

[Yarlick]

I'm actually the same, it's an evolution of the previous form.
I need that one and have no interest for the two next forms, I don't like them.
