No, I'm pretty sure is indeed for his crotch. The blog mentions that the pistons on his feet are "movable".

And I'm not really too sure anymore what crotch pants are for, since it says:

Interchangeable poseable pants parts allow you to pose him with his hips down or in the action pose from the play!

So, it's for a pose or allow it to move better?

I see it now, it's a different crotch piece altogether, one is broken up in scult for articulation and one is solid posing.

Oh, that's great! Certainly eliminates the cracking issue on his crotch then.

..Now if they could pull a last minute change for Tiga too

They'll never do it

I like that the new Ichigo figure is basically a Rider Kicks version of his Seihou.

That Rider 1 looks super nice!! Very tempted to get him despite owning the original SHF...

oh my god yes

This is kind of cool.

no Grigio


:/

Damn they darn near want 10000 yen for Kiva so looks like I'm pre-ordering him asap instead of waiting til he drops on Mandarake for whatever price and lol they actually did Decade Complete form 21. It feels like v-cinema and specials forms get more attention quicker than in show forms

Wooo Eden... still exists...! Huh...?

And this is the reason no one should buy this figure.

It's just on the shoulders? That's at least better than Black and Tiga

Also the crotch piece but they already include an alternate hard plastic replacement in the box.

Good 'ol rubber hu...x)
I command them for trying, but don't fix what's not broke (is that the saying?)
I'm in dire need of replacing my Shadow Moon...But if it is to have another Shadow Moon that will break easily....heeeh I don't know.

This event was interesting but I think that the only Rider reveal that I wasn't aware of was Decade Complete.

Also, I'm glad for the people who loved Kamen Rider Saber, they will be able to get all the cast. (was it all the cast that was shown?)

That SS Ichigo has an interesting color scheme, I like it but...that stand is the thing I want the most, man, that stand is gorgeous.

Just the main ones. I think I'm getting Kenzan and maybe Slash.
We're still missing Falchion, Durandal, Sabela, Solomon (if he even happens lmao), and Xross Saber.

Also, I find it funny when they were talking about Eden, the dude in black really wanted a Hell Rising.

I'm pretty disappointed with Kiva Emperor by the way. Too expensive IMO and it doesn’t even include a red blade for the Zanbat Sword? WTF?

Are full release details out? I didn't see any

Yeah, he's up on the website. No red sword. Which is weird since they were extra with Shadowmoon with his sword.

Okay yeah, wow, that's a bit oof. That said...

- Wired cape, always nice to see; probably why he's so much though
- HE COMES WITH FUTURE KIVA'S KIVAT?? That's... a pretty deep cut! Didn't expect to see this at all, that's actually pretty cool

Add the Seihou and Final Form tax and you've got a price that rivals the Garo SHFs.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised that he comes with the Future Kivat. I would have thought that one would get released as its own release to justify a reissue.

With that said, where is a reissue?

Or Saga even?

Cool to see the other Saber riders, with papa Buster looking awesome

Thought they would release Ichigo with his original colors, so easy enough pass for me. The added display is great, and if it's the same mold as the original I highly recommend this piece for anyone that missed out the first time

OH MAN that Ultraman Z display ... it's too bad Gamma Future is going to be Eternal levels of aftermarket price ...

Shadowmoon ... if they haven't started production maybe there's a chance for them to see about this rubber issue. I commend them for trying but I hope it doesn't become the norm going forward on say, the next SS Heisei riders they have to do. That said, I saw a sealed SS Black going for about 11,000 so maybe get it while you can if you really want it ?

Decade Complete 21 ... we'll at least they got it over with

I think it's super funny that Complete 21 was the only actual Seihou reveal... I feel even more tempted to get him now. I said I was done with SHF after rampage!! Why do they have to reel me back in with the best forms!!!

I'm conflicted over SS ShadowMoon.

On one hand, he looks perfect. On the other, I hate the soft overlay use so much. Having handled my friend's copy of Black, I will say it moves smoothly and looks really nice but if it's one of those things that's gonna break down eventually I don't know...

Granted compared to how I'd have Black posed, SM's shoulders wouldn't be put under similar stress on display and would only be used for photography...Man, this would be an easier sale if the overlay didn't exist.

There's a bunch of really cool photos that just went up by the way! A whole gallery of the dioramas that would have been viewable had the event happened. Especially a fan of the 50th Anniversary Kamen Rider ones with all the fun they had with grouping main riders together!

This is how they get you! I told myself "Aight, Jaou Dragon, then Sabela, and I'm done with Saber!" BUT then they just show things that tempt the hand!

Agreed. But to put some on a positive side, the only thing one has to worry about is his arm pits. His crotch has a plastic option, and since the undersuit is black the cracks won't be too apparent? And/or if you really want to, you can probably take off the soft plastic and replace with some black cloth instead?

Edit love that little "All-Dragon" display with Ryuki, Saber, and Wizard! And I find it very sad Grigio is nowhere on that Ultra lineup!

These HOF look like HOT GARBAGE IN A BURNING DUMPSTER.
WhyTF are these 2009-style Figuarts technology SO expensive?
Die ANYONE actually buy these overpriced pieces of shite?
Even though I want my Gorangers figures, THIS janky stuff’s is not gonna be on my shelf...

Don't lose hope -- that Ultra lineup only consists of confirmed releases so far!

I just need a confirmed release! With that, it also ups the chances of a Grigio Darkness...!

What's the preorder window for Shadow Moon? I saw that it will be tomorrow, but is it as usual when it's in the morning for Europeans?
I think I'm getting it, I need a new Shadow Moon.

Pre-orders as usual, in the morning for us.

Since you’re getting it I hope they can improve the quality of the material!

Should be the usual which is 2pm japan time? (I think or somewhere close, don't quote me on that.)

I don’t do well with the PM/AM stuff, it's 16:00 in Japan for AmiAmi at least, other should follow around that time.

Ultraman Z Original is getting a lottery sale

OOh, yeah then that's 4pm Japan time.
