I'm hoping the silhouettes of some of the Riders aren't going to be SS releases. Ryuki, Blade, and Den-O's SHFs are some of the best around and still hold up. Faiz is the only one that could probably benefit from the treatment, but considering he's had three releases already a fourth isn't needed too much. Kiva though, for the people who want it, go nuts.

Still not entirely convinced that they were teasing the other 5 Heisei Riders. Struck me more as that they wanted a fancy Decade display but didn't want to mix the standard Figuarts with the Shinkocchou Seihous. I have no doubt some of them will come sooner or later, but all of them? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Decade's a definite buy, as is Rider 4. Won't be buying Type Formula but I'm surprised it's a web exclusive. But then, the Drive release pattern hasn't been quite as frequent as I expected it to be so I guess that makes it easier to make up for lost time.

And this is the closest Kiva will get to a regular Figuart release. :P

WHAT?! KAMEN RIDER 4? HELL YES!

He will be a Web-Exclusive for sure, but I must have him.

They literally made Kivala, Rider 4, and ALL 3 Winspectors before Kiva. Anything is possible :lol

Decade's looking phenomenal. Only toku reveal I'm really interested in, unfortunately. It probably is just for a Decade-style display, so I'm not going to read anything in to the silhouettes, even if I still so desperately want to see Kiva happen.

I guess it's too early for a SHF of Type Tridoron to be shown off? I do like that Rider 4 is getting made and I will buy him since I love the suit design.

It hasn’t even appeared in the show yet, of course it's too early :D

They must be running out of ideas if they feel like doing SS releases of Ryuki, Blade and Den-O since those three are perfectly fine. Why not do SS releases of the secondary riders like GX3, Diend and Gatack? Heck even a SS release of Kabuto's final form would be nice too.

Because main Riders sell better.

Yup. Always have and always will. Secondary rider SS releases will never ever be remotely as common as the primary riders. Some very few would happen just because of mold sharing like Gattack or Zeronos or something like that. Many would just never happen.

No Power Rangers/Super Sentai figures?

That Decade looks glorious, sooooo glad they actually have the insignias on the belt this time.

Nope and I wont expect to see any of those anytime soon.

I notice they even painted the white part Decade's left elbow joint, it'd be nice to keep that in for the final release. I'm just glad the eyes are finally vibrant on an accurate headsculpt. The first release (not violent emotion) was nice and bright but the head was slightly off.

Ooh, Decade, so beautiful! I'm really glad to see Kamen Rider 4, as well. I was a bit apprehensive, considering all of his soft parts, but he looks pretty darn snazzy.

Type Formula looks glorious. Given its Exclusive status, I'm hoping it'll come with all of its Tire Exchanges. Its clearly setup for them looking at the arm tires.

I really really want Decade.

WHOO! Kamen Rider 4! I will hunt that at all costs. Love that design.

Decade is lookin' good!

That Kiva silhouette is just taunting us. :mad:

What's Shinkocchou Seihou?

I think for Blade, Ryuki and Den-O, it'll probably more akin to a restock than just updated moulds, cause Kuuga and Decade really needed an update.
Plus IIRC, I don't think Kiva base form ever did have a proper Figuarts release, only his Emperor form and his S.I.C.

The line the Kabuto/Kuuga/Agito/Decade renewals and Hibiki are a part of.

They are basically the premium Figuarts releases with better proportions and more show accurate designs.

A new subline of SHF's that focuses on remaking old crappy Rider-figures in a premium way (or in Hibiki's case, give us Riders we never had). So far we had Kabuto, Hibiki and Kuuga in this line, Agito and Decade are to be released this year. You probably already heard from them under the term “Renewal”, but officially they are called Shinkocchou Seihou.

Huh.
I hope the Kiva they're teasing isn't an Emperor redux.

KR 4? Maaaaaaaay need some new pants.

Rider 4? Want.

Well technically it isn’t teasing... it's a display. It looks cool and works since all figures we've gotten so far are Heisei-Riders - which also happened to have old and crappy representations in the SHF-line, so they made new ones. But I hope they don't waste the effort on Ryuki, Blade etc., they are good enough as is.

If they do Kiva eventually, it will be the base form though, 100%.

@Topic: I hope we see Rider 4 as soon as possible, because I can see this one fading away into the realm of teased and never released figures. Would be cool if they release him a few months after Rider 3.

I am REALLY unhappy that Type Formula is an Exclusive. Well, looks like I'm know what I want for my birthday. Though don't they usually make the first mid-season upgrade the exclusive?

I would really like if we got a SS Kiva. (and W)

Mach Dead Heat, Kamen Rider No 3 and No 4 might be definite buys for me same with the new Decade. I'm fine with the new versions of some of the characters because I don't have them.

I need Yongou. I need him baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Now where's my Sky Cyclone?

Rider 4 did not have the gold Premium Bandai logo on his little card, so maybe he is retail like Rider 3 is. I don't care I'm getting both of them no matter what.

The frustrating part is that getting the Web exclusives tends to be easier.

Maybe they changed it up this time around since they can use the exact same mold for both Deadheat Drive and Deadheat Mach.

I still dont know why they did two separate releases of Deadheat Drive and Mach versions. They're exactly the same except for the head, just make it swappable.

If they wanted to do a Chou deadheat just make the tire swappable. Jack up the price by like 5 bucks or something

The difference is that Type Formula for example already has a release window set, so they know that they'll sell it as a Web-Exclusive. Rider 4 has no release window overall, so he could be anything. And now we play the waiting game, as I said I hope they use the release of Rider 3 and deliver 4 a few months after.

On the pre-order front maybe. Aftermarket? Not so much. Depends on character popularity and stuff, but still. And it's not that I'm afraid of missing out on a pre-order, I'll manage somehow, the problem is that Web-Exclusives are generally more expensive and NY goes crazy with shipping prices, at least for me. I would rather have a retail release, but I think Rider 4 is too obscure. But hey, never thought I'll see Rider 3 as a retail release, so here's me hoping.

And the Driver and Drive's wristband. Not that it takes anything away from your point, they could've managed somehow if they wanted to.

Gaim had Jinba as an exclusive, but Wizard Flame Dragon was a regular so I guess it just varies. I'm a bit perturbed, but it only ends up being slightly more expensive as long as you know where to look. Does mean you have to avoid secondary market like the plague, though. Hopefully this means Formula comes with all his arm tires. He's clearly set up for them given the seam lines.
