That and well, that is how they were described to me initially, so that is what I go by.

Yeah, that's pretty much the most recognizable form. Which makes sense, because that's how he looked for most of the show (when he was in the show, anyway). So it being the first is both expected and unsurprising.

It's a shame though, this sort of stuff with the Showa Riders does kinda sucks for guys like me who want the first forms more. Same thing with Skyrider. The upgraded forms of both of these (also Nigou) are the more popular and recognizable forms, and thus the ones most likely to see release in...basically anything, really.

I'm amazed Amazon's first form is the one that gets used in everything, considering. His second form has never even had the Figuarts treatment that I know of.

But hopefully the popularity of Ichigou means his other forms will also get made. Probably too much to hope for that they'll be at retail, but I can hope.

Oh I don't doubt there could be problems with Bandai attempting this. This can't be easy to pull off, and "successful" results could still prove mediocre (maybe avoiding cracking/tearing, but posability could still be hindered). I just don't see the logic in automatically assuming this will turn out badly. I'd rather wait for in-hand results instead of dismissing it out of hand.

Do we expect to be at the end of Tamashii Nations reveals at this point?

Amazon has a second form?

From what I've heard in past discussions, yes. I was majorily red. I think it had to do with his rage/anger or something like that?

The red form for Amazon was an SIC only thing.

Oh. Never knew that. Thank you Matrix.

While it was a S.I.C. exclusive form it is known as Pre-Amazon. A precursor to his standard form, it lacks the Gigi armlet. Because of this, 3 days after use the the user will die if they can't obtain the armlet again. It's about 1/3 as powerful as his standard form as well. Amazon Alpha is also primarily based on this form.

Yeah, sometime after he gets a shirt, the suit's chest is changed from yellow to red. It's never really acknowledged in show, and it's not really a different "form" in that it has different attributes, it's just aesthetic. But it is, well, still different. Most of the merchandise you see, and whenever he pops up in later stuff nowadays, it's the original yellow chest version.
