I hate to say phrases like this because somebody will always invariably interpret it as entitled and pretentious and go off on you for it...

But no.

This is seriously just kind of not fair.

(Wish they gave a damn about their consumers outside of Japan, but since they seem adamant in insisting they shouldn't exist, as ass fucking backwards as it is, it shouldn't really be surprising...)

Trust me, I try to avoid that kind of mentality as much as I can. I would never use that phrase if I didn't find something to be absolutely abhorrent. If this were a one-shot villain or character, like Gaim Yami or Jam or something, I'd understand.

But this is Baron Lemon Energy. A major form of a major character. To my knowledge all other upgraded forms of Secondary Riders have been either normal retail or web-exclusive releases.

This just makes no gorram sense. Baron was hugely popular, he wouldn't not sell if they put him out as a Web Exclusive. I really don't know of any other way to put it other than it being plain unfair.

To be honest, I anticipated this and just got AC Baron to stand in for Lemon Energy Arms.

Although if this is going to happen to Lemon Energy Baron, I fear for how they're going to release Ryugen Yomi...ugh.

Kinda wishing I'd preordered Yomi now. Ah well... Looks like I'm not trading in my AC Baron any time soon then.

Meh... I already settled on buying Duke only, since I will pick up Mango as well I don’t need another Baron with an armor that I already get on Duke. And Duke is just the overall better design for Lemon Energy. So it really doesn’t hurt not getting the Lemon Baron.

The only thing we really need is Lord Baron after all, that one's more important for the character.

What I don’t understand though... they basically have a license to print money with things like Baron Lemon Energy where every part is already done, why not release it to the open market? I guess they have something going on with how they can only release an amount of figures on the market and do the rest as Exclusives, but it's still stupid.

And we have some new Kuuga images from Jefusion. Apparently he's set for release in April 2015.

I freakin' need this...

I don’t know if someone posted this already, but if I understand the Tamashii homepage correctly Agito Burning Form will get a re-release next March.

He looks outstanding, but I'm just not invested.

I agree. I won't lie, the renewal looks damned amazing and beautiful. But considering I own and love the original figure, it makes spending $50 for the character again not that appetizing. If I ever do get the renewal it'll be long after he's initially released.

I'd never noticed that the markings around the bottom of Kuuga's armour was actually writing. That's kinda awesome.

My excuse is that I haven't even seen Kuuga anyway.

I haven't seen Kuuga but he looks amazing.. easy purchase for me. I did the same thing with Kabuto and Hibiki. I have nearly all of Kamen Rider to watch.. lol.

I NEED Renewal Kuuga. I already have all the Kuuga's, I'm not going to stop now.
Plus, it looks AMAZING, and I'm a HUGE fan of Kuuga (rewatching it right now, as a matter of fact).

He is so unbelievably sexy. I need him...right...now!

got my combined shipping order from cstoys for hakaider and kurokage. glad that cstoys seemed to fix there combined shipping for Bandai premiums, cause last month I had to pay for kikaider and bravo seperatly, and then they shipped in the same box. so now I wont have to pay as much shipping as with bravo and kikaider . so I will be saving a little under 15 bucks this time when I pay later today.

Hmm... wonder if they'll fix the shoulders?

Reissue already? Burning Agito is still pretty easy to find the last time I check.

The fact that he looks show accurate makes him worth it.

I've never seen Agito, but I like that figure- still need to get it. I agree though, it's still easy to get why re-release it? I was really hoping for something.. that is actually sold-out or HTF. Then again, maybe it is in Japan or will be by March lol.

Bandai, why do you confuse me soooo. >.>

I paid Amiami this morning for my Oct. order, which had a pre-owned SHF Blade in it. I can't wait to get him. I just need Green Clover & Garren Jack Form and I'll be caught up. I hope we see Wild Chalice this week.

Perhaps the idea (well, the hope from fans anyways) is that they fixed the shoulders this time around to avoid the breakage people were experiencing? I own one and it's fine but I haven't touched it since sitting on a shelf for fear of something happening; I have interest in the rerelease at least as a backup, but if the shoulders are fixed that's even better.

And YES on Wild Chalice, that's the Blade Figuart I've been waiting for most since Blade came out, even moreso than Blade King Form. I will dropkick babies to acquire one.

I NEED a Wild Chalice SHF in my life. NEED it.

It looks like it might not happen *that'd suck if it didn't*.

I guess I'll wait and see if the reissue has fixed shoulders- does Bandai normally do things like that? I guess I've never taken notice if they have or haven't. lol.

I have a lot of hopes for the Tamashii event.. but I should probably taper them. I always go into events thinking they'll reveal a ton of stuff, but the last couple of years it seems like reveals have been cut back. In general not just with Tamashii.

Almost all of the first release Kabuto Riders had knees that were bend inwards. All the later reissues fixed that problem.

Are the shoulders that bad on Burning Agito? I was plan to get him on Amazon, but I guess I will wait a bit longer now around March or April.

Now guess who the next Shinkocchou Rider will be.

EDIT: Oops. My bad. It's not Tamashii Effect.

So far the only shortcomings I can find with Kurokage is the usual gimped hand count that they seem to be giving the web exclusive releases, and the fact that I got a very sloppily painted closed Matsubokkuri lockseed.

Isn't that for another hero series with wrasslers?

Yep, Kinnikuman

If that was the next effects parts instead of a stage, I'd say Birth renewal yeahhhhhhhhhhhh jk

Might get that stage anyway though, looks fun.

So when should Kuuga be going up for preorder?

In a little more than 3hrs.

Ha okay then... wasn't sure if it would be today or tomorrow. When I checked right before posting that the on sale soon listing on AmiAmi wasn't up yet.

I don't have Shinkocchou Kabuto.
Is it a nice figure?

Hands down one of my favorite Figuarts that I own. Makes a lot of the older Figuarts look like cheap knockoffs IMO.

Some HUGE Tamashii Nations 2014 reveals people!

Drive & Tridoron & Tire Sets
Machine Chaser & Rider Chaser
Suika Arms (possibly in Gaim & Baron versions)
Marika
Knuckle

I'm surprise by the lack of Kamen Rider Sigurd :(.

I'd say he's up there. Each of the Gaim riders are standing on cut halves of their representative fruits. Look to the right of Zangetsu Shin and above Suika Arms, that Rider is holding a Sonic Arrow AND it's standing on a Reddish platform.

Guess this confirms that Drive is going to have the gimmick included on the figuart. Exciting news.

Also WTF at Kuuga on AmiAmi.
