On one hand, it makes sense that this would be 100th Shinkocchou Seihou and the design has always slapped.


On the other hand, I have no attachment to this movie whatsoever and I feel like Shin Kamen Rider kinda makes this one obsolete, so I'm a bit underwhelmed.

I agree with this sentiment. But because it drives me nuts, “SS” is the abbreviation for Shinkocchou Seihou (you capitalize the first letter of the word in English, not random letters) and the reason “SKC”(this is just so wrong ��)
even exists is because 3rd party manufacturers use it to not get noticed by/get around Bandai/Tamashii Nations lawyers. Christonnacrutch sorry if that sounds aggressive but it’s aggravating to read. It’s not how it works really. Teachers for Parents this stuff sticks to you
Carry on your thoughts are well worth reading

I bet our former reboot Shocker bigwig/Kamen Rider Balkx is happy about this. He's probably already dancing to this bop right here. :lolol

Can we not bring up the SS vs SKC thing again? We all know what we mean when we use any abbreviation of it.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

You Jinxed it and now we got the Ichigo curse!

Joking aside, I?m not surprised that No.100 is Ichigo the Next and personally I would have loved it if it turned out to be Armed Hibiki because I WANT THAT FINAL FORM!

So Geats IX SHF when? Because that is more likely to happen before Xross Saber sadly.

Can't honestly say I expected this. Was The Next actually popular?

Can't say I'm surprised, honestly. All the other options weren't quite landmark-y enough, or were too recent. My guesses were either "First of an Era" (OG Ichigo- we've already had all three THOUGH THEY COULD USE SOME REISSUES, Kuuga- redundant, Zero-One- too recent), or "Probably a Movie Rider", of which SKR Ichigo was again too recent, Shin was... Yeah, and J and ZO don't quite have the notability/notoriety.

So The First makes complete sense.

I don't think it'd make sense to release The NEXT at another time, since the movie itself isn't popular but they also want to celebrate the first ever Figuarts. That's why I understand what they're going for but also I get why people are disappointed haha

I mean I expected this. If you're gonna hit 100 with the Seihou line and it started as a way to update past SHFs, why not have it be the first SHF in the brand?

The First Ichigou is surprisingly popular with toku fans since the movie is still remembered fondly and the design is very stand-out. Nigou and V3 would sell if they get to them, too. Been seeing some JP SHF and rider collectors on Twitter freaking over this.

2028 would be a good year since figuarts will turn 20 by then.
