Does anyone have the old S-RHF01 Auto Vajin? It was scaled to an included 6 inch figure and I'm wondering if it might work with FRS Faiz.

I don't have both S-RHF and Figure Rise one, but

definitely is, since the S RHF and the FRS one is bout the same size

Just finished up FRS Den-O

Pretty great kit with very few stickers. Painting those Dengashers (twice!) was a real pain. Is it just mine or do the holstered Dengashers fall off his belt very easily?

Anyway, loved the kit, love Den-O, bring on Hibiki!

The Den-Gashers are kiiiind of loose to me, but not in a terribly intrusive way. I've only really had trouble with Ex-Aid's Kimewaza slot. Glad you enjoyed him, he's probably my favourite so far!!

The whole gang. We are at 8/20 of the lead riders.

Soon to be 10! Man, it's cool seeing 'em all like this...

10 before the year's end makes me hopeful we'll get all 20 in a reasonable amount of time.

Here's what I think the remaining riders will be like based on these so far.

Agito - just like Kuuga. Deploy-able head crest options. Would not be out of place to see Trinity form parts. Would only need 1 small runner for each arm and weapon.

Ryuki - Should be easy to pull off, now that we've seen whats being done with Decade's helmet. High parts separation like Den-O because his palette is very simple. We definitely get the Dragsaber, possibly a Dragshield. Maybe P-Bandai Dragreder?

Blade - Will be solid, but his sword will probably have a big sticker in front. I will be impressed if they pull off the red lines in his kneepads and chest armor with parts. Comes with giant clear plastic card for him to run through. A cracked helmet would be awesome but that introduces a whole new runner for skin.

Kiva - Separate parts for leg that can open. Clear Fuestles with stickers. Multiple Kivats. 1/6 scale violin would be awesome! As a tribute to Seiji Takaiwa, the kit includes tiny metal chains which add a lot of weight to the mantle.

OOO - Parts separation on par with Faiz. The chest emblem would be hard to do in parts, but stickers seem unlikely. So perhaps pre-painted parts? Or else they are molded into the color, and you use black stickers in recessed areas. Definitely has combo change capability. High chance on Batta legs and multiple Tora Claws (closed, open, articulated). Definitely some more stuff on the red runner so Taka shield and/or Ankh arm with heavy stickers. Medajaribur is all black with big sticker.

Fourze - All four base states included. This means color separation for limb indicators (blue, yellow, orange, etc). A silver runner for drill head, rocket thrusters, and body parts. Orange stripes on body are the same orange as rocket. Orange on thighs are possibly stickers.

Wizard - Beautiful kit potential here with clear red parts all over. WizardSwordGun is certain. Plastic effect part for magic gate. Belt is a sticker but can flip around. Lots of hand options with rings on them. Plastic cape options (straight down, flowing out) that hinge below the waist, however, a cape with red inside and silver lining would be very tricky. Either all black cape, or a giant red sticker on inside.

Gaim - I would hope for shiny plastic on the blue, but wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. Most of the budget will go into the armor which is made of silver runner, metallic orange runner, and gold runner. The decorations on on the forearm and above the knees are likely stickers. Definitely includes Daidaimaru and Musou Saber. Small green runner for hilt and top of head! Foil sticker for head crest which goes on the gold runner used throughout body.

Drive - We need gloss black here, but Bandai has an iffy history with glossy black plastic in plamo so who knows. Absolutely gloss red for red plastic. White stripes on the side are probably stickers. Door-Ju and Handle-Ken with clear blue runner parts. Because the palette is so simple I think we only get Max Flare tire change because it can share orange runner with the orange on Drive's shoulder pads.

Ghost - I think this is actually the trickiest suit for a plastic model. All bets are off, but I think soft plastic for hoodie with optional parts for hood up and hood down - either way, a nightmare to get that orange trim (stickers galore). Perhaps for a lot of the kit the budget goes into clear plastic parts that go all over the body which is black plastic covered in orange stickers. Or maybe just the chest and head is like that, and the rest of the body is stickers (like the SHF). I do think we will be able to separate the jacket from the body to create a transient form like Den-O's plat form. And a stand to make the jacket float.

Gan Gun Saber for sure and it should really use the same clear plastic from the Ghost Driver, but could ultimately be one giant sticker. Again, the hoodie going over the shoulders means we may end up with some funky joints.

I definitely feel like Agito, Ryuki, OOO and Drive are going to be the easiest to pull off and have the highest amount of parts separation.

In specific reference to Kiva and Fourze, I think they'll be a bit problematic due to some markings on them. Kiva has black lines patterned on his red chestplate while Fourze has tiny black lines throughout his entire design. It's very difficult to see these being achieved through parts separation and they're too small for stickers, Fourze especially. I really do wonder how they're gonna pull it off.

I feel like Ryuki will come with both his Drag Saber and his Strike Vent. The latter is just too iconic and unique an attack to him to leave out; and I feel he could potentially come with some cards as well like Decade. Same with Blade.

Drive I could potentially see coming with an optional Type: Flare tire depending on how they pull off his tire to begin with; though I see it being a similarly simple affair to the SHF. I think if they're doing that runner anyway they probably could include a couple flame effect parts!

Agito I think if they're going to do Trinity Form parts they would include parts for Storm and Flame too (since that's just an extra chestplate). I'm not certain on how likely Trinity is to begin with though since that's a pretty hefty amount of stuff for a Rider who is pretty unpopular to begin with and whose main draw would be simplicity. Alternate horns for sure, but not certain on much else.



Either way, I think it's looking pretty likely we'll see an announcement around Hibiki's release due to just how fast these kits are suddenly getting made. Den-O was July and now we're getting Hibiki and Decade in October and December respectively -- that could point to a new main Rider as soon as February! Even if we don't go by that timescale though, we have in total gotten 4 main Riders this year and it's hard to see them slowing down in 2021, especially if they've apparently gotten popular enough to warrant making a Rider as obscure as Hibiki and even invest into specific plastic injection technology for him. We've also gotten 3 Premium Bandai repaints this year so y'know what, next year bring on Diend and more Den-O!

So, with all this Heisei Rider speculation going on, who do we think will be the last Heisei Rider to get released? And, for the sake of being contrary, why do you think it wouldn't be Ghost?

Amazon Alpha

I feel like the simple answer is that they won't; It's more likely they'll just leave them as grooves for you to fill in with a black marker, similar to how there are details specifically for panel-lining in Gunpla.

Kamen Rider The First.

For a more serious, traditional answer, I'd say OOO. It seems like they're specifically waiting for the Seihou line to finish before doing a 1/12 scale kit of TaToBa.

Nah man, didn't you see the CSM announcement? It's pronounced "Alfa."

Yeah Kiva they could potentially do a chest in all black with the those lines raised, and red parts are inserted in.

I think Fourze are just going to be engraved lines like some of his other toy depictions. They will appear as grey lines and some panel line will really help.

I should have included the Strike Vent with Ryuki. Basically everything that came with this Figma. I was hinting at using the head of the Dragreder, but it's probably too big. And now that I think of it, a 6 inch scale Dragrender plamo would be amazing, though highly unlikely now.

Also if the Ryuki helmet is done the way I think it will be, I hope it comes with a spare- it could be mighty fragile and might not... survive.

man, that's a really good idea, is the plastic effect part will be like that one from SRC Magiking?

the flip gimmick for the belt? it's easy, maybe will be the same as ziku driver, but smaller

each hand parts with rings on them? that's very possible, but i wonder if it will include a sticker for the rings or it's just a black unpainted part.

and for the cape... maybe it will be a red part inside and black part outside with silver stickers, or it will be like Revolech Batman's cape, i know, it's impossible.

Honestly, I think OOO is gonna be the very next one. They didn't exactly wait on Seihou until they did Den-O, and OOO is both extremely popular merch-wise and one of the simplest ones to do. I think they're going to do a post-Decade rider or two next so I think it'll be him and someone difficult that'd be impressive, like Ghost or Wizard.

when do you all think the next reveal month is?

maybe november? or january?

I'm betting around or just after Hibiki, so yeah, October or November.

Could be wrong though! Could be so amazingly wrong and we see nothing till April!

I'm just hoping the line gets popular enough to where it starts branching out into the Figure-Rise Mechanics line. Alot of the bikes are super expensive now, and having newer, cheaper alternatives would be very welcome, I'd imagine.

This is exactly why Agito and Cross-Z can't come quick enough for me :p

I would VERY much welcome a FRS Trychaser or Beatchaser though. Like, damn, that would be a beauty of a display piece...

well... we got Kuuga, Joker, and Genm (and Den-O teaser) around September 2019, we got Den-O reveal around February 2020, we got Hibiki reveal in April (poster?), and there's full Hibiki and Decade reveal in May.

it takes 1-5 month for next reveal, does that mean... we'll get a new reveal in September/October?

Yeah an effect part like that. Belt rotates like Ziku driver. A gold part with black sticker would look great, but because there no other gold on the kit I'm not sure we get that.

I think the hands will be all black with the loop of the ring molded on, then a hole for the top of the ring to be placed in (ring is silver with colored sticker). Those will be some tiny pieces!

A thin two-part cape is pretty rare for plamo. Especially if there's a "flowing" version. I'm still disappointed with W's scarf thing so I'm apprehensive on cloth stuff.

I also think OOOs is sooner rather than later. Based on popularity and how his combo change gimmick fits into the line so well.

If all the armor on Agito is the same kind of plated gold that was found in Kuuga, then yeah the budget might just keep it to the figure and no other forms or accessories.

Also who is gonna get a toe bend???

maybe Agito or Kiva

Amazing Mighty's gold runner

Unfortunately there is no sticker pic

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...14/unknown.png

the silver part of the belt is different than Mighty Kuuga, due to the gold part

Oh shoot Amazing Mighty's out now?? Heck yes! It shouldn't be long before I can finally ship mine :D

Where are you getting these pictures by the way?

... y'know, I just realised our next reveal probably will be October/November -- because that's when Tamashii Nations is.

inb4 FRS TaMaShii Combo OOO.

... There are so few new parts needed for that, I can almost see it happening.

Yeah my money's on Gaim or OOO to be the next release.

Kuuga has a toe bend.

Edit:
Oops! I forgot at add pictures.

I just saw this pop up on Facebook. Looks like they want to show off Hibiki's color even though he's still a prototype.

That's pretty interesting! Love how his main colour shines.

Oh wow, better get that silver paint ready. That purple color effect is so good looking, it makes that silver plastic look out of place. Almost like bone armor actually.

The seam on his faceplate stands out more than I expected. I wonder what can be done to hide it? Maybe a gradient paint job.

Either way, I'm suuuuper excited for this one.

I think that's more a result of this being a prototype

Pretty sure those are just prototype parts. I think the only true color is the polarized body.

do you have the original facebook link?

ahh.... i don't really like that clear purple part on Hibiki's face
it should be look like this

maybe we can use some satin purple like this?
