My Wallet (and consequently,Mind) cannot keep up sometimes with all these tasty releases...

It's not just that -- as far as I can tell, they're re-issuing every single series logo they've made so far for Ultraman and Kamen Rider, with the exception of Ultraseven and Return of Ultraman!
Kamen Rider, Amazon, Black, RX, Shin, Kuuga, Agito, 555, Blade, Hibiki, Den-O, Kiva, OOO, Fourze, Gaim, Drive, Ghost, Amazons, Ex-Aid, Build, Zero-One, Saber, Ultraman, Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Z, Super Sentai, Super Sentai 45th -- they're all available to order again! This is apparently in commemoration of their selling 100,000 units up till now; so they gotta be doing well!

And there's a couple new additions to the lineup as well -- Ultraman Dyna and Super Guts! Both of those along with all these re-issues are set for a June release at 1320 Yen

Just got Saber and Blades in this week and huh... Why are they so much taller than other Riders?

They've seem to increase the size of all Kamen Rider figuarts released this year so far at least I can for sure say that for Burning Falcon, ZI-O Ohma form, and of course the Saber figuarts...

I did a size comparison with them and matched them up with some of my Zero-one figuarts from last year and they're all taller

It seems as though SHF has been slowly scaling up for awhile now. Many of the very early SHFs are shorter than the ones we've had just before the Saber line. I suppose it's so they scale better with US and/or 7-inch scale figures? Those have been increasing in popularity over the years.

Doesn't seem like the Jins and Ohma Form ZI-O are any significantly taller. It's not like Saber whom was almost a head taller.

A head taller?? I could believe slightly taller but that doesn't sound right, you got any comparison pics?

Here’s one I took the other night:

:eek:

I put this pic on this thread a while back. Saber is a bit at the back but you can see the height, and this is all of them in straight legged poses. Thouser is basically just the Zero-One mold with a few armor changes.

Like I said before, it's fine for Saber since Touma is a really tall dude anyway, but it's so weird to see it on Rintarou since he's basically a manlet next to Touma lol.

I wouldn't say a head taller, but half a head. If anything Saber and Blades scale surprisingly well with Marvel Legends and Lightning Collection.

Yeah when I did my comparisons between blades/burning falcon and blades/zi-o ohma form I had them back against back...I'll do another one to make sure I wasn't going crazy at the time or tired lol but they def are taller than Assault Vulcan when I matched them up with him lol

At first the Saber figuarts do seem big in your hand especially when you're used to the smaller figuarts scale but I'm getting used to it. Maybe they increased the scale to better match up with the FRS ones since they do look like figuarts...especially after seeing Ryuki and the upcoming Fourze kit?

SHF Z-Original. September release.
4950 yen.
Not sure if retail or P-Bandai.

4950??

That is way lower than usual! At that price I'd be willing to bet it's retail, but the month screams premium bandai to me. Gonna wait on more information but he looks beautiful so far and I'm very pleased to see the low price

Retail I think, the text doesn't mention the webshop.

Eden for example is also in the magazine (only the teaser image though) and his description reads webshop. But they say he includes the Thousand Jacker if anyone wants that confirmed.

Month fits too, August retail was last time so September is next.

Good god it must be my birthday then, that's the most perfect possible situation. Cheap, retail AND that far away that I'll easily have enough money

Think he'd come with his stuff? Like his Zestium Kouze or energy chains? Would instantly pre-order if he does. If not, I may still but it'd depend on a few factors lol.


Nice. Hope it comes with the 1 hour timer.

Doubt it; it was surprising enough for Gamma Future to come with effect parts but that form's magic attacks is built into what it is. SHF just doesn't pack in effect parts these days as a rule, and for a release as cheap as this I'll be surprised if he comes with anything more than alternate hands

Oh yeah, Kiwami, did they list a price on Eden?

And is there anything else on the spread? In fact where's the source?

Same. Too bad we're not getting effect pieces with Rider figures anymore, the blood stuff Eden does would be awesome in plastic form.

Ultraman is a bit of an exception so maybe? We still don't have a Zestium Beam accessory yet, right?

¥7150.

Hobby Japan magazine, some scans are currently hitting the net.

The only other thing so far is Dynaction Shin Ultraman.

We also didn't get Geed's ray with his new release, so... I think outside of Seihou they just might not be doing those anymore. Will be happy to be proven wrong though but looking at other retail releases like Blades, Vulcan and Geed who cost more I'm not getting my hopes up

Hang on, wait, literally as I say this I see this image. I guess we might be getting the beam effect with Z Original after all??

Ouch. Funny how a little bit of yen can screw me over in the importing. I'll check him out in the aftermarket instead, I guess. Guess it's Saikou I'm heading straight to. Was hoping he'd be around 6,600, but ok. Haven't watched RealxTime yet but I wouldn't rule out him using some edgy blood attacks.

Some other nice stuff I'm seeing, too. Like the Perfect Gundam III.

Oh yes! If it's a general release I hope I can actually get it. I still can't pre-order Tiga!

Nice, makes sense. Hope I can get a pre-order in then, looks like a great release so far.

I watched the RAW for the action scenes, he's basically Lady Maria from Bloodborne and Skarlet from Mortal Kombat combined. His punches and kicks are followed by liquid blood which then hardens and is used as a shield or weapons.

Kind of like a super edgy Metal Cluster Hopper.

How so?

Basically: I pre-order my preban stuff from local businesses and usually when, say, something is 7150 yen, the markup here bumps it up to $100. When something is 6,600 yen, it's usually just $85. It doesn't seem like a big leap, but it kinda is for me lol.

I should just use a proxy service, yea, but last time I did it took nearly a year for it to get to me. Well, I guess that's cuz it was during the breakout of the 'rona and stuff. But it did turn me away from it for a bit.

I do plan on using it again, sometime. Maybe once Saikou drops.

Oh, wow, that's pretty bad...

Yeah. Doesn't help that they're slowly starting to not carry P-Bandai stuff. Kinda how I missed out on Jugger.

I'll switch over to prolly just shipping stuff with DHL, tho.

Was wondering how long it'd take to get a base form Z but there it is. Watching the re-stream's made me want one.

I was thinking earlier about how Bandai should really consider reissuing TWE releases more since there's no real downside afaik. No overstock since they're made to order, limited window means lower number of production pieces, I don't get why they don't consider it. Then maybe stuff like Horobi and Eternal commanding $200+ would become less frequent.

And as I thought that Amiami listed a sealed Valkyrie second-hand for $150 and I immediately caved...

I was lucky one threw me a bone and gave it to me for $90. Wonder how she got up like that?

Bought some risers and redid my cluttered Build shelf. It looks so much better, so now for the rest!

That Shining Hopper in the reflection...

You lucky son of a gun!

Also, I too should really buy some risers. How much you got these for?

I'm more impressed at that exclusive Hotel Guy figure. :lolol

Got real lucky picking him and OOO Tamashii up last year lol

$12.99 a piece from SmallJoes!

Saber reissue dropped, got my notification this morning.

I ask that you chant his name! Ultraman Z!
Ultraman Z Original
pre-orders open on the 28th.
4950 yen. General Release.

Sold.

Watching the re-stream made me want a base Z to go with my Geed. The price and beam effect were all I needed to see.
