This is the same thing that happen with the drive figuarts. They did not include the handle sword and door gun unless you brought the other drive forms that were webshop release. I just sick and tired of Kamen Riders figuats getting the short end of the stick. It makes the figuarts look very less appealing and they come with so little they don't even include a stand with them. The reason Bandai is doing this is just to make more money off people.

Anyone know when the next tamashii drop is? Is it the 5th?

6th if I'm reading the website correctly.

Yeah, it's the 6th.

is it me or figuarts weapon tends to be a bit oversized?

No that sword is supposed to be huge, especially the pummel. It's also a matter of perspective, if you look at it from another angle it looks much smaller just because the proportions of it are rather unique and because it has no guard on the handle.

I see, I've checked it with the source material and it is supposed to be that big, perhaps I've thinking it's oversized due to the trend with the oversized weapon in figuarts.

on the other note

check the bottom of the sword, no naginata mode for ghost figuarts.

The Naginata Mode will probably come with another form or something. It has to at least connect for Benkei.

Yeah with Benkei it’ll probably be permanently fused together. Which really sucks, they made the sword transformable into gun mode with the one side being removable and everything, kinda feels like a waste that they didn’t just carved a port on the bottom of his handle like they did with Gaim’s Daidaimaru.

Well hopefully we'll get one that does have a port. Though I am expecting that to be a pre-order exclusive with his Bike or some random thing.

The only reason I can think of that they wouldn't allow the functionality is because the removable section of the blade has pegs on one side, and they'd rather it be more polished. I can imagine if and when they include the Naginata mode with something, the two halves will be fused.

Oh man, Overlord Baron looks absolutely FANTASTIC.

Specter AmiAmi pre-order page.

Going live in a little over 4 hours.

Spectre is mine, along with everything else I wanted (Trunks, Mace, Cap, Zaku) with no issues. Go figure.

And got him.

Surprised I got through as quickly as I did given how many things were dropping tonight. Even had to go through checkout twice because Mace somehow got duplicated by the end of the process though I swear there was only one when I started.

Cap, Specter and Mace. Took 10 min but got all three.

Nothings actually sold out at the moment. I think a lot of people didn't know it was tonight.

I got really bad lag for me. Took me 20 minutes to check out. I did got Specter, Trunks and Captain America.

Huh maybe. Mace and Trunks very briefly were (making me nervous because I was waiting for my checkout to go through the second time when I saw that) but are back open already. Meh, good for those who did.

Ordered Specter from HLJ, more convenient than AmiAmi for me at this point, provided I get it. Ordered it as soon as it went up just now so...hoping for it.

Specter lagged compared to cap. Managed to play a round on injustice while he loaded XD

Got Spectre an Hour and 45 minutes later because I completely forgot till then.

Got Specter :D

Nice to know that you guys got what you wanted without much hassle.

It’s another month with nothing for me though, I hope they start with their SHF Ultraman-series soon because that’s what I’m waiting for. Since Monsterarts is kinda dead I hope we at least get SHF Zetton & Baltan soon-ish.

Oh I thought I was too late to preorder but just got Specter and Mace Windu with no hassle at all, it was great!

Specter is still avalbile on Ami Ami. Don't think I'll be in a rush to grab him, his first run bonus just seems...underwhelming..considering that it's something I'll most likely not end up using.

Yeah, I'm eagerly anticipating that as well. July's preorders sound like a good bet as that'll time perfectly with the anniversary.

So wait has ultra act when same way as the D-art became part of the SHF line now

Not really, Ultra-Act are a different slightly bigger than Figuarts. These new figures are strictly Figuarts so will likely be better sized alongside Riders and such.

Whether the Ultra-Act line is going to actually continue however is anyone's guess.

I hope it continues with X and beyond that. But I will still get the first SHF Ultraman & the Kaiju’s, just because they scale even better with certain Monsterarts. It’s a little bit like how Tamashii made the Showa Monsterarts smaller than the Heisei and Millenium ones, I think that kinda works.

But for X I definitely want an Ultra Act-version.

The Ultra Act line seem kinda dead for a while since most of the releases are just web exclusives and reissues. The SHF Utras do look good and look a bit more like the suits since they don't seem to be as a muscular as the Ultra Acts.

What were you looking for?

Cosmic States.

I got Spectre but Missed out of Trunks..I hate myself. Anyone know where Trunks is still up?

Trunks is still up at BBTS.

Damn you, likewise.

Japanese release

Got my payment request overnight from amiami for S.H. Figuarts Fire!
