Any clue as when SS Decade is due to go up for preorder? Or do we know nothing as of now?

Nothing yet. He could come out in November or December, me have to wait until the end of the month for further announcements concerning releases.

^Yup, that's how it usually goes. I'm waiting on his release date announcement too. I was so close to grabbing VE Decade until he was announced :lol

SS SHF Decade's little display card at the last event stated he isn't out until 2016. his preorder will probably open in September a few weeks after Agito is out.

Yeah, well I DID get one. And then the curse kicked in.... (-_-)

Well Kuuga came out April/May and I remember Kabuto came out around that month release. I think Decade will be out by Spring and another SS SHF figuart will be out by August/September.

If they really are doing it in release order, that next one should be W, right? Unless it's not a Kamen Rider at all.

I still wonder if they will ever do SS Figuarts of the Rider's final forms? I don't see the point on doing a SS SHF on Shining Agito since it's rather new and already a solid figuart. I remember Kuuga's Ultimate Form still being pretty good. I won't mind seeing a SS SHF of Kabuto's Hyper Form and Decade's Complete Form since I feel like that they could need a upgrade.

Since SS Decade's come up...I wish Decade's renewal would lead to a retail re-release of Machine Decader (a la the earlier Battle Hopper & Acro Batter renewals without the stands) but since there's been no news of a Machine Tornador renewal after SS Agito was announced, I'm not expecting anything on that front.

Machine Decader (and Tornador, actually) is one of the few bikes left I want to pick up still; missed a couple decently priced ones that showed up on AmiAmi this past month.

I am still waiting on more Super Sentai SHF let alone SS figures lol

Just sittin' here waiting for Kiva.

so. True.

I'm still waiting on Wild Chalice, which has a decent chance of showing up eventually...right?

You know what's funny? Saga at the very least has a prototype. Kiva, the star of the show, doesn't even have that lol

At this point I have higher hopes that we'll see an Ouja Blank Form before Kiva :lol

"We know you love vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein-"
"Yeah!"
"So we're making...SHF-"
"Kiva!"
"The Munsters!"
"What?"
#AnythingBeforeKiva

You mock my pain!

:lol

FYI in case anyone's interested, BigBadToyStore is selling some of the Kamen Rider Drive pack-in tires - Max Flare and both Funky Spike tires - individually for $10 each. If I'd known about this, I likely wouldn't've ordered Mach.

(Well, okay, maybe I would've. Drive and Mashin Chaser need someone to beat up on.)

Oh, I need this, thanks!


EDIT
And now that I see it, I'm waffling on it. The Funky Spike Effect is sold separately, also for $10. Maybe I don't need it after all. I like the Midnight Shadow version more, anyway. Eeeehhhhhh, I'll save my money for something else, I guess.

Wish they had the midnight shadow effect parts :/

I think prinny is selling it I the sales forums

I was looking moreso for those transparent shuriken pieces that came with the Ride Chaser, but thank you anyway!

Bbts has the funny spike effect that comes with the ride macher

FYI: for locals in the NYC area, Image Anime sells used Figuarts. This is new to me, but some here might already know. There's a Gokai Red with my name on it (don't buy it ya mugs!). I'm told it's an in-store exclusive, so if you're interested, check it out. Yeah, I'm sure most of you have cheaper channels to get your stuff, but if you're in the area, and want a figure on the cheap, take a look.

Brought a second Ryugen to give Yomi his own Budou Ryuhou.
Whats really strange is that he has a perfect hand to hold it, trigger finger and all. Probably going to paint the Budou hands black also.

I was just thinking...is there any chance we get an anime version of Kikaider? That's the version of the character I'm most fond of.

But there was an anime version. Granted it came out in like the 90's, I think.

No, he means a Figuarts of the Anime Kikaider

Oh. I was kind of confused. That's why I said what I said.

If it were strictly anime I'd be less inclined to say yes, but since the anime was more or less a direct style copy of the original Ishinomori manga then that might up the chances a bit. Especially since there's no Kikaider 00 in the toku version of the show.

That said, I would at the very least expect them to round off the toku cast first before tackling other versions and there's at least two more key characters to be done there. And there's a question of whether the REBOOT stuff will ever see the light of day...

O.o

Why is that strange? They expect you to use the gun from Ryugen with this figure so of course he has hands to hold it.

The second ryugen was only 18 bucks on mandarake and I painted his hands black for yomi.

Also expected if he had the hand to come with his own gun.

Why is the Ridoron a mass release but the Tridoron is an exclusive? Seems weird to me.

Electronics and other features probably. Tridoron has lights and stuff and the cockpit can separate with extra stands and everything. Ridoron is is just like the bikes, but as a car. Plastic, diecast, a little gimmick, that's it.

So I think it's because the Ridoron is easier to produce, and a better way to test the waters on how these things will sell without risking too much.

I know he's cheap as hell, it's just I wouldn’t pick another figure up if I have no use for it besides the gun. Didn’t know you're a customizer, that's a different story.

And they could've given him his own grape gun, but after Kiwami came with pretty much nothing except the DJ-sword and hands to hold stuff I wasn’t expecting Ryugen Yomi to even come with a Kiwi Gekirin.

This is interesting though. The Kiwi weapon wasn’t mentioned on his page, there was no photo with him holding it. That leads me to believe that Ryugen Kiwi Arms (or the rumored Ichigo + Kiwi two-pack) isn’t planned to be released anytime soon, so they just gave one Kiwi Gekirin to Ryugen Yomi since it is sculpted anyways. You know, so you won't miss out on the weapon at least if the Ryugen Kiwi arms ends up not coming around for a while.

Because it can then be sold in the US.

The US is not the main target audience for Kamen Rider since we are a niche fanbase in the states. As Kiwami said, the electronics and the other features is why Tridoron is a web exclusive. Also Showa nostalgia also helps Ridoron sell well at retail too.

Yeah, but don't forget that we also had our own adaptation of Black RX here (as bad as it may have been) that came complete with his own version of Ridoron. Also, IIRC, Black RX is insanely popular in other countries outside of Japan. Drive doesn't have near that reputation.

Man Rideron would probably sell like crazy in Phillippines, just like change the text to KUYA ROBERT'S RIDE

Wonder if my Kuyas and Titos would want it :lol. I know a lot of my family were fans of Showa series.

Haha probably, I remember when I first joined the toku fandom and came across a lot of Filipinos be like Kuya Robert and I was like who the fuck is that?? Where mah boi Dex at?

I was young.
