I mean it matters to those who may not have had the figures that they're packed with and have a chance to get both with some small bonuses with them.

You really gotta try and remember that "I don't care for this" doesn't equal "Absolutely no one cares for this".

It's not "overlooking lameness", it's literally just common sense. You don't need to go down this route to get any of the figures included? That's a good thing. You've saved money. Do you want both figures and have the option to get these? Awesome, you get both. There's no hierarchy mentality here.

That's a really stupid thing to say.

I'd rather a bonus be something like a simple base, and not some unique accessory. Doing releases like that to me is much more lame, because it's feeding into FOMO, and that's way more frustrating.

Weren't you the guy who argued vehemently against reissues of previous figures because it detracted from their value for those who got the original releases?

Seems like Azu will be going up for pre-order later this week. Not very excited for this one honestly, but will get her for the Zero-One collection, hopefully she has useful / good accessories.

Saga and Exceed X go up on November 1st. Both are Web-Shop exclusives.

Exceed X is beautiful. Loving all the details they got on him.

I’m always interested in the “human” kamen Rider figures, so the Azu one will be a fun release. I just ordered a Kuroto Dan off of Mandarake, so now I know he will have a friend!

Azu's an easy release since it's mainly the Izu SHF with a new head and accessories.

Honestly it's nice to see her being done, I figured that window passed long ago. Now Ark and Aruto will have their assistants with them. Won't happen, but would love if they also did a red recolor of Ark-One in the future to represent Azu's rider form from the Zero-One Final Stage. Would snap that up in a heartbeat.

Saga is up on Tokullectibles.

Now that you mention it, I remembered that they released a Takeshi Hongo figure a while back. Anyone remember it or own one still?

He?s pretty cool actually. It?s a bit of a bummer he only comes with one facial expression, and you really could never capture the absolute majesty of his hair with a figure, but I like him.

He comes with one pointing hand and then eight pairs of hands, and he has a little effect piece which I have behind him in the photo.
