Eventually, sure. I guess now that the main Showa dudes are done it's Father, Mother and King next.

Yep. Kamusta ka po?

I moved from Manila to Singapore to Australia.

I would assume Leo is the next one, but I definitely think we'll get those three (and Astra) not long after.

Fucking KNEW IT! They were gonna do squeeze out bit more money with Zero before releasing him and the mantle.

Ooooh heck I'm gonna want that. I liked the idea of getting a Brother's Mantle for fun; I've been wanting a Zero but his prices are too high; and now they're killing my wallet with one stone!

I think this is confirmation for the next SS release being Black, but am uncertain.

Meanwhile I'm here waiting for base form Z ...

Bringing up the legendary poll made me look at the start of the thread...things were a lot different 9 years ago! :lol

Sigh. A better time...

I know it's a trade-off for the far higher quality we have these days but I would really not mind having Fourze-quality SHFs of modern Riders with that many accessories at those prices.

Neat but unless the mantle is available separately I'll pass. Don't need two Ultraman Zero.

Would've been cool if there was another silhouette in the teaser considering there were three Ultraman in that scene - but Geed Galaxy Rising will happen anyways.

Considering we already have the Sevenger teaser, Delta Rise Claw and Geed Galaxy Rising are the two reveals I want to see most.

Plus there's also the potential reveals from the Absolute Conspiracy panel there as well.

I'm expecting the new villain, Belial base, and Tregear base to be potential reveals.

So...

Didn't totally see this coming.

I'll pass. They look cool but the aftermarket shouldn't be too hard on these two. Especially Gridon.

Some more pics of Gridon Lychee Arms.

Yeah hi is this real and am I dreaming?

(Also is that a new Bravo form?)

It is, though no info on it just yet.

Gridon Lychee arms and Bravo King Durian.

Both (I assume) go for 6500 Yen on the P-Bandai site.

can they just release ghost mugen already

And my boi

What new Gaim Figuarts damn.

Gridon Lychee arms and Bravo King Durian will be getting both. I like the color on Gridon also he used Lord Baron sword recolor nice.

I like to see that purple rider in the movie get a figuart as well he using the ringo arms armor you know what I mean.

So, since I figured the only completely, non-remold, parts of SHF Valkyrie would be the chest, shoulder armor, and the head, I thought how hard would it be to make a Lightning Hornet by buying the dirt cheap Vulcans instead of shelling out for Valkyrie, 3D print her armor and stick it on the Vulcan.

I think I did the digi-bash good. Really, All I'd need is some paint, 3D printer, and a 3D Model of Valkyrie.

This pandemic really stopping me from experimenting.

SHF Ghost Mugen's gonna be a total brick, might as well get a statue.

No more than the likes of Cronus or Evol Black Hole; just a lot more beautiful.

Should work just like most figures with skirts, don't know how much the torso will suffer due to the parka but I wouldn’t call it a statue.

Also: Resize Signature Man appears again to save the day!

That’s subjective. And wrong.

And correct :p

Wait, how'd you do that? I've been trying to figure out how to change my new signature's size and it's driving me nuts.

You can't do it on the boards, just use a local program or an app to do it.

In this case simply copy the one I posted for you :)

Thanks man! Appreciate it.

What's everybody's predictions and wants for the upcoming Tamashii Nations event?

I'm thinking Ark-Zero (and possibly Ark-One) are extremely likely, and likely will get a solicitation shortly after that. Rampage Vulcan is a pretty safe bet too. Maybe Zero-Two, but we usually don't see Final Forms pop up for several years (if at all). We might see Eden or Zero-One's Hell Hopper form though.

I think we all know we're getting a Shinkocchou Seihou for a main Heisei Rider, and my hunch is it's going to be Faiz since he's definitely the most dated looking and feeling of the remaining non-modernized Figuarts. I also think there's a high possibility we see a Shinkocchou Seihou Shadow Moon too. And possibly PuToTyra since the OOOs line has been going full steam for an entire year.

The other Saber riders are basically a lock. We might see some alternate form for Saber utilizing the other WonderRide books, like Peter Pan, but as is tradition, it'll probably be the only non-main/upgrade form we ever get.

Those are some obvious and safe bets. But we also get those curveballs, like previously unreleased movie Riders or another addition to a line we assumed was dead for 3 years. I'd really like to see a reveal with the last 3 main Kabuto Riders, like how they showed off all the other Hibiki riders at once. Another curveball could be Agito Trinity Form. It has had a recent appearance in Zi-O, Agito's 20th anniversary is next year AND it could be a wink towards the fact that Bandai, in fact, hasn't forgotten about Agito. That's if they don't just give us G3-X (it'd be great if it came with an alternate Makoto and/or Shouichi head).

Now for a real curveball: Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Saga :D

You're welcome :)

Back in the old days the ancients used to craft magnificent signatures, now all that remains is poor old me who simply resizes images.

I pretty much agree with you. I think the entirety of Zero-One is likely, sans Orthoros Vulcan and Ark-Scorpion maybe. So Ark-Zero + Ark-One, Rampage Vulcan and Zero-Two.

I also expect there to be a Heisei Shinkocchou Seihou but I'm undecided who it's going to be. It's either Ryuki, Faiz, Blade or Fourze. I have a hunch it's Ryuki, but Faiz is also very likely.

As for Saber, I expect everything up until Slash to be shown. Espada, Buster, Kenzan & Calibur. No alternate forms.

My biggest want would’ve been Sevenger but he’s confirmed, so – considering we also got a new Showa Rider release already, what I want to see most now is Heisei Ultraman stuff. For Kamen Rider – Kiva Emperor Form maybe?

And I’m looking forward to the new Godzilla from “Godzilla vs. Biollante” because I want a Heisei Godzilla but never picked up any of the previous ones.

They haven’t started development on that one yet so a reveal is unlikely.

Ark-Zero, Rampage Vulcan, Ikazuchi, and maybe easy repaints like Hell Rising Hopper and Orthoros Vulcan are my picks for Zero-One.

Were there times that two completely new SS release show up at the same time? Cuz, I'd think Black would be the only SS figuarts to show up. Otherwise, it'd be Faiz or Ryuki. Putotyra OOO might show up too.

Saber and Blades are sure to show up, Espada as well. Calibur has a good chance showing up, Kenzan and Buster are a maybe.

During the event, they'd probably open pre-orders for the previous prototypes like Dark Kiva and SaGohZo.

Yeah, I've seen the old forums and the old posts stretching back to almost ten years ago. A few of the old users who aren't active now had REALLY good pictures for their signatures.

During Tamashii Nations 2017, Amazon and Wizard.

Which makes me believe showing off new Showa and Heisei simultaneously is cool with them, just not both of each.

Also Black already has a pre-order and release date, they could reveal a new Heisei Rider for the second half of 2021.

Considering last year we got a display with Zero-One, Vulcan, Valkyrie, Jin & Horobi aka all Riders in the show so far makes me believe it'll be the same this year.

Dark Kiva pre-orders would be dope.

PhantomStranger and FormerTitanium did these mostly IIRC... feels like ages ago at this point.

I already laid out my Rider predictions before, so... in terms of Ultraman stuff? We're seeing Delta Rise Claw and Galaxy Rising for sure. Maybe Windom and King Joe Storage Custom, too!

Aside from the Z displays, I think it's been long enough since Taro that we'll see a Leo reveal; perhaps flanked by Astra. Since we're so close to all the main New Generation forms being covered I could also see them displaying things like Ginga Victory and Orb Trinity -- perhaps an "all movie final forms" display to mimic the Taiga movie, with Reiga front and center?

G3-X would be cool. I'm definitely hoping for Faiz and possibly Auto Vajin, but could also see Ryuki.

I love the idea that Blade could show up and be on store shelves the same time as Blades.

Out of curiosity, how prone is SHF Zangetsu Melon Arms to yellowing?

I don't think yellowing would be a problem for Zangetsu Kachidoki but Melon Arms has a bit of a more faded creamy color to it so I'm curious as to how likely for the figure to yellow over time.

EDIT: Oh and while I'm at it how durable are the Gaim Figuarts? I've heard that some Figuarts break easily and I want to know if the Gaim Figuarts are stable or not.

Zangetsu Melon Arms isn't that prone to yellowing; the problem is that the undersuit isn't show-accurate in the first place. The white that they use for the Figuarts' undersuit is closer to the white that they use for Transformers toys. Here's a picture for comparison. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tcu506jPJ...ki-Arms-50.JPG

As for durability, Gaim Figuarts feel great. You just need to be a little careful when replacing the wrists since they used much thinner wrist joints, back then. I personally haven't had one break on me yet, but it's worth noting, anyways. Honestly, QC issues are more common now than they were back then.

Really hoping for a Ryuki renewal, but I’m more excited for that curveball reveal

Off topic, any recommendations for cheaper / third party stands similar to the tamashi stage?
