Now y'all know how I feel when I look at the shipping costs from USA to Australia. I had to give up the thought of purchasing third-party Transformers with my shrinking wallet.

It's not harmless at all, though. There is absolutely zero connection between RKF and SHF parts. Those 2 figure lines don't even use the same proportions. Even in the picture you posted, the RKF King Arthur parts are literally glued on with some adhesive.

Tokullectibles is def the better option for buying SHFUpgrade and Fullcart toy products once you factor in shipping or as others have said you're better off ordering more than one product to better justify the shipping.

That looks very good, don't it?

Just a heads up folks, looks like they've delayed the Seihou Decade Complete release from March to May.

Hopefully, it's about them finally figuring out how to fix the elbows on the Decade mold. Never knew why this issue didn't occur with regular Decade, but then happened twice in a row with Diend and Neo Decade.

Weird they don't have pictures of the lance yet.

Man, they've just completely given up on beam effects, huh? Between that, the prices, the packaging of accessories with other figures and the increasing amount of PB exclusives I guess SHF Ultra has now gotten just as bad as SHF Rider. Great. At least they sometimes do a re-issue :/

Huh. I thought it was always just the main ultra as the retail, the rest being exclusive. Big shame on the lack of a beam effect, though. This being a P-Bandai would make one think they'd put some effort into it. 7.5k yen and only coming with the Z-Lance is damn pricy. Especially comparing other figuarts in the same price point.

Admittedly there isn't too much precedent for cocurrent series having more than that as they only started with Geed, and of course Ultraman very rarely dabbles in more than one Ultra per season; but there's still a few examples to point to -- R/B being the biggest, having not just Rosso and Blu but even their Wind and Ground forms respectively at retail. That's a whole four retail releases for the season! Geed also had base Zero and Belial at retail though for obvious reasons it's a bit hard to count those; they didn't even come out until after Rosso and Blu.

Looking beyond that though, Ultraman's SHF line had a really good track record of releasing a lot at mass retail. Orb Origin, Dan Moroboshi, a metric ton of Kaiju, A-type Ultraman... hell, every single SHF Ultraman release in 2016 was mass retail, and then only four in 2017 were exclusives; two of which were just special versions of retail figures! And beyond that, the releases tended to be really well priced and came with a very satisfying amount of accessories; including beam effects. It's just sad to see those positives completely stripped away now.
