I am only aware of how insane the prices and availability of Geats figures have gotten because I was, uh... sort of interested in getting a couple duplicates of BoostMagnum, so I could display them as FeverMagnum and FeverBoost. Not happening now!

My hope with the Gaim Seihous is that they do a Plat Form/Entry Form-style figure at some point, where it's the undersuit figure and maybe the gun, that's it, for a couple thousand yen less. Pick up that figure and the Arms pack if you want to also display Pine Arms, rather than having a bunch of Orange Arms accessories languishing in a box.

But why do that when you can force a bunch of ravenous collectors to buy the full figure at retail two, three, four times? :lol

Aftermarket prices are already so high for SS figures, I can?t imagine how expensive these are gonna be?

Man, I am so lucky. I felt FOMO for SHF Geats BoostMagnum 'cuz I skipped out on him before, especially after they revealed Buffa Fever Zombie and teased the other Fever forms (because why else would they have the ID Cores images of Na-Go, Tycoon, and PunkJack at the bottom). So I went scouring on Mandarake and AmiAmi, and found a pre-owned/opened one on AmiAmi that I immediately bought on sight (in fact it's why I now have an AmiAmi account). But he cost the same as the original preorder, so that's pretty telling how much Geats SHFs are on the aftermarket.

Personally since I have no intention of getting rid of my Gaim SHFs for the Seihous (since I only have Gaim Orange Arms, Kachidoki Arms, Pine Arms, Baron Banana Arms, Baron Mango Arms, Lord Baron, Bravo Durian Arms, Zangetsu Kachidoki Arms, and Marika Peach Energy Arms), I'll display my Gaim with Ichigo Arms, and Baron with Pine Arms.

May the lord have mercy on my wallet when they release more Gaim Seihous. Especially Kachidoki Arms, because I will go feral for that.

Managed to get a preorder through AmiAmi, so I'm good.

Shinkocchou Seihou: Shinkocchou translates to bone carving, while Seihou refers to "manufacturing method." Some people prefer to refer to it as Shinkocchou primarily as the first word is more defining than the second, thus ShinKoCchou -> SKC. While it's not official, you also see other people refer to them by shorthand as other terms as well, so I don't think it's particularly dumb.

Crazy? Absolutely. But more importantly, it worked. :lol

And considering this is Gaim we're talking about, that stuff's gonna sell.

They have reinstated their license to print money.

But poor Marika is still going to be the odd one out with no compatible Arms except maybe Idun.

I would love to finally see a release of Kamen Rider Mars and Kamuro. I know that's wishful thinking, but a guy can dream right?

With Seihous, like... does anyone even expect them to get through all the Energy Riders, let alone movie and V-Cin Riders? It's one thing when these figures were released at retail, but at a minimum of 9000 yen via P-Bandai? Feels like we're going to get Gaim's main three forms (plus maybe a few other Arms Pack releases), Baron's Energy Rider suit, Ryugen, Shin Zangetsu, maybe Bravo, and maybe Duke -- plus it'll take them three years.

It's honestly one of the reasons I'm not keen on upgrading from the previous Figuarts: I just don't think they'll do all the suits, so why switch over?

I mean, they did it with OOO, so I don't see why they can't. Granted we don't have Poseidon or Aqua, so maybe they won't do all of the V-Cinema Riders, but I can see them doing the main show Riders at least. Then again, OOO only has OOO and Birth.

I'm still waiting for them to do the Kabuto movie riders lol
