Oh yeah, if I am trying to convert the currency in my head while watching a show, I will do the 100 yen per dollar thing too. Can’t be dividing by 140 in my head! It’s cool to see that a big company like bandai can be as lazy and bad at math as me.

Pbandai US charges me sales tax and shipping, so the prices on tokullectibles (which does not charge for either) end up being pretty competitive. BBTS though, haha.

SHF Upgrade is doing a V2 of their Kuuga LED heads.

They're also making new style pose hands to make them more screen accurate, which is cool and all, but I don't really feel the need for them.

It?s cool and all but I?m hoping for more Geats upgrades preferably for Buffa and Tycoon.

Hand options are cool, but are definitely less needed compared to stuff like their Decade, Vice and Geats ones.

Just waiting on their Buffa and Tycoon heads and any upgrades they do for them. Preferably a wired Buffa skirt and some sort of universal leg wrap for Tycoon.

Oof, so I just checked the P Bandai US website and decided to compare when the preorders open up there to the time that the Tamashii Web one lists their preorders opening. And it seems like most of the time they're a 1:1 opening window. But for whatever reason, they haven't put Gazer's up, even though they opened preorders for a Zelgoog Robot Damashii that was revealed at the same time.

Soooo that's not a good look for the future of Kamen Rider SHFs stateside. Hobby-Genki seems to be unaffected still, since I can see Bandai preorders still popping up there.

Presumably the resellers that aren't directly affected are just going to be (even more) over-subscribed instead? I.e. everyone who previously used proxies will now have to compete with the rest of us for limited pre-order allocations.

Good motivation to scale back my collecting, honestly.

They aren't wasting any time with Blazar stuff :lol

nice

Ooohhh! Garon looking good.

Looks better as a toy, than on the show? I like both, but dang, nice figure.

Will it be oddly heavy like Sevenger or oddly light like King Joe STORAGE ver?

Anyone know if Earth Garon will get a US release? It seems like SHF Ultraman could be becoming like SH Monsterarts where they do retail releases in America for even PBandai Japan items.

Or at least that’s my wishful thinking based on what happened with the Metron rerelease.
