6600 yen is lower than I would have thought, but I guess he just doesn't have much to come with in the first place.

Authorise Buster in gun mode is literally the only accessory I assume he comes with.

I keep forgetting that's a thing he used.

Borrowed. Sometimes violently :lol

Makes sense though a Shining Assault Hopper has it in axe mode.

And there he is, so gorgeous!

And that's 3/4 MetsuBouJinRai.Net members!

Getting Kamen Rider Ikazuchi to make that 4 would be dope – I don’t think it'll happen though.

SHF Upgrade just released some effect parts for Seihou OOO, and I think they look pretty good. I think I'll pick them up next paycheck.

EDIT: Damn, sold out already.

Reminds me of the effects parts that were included with the random combos in the original SHF OOO line. Probably meant to be exact remakes!

Kinda find it funny and weird that customizers that use the Night Rogue body to make 001 end up looking more suit accurate than the actual SHF 001. Like, it's more proportionally chunk in the right areas.

I mean, not gonna lie, the SHF 001 weirdly looks like Drive-era figuarts with lanky thighs and thin waist.

I've been thinking that about Assault Wolf too. It looks very... long.

Huh… I don’t really see what you guys mean. The 001 custom is literally as "skinny" as the actual figure, it’s just posed differently. And Assault Wolf isn’t particularly "long" looking to me either?

Odd. To me the head is more sunken unlike the actual SHF, and the stomach area is slightly bigger and less lengthier.

It's kinda like seeing two suit actors.

Hahahaha, called it.

That said, yet again, with the KR line getting more and more human character elements, I really, REALLY hope we get an SHF Ichijo someday.

Yes, we could absolutely use best Secondary Rider Ichijo ;)

But in all seriousness, I just hope this means we're inching ever closer to an SHF Izu.

Also, am I just late to the party, because I noticed that HLJ has Den-O due to ship out by the end of the month, which I wasn't expecting. I would love if that was the case.

Den-O Sword From was indeed confirmed for a May 30th release. No more delays for him.

S.H. Figuarts Evol Black Hole Nov release webshop.

I own base Evol, I just spent a lot on SS and CSM Ixa, and he's also not cheap...I don't need him, right?

.....Right?

Oh hey, it's bastard time!

So in terms of major forms, that leaves... Build Genius, Cross-Z Build, Blood, Prime Rogue, Killbas, Cross-Z Evol and Phantom Build?

I don't think I've missed anything? We're down to just seven, six of which are dubious movie/special exclusives?

If Evol Black Hole is coming, then that means Genius can't be too far behind. If one thing is clear, Build is still popular enough to where we're still seeing releases despite the show ending 2 years ago

Bandai would just casually announce Black Hole Evol after I dropped the aftermarket price on the original set.

...Now I'm conflicted, I don't collect alternate forms but in Evol's case I already have the first three on a technicality.

Not to mention that Rabbit/Tank's gotten 2 re-issues!

I for one am not complaining...

Is that a plastic or cloth material on Evol Black Hole. Feels like 7700 yen just for 1 figure doesn't really justified the price, does it?

More than likely plastic, given previous Build figures and how full cloth wire capes have only been seen on Seihous so far.

Ugh, I have no luck finding an Ultraman Zero. Except bootlegs. He is available at Amazon, problem is with the pandemic overseas shipping is halted. I still haven't received my Zero-One!!

Says it's soft material or something? So, at least it won't be Cronus' robe.

So, JP Twitter has finally gotten a hold of SS Den-O. The box is horizontally wider than all the SS Releases we got, to fit in the Gun Form parts of course. He also looks noticeable thinner than I imagined he would be. The thighs look smaller and the calves are much thinner as well. It's weird how a second hand photo can change how something looks. Very cool release, though I already resigned myself to the FRS instead. Hope to see Climax and Liner soon, I'd be picking either or one of them up for sure.

Interesting! Gives me a good idea, I think, of what to expect from Tajador's box.

HLJ just charged me for Den-O....a week after I shipped my Private Warehouse.

Hope yours arrives. My Vulcan hasn't even arrived yet :/

My package came in 3 days with Fed-Ex. HLJ doesn't offer SAL right now.

I'm hoping RKF Joker comes in stock before the 10% off shipping thing ends. I've been waiting for a while to ship my SHF Vulcan, wanted to wait for my Bluefin Zero-One first, then thought about maybe waiting out covid for SAL to come back, but I ended up buying a Zero-One driver after getting a bonus at work and now I'm really impatient to have that in my hands

Worth noting in general that due to restrictions being lifted in Japan, HLJ's Private Warehouse has gone back to 60 days (it was previously indefinite due to Covid)

Yeah, this almost F'ed me up today. I had a figure ready to autoship with 4 others in my PW with 20 something days left to go.

Hope its okay to post this here: This is a single use HLJ code for 10% off your order: mecgkt2020-a9

it's from a youtube channel I follow.

A P-Bandai of Ultraman Zero with cape is pretty much a given right? I figured I should just wait and order that instead of hunting for a regular Zero.

Either that or a straight up reissue. If you're having trouble hunting one down I'd say you can comfortably wait for the next release.

When there's a final form for a SHF, are they usually PBandai? Grand Zi-O is currently my most anticipated release.

Anything other than base forms being non-Premium is an extreme rarity these days. The most recent retail releases of anything that isn't a base form for a main or secondary rider would be Seihou Momotaros; Seihou Tajador; Seihou Arm!Ankh; Seihou FangJoker and then Cross-Z Charge and Night Rogue. Cross-Z Charge was an oddity for a lot of reasons, chief among them being Cross-Z's base form itself being Premium, but I think you can see the pattern of only the most extremely popular things getting to be retail otherwise.


So any Final Form being retail, Tajador vs. Putotyra debates aside? Yyyyeah, sorry but it ain't happening.
