That's fantastic. I'm just a bit bummed that he's pretty barebones that his effect part is locked on Tregear. And yeah they need to announce Titas and Fuma. They'll most likely be exclusives, so we'd better save up.

I don't mind about the bike thing if they utilized the bike often like Build, but Zi-O rarely used his bike, hell it's basically nonexistent.

But yes, having the weapons to come with another retail Rider is a welcome change. Even though Rising Hopper is the most brawler-looking Rider out there so the lack of weapons doesn't bother me with him.

If they make Izu, it will sold out in minutes and Bandai will have no choice but to have her as normal release instead to keep up with demands.

Lol, they didn't turn Cross-Z, Grease, Eternal or any of Genm's SHF into retails to keep up with the demand. Just see how expensive they are on Mandarake.

Like, seriously. 20,000Y for Eternal??

Taiga "suffers" from the same concept as Zero One - he's an entry-way drug, so he needs to be cheap.

And there are not really any accessories I would include with him except effect parts. But - Tregear is a must have for me so I'm not complaining ;)

On the plus side, that probably means they'll have effect parts included with them. Fuma's energy shuriken makes for an awesome accessory piece IMO.


Even Build phased out the bike completely. Later than usual, but still. Zi-O and Zero-One though - you can count bike appearances with one hand, maybe two, and I don’t think we will get many more scenes with the Rise Hopper either.

But hey, now that the weapons come with figures again there's no need to get the bikes, so that's nice.

To be fair, some Web-Exclusives do get a second wave due to high demand, Genm Level 0 was among them.

I still can't believe Cross-Z was n exclusive.

Everyone else makes some kind of sense... but the secondary Rider's base form? What?

It kind of makes sense since Cross-Z appeared in merely 4 episodes before the suit was succeeded by Cross-Z Charge. Which is the form they sold at retail.

From a toy and marketing perspective, there's a lot of very odd things to do with Cross-Z vs Cross-Z Charge in general which his Figuarts situation fits into perfectly. The more you look and think about it the more it's clear it's not a normal secondary rider situation toy-wise.

Still bummed out Grease and Rogue weren't retail releases either. What happened to more than three retail riders? Ex-Aid had the main rider, Brave, Snipe, and Hunter Gamer.

It absolutely sucks honestly. Exclusives used to be reserved for stuff like Movie riders/forms and minor miscellaneous forms (agito storm, w heatjoker etc) but now they just take the piss. Do SHF Kamen Riders just not sell as well anymore? I admit I sometimes wonder when I see stuff like Seihou Accel refusing to sell for a bit...

Seihou Accel not selling well? That explains why he's only 5000Y on Mandarake. I might get him. Love Accel.

Hopefully Bandai announces Prime Rogue before my wallet gets swept by any more of the beautiful suits of Zero-One. I just want a figure of Gentoku that's not Night Rogue. Night Rogue is cool and all but pales in comparison to the rest of Gentoku's suits.

Yeah, I definitely wanna pick up Accel at some point. 5000 is a steal.

IIRC, there was some official blog post implying that Prime Rogue would be getting released? I can't remember what exactly it was, but it seems likely.
