Has Bluefin released SHF Zero-One yet? I can't find the listing on their website anymore, but I haven't gotten an email saying it's shipped yet.

I believe the Birds of Prey Harley was also delayed (originally a Feb release but pushed to March) though I can't remember what the reason for it was.

September release. I'd imagine with his memetic popularity he's gonna be quick to sold out.

He might go nicely with Jiren. Haha. Not familiar enough with Ultraman though.

.................. It took me this long to realize Titas is basically Ultraman Jiren :lolol

Huh, there is a bit of a resemblence now that you mention it. :lolol

On a more minor note, it seems Premium Bandai's doing some series nameplates for Kamen Rider (1971) and Zero-One! Both are 1320 yen and release in May. They look really nice; hope they do them for OOO... and Kuuga... and Build... and Den-O..........

So, some advice?

Do you guys think it'd be best to prioritize a Metal Build pre-order, or SS FangJoker? They're both releases I really want, but need to pick one ATM.

I'd say Metal Build. FangJoker has been out for almost a year I believe, so if you're able to still find one now for a decent price, chances are it shouldn't be difficult to find him later on. Plus, he was a retail release, so he would have been more widely distributed.

I'd imagine the people that missed out on Black Hazard (since it was a Tamashii Event exclusive) are going to be all over this since this is basically that figure with a new head. And this figure itself is a Tamashii Web Exclusive, meaning it's going to be a lot harder to find at a decent price.

Thanks for the advice.

Metal Build was such a surprise release. It really caught me off guard.

I ordered Kamen Rider Brain. He's an exclusive so he's rare, and I love Drive's suit, even more so with Brain.

Would love if they did this for every Rider eventually. Surprised Kuuga isn't getting one since he started the Heisei Era.

Oh, so that's what they were. I thought it was some sort of re-release of Zero-One (damn I was stupid) and Ichigo that came with their title card.

Tho, that would've been a neat way to get reissues of SS releases like Agito, Hibiki, Kabuto, Kiva, Wizard, frankly anyone right now that's rising up in price like... SS DECADE...!

Definitely Metal Build. Being a Build rider and is the second ever release of the Build Hazard mold, it'll get preyed upon by people who didn't get a chance at RabbitTank Hazard (I'm in that category).

I can't pre-order Metal Build cuz school's closed down so I lost my primary way of getting money but had it been possible I would've bought Metal Build, buy some Oyumaru and UV Resin, recast one of his heads and bottles (preferable the metal build one), and turn the recasted head into RabbitTank. That way you can have four versions of Hazard Build. He'd honestly be the most playable figure.

So I asked for help and pretty much people think I don't exist. Okay then.

MY bad. Was it the post where you were asking between KR Brain, MK45, or Lord Zedd and MMPR White?

Personally, I'd go for KR Brain. Now, if you said MK50 I would go far that. But, I do recall SHF Iron-men having metallic red paint fade issues. Not sure nowadays tho.

I'd go for KR Brain because of how I enjoyed the form and how solid the Drive mold was. There's also because I saw a tutorial where a JP dude changed his cape(?) into wired cloth(?). Tho, while he may be the rarest, he's certainly not the most priciest. (as per Mandarake prices.)

Not really that into Lightning Collection since, well, it's Hasbro and I'm not really a fan of how gummy their figures are. I bought a Marvel Legend symbiote Spider-man about a year ago and after a while I immediately found myself putting it down and forgetting about it.

Apologies for missing you post Sengal.

Can't speak for the mk.45, but I hear good things about Iron man Figuarts.

Personally, I think the LC is a bit overhyped, so I 100% recommend Brain. Cool design, on a great body.

For those interested these logos are 1320 yen a pop it seems so roughly 12 bucks USD. It's either this or a pizza. :lolol
Jokes aside though, These could look neat if decorated correctly with the titular figuart I think.

Shinkocchou Seihou Den-O and a whole slew of other items were just delayed. Full list here.

Surprisingly Den-O is the only rider delay here -- not Vulcan, not Rabbit/Dragon, not Tajador... interesting.

We wouldn't be hearing about Tajador yet as its release date is so far out still. This list is just about what was releasing in April.

Aah okay, fair enough.

Talking of Tajador, does anyone think it's possible it'll get a second run? It sold out VERY quickly just about everywhere.

Tatoba ended up getting a second run, so I don't see why Tajador wouldn't. My prediction being whenever they put Putotyra up for pre-order.

"After May", not even a new release date. A delayed plastic figure isn't going to make me mad but the whole situation just sucks.

I don't see why not either. But with Tamashii you never know.

The main thing to me is that Tajador isn't the actual main rider form; the only re-issues we've seen in recent times (Tatoba; Super Best Build; 20RK) have been the main rider's main form. Then again, I think Tajador is the only time we've gotten a non-main form at retail since like... Cross-Z Charge? And even then that was a weird, unique situation.

Might as well ask my question from a few pages ago too, anyone know if Bluefin released SHF Zero-One yet? I can't find the listing on their website anymore, but I haven't gotten an email saying it's shipped yet

I believe they said on twitter that it was delayed.

I'm debating whether or not I should (or even could) cancel my pre-order on Jin Flying Falcon cuz this pandemic thing fucked up my financial schedule.

You're right, I just saw saw the tweet. That's a bummer, though in terms of this global catastrophy, I'll admit it's ultimately a minor thing

Edit: Checked my Private Warehouse on HLJ and Den-O is now stated as a June release.

Yeah, I ordered Brain, he's scheduled to arrive this April........ assuming my country doesn't extend it's movement restriction although postage is still working as usual.

I always wanted an Iron Man figure, ideally it would be Mk 4 because it's essentially Mk 3 and Mk 6 merged into one, but it's ultra rare so I opted for the more retail releases, and somehow Mk 45 looks better than Mk 46 despite 46 being the better suit.

As for LC, yeah, gummy is the perfect word form what I've seen in the figures. They kinda look like they're molded from gums lol. But still it's Power Rangers, and despite having a love-hate relationship with the franchise I still want to support it.

Although.......... I did saw an SHF White Ranger. He would look perfect alongside my Tyranno & Dragon Ranger. But I'm broke lol.

Den-O getting pushed back to June is probably a rough estimate at best. What country are Figuarts manufactured in? Depending on that country's response to COVID-19, delays could continue anywhere from a couple to eighteen months. It's hard to overstate just how much a time of uncertainty we're living in.

Most of toku is likely to get disrupted. (For that matter, most of the entertainment industry other than maybe video games.) In theory, I just had Kiramager minipla ship, but I suspect it may be the last thing I've ordered to ship for a while, since manufacturing is going to get hit either by illness or shelter-in-place orders trying to slow down the pandemic's spread.

It's made in China, that's why you can see so many Figuarts bootlegs on the net.

Haha, that reminds me when I wasted 20$ to try out the Cross-Z Magma bootleg. It was literal garbage. Disintegrating plastic, floppy-ass joints, shoddy paint-job, just absolute trash. I'm still mad about it to this day. This was the first time I bought a bootleg that was actually bad.

Also, yeah. Supaidaman!

Lol. I saw a bunch of Iron Man bootlegs and kinda wanted them since it's good for a budget figure..... But disintegrating plastic?! Holy shit that sounds like $20 is too steep.

Leopardon is getting a new figure too. I need both of them.

Looks pretty good but he's a bit expensive for what he comes with. Haha. Also since I missed pre-orders for Geiz Revive, I guess I am ok with skipping Woz Ginga Finally too.

Is there like an interval for SS releases? Like, alternating between Heisei and Neo-Heisei or is it random and just what Bandai feels like putting out.

Cuz I'm lowkey hoping the next SS Figuarts is Ryuki or Blade.

It mostly follows original release order, though there were some exceptions like Wizard being a lot earlier. The next one is more than likely Faiz or Fourze.
