S.H.Figuarts Dark Drive Teased?
 

Prototype was seen at the Tamashii Show Room, though currently no word if there'll be an actual release or if this is just a display only thing.

A waste.

Good job describing your own comment.

@Topic: Looks neat, I know Den-O and several others asked for this one a while ago so I hope they’re happy :)

Was there really a point with a post like that? You may not want to buy it, but plenty of other people would. No reason to be so negative.
I am particularly excited for this release. If in fact this comes out, the number of riders and forms yet to be released from Drive shrinks once again. And I am always happy about that.

The list (for me at least) stands at:
Type Fruits
Type Special
Type High Speed
Heart Type Speed/Wild/Technic
Jun/MP Mach & Genpachiro
Lupin
Brain & Gold
Medic & Gold
Rider 4
Gami Drive Arms

When those happen, I'll feel complete and done.
Well, aside from anymore V-Cinema forms that will happen in the future :lol

At last! Now I can stop whining every time a new Drive Figuarts is announced that isn't this guy. I love this suit so much. Hopefully it does get properly announced for release soon, though I'm just glad to finally see at least a prototype.

Given that High Speed is just Drive done up in Silver with a few extra pieces, I'm surprised it actually hadn't happened yet.

Good for you Den- O I so happy for ya. While the rest of wait for some Gaim movie rider to get release that may never happen.

This is a message board where you can state you feelings about toku don't try to silence me I don't do that to you.

Oh hell yes, this was one of my favorite Drive suits, I reaaally hope it actually gets a release. Honestly I'm really happy with how many drive releases we've been getting, those suits are some of the best.

With no confirmation of it seeing an actual release, I'm not getting too excited just yet. But damn do I want it.

Well I'm suitably hyped. It's a gorgeous suit, a great base mould and from one of the better Rider movies in recent years. All win in my books.

True, but it showing up in Akiba Showroom is a pretty good sign. They don't usually just get the random prototypes.

This guy's pretty sweet. Nice to see some of the coller, niche Drive designs getting recognition.

YES! I really dig this design and wanted a Figuart for it. Let's hope it doesn't go the way of the Gaim movie riders and never get released.

A great design really happy they are going to release it.

I really love Dark Drive's design and I'm surprised to see a proto of him. Didn't think we'd ever see him, really.

I have higher hopes for him coming out as opposed to the Gaim summer movie riders really. Mainly because Surprise Future was way more well-received as a film.

Please be retail,please be retail,please be retail,please be retail....

Darn, I can't fall back into Drive & SHF. Just don't have the means atm, but I've always loved this design and wanted a figure. On the wishlist he goes.

Translated into figure form pretty well. I can dig it.

I dig the whole TRON-esque look.

Sweet. I need more Dark Riders, and this guy's just all sorts of awesome. Just wishing I had the Daft Punk figures now...

I dig Drive stuff, and I have a weakness for characters from any franchise that look like they're out of Tron, so this is a must for me.

Dark Drive looks rad. Plus he looks like Yugande/Ecliptor which makes him double rad.

I haven't seen his movie though so he's probably a total jobber.

Someone with Daft Punk figures should post photos of that ensemble.

Same.


I hope a custom figure person to make Yugande using this figure. :lolol

Glad we are both on the same page! :D

Dark Drive will be a Web-Exclusive release in August, for 5940¥ :)

Badass action figure. I am love it! :D

Dark Drive's color scheme remind me to Tron.

Sweet! Guess movie Riders aren't totally dead for this line. Can't wait to get him and Skull.

Eh. Not surprised he's TWE but it definitely means he's a solid pass for me.

Although I won't be picking it up, I'm very pleased for Drive fans, since that's a particularly sharp design from a Rider series that featured some really cool Rider designs.

The product page at Premium Bandai is up, which means pre-orders will be available from your middleman service of choice very soon. Here are the official pictures:

I need, I want.

You have no idea how much turning down on this hurts me.

Man things are gonna get rough starting in April. Ex-Aid, Brave and Snipe next month, followed by Amazon Sigma, then Accel, Skull, Lazer, Dark Drive, Kickhopper and Punchhopper.

And that's just the Rider portion on my want list -_-

Now if only we can get Drive Type Special...never could bring myself to get figuarts type tridoron since it technically wasn't Drive's absolute strongest form (even if type special appeared all of one time). Also it's funny how we're still getting Drive figuarts but Ghost figuarts kinda fizzled out.
