Weird, my Shining Assault Hopper's hips (his right especially) are tight enough to the point where they squeak a bit. Guess I got one that was really tight.

Yeah they're basically my last choice these days

Ultraseven anniversary stuff (Ultraseven, Pandon, Chogokin King Joe) and Shin Kamen Rider! More details on Shin Kamen Rider follow October 20th.

Ooohhhh! Thank you for the update on these. Thanks for showing off the chogokin king joe too. I had been sort of longingly looking at the old figure, so it’s great to get another chance at one.

This will be my first ultraseven and pandon figures if I can get them. It all is looking good.

Also I hope that duster jacket on the kamen rider figure comes out ok. That first promo image of Shin Kamen Rider wearing that jacket and holding his arm is so cool. I’m glad they are bringing that look over to SHF.

You're welcome!

And you're not alone, I also wanted the Chogokin King Joe to come back, I voted for him every time when they had the "Which Chogokin should be reissued"-campaign going on :lol

Fair warning: I expect a Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraseven announcement within the next year, maybe even sooner. If you only need one for your collection you might want to wait.

But there's no doubt these two will look great together, I'm tempted to get it regardless :)

I'm a bit bummed out the muffler is plastic :(

I vividly dislike it when they have both plastic and cloth on a figure when the material is identical in fiction.

They did the exact same last year, too; 55th Ultraman re-issue in metallic colours with the cape a few months before the Seihou announcement. I know how bad it can feel to get duped on that because it happened to me!! :lol

DID just get Seihou Ultraman recently though and he's MARVELOUS. Without exaggeration one of my favourite figures I own. Definitely helps that his accessory loadout is incredibly and everything you could possibly want (barring an A-type head or buildings but I'm sure that would have put a fair bit more on the price). Shockingly not difficult to get on Manda for close to retail price either unlike Kamen Rider so easiest thing in the world to recommend

I got the Seihou Ultraman reissue, it should ship soon, very excited to get it! I don't know if they are available anymore, but the building sets they released when the Figuarts Ultraman line started are awesome, I love those.

By the way, that's a really creative use for the Tiga shaking hand accessory! I wonder if it fits on my Seihou Rider 1.

Be still my Wallet....

It probably should! It actually only barely fit on my original Rider 1 - if you look closely you'll see the hand extends a little too far past the wrist joint - and I imagine that's just because Figuarts were made different back then.

It's a really cool accessory (well, two accessories; they strangely made it two separate hands but they lock in together shockingly well), and while it would be great for its intended purpose alone the fact it's just generic silver hands means it works for a LOT of Ultras and some other characters. Here's one with the other non-Tiga Ultra I have!

I've been really getting into Ultraman lately and it honestly feels like a worst time, worst place situation for my wallet with all the reissues happening all of a sudden.

I was hoping to get Ginga at some point? Ginga gets reissued.

I wanted more kaiju than just King Joe? Gomora reissue.

I think SS Ultraman looks nice and missed the initial run? SS reissue.

I just got Zero? They're gonna reissue his dad and another kaiju.

It's like they know.
