Pretty gutted I didn't get that 3,000 yen Nazca off of Mandrake. I think that is the first time I've lost out on something there.

My god he looks beautiful.. All of them have.

But I'll probably never be getting one.

Man getting all the Gaim Riders is gonna be fuuuuun...

There's literally not a single Rider I don't want from the series.

Yeah that figure looks very off compared to Gridon. He's not one of my favorites so I'm probably not going to get him.

I'm not surprised by the web exclusiveness, but I kind of expected him to be in a 2-pack with the pinecone one.

The chest looks a bit off to me but I still want him since I love the character.

Goddamn it, I just filled out the last one :lol

This is why I don't fill them out. You got it all filled out and then...BAM! New release :lol

:lol

Just add only the new pics. It's a pretty easy thing to do.

But this is probably the last time I do the updates myself. Despite SEEMINGLY being a community-driven effort... just kinda got shit on ignored at 4chan for doing it sooo yep. Just gonna let the "regulars" continue taking an eternity I guess.

(But I'm sticking with the images I chose for what I post here cuz screw them. Plus he still insists on not putting in MMPR Yellow. So whatever.)

So Gridon? Im tempted, but he looks off to me. That and he isnt much of a character in the show. So I think Ill just see if I want him after release.

Out of all of the riders, why him? Why not ones that actually matter?

Anyway, he is a web exclusive, so I'll pass on him. Except for Sigurd, I'm only going to bother with the ones Bluefin releases.

So what's the deal with the base form SHF Accel? There is quite a few of them on Mandrake, but they are pretty darn expensive, between 4 and 6 thousand yen a piece.

Like? Besides Kurokage, he's one of the first six Riders in Gaim, and Zangetsu and Ryugen are probably in June or July as standard releases. We won't know what standard releases are in June until the end of this month (unless they do them like Gaim and Baron, and do them on the 14th or 15th), and won't know the ones in July until the end of March.

So yes, we're getting Gridon before the only two other relevant Riders before him, because they're showing off July exclusives now, because exclusives go up before regular releases.

Do you even collect Figuarts? This isn't a new thing.

His colours seem to light, but that MAY be because of lighting? I dunno, he really should be darker. Sculpt wise he's excellent. Though the compound effect looks, I dunno, too big? Or I may be wrong considering how many arms feature yellow eyes.

Though yeah, Kurokage or Bravo would be better. Hell, we don't even have official photos for Ryugen and Zangestu by themselves.

It's...

It's complicated. Basically, compared to just about any Figuart, the W ones are not good. Lacking in accuracy, more primitive engineering. They're old, and it shows. Accel, thus, is old, and unlike CycloneJoker never got reissued to my knowledge. They are in DESPERATE need of a revamp, which I certainly hope will happen.

But wait, there's more! He's also a notorious example of the W Figuart's problems with accuracy: his helmet is a smidge oversized and totally messed up, with a weird, wide, droopy visor. Oddly enough, this was fixed somewhat. Accel Booster, a oft-forgotten movie-exclusive upgrade, included a replacement head. More accurate, but sadly a touch undersized. But basically, if you want the best Accel SHF, you gotta get the original AND Booster, meaning both figures get price jacks.

You see why now I decided to go with the model kit as soon as I got one. And no, there is no SIC Accel which is bullshit IMO. God how freaking COOL would it be? I'm not even sure if Project Bm got to Accel.

Shame I can't put model kits together for shit. I guess I dodged a bullet with Accel then, thanks to those prices.

Just out of curiosity do any of the older figuarts hold up to the newer ones?

I'll probably get Skull and Accel's figurises since I'm slowly getting better at models. But personally, I'll still get the other figuarts since, well, W.

Have to agree that Gridon looks a little off, however, Gaim is starting to overtake Blade as my favourite Kamen Rider despite only 16eps in so im tempted to get at least the base form of everyone.

I think its safe to say, Bandai will not be playing with us by making our beloved Zangetsu an Exclusive now.

I really like VE Decade and Mighty Kuuga.

Anyway...mine.

It's already missing Alternative and Cure March!

Who's to say he doesn't matter? He hasn't done much yet, but the writer said he was his favourite character and he was typically shown in all of the pre-release material along with Gaim, Baron, Ryugen and Zangetsu. He's obviously not as important as the main four, but.. never give up!

Bravo is more relevant than Gridiron. Hell, Kurokage is more relevant because they are now the footsoldiers of Yggdrasil. In fact, in their debut, the Energy Riders became more important than Gridiron. Gridiron did absolutely nothing from the moment he showed up and has not been seen in like 2 months. For all we know, Gridiron will die in the next episode he appears in.

Bravo's being officially revealed this Sunday, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Again, so far. I'm pretty sure Gridon will be sticking around until the end of the show, that's his whole shtick. Where as Bravo and the Energy Riders will likely be dealt with by the end of the next arc.

I really don't see your problem.

Gaim and Baron are already on their way. Ryugen and Zangetsu are already confirmed and it's likely they're coming out very soon. Bravo will be revealed Sunday.

That's all of the first generation Riders with the exception of Kurokage, who's basically become a foot soldier.

Just relax. Everyone will get released eventually, just not in an order that you personally prefer. Also just because he's not important now doesn't mean he won't be important later. And frankly, there has to be some logical reasoning for the crew of Gaim to think Gridon is their favorite character.

I don't understand the drive behind being upset over which Gaim rider comes out next.

We're going to see them all released in the end, so who cares who's released first?

I'm almost more excited to see what the Gaim Figuarts packaging looks like than I am for the actual figures. I wasn't that particularly impressed with the Wizard boxes, but I still love the Den-O ones a great deal.

Before you start babbling about another pointless argument could you at least spell the name correctly? It isn't "GridIron" as you've typed it. His name is Gridon, a play on the japanese word Donguri, meaning Acorn

And who gives a damn which one comes out next or last? This is the MOST PROFITABLE Kamen Rider show Bandai has ever had, they will make all of them. Just take a chill pill.

Depends on what you define as new and old, really. And there are some mediocre newer releases (Wizard Flame Style) too.

Honestly I think it's more mold, than time based. The Den-O, Ryuki and Faiz bodies are all amazing, IMO, and it looks as if the Gaim body will be another fine addition.

I think Gridon looks fanastic. I'm sure the colors will be better in person, considering what we're seeing is likely heavily photoshoped. I can understand the complaints, but I think it's very minor things and overall he's extremely accurate. Especially given the scale and price point, it's an incredible figure. I was worried at first about Bravo after seeing his AC figure was a web exclusive, so that's awesome that an SHF version has been teased. What a fantastic display this will end up being!

Just like with the other Ryuki riders, I guess the non main Gaim riders will be release as web exclusives.

What do you mean, just like Ryuki? Only a small handful of Ruyki riders were web exclusives

Is it just me but I feel that up to Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 16, only the Orange Arms and the Lemon thing for Gaim look attractive.

It did translate to a beautiful SH FIguarts figure and hence my PO for both Gaim and Baron.

The only thing I don't like about Gaim when he henshin is his fanciful but not stylized henshin posing...looks very awkward most of the time during the show.

Yeah. Only Gai, Verde, and Ryuga got the web exclusive treatment.

And Scissors.

And Imperer's gonna be an exclusive, too.

As will Femme most likely.

So technically only half of the Ryuuki riders got mass releases.

I sure hope they decide to do the 4 other Kyoryugers. I could definitely use a Yayoi as Violet and Yuko as Cyan. I wouldn't mind Kyoryu Silver either. I have Kyoryu Red and pre-ordered Kyoryu Gold but missed the other core rangers because I couldn't decide if I wanted them soon enough. But if I can get Violet, Cyan and Silver, I could still have a 5 person Sentai team! Haha

And Alternative. But I wonder what they going to with the rest of the contact monsters.



Anyway heres mine

Regular:

Ryuki
Knight
Raia
Ouja
Zolda
Odin
Alternative Zero
Tiger
Ryuki Survive
Knight Survive

Exclusive:

Ryuki Blank Form
Gai
Ryuga
Verde
Scissors
Imperer
Alternative
Femme??

10 vs. 8. Hardly a "small amount". One away from half the line, as mentioned.

Alternative, the two survives, and ryuki blank are form changs, and shouldn't really count. Femme isn't even confirmed, so it's more like 8 vs 5. Also, Abyss was kinda a ryuki rider, so 9 vs 5, hardly half the line.

Alternative isn't a form change though, even if he is incredibly similar. It's an entirely different character.
