1/1 Scale SHF ZI-O at the same shanghai event.

Complete with unpainted ridewatches

The unpainted Ridewatches is both hilarious and depressing to me.

That is unbelievably fucking funny lol

Yes, I'm basing that off what I see on there since I mostly been buying my stuff from.

Life-sized S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Saber Brave Dragon at Shanghai Tokusatsu Heroes feat. Tamashii Nations.

Wonder ride book still unpainted.

They're trolling at this point

Deinitely, though these 1/1 figuarts are pretty amazing looking, even with their shortcomings, having light up eyes. Imagine Bandai one day including an alternate head with light up visor with its shf releases.

Sidenote, i found a $7 shf zeronos on ami, is it still worth getting with the shipping? Or should i pass for the seihou?

I think the Den-O figures, aside from the accessories, are some the the absolute worst of their time.

I'd personally say pass.

Like is it the proportions or the articulation thats really off-putting?

The proportions are terrible, the articulation is mediocre (barely any torso movement), and they just look weird with any figure past Wizard IMO.

Having owned Zeronos, the articulation is fine; but the proportions are definitely lanky, even moreso than pictures would imply. I think for that price it might be worth giving it a shot - at worst you could sell him off for a similar price when he's that low - but only if you're getting him with anything else.

I was going to get him with some of the Den-O movie riders, like Yuuki, Hijack, New Den-O Vega form.

SHF Upgrade recently put out some Orthoros Claws for Assault Wolf

Which is... honestly kind of funny? We're gonna be getting Orthoros probably next year, so...

I feel like this is foreshadowing an orthros kit, like what they did with rising falcon for zero one. I don't know how that would work for vulcan, but shfupgrade are wizards, it'll probably be amazing.

Still no word on a wired skirt for saber or blades yet.

It's definitely for those who don't wanna wait and just wanted to paint up their Assault into Orthoros. Probably costs less to do that too than buying a whole new figure.

Probably waiting to get the actual figure in hand before they figure out how to install it, if they indeed want to make one. Although I feel for the Blades figure it might not be all that needed.

They did say they were for sure making a sticker set for the wonder ride books when I asked

Edit: SHF Upgrade's custom Orthoros Vulcan

Your right, blades skirt is far more segmented and out of the way than sabers. But it would still be nice to have one on both, would add a little bit more dynamism when posing, and look a bit nicer than the soft plastic. I hope at least saber gets one, and a light-up head. Glad they're making stickers for the belt, but wasn't the last sticker set for build like $25?

Edit: lol i was right!

On the site its like $5, but doesn't factor in shipping

Well I don't have a sticker printing machine and I can't properly scale stuff on the computer to save my life so I'll gladly pay $25 for details which BANDAI SHOULD'VE INCLUDED ON A COLLECTOR'S FIGURE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Lol, i was planning on making multiple copies of their stickers from their promo shots of it and scale the sticker, then print on sticker paper that you can use on any laser jet printer. You don't need a sticker machine to make stickers.

Also, for anyone still looking for a place to pre-orders Saber and/or Blades figuarts at retail price, Megaroad is still accepting Pre-Orders (includes free shipping within the u.s), and they're a Bluefin retailer.

Edit: if you want to look for other stuff, you'll have to go to the drop down menu at the top, go to kamen rider. Then at the kamen rider page, select the series by clicking the drop down menu at the top of the page. The sites pretty simple and weirdly set up, but its not too bad to navigate. I hope this helps anyone looking for these two.

If you're gonna do that, why not just print off the official graphics from websites like the Kamen Rider Wiki or promotional images of DX items instead of printing a copy of a copy? The final result might be more detailed.

That's a good idea, but i went with resizing the stickers from high rez pics of shfupgrades sticker set, because the proportions of each sticker are already sized to fit the figuarts. If i size them from the graphic, ill have to resize portions of the stickers shape to smoothly fit the notches on the figure. Pretty much, with pics of their set, most of the work is already done, i just have to scale the whole thing up to actual size and print, which isn't too far from the pics size. Since its also high rez, i won't lose any detail either.

So speaking of the blue box New Den-O, was putting together a Mandarake order and decided to throw him in to help with shipping. Proportions and overall sculpt definitely aren't as good as a modern SHF, but he still looks pretty good. Love how many accessories he comes with, all the weapons that I'm sure have reasons for looking like Kintaros and Urataros that I'd know if I'd watched Den-O. Just wish he had a relaxed left hand option. For just ¥1500 though, I can't complain!

Send pics next to modern SHFs when you get him!

So hey, if anyone was thinking about getting the SIC Ghost, Entertainment Earth currently has it on sale for about $70 USD.

It's a very tempting buy for me, but I don't collect 7-inch scale figures(with a few exceptions).

I think amazon also has Kuuga for $83

Here he is with a Seihou and a "normal" SHF. Sorry the second one's not toku related, I only have a few SHFs at my apartment, the rest is back at my family's house.

He's definitely smaller and skinnier than a modern figure, though Phasma's a bit taller than average. Articulation is just as good as ever though.

Ohhh. He's a lot shorter than I anticipated.

I actually have one on order from amiami, the figure lools great for its age, but i was hoping the visor to be a more vibrant red and bespeckled like the promo images for it were, as well as the suit. Maybe age makes the colors dull, or the visor wasn't as great as i remember.

I have the same figure, it's more on the orange side for sure. It's always been that way. I wish it was more red like the show too.

I dunno why I never realized amiami has a pre-owned section for stuff.

Ordered Apollo Geist and Skydain to round out my Rider villains more. Though now I need a Groundain to go with the latter.

Looks like Jin and Valkyrie are starting to go down in price. Slowly, but surely.

https://i.imgur.com/xHxgz2E.png

Yep!

Now come on Horobi...only one I need.

This, but Valkyrie. Anyone who had alerts on for Valkyrie will notice she does come up pretty often, so it's no surprise that she'll go down eventually.

Now, if she lovers just a few thousand yen more, I'm jumping on her. She's the only one missing for me in the opening shot.

I'd expect her to be 8000 at best, honestly.

That'd be good enough for me. Just gotta make sure shipping doesn't screw with me.

3, 2, 1! Fourze's the next release in the Acrylic Logo EX line, releasing in February along with re-issues of 01, Hiden, AIMs, Metsuboujinrai.net and ZAIA. Premium Bandai as always, 1320 Yen!
