Just out of curiosity, is the main character?s personality not to your liking?

Personal truth, Ace is a better character then Gotchard.

Ghost SHF's didn't sell well not because the series was bad, but because the figures' articulations were very severely limited in the torso area (and also shoulder, arm, and hip, to the lesser extent) due to the use of hard plastic to mimic the clothes. It basically disabled the articulations in those areas. Had the cloth part was made of fabric, or at least flexible PVC plastic (like on SHF Buffa), then the articulations would've been way better and worked as intended. Accuracy- and proportion-wise, they were even better than Ex-Aid SHF's (hello Ex-Aid, Genm, Cronus, and Para-DX). Their accuracy and proportion were at least equal to Build or Zi-O SHF's.

Toy sales do not always correlate with the quality of the story. There are other series with equally bad or even worse stories as Ghost's, yet their SHF's and other toys sold well. Revice and (God forbid) Geats were waaay worse than Ghost, story-wise, but their SHF's have been selling well.

I have not been watching Gotchard, but if the figure looks good, I will get it.

Unprompted breakdown of Reiwa SHFs follows:

Zero One SHFs are pretty cool. My only problem is the feet on the force belt guys like Horobi. They can’t balance well at all.

Saber - I don’t know if it’s controversial to say this, but these just don’t feel as good as other SHFs. I don’t like them that much. Only one I have kept out of the packaging is Sabela since I tried to group up the Girls Remix characters. I would say the best one is Dragonic Knight Saber. The most disappointing figure I own (non-Shin Zetton category) is Jaou Dragon with that extremely sticky and heavy cape.

I can’t say I liked the Revice SHF line that much. I’d say my favorite figures from that line were Jack Revice and Jeanne.

I’m obsessed with the Geats Line though. Don’t ask me how many entry form geats I have bought. Or Buffas. Don’t ask me about the four Buffas I have bought! Please, don’t!

So my ranking - Geats > Zero One > Revice > Saber

Yeah I don't like Hotaro much. It's always a big yikes to me when they write teenagers that act like preschoolers, and I'm generally not a fan of the dumb catchphrase and blind idealism. The last trope can work if it eventually has real consequences, but will it? Nah.

It's not just him though, the whole show isn't for me, but that doesn't belong in this thread.

I can agree with that. I feel bad about Revice though; there are some really cool suits they never bothered to adapt. I feel like Kamen Rider Vail was done dirty, although given how his belt worked and what the character would become they might actually not have wanted to produce too much merch at the short time he was relevant.

Destream is great too though, that's one I will actually get if they put it up for order, the prototype looked cool.

Gotchard is not doing anything for me will pass on all the figuarts it just so boring why toei used loudmouth riders again and again is beyond me.

Will definitely get a figuart of Legends so much better rider. I enjoying the Geats line it a lot of fun to swap the parts that the selling point of the line. It also help to get what favorite form you want with geats gimmick.

Still hoping for SHF Kamen Rider Seeker

Not trying to clog the thread with it but I share the same thoughts as well about Gotchard which is why I said I'm stopping with the Geats figuarts line which is a good thing for my wallet 😆.

As for my thoughts on the Reiwa series in the figuarts line I personally feel the Revice line was done the best

In terms of offering accessories like vistamps with each release and the different weapons combo of the hammer and sword while also including character specific weapon and add-ons. I'm just saying the display and playability is high and I still love looking at my KR Demons

The Live figuart really sold me on the design and love messing around with him.

Oh that is a good point about the Revice line having the painted gimmicks. That was so nice to see after the unpainted ridebooks, and progrise keys.

The zero-one line is obviously cool because the series has very nice designs and are more

From a poseability standpoint some of my favs from the Saber line is Kaizen, Blades, Sabela and Saikou personally but I've said it before having all the SoL Riders displayed together really highlight how good they look in figuart form and I feel base form Saber is the weakest of the releases in terms of engineering.

Idk aside from the poor choice of plastic for the skirt parts, the dragon shoulder part sits too high imo and makes the arm look awkward when having him in a static pose.


As for the Geats line the lack of true changeable parts between all Riders has disappointed me especially when it comes to Nago.

Idk why they didn't include entry form parts for Nago when she was using that form pretty much for like the 1st ten episodes...I already know why Tycoon and Buffa got one because they have the mold for males

Idk for me I'll just focus on getting Geats' Super and Final forms, when/if Geats IX gets confirmed, Tycoon Bujin Sword hopefully, and then KR Gazer because that's too nice of a design to pass up

The form change stuff works brilliantly for Geats, but I really wish they had thought it out better for the other riders.

As far as the female entry form goes, I am imagining they could do a set with the heads of maybe 3 female riders and then include a female entry form body. Seems reasonable to me. It could probably sell for the same price as the male entry heads set. But this is just me being hopeful. They could just abandon the revolve change gimmick and make other forms that don’t have it.
