To break it down completely, here's every major 01 thing not yet announced for release split up into show and movie suits (Azu is there bc she was at last year's Nations):-


Zero-Two
Vulcan Rampage Gatling
Ark-Zero
Ark-One
Ark-Scorpion
Azu


Abaddon
Lucifer
ZAIA
Valkyrie Serval Tiger
Vulcan Dire Wolf

Knowing we have that much left to go for Zero-One has me worried for Saber releases and I figured maybe the Pandemic has caused the release schedule to change and for Bandai to prioritize Zero-One and the fact it's clear as day how popular the series is.

I'm stunned at how they seem committed to doing every form from Zero-One but I would really like to see more Saber releases such as King Lion Senki who I felt should of been confirmed with Dragonic Knight. Makes me wonder if they plan on incorporating his Lion form?

I highly doubt that, considering how SHFs focus more on the suit's details, proportions and articulation instead of gimmicks.

Saber releases have been going strong. Our last one being Buster which was last month. We might see Slash this month, too. Aftermarket releases leads me to believe Saber's line is popular enough, too.

They might prioritizing getting the cast out before other forms, it seems. But I think we might see some upgrade forms for this Tamashii Nations. I doubt we'd see King Lion's lion form, though. It's a 80/20 chance. I mean they did do Geiz Revive's and TankTank's tank form lmao.

Hell Rising Hopper (6,600 yen) and Super Tatoba (7,700 yen) are Tamashii Club exclusive sales as well as lottery sales.

Not lottery, limited Premium Bandai stock, just like last year.

There's one date for Club Members to buy and then 3 for everyone else. 2 before the event, one after. It's even more for the general audience than last year were they had specific dates for each Club membership, now theres one for all Club Members combined and one extra day for everyone else. Only Ultraman Z gets one additional sale strangely enough, and that one is indeed a lottery sale.

Anyways, It was already easy to get the exclusive I wanted last year, it will be the same this year.

I'm getting Hellrising Hopper, it looks great!

Oh, that makes sense. That's good. At least the exclusives aren't something I really need lol. Like Shining Hopper, Diend, and Hazard.

This is peak comedy. A third party paint company is making specific stretchable paints for Tiga!

That's the thing with Reiwa Rider... it's not like we weren't getting there to begin with, but 01 and Saber pushed the amount of suits into the extreme that SHF is gonna be taking a while on a lot of stuff.


In any case! The product descriptions show us that Super TaToBa and Hell Rising Hopper don't come with anything particularly special; just alternate hands and in OOO's case swappable claws (I fear for his elbows). Hell Rising Hopper might come with strangling hands for Eden like Metal Cluster did for Thouser based on this image? If so that's funny

Alpha Edge on the other hand is done up in metallic colours like Zero last year, but instead of a special stage comes with a Zestium Ray charge effect plus a pedestal for it. This jacks him up to 6,050 Yen though...

Very glad to hear about them keeping up with the limited Preban sale rather than Lottery sale too (could have done with that with W's re-issue at Features, bandai...). I think it's part of why Tamashii Combo has ended up being the easiest OOO Combo to get and I'm hoping it'll happen with Super TaToBa too
