S.H.Figuarts Classic Rider 1 Bluefin Release Info and V3 Reissue
 

Bluefin’s Facebook Page page has been updated with release info on The North American release of Classic Rider 1.

Classic Rider 1 will be released in August 2013, retailing for 29.99, he will include a Rider Kick Effect part along with swappable hands and weapons.

In addition, Bluefin has also announced that S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider V3 will reissued in August as well.

V3 is probally the only Heisei, or Showa.. .. The only original Kamen Rider I'd buy. I'd love to have a V3 and a The Next for a display.

What's really interesting is that the reissue is priced lower than the original release by around $8 according to Bluefin's facebook post.

I'll pass. I see no reason to own this version just because it was featured in maybe half a year's worth of shows compared to the remaining 40ish years.

I think they finally adjusted their MSRP to match the lower yen.

Is it wrong of me to hope the Yen goes lower to lower the price of more Figuarts?

Not wrong at all, Japan is lowering their currency intentionally to boost exports. So it helps them, up to a point.

Ah. Then onward! My dream of a 2 dollar figuart must become reality!

I miss the days when I could buy an item that was 9800Y and it would cost me $72. Nowadays, that same item translates into $113.

One of the main reason I pre-order my Showa V3 cause I have the next version and V3 my fave Showa era rider
