Maybe this figure will not go crazy Japanese sellers Scalper-world prices in the aftermarket...

Oh cool, they included scaled DX swords for the figures /s

TBF, these are only supposed to be sheathed, so I can understand why they didn't bother detailing the blade

Between these and the short-bladed Saikou in the gashapon series, it'd make for some fun photos of the riders or other figures using the henshin belts.

Oh man that briefcase with the Gaia Memories is really cool. Very tempting buy for me.

I was actually liking the look of those accessories at first because they are so dumb and short... but it being a solid lump of grey plastic puts me off

Looks like SHF Upgrades are gonna earn bank on hand covers for the Saber SHFs.

Oh my lord, I did not realize... you're supposed to swap the hand covers between hand sets? And they're not using metallic paint for the swords or bothering to put images on the WondeRide Books. What is this low rent toy line that's replaced Figuarts?

And UGH, I'd preordered the trio and Calibur. If I'd waited to see what the quality would be like, I'd have just skipped Saber until the inevitable Shinkocchou Seihou.

I think they mentioned some of the cost cutting decisions are because of the price set for the base retail figures so I expect the more expensive exclusives to have fist covers and painted swords (excluding Espada as his sword is the same model as Saber and Blades so in their minds they must match). As for the trinkets I feel as if they could include official stickers or something.

They posted a new picture of Dragonic Knight just now and the Wonder Ride Book is actually painted...wow...

Despite what I said before about not minding cheap retail releases skimping out on certain details, I have very mixed feelings about this.

Very interesting. The holy seiken is now silver again, unlike the inital pics and the WRB has the decals.

Guess we'll have to wait till the final product.
