SIC Birth looks amazing, Drive looks cool...I have zero connection to Mad Galant, but my god he looks amazing and I may have to pitch in with one of you guys on a shipment for him...

So are there any close up shots of Drive? Every site I go to that has pics either doesn't have Drive stuff pictured at all or just the giant overview one.

Definitely yes to both of them! I need Battle Fever J figuarts and really want Big One too.

I'm seriously excited about all of these Metal Hero dudes... assuming they actually get released. Odds are pretty good that they'll release Gavan.

I was hoping for some more interesting stuff from Ultra-Act and Monsterarts. :/ The Tiga display is cool though.

All the Drive and Gaim stuff is still under a picture ban right now. The images available came from a promotional live stream video shown at the beginning of the show.

Of course they are... darn. Still surprised nobody's broken that yet like usual and got some sort of shots out, but oh well.

Well I just got official confirmation of a pretty HUGE list of the stuff that is at the show but under picture ban. About to throw that up on the front page. It's a ton of stuff. There's a lot of non-toku stuff at the show as well that's under the same ban.

Not funny, Bandai.

Just saw a list on /toy/ that has me VERY interested, but is non-toku. Nonetheless hoping it gets confirmed.

If the larger list is to believed, then they've seriously got a loooot of things under the ban.

Here's the list. Things that are confirmed at the show but can't have pictures taken of them. Two more Metal Heroes off the list excites me to no end!

Holy sh... :eek:

Holy shibizlewack that's amazing. I'm already all in for Gaim and don't plan to stop. This is what I hoped for in my wildest dreams. All in for metal heroes, Drive- I just want it all.

Damn, no Gaim Banana Arms.

Isn't the "stuff on display but unphotographed" list usually just something someone makes up with no proof?

We have partial proof of all of these. We posted those images from the slideshow presentation yesterday. Which confirmed the Drive & Gaim related stuff. You can clearly see several of the Gaim figures in the images, and all the Drive ones. This is an accurate list.

Bandai going all in on Gaim makes me both happy and sad...mainly because god that's a lot of money.

That said, I need to finish the roster.

Will you be posting a similar list in the big-time thread Den-O? Not to get off topic. Thx. :)

Really must have Overlord Baron now. I'm so excited.

I am genuinely shocked at there being a Jam, Kamuro, Mars, and Kurokage Shin. I don't know if I want them to complete my personal Gaimc collection... Especially since the movie's still not been released on DVD and dubbed to even care about the three of them. But Knuckle, Marika, Sigurd (granted these three can be seen in the grainy picture so aren't a new surprise), and Lord Baron (YES!!) need to be mine. Maybe even Ryugen Yometsuheguri...

Yomi Ryugen or bust.

Wow I can't believe how many of the Gaim Riders are getting made. I want Knuckle and Kurokage Shin to have all of Team Baron. I also want all of Micchy's forms too.

What no Suika Arms Knuckle with the giant Watermelon fists?

Well when do they get unbanned? That is kind of dumb to not show off the stuff from the newest shows. Or are they under a picture ban because only 10% of them are likely to come out?

How is it dumb? It's called building hype. When you learn the ins and outs of marketing, you'll understand.

Its not like pictures actually matter. Only a third of this stuff will actually get released, and that's if we're lucky.

:lol

I don't see a market for the Suika figures - those are big. I expect to see Marika and Sigurd (if their PB Arms Change figures popularity is any indication), as well as Mars, Kamuro, and Knuckle. Lord Baron too.

I suspect Ichigo Gaim and Kiwi Ryugen will be a 2 pack if it's released.

Kurokage Shin, Suika Gaim, Suika Baron, Jam, and Ryugen Yomi I see as "if we have time" or "maybe" releases.

Kind of like those Kurokage Troopers we saw awhile back that never resurfaced.

The problem with Kurokage Shin is that it's just Kurokage with a new belt, lock seed, and weapon. If you have Kurokage already, you won't be missing out on much.

I really hope to see Yomi though, especially considering how we got screwed over with Baron Lemon Energy.

I'd buy the hell out of Suika figures. I may be one of the few, but I eat up the oversized stuff.

Don't get me wrong, if they manage to actually pull it off, it'll be epic.

But just taking into consideration size and cost, I can't afford either. For me, the AC version is far more practical.

I'll buy almost any SHF of a toku hero at all. Bandai should market exclusively to me :lol

Agree on most fronts here. The second we saw our first two-pack, I knew Gaim Ichigo and Ryugen Kiwi would be next. I do see them coming out. I also expect Marika and Sigurd to be a two-pack once again. Lord Baron and Knuckle are probably givens as well.

But I'd swap Ryugen Yomi with Mars and Kamuro. They haven't really been doing a lot of the movie Riders lately, have they? Just don't seem as likely to me.

All that said, I still like to look at all these pretty things, so Bandai, get to lifting that ban already. :P

I absolutely understand. I imagine they'll be insanely priced if they come out. I think things like Suika are kind of prime material for the made-to-order aspect of exclusives.

You have good taste. Marketing to you would hit most of my interests as well. :lol

I saw a blog post mention SHF Zaborger elsewhere. I dont suppose it was mentioned on this same list?

It actually wasn't on the list I've seen. That definitely seems like something that's possible to me though. Classic or Modern Zaborger though?

Figuarts Suika Arms would probably cost as much as the Machine Itashar

how much did the Power Dizer from Fourze cost? I'm guessing Suika Arms will be in that range. Also nontransformable.

Ohhhh Bandai knows how to make me part with my money.

I've got a Sonic, Domon, and Ankh version of "Shut up and take my money". Which one do you want?

No clue.

oh well tomorrow is Saturday so I think the con will get more people going through due to weekend and im sure we will get sneaky pics tomorrow. or maybe even a ban lifted.

8,925 originally when it came out.

But Power Dizer was relatitvely small, I think smaller than Suika Arms.

Goddamnit Bandai...

That thing sells cheap now too. Like 4000 yen usually. Hopefully it didn't set such a bad example that we won't get at least 1 Suika. But we'll see.
