There?s also a Zetton reprint that is coming out pretty soon in America. Ultraman SHF figures are awesome.

Yep, got him preordered already too back when he and Belial went up.

Was also able to find an SHF Golza on Amiami for a good price.

It's not a rabbit hole I was expecting to ever go down but it's too late now.

Okay I didn't know they were separate pieces! I just thought they were one molded accessory.

That makes it easier to pose them though. And yes, the silver hands are super useful, part of the reason I like Ultraman Z so much, the pointing hands are very versatile :lol

To be fair, Ultraman Figuarts is a very good quality rabbit hole to fall into :lol

But I don't have any of the monsters yet, but I hear those are very good too.

Anyone has the double seal tape problem with Arabian Knight ? some people said it's Bandai QC problems & claim they order it from pbandai

So I picked up that ?4th party? W, Masked Superman 1

First glance, you can tell it?s a KO just in the double driver itself-

It isn?t that detailed, and the side pieces are thicker than the original double driver. It also came out of the box with the ankles stuck, so has to heat them up to get them to rotate
Side by side with the Fuuto PI SS (knock off on left, Fuuto PI on right)

Unlike other knockoffs I?ve bought before, this one doesn?t feel like it?ll fall apart at all.

It comes with the same type of accessories as the original SS W, and a copy of the SIC wind effect and a hexagonal stand. I?d say if you have plans to make the other half changes, this would be a good cheaper alternative than buying multiple official ones

Nice! I have nothing against 4th party and 3rd party stuff especially if the quality is there. I feel they are a good alternative for when you want or need certain accessories or parts but yeah that W looks nice be used as a custom for something.

Bootlegs. Waste of money

Most of the time yeah. I think this one is an exception for those who can?t afford the SS. It is a solid figure compared to all the other fall apart ones you find on YouTube.

I agree, this one's just so obviously cheap and fake. This isn't at all like some of the "4th party" (such a stupid name) figures of Transformers that manage to get really damn close. I could tell that W was a fake just by the head, but then you look at the joints and sculpt and it just gets worse. :lol

I have to say I am a bit surprised we have not gotten a Geats SHF reveal yet. With Ultraman Decker they revealed the SHF within maybe a week of the premiere (it felt like that) and with Geats we are on episode 5 now and we have not heard a peep.

When that Decker reveal happened so quickly, I thought the next Kamen Rider might have an SHF announcement before the show even aired.

Also lol at that box for the bootleg. Masked Superman MS/01. They starting a line or something? Will it branch out to more than just kamen rider? The sky is the limit when you don’t hold yourself back with dumb rules like copyright, or quality control or whatever.
