They could easily get more mileage out of a Kurokage Shin release by including an alternate, silver-belt Sengoku Driver and standard Kagematsu, thereby having the option to have him as Shin or a Trooper.

Though I haven't been crazy enough to see if the Gaim figuarts can come apart at the waist like Wizard to see if such a thing would even be possible without severely damaging the figure, so that may be a possible issue...

All figuarts come apart at the waist easily. It's just a ball joint holding it there and the belts are rarely if ever attached to either the waist or torso. It would be an easy swap.

Had some free time & decided to get my Figuarts Leangle into his rider kick pose :lol.

Oh. Well then. Awesome.

Get on it Bandai.

Meh, maybe i'll think differently when I see the Gaim movie, but I'm not even willing to go out of my way for Femme and Ryuga, and they are far more important than the other movie riders.

I'd rather spend my limited space and money on riders that are from the actual shows, especially when most of the movie riders are not even canon.

lmao :rock:

That is an awesome shot.

Wait, what? Aside from movies blatantly set in alternate realities that in the end have no type of connection with the main series, most of the movie Riders ARE canon. Heck, even Gaim's summer movie Riders were canon since the alternate world in that was being experienced by the show's Kouta and even had the main villain return at the end of the series.

Most of the time they don't show up after movies because they're either killed or come from different timelines, like Aqua or New Den-O.

Is there anything that is supposed to be going up for pre-order tonight? I know most stores are on holiday right now, but some of them have had new items going up anyway.

And technically speaking, both Kamuro and Mars appeared in the show. Of course you can say: "I don't count tie-ins", but they are a part of the show.

I think Kamen Rider does a good job with that, like with W you can see the destroyed tower, Gaim had Kogane returning at the end (and had some character development for Kaito) and in Drive the criminal in jail mentions that Shinnosuke arrested Lupin.

Bujin Gaim is a part of the Gaim-story too, even though he lives in a completely different dimension. And they completely missed the opportunity for Micchy to use the blood orange lockseed somehow.

Yeah a lot of Rider movies DO fit somewhere within the main series now a days...

The Tamashii Features Twitter account said the May drop (plus the Star Wars stuff) is on the 6th Jan. That said, Mashin Chaser and his bike wasn't pictured in the tweet so I don't know about them. I'd assume the same applies though.
