Probably too early to say, but think Trigger here will come with his weapon? Each form he has seems to have a dedicated weapon, including this base form.

Doubt! Plus, it's the same weapon but with the parts in different positions, so they can easily just put a single adjustable accesory with whatever the hypothetical second release in the line would be.

Yep. I don't have the $120 to import that aftermarket Metal Cluster. I'll wait in a bit, hopefully he'd be around 7k-8k yen after a while.

Realizing, however, I feel will be much easier to get. He's floating in Zenmarket Auctions around for $50.

Hmm... I was wondering if I could use Realizing Hopper in place of Rising, but... nah, the original really does look that much better.

I'm very excited for Ichi-gata. Need to look into those stickers for Progrise keys people make, since the blank key is a lot more noticeable on him than Zero-One or Vulcan

Ngl, your signature is making me itch for a Cross-Z Build SHF as my ""definitive" Build representative on my shelf. I juts have the FRS, Charge, and Night Rogue so I'm a little unsatisfied lol.

I think for Realizing, they cast the armor parts in clear plastic and then just over sprayed it with the yellow green paint.

Its funny, Toei wants to retcon this suit into being a shining blue version of Rising, when it the show it was just the original suit

The Detail of heroes book has Realizing just glowing. Not shining blue. But yeah, it's just the Rising Hopper suit. It's just to make it look a little different, ya kno.

Yes, glowing. I lost the word there haha

It's still an amusing after-the-fact change they're using to justify Rising Hopper repaints. I'm surprised there hasn't been a Realizing Hopper So-Do
