Here's my picture from the first page in the thread -- FRS Ex-Aid, OCC Shauta, Seihou SHF Tatoba and SHF RabbitRabbit

Nice! and I could of almost mistaken that FRS EX-Aid for figuarts version...so with the size increase on the lastest figuarts I'd say they all fit well with each other.

I wanna hold out on a possible renewal but that Ryuki looks beautiful and spot on

I think the primary color will be accurate. Maybe some silver details but the rest color stickers.

With model kits things really come down to whether the accessories are the same color as another part on the suit. Fourze has the switch colors on his limbs but they aren't an exact match. But then again they have been getting better and better. Who really knows at this point!

Fully painted looks amazing https://twitter.com/otome_Ironman/st...732711937?s=20

I might matte top coat spray the red on Ryukis suit to give it a more fabric/leather look.

Just got the kit delivered. If anyone has any questions that haven't been answered by videos, feel free to ask. Won't be putting it together today because it's rainy and bad conditions for painting where I'm at.

There any unused parts on the runners, I guess? Also, I haven't checked it with all the recent kits that has these, but how bad do the silver-plated runners make nub marks?

Unused parts? I haven't built it yet, but it looks like there may be an extra set of dragraeder whiskers that aren't needed. As far as nub marks on the silver, it's a little gray, but not noticeable.

Do you mean a second pair of a third pair? Because the kit includes two Dragreder heads; one for Dragreder itself, and one for Ryuki's strike vent (because the head used for that is both a smaller scale and is on-screen at the same time as Dragreder)

That must be it. I just never noticed the whiskers on the strike vent. Building the Ryuki figure now after giving in. I'll let you know if there's anything unused for him that doesn't look like a dragraeder piece.

Doesn't look like there are any unused parts for the main figure. One tip: the forehead gem doesn't show up super well as is, so painting it a quick gold, then red with a marker or something makes it stand out better. Other than that, it's a great figure!

Oh. No missiles or radar? That's fine, I guess.

Wonder how'd they pack it in another kit tho? Since I can't think of any easy repaints to be involved with the missiles and radar other than Rocket States.

Accessory pack maybe?

Are you familiar with High Grade Build Custom?

Voila.

Six Switches!

wait, what's the other 2?

I just love the exquisite mystery of "Realistic Decal". Finally something realistic to decorate my Friendship Astronaut action figure! I hope it's something where he's worried about climate change, or social media algorithms!

Yes, I'm aware of those. Bought some myself, namely the No-name rifle and the Ballistic Weapons. But those were made in mind to customize with your other mobile suits, not just the one it was designed for.

Tho, I wouldn't put it past them to just release a HGBC entirely and say "This can work with your FRS Fourze AND gunpla! See how it fits with the HG Delta Plus!"

The missiles and radar already fit in the context of Gundam Sentinel, anyway.

Additional FRS news? Additional FRS news, if it do be allowed.

Lacus Clyne. I want it.

https://scontent.fmnl9-2.fna.fbcdn.n...71&oe=60A4AB63

yeah.. about the news there's also Fumina Gundam Base ver, i think.
there's many figure rise human model kits (dragon ball kits doesn't included) til this day, like Ayame, Nanami, and Asuna.

just imagine the humans from kamen rider or ULTRAMAN, that would be nice.
and ofc, anime styled.

anyway, does decade ever use fourze form?

Just gonna take a wild guess and say either fire and elec or the magnet states set.

No. At least not yet lol. The only Neo Heisei forms he's made use of are Ghost, Wizard, and Build during ZI-O I believe.

Zi-O himself, too! The other six though are fully replicatable in FRS just for fun


Sliiightly disappointing on the accessory count here... but really, I was always gonna be fine with just Rocket and Drill as that's all you need with this guy! I'm guessing the other two switches are for Rocket and Drill in the on position rather than off, which is a pretty good attention to detail!

A couple bits of information on the deco:-

- "A shading mold is used to reproduce the black lines on the body." This is the main thing me and a few others were worried about; how is a kit like this going to reproduce line details so small and still look good? Well, this is their answer! I like how they go all out on so many different new methods for each Rider's needs; first Hibiki's injected plastic and now this. Very cool! Talking of which...

- "Reproduce the difference in texture between a glossy head and a suit that suppresses the glossiness by making full use of different molding materials." Yeah, okay, they REALLY want to make sure this guy looks good! As far as I can tell this basically means his white and black parts are gonna be done in different glossy finishes, so I'm pretty excited!

A shading mold? Wonder what could that be. I can only think of two. One would be that they shade it themselves, or two, is that they're making use of the same pre-shading technology they used with the Figure-Rise LABO kits where they put a differently-colored plastic underneath the main color as and then have that plastic underneath show through the main one as to make the illusion that it's much more opaque and with some shading.

That'd be great! It's would also be a surprise to see it applied it on a Kamen Rider kit of all places.

ohh yess, almost forgot about that, lol.

they're really upping their game, this will be really good, this made me pretty sure if they would make Wizard, it will be gorgeous.

the cape

I'm honestly pretty afraid of Wizard; they've been making some great strides forward but I just don't see how they can do the cape well; it'd have to be optional swap-out position pieces like the original SHF. It's the one FRS I'm not confident in because of that

Wizard and Ghost. Tho, they have done those soft runners before, have they not? With Geiz? They might apply it there.

We've seen lots of cloth/cape examples in the FigureRise line, like DBZ. Lacus Clyne posted a few posts back is what I think Wizard will be like. One cape for the straight standing/henshin pose, and one "flowing" style suitable for a rider kick.

The Fourze kit looks great! The rocket and drill were the minimum I expected. It seems like the kits have been prioritized to be able to do a rider kick, or signature finish in Hibiki's case.

This of course means Drive will come with the Tridoron. Obvi

Bandai put up a blog for the three Den-O forms coming out. There is also a campaign where if you buy all three you get a bonus character plate of the imagins.

Edit: also lordy that butt sculpt...

Damn boi they all looks good together, especially Ax Form, well.. the weapons is just bland but that's ok.

EXTRA T H I C C

I don't know when the POs went up but AmiAmi only has Agito

Fourze sold out

Edit: Both are available now on Hobby Link Japan

That was fast! Has Amiami ever closed pre-orders on a Kamen Rider kit before?

I feel like AmiAmi will reopen orders for Fourze. I've seen them immediately sell out of some non-SHF Kamen Rider things (the Ryuki kit, maybe?) that then reopened later that day and stayed opened for weeks. Probably just some hiccup in the system.

Anyone know which Gundam markers or paints would be the best colour match for Build?

Yeah, the good thing about kits is that they constantly restock -- unlike figuarts, it's not the end of the world when something sells out and you can reliably expect to see it again before long. I've seen some popular Riders like Decade, Den-O and Build go out of stock a lot before coming back

I'm not sure about the blue, but for red you want XGM03 Metallic Red

Which blue did use for your build? Or are you still using the stickers?

I've put together some beautiful kits before (the standout being in that second image, in fact), but WOW Decade is something else. I had some issues putting the head together, but beyond that this man stands out like nothing else and absolutely shines in any display. Of the kits I wanted he was the one speaking out to me the most, and I'm so glad I listened. Beyond just looking great, the gimmick is VERY fun and adds to any Rider you've got so far (especially ones that never actually happened in the shows or movies) for an all around superb kit. Aside from the aforementioned issues putting together the head and the weapons having a little trouble staying in the hands... just an amazing job on this one, pretty impressed every time I look over at my shelf

That Amazing Mighty kit is gorgeous.

BBTS has Fourze up for pre order , but the $40 price tag feels a little too high. Anyone got a lead on another US site that’s also carrying it ?

In what world is that high? Retail price is around 25 USD for these releases, but the only way you're going to actually get that price is by importing. Importing is still a bitch right now, so a 15 USD markup really isn't that bad. BBTS is probably the cheapest place to get it in the states.
