"Huh, not 1000 years?"

The lack of alternate forms in modern Rider S.H.Figuarts makes me sad simply because Lightning Hornet will probably not happen.

The suit is so good and the wings paired with a hornet sting Rider Kick effect part would look sick.

The kicker is I've already got one in progress.

Which naturally means that no sooner will it be complete and comfortably positioned on my shelf that they turn around and announce a Seihou.

Insignificant, an official release cannot compare to a one-of-a-kind item made specifically for you. That one will forever be unique, and most important, more personal than any Bandai-made figure could be.

Also no one's stopping you from having both. Not even money.

Oh that wasn't what I meant to imply at all.

I just know how it works- One of us really wants the thing, and after much waiting, gets it, and then Bandai/Hasbro/Sentinel/Whoever announces a new, better version of the thing.

Speaking of, if the Seihou happens to use the same general style of neck connection as some certain upcoming figure(s) from Sentinel, I'm going to be veeeeeeeeeeeeeery interested.

Either way I'm gonna need three Gaims.

Oh, the sacrifice. Yes I know about that. Works best on the reissue matter for me. Want something reissued that was released long ago? Buy on overpriced original release on the aftermarket, only then will they do it.

What's special about Sentinel's neck connections? I don’t think I've seen one of those yet.

I'd love to see human SHFs too, but I think it's very improbable. Unless the character is iconic, like Hongo Takeshi, or SUPER IMMENSELY MEGA popular, like Dan Kuroto, I don't think a human character will get an SHF release. Even SHF Ankh human form was only recently announced. If a series or character is able maintain its popularity LONG after its airing, then maybe we can get the human character SHF release.

Nothing yet that I've seen. But we've come a long way since the Armor Plus line and the OG Gaim figures, so I want to see if I can still make something work...

Yeah, of my list I could unfortunately only see Tsukasa, and that's still a very big maybe.

Yeah, Tsukasa is quite popular too. But there's one character that was already as massively popular as Dan Kuroto. The only man in the whole Kamen Rider franchise that is unanimously considered to be THE douchebag of Kamen Rider. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome:

To this day I still don't get Bandai's reasoning on not releasing the SHF of our favorite sociopath. :confused: It's a guaranteed easy money for them. :D Perhaps after SHF SS Faiz get released? :cool:

I haven't seen Kaixa get anywhere near as much popularity as pretty much any main cast member post-Decade, honestly...
