I don't think most would like Ratoratah and Gatakiriba's segments being different, because I think most would just want to display the combos as is. So having to buy an extra Tatoba because your Gatakiriba has insect legs would... not go down well. Just leave them as is and the only downside is a minor irritation for people like me who like Combo Change, but it's nothing terrible and it means I can have two Tora Claw sets for lots of different combos.

I can't see them doing Ghost since it's already up to par with modern Figuarts standards and the Ghost Figuarts line probably sold worse than any Figuarts line in recent memory. The only justification I can see for it is maybe if they wanted to go back and do a fabric hoodie, similar to Eternal's cape? Outside of that, Ghost doesn't really need a Figuart and I figure from Bandai's perspective, the demand simply isn't there.

Fourze is a definite possibility and he very well could be next in line but I think most people are cool with the current Figuart we have for him, even when compared to modern stuff.

I think we'll see them tackle more Showa stuff, maybe some Secondary Riders. Faiz needs a renewal the most of everyone we have left, but the fact that he's part of the 20th Anniversary line tells me there's probably no plans for a renewal of him currently.

SS ZX pleeeease SS ZX.

Of all the Showas, he absolutely needs it.

Oh, I'm not saying that I want Seihous of them (though i definitely want one for Fourze at some point), or that it points in the direction of that. Just that with a reason for OOO's exclusion uncovered, those exclusions don't seem random; so I'm wondering what the reason could be for those two.

In particular, I'm wondering if Ghost's might have something to do with a certain missing final form...

I can't think of a Rider who deserved Seihou more than OOOs.


and if they really do the Combo Change gimmick... this is gonna get expensive REALLY fast.

Oh please, please do combo change ability with PuToTyra!

And let's get the figures the show didn't have! I'd buy them all!

Can't help but wish Kuwagata was just thrown into this box. Maybe they could use kangaroo, panda, and hermit crab to get Lion, Cheetah, and Kuwagata out.

Arent the dino medals incompatible with the other set of medals? Correct me if I am wrong it has been a while since I saw OOO.

The Kamakiri arms don't come with TaToBa; they're just being used here as an example of the gimmick. They'll come with Gatakiriba.

They are in the show, but like, why not? More fun toy options are more fun toy options! You could mix and match them in OCC and S.I.C. as well

Pretty much this. It's not compatible in the show but OCC had them and it was a blast to mix and match them.

Yeah it really didn't stop them from making the Combo Change figure work with the other figures.

Thanks, I didn't see that. In that case, I guess it'd just be neat if a parts-pack came with those no-combo medals.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Momotaros Arms and Shocker Legs packed with the bike or something

Yeah I don't mind if they allow it, just wanted to fact check while it was brought up. Besides, we as fans always find ways to fulfill our imagination in the end anyways with these ideal/dream combinations. :lolol

Here’s the Figure Oh scans. Besides some more nice shots of OOO, the mystery behind the form changing gimmick is finally revealed! "Foam Change" as it is called here will make the figure change combos once you dip it in a nice bubbly bath! … Please don’t try that at home :lol

Love seeing more images of my boy!! Foam change means he's finally getting a bath

One very minor thing I'm curious about - and I DO mean minor; it'd be a cool extra if this was a thing but if not then I don't care that much - is that there's clearly cell medals in the Medajalibur. I wonder if those are those removeable or molded in?

The same thought occurred to me as well. I don’t see any obvious gaps where parts could be exchanged and we've only seen the sword with cell medals inside so I’d say they are worked into the sculpt.

Until I've seen the complete accessory count listed on the item page and can translate it I'm not ruling the possibility of alternate sword parts out though.

At the very least, we can see that the lever can move; so like the belt it's fully functional!

We also haven't seen the back end of the blade yet, which is where you could take out medals on the DX toy.

I don't know if the specific medals are removable, but yes, there appears to be some parts swapping going on with the Medajalibur. Some sort of replacement parts for it are listed in the product description. Also, that image also seems to address this:

The image/text is too small for me to really make out the kanji or anything, but I can at least tell the caption mentions the medals, and the aforementioned parts. I can't really imagine what else it'd be about.

I'm already getting mild PTSD from how easy it's going to be to lose those medals...

Awesome, thank you!

This week’s Tamashii blog entry focuses entirely on his OOO-iness, aside from a lot of gorgeous pictures which you can check out by clicking the link; we get a few important confirmations. These three things happened in the blog:

Firstly, Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO will go up for pre-order on April 8th in Japan.

Secondly, the Medajaribur will indeed include swappable parts so you can either have it empty or loaded with three Cell Medals.

And thirdly, OOO will feature a newly developed update to the Shinkocchou Seihou body which strives to reduce breakups in the overall silhouette while making excessive use the articulation.

that looks pretty incredible

glad they're actually integrating the swap gimmick

wish they did it more often

It's starting to become a trend lately and I love it.

The MonsArmor on Ultraman X is so well done and fun to use, so I'm glad that they're doing armor swapping gimmicks more often now.

It’s kind of awesome how the figures look better than ever yet are able to utilize gimmicks as well which past figures couldn’t handle.

Daaamn that looks nice...

What time do pre-orders go up? I might have work that day but I desperately don't want to miss this

Where do you live? It depends on time zones.

I'm in the UK

Similar zone to mine then.

In which case it's the morning of April 8th for you. Since you're one hour behind me currently it should be 8 AM, it was 8 for me before but we switched to Summer time today so it will be 9 in Germany when OOO goes up.

If you want to be super careful you can always check AmiAmi once you're awake on pre-order day, they will have the listings on their front page available, but once you visit the item page you will see the disclaimer with the timestamp telling you when they will be available.

:thumb:

Really interested to see how those forearm and shin swivels work out.

He really looks gorgeous in those photos. Just keep looking forward to getting him more and more.

Just gotta secure that pre-order. Was expecting it to be tonight so already had alarms set to go lol. Fine with next week, just gotta hope I actually wake up for it.

OOO' product page is up, so the final accessories are:

- 4 extra left hands, 5 right ones
- 2 replacement claw parts
- The Medajaribur
- Medajaribur replacement parts
- 3 Core Medals (Taka, Tora, Batta)

Not sure why it doesn't count the scanner; but I think it's more important to count the medals :p

I mean yeah, it's "Count the medals" not "Count the scanners" ;)

I stayed up to preorder it on Amiami but the site said server had issues and now it says preorders are closed, I'm sad

Same. Spent 10 minutes refreshing getting a server problems error mission, only for it to finally load saying "Pre-orders closed". Ugh

Good ol' AmiAmi for you.


This happens every time preorders go up yet they refuse to do anything about it.


I hope they don't mind the sale going to HLJ, which is likely what will happen.

Exact same experience here. Do HLJ put it up at a different hour or is it just some random time they get put up?

Honestly, I'm not too sure.

I'm as far as the cart screen, but when I click the button it takes forever to load.


Jesus Christ...

Three times I had it in my cart at AmiAmi, only for the system to screw me.
