As much as would absolutely LOVE to see those (especially Crimson Dragon), I reckon they're on the bottom of the priority list unfortunately.

Is is still even possible to buy this year tamashi nations exclusives at retail price?

Since they are all lottery sales - probably not. Haven't seen a pre-order myself and should some retailers get stock they’ll put a hefty fee on it for sure.

Saw oversea retailer putting up preorder for both for roughly $200 USD before international shipping. Not sure to pull the trigger or wait until later to see how’s the price going? Last year exclusives did not jump too much on prices

I will wait myself, the overall volume of produced figures isn't decreased, only the matter of how they are sold changed.

So I'd say prices for these might get better over time, once people realize it's not that limited in numbers and not terribly sought after.

Yeah, I preordered too early for last year exclusives and overpaid, especially on OOO tamashi combo. I most likely will wait and see also. Thanks for the suggestion

I just hope it works out. Time will tell!

@Topic:

That's less than I expected. I want Durandal and Sabela so I hope we see prototypes of those in November at their event.

Well, you've also gotta consider that we haven't seen Saber's V-Cin stuff yet. I could only reliably predict and hence put down Espada's new form, but 01's V-Cins for instance had a total of four new Rider suits; and we might see the same for Saber. Possibly stuff in the inevitable Revice/Saber movie, too?

... oh, and I also forgot to put down Super Hero Senki. Maaaybe that'll make it. I think it would be very funny if that was the only Sentai SHF in years

Would just like to say Ume Musume (that horse girl anime lol) is getting at least a single figuarts release. I'm only saying it in this thread, because they seem to have a relationship with Kamen Rider in that the characters do many of their poses and same studio is going to make Fuuto Tantei.

In more related topics, I'm kinda curious on how they might Wonder Almighty. Will they just make the red chrome? Transparent like the prize figure?

Yeah, I find it unlikely they'll happen. Default Xross is how Saber's final form will be identified in promotional material from now on. Tho, I wouldn't hold out them doing Featuring Saber if they really wanted to. They have the mold for it already.

Anybody get payment requests/shipping notifications for Dark Kiva yet?


It feels like this release is taking longer than usual, though I know shipping is a bit of a mess right now.
