I'm waiting on a Blade line myself, mostly because I really want a Seihou-level quality Chalice. Blade himself there's the FRS for but original figuarts Chalice isn't doing it for me anymore

Ryuki and Blade now that Faiz is coming. The Ryuki I own is my least favorite in my collection. I only got it because at the time it was the only way to get the large scale Dragreder. It is a really outdated mold and I hate looking at it haha

I feel a Gaim SS series would only be worth it if they figure out how to make the form changes. But with the work they’ve done on SS Den-O and Geats, I think they’re doing a lot of the problem solving already

I broadly agree that there are higher priorities for a renewal than Gaim, but on the other hand the show's 10th anniversary is coming up. I reckon chances are greater than 50/50.

True, Gaim's 10th is coming up... so perhaps they'll do some of the stuff they never covered, like Mars or Idunn? Perhaps we'll get a new Gaim 10th special and whatever new Gaim form in that happens we'll get an SHF of

Just got my SHF Shin #1 in and would you believe it, I'm also a fan! The coat is a little difficult to get on and off but it does not restrict motion quite as much as you'd think; he's able to do just about anything you'd want and expect from him. It gives him such a presence

Wow that Ichigo looks so nice and it's winning me over in terms of wants

I agree and feel a renewal Gaim line should find a way to incorporate arms change but I do find the current Gaim figuarts to be too skinny looking

Ryuki was my first figuart ever so I have a soft spot for him but I agree it's definitely time for an upgrade. I frown at the idea that their won't be as many accessories though.

SMH I paid $60 sealed back in 2012 for a figuart that I found at a convention that came with a crap ton of accurate accessories and an articulated dragon lol. It's crazy how the thought of something like that won't be possible again

Wasn't the articulated dragon only included to one-up the Figma releases? Not every Ryuki Rider Figuarts had their full Contract monster included.

I imagine a Ryuki renewal line would have Dragredder be a separate release with some of Ryuki's weapons. In general I wonder how many Ryuki riders would actually be covered -- Ryuki, Knight, Zolda, Ouja, Odin, Ryuga and the Survive forms I feel would all be guaranteed; but the likes of Imperer, Verde and Gai seem a bit more up in the air with how SHF Rider is now...

Kinda cross-posting here, but Ultra Action Figure Alien Baltan makes a fantastic stand-in for the Figuarts if you can't afford or find that now; or are just on a budget and are interested in having an Ultra Kaiju but not interested enough to drop a good 80 dollars or so. He looks real good pared against Seihou Ultraman

Huh, that doesn't look bad at all...

Obviously more simplistic paint but the necessary articulation's there and having pincers means no worries about the hinged hand look.
