Since it's been his default appearance for a very solid chunk of the show, I could actually see that... I imagine it'd be more like a "Buffa Zombie/Jyamato Form" figure with Jyamato Rider parts

FWIW, one of the livestreams showed the Buffa skirt is attached to a peg on the pelvis. Not sure if it's permanent but its something

Honestly I have no doubt in my mind SHF upgrade will make a whole set of different lenses since they're all removable. If they're able to make light up heads, spare lenses shouldn't be impossible

Good point. SHF upgrade made an alternate build hazard head with multiple different eye pieces you could swap out for the different hazard forms.

This would be right in their wheelhouse

Shin #2 announced!! 8250 Yen in August on Preban... and also $80 in September on Preban USA! He comes with the same set of hands and wired coat as #1, but very notably actually sports different proportions to be very accurate to the movie -- most notably he's slightly taller than #1

Bleh, I kinda wanted to see the movie first before deciding if I wanted anything. But who knows when or if it'll get a US release; probably well after order period for No. 2 closes if at all. Decisions, decisions...

Of course still would need to secure No. 1 too heh.

But hey he's in the US store so that's still a win!

As for Geats, I am hoping for somebody with Monster next. Preferably Punkjack, but including a NudjeSparrow head would definitely get me buying 2 of it.

Definitely in for Nigou. Can't have one without the other.

Also in for Boost Magnum. I always try to stick to just base forms, but Magnum Boost + Entry + Boost Magnum may as well be required for Geats to get the full extent of his base abilities.

Speaking of Shin, in-hand look from Hacchaka

How many times am I going to have to look at OG colors Ichigo knowing it's next to impossible to get? The torture! Just a stunning figure.

The jacket on Nigou looks a lot better than Ichigo’s. It’s supposed to be leather in the movie though, right? I wonder why they chose to make a cloth jacket for the figure and compromise on the look like that.

Oh well, it’s still really neat to see a soft goods jacket with wiring and stuff in a non-seihou release. Bandai is making steps in the right direction here.

Edit: I am some kind of leather-obsessed fool! I looked up some promo pictures from the film and the jackets don’t look like leather jackets at all. I will keep my comment up as it is to preserve the L.

I'd feel like that would immediately kick up the price if it were leather instead of just cloth. Also, it's probably gonna be way easier to put a cloth jacket onto a toy than it is a leather jacket.
