They work as intended, Thouser uses Progrise Keys to channel their abilities, he doesn't transform with them. As if he wasn’t so similar to Grease already, his belt basically does the same thing the Sclash Driver did with Fullbottles.

Yup, and that's probably why it doesn't have any. Still think it would’ve been cool, but it is understandable from a design/manufacturer-kinda perspective.

Different species. Amazing Hercules is a Hercules Beetle which has two horns, Amazing Caucasus is a Caucasus beetle, which has three.

But yes, both having the "Amazing" title is a bit confusing, although once you realize they're different beetles it feels deliberate, like they are from the same family so both are equally amazing ;)

I believe there is at least an Arsino Zetsumerise key in the toyline.

Watching videos of the Thousand Driver, it seems like the Caucasus key is weird in the Force Riser. You have to activate the spring before the latch will grab it for transformation or finishers. But the henshin sound doesn't overlap at all. It doesn't even have the "Presented by Zaia" it has in the other Drivers.

Are we gonna get Force Driver Thouser or is this just an interesting compatibility quirk?

The green one is actually a Hercules beetle and specifically called Hercules instead of Caucasus

Yes, it's the Arsino Magia key, one of several P-Bandai exclusive Zetsumerise keys. On the face, the type written is Zetsumetsu, while the one used by Thouser (Awaking Arsino) is Zetsumetsu Evolution. Obviously his key is more powerful.

Does anyone know if the belt extensions Bluefin sells work with the Shot Riser?

If the belt extension is the same one they're selling in Japan then yes, it works.

The plastic on the one they’re selling is grey instead of black, but other than that they look the same.

Yes. We’re finally getting a SoDo breaking mammoth!

Pre-orders up for Ai 5.5:

Does anyone know if Tokullectibles is trustworthy? I’m looking for a place to preorder a Cyclone Riser, and their price isn’t completely unreasonable.

The first of the new Legend Progrise keys has been released https://youtu.be/Xm0tEwWu1YQ

I've bought some stuff from them before. I had no issues

I’m really disappointed with the newest reveal for SoDo.

Just so you know, there's a So-Do thread now

Thanks

Only today did it dawn on me that after them skipping DX Thouser merch and the complete legacy Rider DX keys so far... waiting for AmiAmi to put up the MetalCluster Hopper Progrise Key might not have been the best idea I’ve ever had. God I hope they put this up tomorrow or Saturday...

Why did they stop? Has this happened before?

Anyways, the sounds in this key are glorious:

Anyone out here gotten their Zero-One SHFs already? It's been a while and I haven't gotten mine. Or, actually, anyone in our country really.

Philippines is probably one of the most biggest affected by Corona-chan because our president is anal about our relationship with China and is also probably affecting our packages too.

USA here, I've had my SHF Zero-One for a week or two now.

This is old post now. I just got my Zero-One last week.

Hey has anyone seen anything on Excite Stag yet?

Bandai recently announced two premium sets of DX progrise keys.

Set 1 is Penguin and Horseshoe Crab at Premium Bandai.

Set 2 is Buffalo and Whale, exclusive to Amazon Japan.

I really wanted to collect all the Heisei Legend Rider progrise keys but the way some of them have limited availability really turned me off.

I have a full set of SG Legend Rider Ride Watches, and while that was a challenge to collect, it's not nearly as difficult as what the Progrise keys are asking for.

Hopefully when Zero One is over, I can find a completed set second hand.

I find Fourze is pretty easy to find actually, but it's pricey.

It seems most of DX Version of ZAIA's Progrise Keys will be released as Premium Bandai...

Been itching to pick up the Zero One driver lately but been holding off because I know shipping will be pretty high for it with the size of the box. Haha. Also sort of want the Shotriser too but I have a feeling this desire will fade over time after Zero One ends.

So, Scouting Panda came out the same way the 20th Ver. Evol Driver came out. Unannounced. https://youtu.be/0vaWcbEQd2s

It was announced ages ago, just not here.

Where was it announced?

Dont' know where else to comment on this but there was a recent leak that says the next Figure-Rise is Hibiki

OH DEAR GOD YES!!!

Hibiki is, like, the perfect Rider I'd want for something like this; characters like him and Agito and Blade are characters that I adore but I'm not willing to shill out a ton of money for their amazing Seihous. And frankly I didn't think Hibiki would ever get done in this line! Like-- they're aiming for all Heisei Riders, sure, but I doubted that aim would be achieved and some less popular ones like Ghost and Hibiki would go by the wayside. But nope! Here he is!! HECK yes!!!!!!

This is fantastic news.

Best part is the more new moulds they do the more incentive they have to do alt forms/characters, and the easier those will be.

Given Amazing Mighty, it seems that basically any upgrade that's more or less a recolour is gonna be done. So if this is real, then P-Bandai Hibiki Kurenai might as well be confirmed!

excuse me! Holy shit, fucking finally! An affordable hibiki! Good timing too, i just got my chroma flair paints before the quarantine!

Haha well I guess if they were planning to do all of Heisei riders, it makes sense to release one of the lowest selling merch riders after one of the most popular and beloved rider.

Anyway, I love Hibiki and this is exciting!

What I guess was to be expected, but still weird, a HumaGear set of Progrisekeys went up today at Premium Bandai.

No idea if there will be more.

That took longer than expected

Have any of the Humagear keys been released already? Seems odd Izu is omitted

Nothing new seems to be coming out this month besides RKF Joker, CJX got pushed to June.

The new listings are all for July:

• RKF Ohma Zi-O
• Den-O Belt Ver. 20th
• Legend Rider History 16-20 (Kiva, Hibiki, Blade, Ryuki, Agito)
