I was able to pre-order Ultraman Zett luckily.

Or not luckily, cuz no one seemed to have pre-ordered him on my country. Eh, at least I got one secured. He was free shipping too!

Nice! Z looks awesome, looking forward to getting him. Also excited to see what's in store for future Ultraman Z releases - alternate forms would be welcome, the Storage robots would be phenomenal.

Aside from Z, I'm still waiting for Ultraman Fuma pre-orders - I have to complete the Tri-Squad.

Did anyone order the Decade version of SS Kuuga from USA Gundam Store?

Originally I put in an order through BBTS, but they sent me an email stating their expected stock was lower than anticipated so my order may or may not be fulfilled. In the end, I cancelled and ordered from USA Gundam. Mind you this was all done last year.

Did anyone get their order fulfilled or are in a similar place? Should I just cut my lose and try to get it second hand ?

I'm almost certain the answer is no, but can SHF Ultraman Zero Beyond wear the Ultimate Aegis?

Having neither of them in-hand - I don't think so? Zero and X have special ports in their chests to receive armor, Zero Beyond doesn't.

Don't know if it could loosely fit if not pegged in though.

Ooooh, I didn't know that's how it worked. Damn.

Can we fast forward to March already? Seeing all these promos for Z Alpha Edge makes me wanting him to arrive immediately. Ugh.

The Ultraman portion of the Acrylic Logo line continues on with a series logo for Zero! In addition, re-issues have been put up for Kamen Riders Black and Black RX! All three of these are set for October release at 1320 Yen

Had a thought that one of these three candidates is the Tamashii Soul exclusive if it's still going to happen this year.

2 out the last 4 exclusives have been repaints/retools, so probably Assault Japanese Wolf (?) has the best chance

I think it's going to be Ark-Zero. Black repaint / retool of the main Rider suit is something they like releasing as an event exclusive.

Japanese Wolf Vulcan - I kind of expect this to go up for pre-order next week? Like, remember Great Cross-Z? Like that. It's an easy repaint that requires no new tooling, and the form will likely never be relevant again after the episode aired. So maybe sell it now while it's fresh in people's minds?

Ikazuchi, like Naki, will never be made I think. Too niche for Figuarts, although I'd like to be wrong, I would love to have a complete Metsubojinrai.net lineup in SHF form.

Jin has quite an array of hands. That's like 10!

Zero-One's just about over, and it's cool this was able to be pulled off before then!

I look forward to being able to recreate that. Haha. I also have 001 and Thouser pre-ordered and definitely want Izu but struggling to decide if i should get the Assault upgrade forms for zero one and vulcan.

Hmm, well, why do you want the Assault forms?

I really like the designs of both of them, the spikyness and arc reactor circle on the chest. But I'm considering just sticking to the main riders to save money and space. lol.

Hi guys, really sorry if this isn't how this works, still kind of new here.

Just saw some post revealing Zero-One Shining Hopper and Seihou Kuuga Dragon, Pegasus and also OOO TaMaShii

https://www.facebook.com/SHFupgrade/...30176967277860

Just wondering if anyone could verify how accurate this might be from things they've seen before? Again, apologies if this isn't appropriate!

... huh!

Honestly don't think any of us saw Shining Hopper coming as the Tamashii Nations exclusive, but I guess in terms of toy merch it's very much the equivalent to Build Hazard. Alright! Cool!

OOO Tamashii kinda brought a smile to my face. We're back to that being used as Tamashii exclusives and I couldn't be happier to see that trend continue!

Kuuga Dragon and Pegasus happening... very unexpected! Sweet!

All of these are new, even the Kuuga forms weren't announced for release yet.

You did a great job finding these, thank you very much! :)

100% same feeling about OOO Tamashii Combo, it's the perfect exclusive - a form that matches the name of your brand? That's awesome.

Really happy about Shining Hopper, did not expect this at all. I'll gladly take it (again, Zero-One completionist here), our recent talks about Zero-Two made me remember how much I like Shining Hopper as a powerup for Aruto.

The Kuuga forms finally being released is great news, I remember someone around here was really looking forward to getting them.

Do we know who this is, by the way? I can't quite pin it down...

https://i.imgur.com/juZtmD6.png

Jin Burning Falcon maybe?

Thanks, happy to share!

Love that they're doing more Kuuga and fingers crossed for Rising forms too.

And slightly awkward that I've had the original OOO TaMaShii for all of about 10 days because "Nah, there's no way they'd do TaMaShii as a Seihou". Shows how much I know :lol

It is a little too bad that Tamashii Combo was featured only seconds.

They really gonna drop all the OOO suits before they go purple, aren't they

They're really gonna drop all the OOO suits before they do Birth!

First time in years I don't want the Tamashii exclusives. That's a weight off my back. Was SO scared it'd be Dark Kiva.

Kuuga Forms though I may need. I want Growing form and I'll support the line until I get it.

Here's hopin' they do TaJaDol/r levels of accessories if we get Birth

I've seen a lot of people theorise that the CLAWs will be equally split between Birth and Proto, and I can very easily see that happening...

Well, that completely throws all my candidates of the tamashii exclusive out the window. Completely surprised Shining Hopper to show up!

Tho, I'm also disappointed that it's a tamashii exclusive. Definitely confirms that it'll be 120$ in my country, and it'll most likely just come with hands. Difficult pass, I'll wait on Zero-Two or Ark-One.

Another Tamashii Nations exclusive reveal -- a re-release of Ultraman Zero with special colours and a 10th anniversary stand!

That'd be great.

The alternative is getting the exact same figure and accessories with just a repaint

That'd be me, and yes, I am super excited! Wish they'd've announced all four forms at once, but hey, this basically guarantees that Growing and Titan aren't too far behind. And I really hope this means we'll get the Rising variants soon too.

TaMaShii OOO really caught me by surprise, as that's a form that I figured they wouldn't even bother with. Personally I don't think I'll go for it, but I am glad it exists since it means there's a higher chance the Seihou line will get Brakawami(which I really want) and Aqua(which I'd be very, very tempted to get).

Technically the OOO suits have been coming out in debut order with the exception of SaGoZou for some reason.

We probably won't be seeing him or PuToTyra until next year at earliest.

If it does Proto will probably/hopefully get a spare Breast Cannon, since double Breast Cannon shoot is pretty much the signature attack for Double Births.

I really hope that Birth comes with basically everything so that way I don't have to get a figure of Date/Proto.

Just do what I do and headcanon Proto Birth as Izumi!

Haha, while that does make sense, I'd sooner headcanon it as Erika. Seriously, that girl is awesome and almost every scene she was in had me going "So why isn't she Birth?"

Exactly! You have multiple options!

I go with Hina not even out of dislike for Date (the only OOO character I dislike is Kougami), but because I really like having the "main squad" together. Date's more like a mentor figure outside of the group so I just really really like having Eiji, Hina, Gotou and Ankh all together. Perhaps one day I can involve Erika... hmm... multiple Proto Births?
