This week's Tamashii Blog entry focuses on Kamen Rider Valkyrie and gives us a direct comparison with Vulcan. She's doesn't reuse the same body piece, her frame looks entirely different.

So it's another Marika situation where she's a unique suit patterned on a pre-existing male one that likely won't see any other use.

Chaser Mach arrived!
They didn't email me, they didn't ask for Mach Chaser back...he just showed up today.

... huh! Well. Not a bad deal, eh?

Well hey, that's cool.

It is really cool.

Dark Kabuto also arrived today, really makes me wish normal Kabuto was easier to get.

What with SS Den-O being a thing, should I expect a SHF New Den-O down the line? Honestly one of my favorite Den-O suits.

Or should I just get the Trilogy SHF since that one still looks decent?

I'd say expect it, but

A) Not at retail
B) Not for a while unless they want to follow release order

You can still find the Trilogy version for relatively cheap, so if you want to get it while waiting for ages for the new one to exist; I'd say go for it.

I'm tempted to pick up the original Ryuki and Ryuga releases...do you guys think they'd be worth it?

I'd say it really depends on what price you can get them for. Ryuki figuarts are in a strange place where they were well above the quality of other figuarts at the time and would still hold up okay today, but have definitely been outdone and at least in terms of scale and sculpt they might not look 'right' next to other figuarts. They're fine, but don't pay too much for them -- the 20RK re-issue of Ryuki is on Mandarake for 5500 yen right now, which is pretty alright.

And naturally, I'm gonna bring up the Figma Dragon Knight releases; which are way cheaper and easier to get ahold of. Both 'Dragon Knight' and 'Onyx' are on Mandarake for about 3000-4000 yen right now, so I'd definitely consider them.
