Speaking of scenery, is there some kind of city building set that I could use for my sentai minipla or other giant monster figures?

I'm not 100% sure if it would scale right but I know they made these- https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-.../dp/B01C6WCSEK

So, my foray into figuarts begins, with AkibaBlue of all heroes. Let's hope I get a good one.

Ultraman Geed got a Tamashii Blog entry with a few new in-hand pictures and some badass shots:

Sweet!!! ....how do I get one? Not on any English site I can find, and my phone can’t translate Japanese.>< Can this even SHIP to the US?

You'll have to use a middleman-service like NipponYasan or TokuTaku.

NipponYasan has it listed, TokuTaku doesn't at the time that I'm writing this.

Or wait until BBTS lists it if you prefer to buy from a US-based retailer, they haven't listed it yet but have sold exclusive Garo-stuff in the past. Maybe shoot them an email real quick and ask if they plan to offer it.

I have no idea what they will charge for it though.

Just in case someone isn't reading the news threads, the next Tamashii drop is happening tomorrow, November 28th in Japan.

So if you want to pre-order Ultraman Jack, Godzilla, W Fang Joker or a few of the new rock effect pieces, be ready!

Ok...so first post here


I haven't seen any info concerning Kamen Rider Lazer Level 0....and he is available for preorder on the P-bandai shop. Here is the link for those interested :


p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000119957/

And here is a picture of it ( straight from the site)

Premium Bandai items tend to not be discussed due to them not being easy to get, which explains it. Also one of the pics teased Maximum Mighty X again, which will probably be my second to last Figuarts

Do you mean from the Kamen Rider line?
I must say that I mainly collect SH Figuarts figures and just the Kamen Riders that interest me.

This version of Laser was the one I was waiting for though.
I think that after getting the main Ex-aid cast, I might put a stop to collecting Kamen Riders figures for quite a while.

Getting Ichigo, Nigo, Amazon and Hongo Takeshi will be my stop for the Showa era except if they are rereleasing another V3.

I'm still waiting for a Faiz Shinkocchou Seihou....>.>

Nippon Yasan have got their Genms up if any of you fancy paying 12,000 yen for the pleasure.

Can’t afford that much this side of Christmas so I may as well just wait until it hits Mandarake.

How do you guys feel about upgrading your figuart collection? Since we get new versions of the same Kamen Riders, I do feel like it gets kinda tiresome at times. Sometimes I feel like some figuarts are still great and don't need a upgrade like the Ryuki and Blade figuarts.

I feel happy about upgrading my collection. The SS rider Figuarts are update to the rider suit. That alone make it all worth it just look at the decade 1.0 and 2.0. I do understand how it can get tiresome for me I use to be a fan of wizard Figuarts but now I don't care for wizard since we got so many better and cooler rider lines. I use to only collect Sentai Figuarts but now rider is the only Figuarts I collect. Since bandai has gone in order for each rider renewal the Ryuki line which looks great but he small compare to other SS riders. A Ryuki renewal will happen and I be happy to buy it to update my collection. I can see how not everyone want to update there collect but for some it important to them.

I'm only going to be upgrading if it's a series I really, really liked otherwise I'm fine with just having the versions I own already.

As long on SHF keep on getting made, I doubt I can keep on upgrading over and over again. The Shinkocchou Seihou Figuarts are like the Criterion Collection of Figuarts. I can't imagine how they can out do the SS SHF line in the future. I will probably upgrade my Pre-Gaim Riders expect for maybe Black 2.0 and Black RX 2.0.

I don’t see what the problem is. Most toylines do new versions of figures at some point, and no one is ever obligated to replace their existing figures. I’m happy to replace the few I do already have to get the newer ones, but if a figure is good enough then why worry. I didn’t buy the renewal Shadow Moon for that exact reason.

Great, I just dug out my V3 after long storage and noticed his other leg is really loose but thought nothing of it - but I just noticed that the socket for the ball is cracked, that's why it's so loose :(

Damn, sorry to hear that :(

I would wait with looking for a replacement though, they're bound to release a new Shinkocchou Seihou V3 in the next few years.

Here some clear photos of the Kamen Rider 1 Villains.

the snakes design is the better aged one- it would still work today probably why they used it in the decade movie with w

I could see Leader being a figuarts zero release. And this is one instance where that wouldn't be a big deal.

Now, if they included the freakin' stage that looked like a Shocker base, that'd be amazing!

Shinkocchou Seihou Rider 1 and SHF Takeshi Hongo will be released this week so we got a Tamashii blog entry focused on them with lots of cool pictures, including packaging shots. Click the link below to take a look at them:

The interesting part is that Rider 2 is featured and the text states that they decided that he will be a general retail release in May 2018, so look forward to that!

The Gel-Shocker grunt was teased as well, but with no further info on a release.

Anyone know where I can get Zetton from? Nippon-Yasan and HLJ don't seem to have him in stock anymore.

Hongo comes out this week? That's good news because that means I can ship my Private Warehouse soon.

if anyones after night rogue hes on amiami right now http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/det...%24pagecnt%3D1

Yup, they're out this Saturday :)

Erasu just got pics of a Cross-Z Figuart. Kanji on the pics means web exclusive iirc, which happened again
EDIT: Machine Builder confirmed too, comes with both Drill Crusher modes and the Build Phone accessories

Rider 1 is out, mine is shipped but I don't expect it to arrive within the next two weeks considering the holidays are upon us.

Shishio got his gallery up already though, and it looks like the figure includes spare antennas in case you lose or break the pre-installed ones which is a nice thing to include.

http://shishioh.info/SHF_Shinkocchou...IDER_SIN_1.php

I really appreciate the extra antennas, that's probably gonna be needed with future releases too. Especially Super-1 if they make them in scale.

HLJ shipped mine, should be here next week.

S.H.Figuarts Gel Shocker Combatman Webshop June release price 5400 yen.

The next Tamashii drop is on January 9th guys, so if you want to grab a Shinkocchou Seihou Rider 2, be ready :)

I completed my B-Fighter squad, at last.

I also like the similarities between the bodies of Blue and Black Beet, given how the latter is basically the edgy twin of the former.

If there's one thing that bothers me about him, then it's the hands which are pretty hard to pull out or fix on the wrists. Seems to be a problem among all B-Fighter figuarts.

These are absolutely amazing!!!

These figures are incredible.

Great shots. They're making me wistful, though, that my regular-sized scarf snapped when I first tried posing it. I was able to superglue it back together, but because the contact point is so small, I had to seal it in a way that'll prevent me from ever being able to use the ball joint. (I've got W set up with the wind effects, and it's killing me that I can't get it to a good angle.)

@Topic: Rider 2 is preordered! Can't wait for more Showa, Amazon looks excellent!

:thumb:

I only have Blue Beet since I had the Blue Beetleborg figure back in the day, but a full trio is much nicer!

Hey, you finally got a hold of Double! Awesome! And I agree, the W-figures are excellent. Great shots, by the way, good work!

Yeah, finally managed to get themselves off Mandarake. I suppose the plus side of missing out was that I paid less, but I honestly wish these were the figures that were out when I watched the show. Lot of nostalgia here.

I could've sworn they would've reissued this guy by now considering how well he sold but It's good to know that you were able to get hold of one regardless.

And yeah, the differences between this one and the old one are staggering. Double is actually the only old figure I own, I bought it when I watched W around the time Gaim aired and got hold of one for dirt cheap. And that's kind of what it looks like next to the new release :lol
