This is the image that made me think why Saber was so tall. I kinda hope Revi is still taller than 01 but not as tall as Saber.

Tho, it does make Blades also look tall despite Rintarou being a manlet next to Kento and Touma :lol

Edit: Also, I wonder of the possibility of us getting Vice's regular deadman look.

Who needs Kaijin when you can have Riders battling each other for the entirety of the series? :rolleyes

I mean, I love my evil riders for them being the full circle of the Cross Of Fire concept, but wouldn't it be so much fun to play with expressive characters like Dezast?

I am a sucker for evil Riders, they are my favorite Riders to collect, and most of my favorite characters and suits are/were evil Riders.

Which is why I think it means something when I say I am tired of there being so many evil Riders since...Ex-Aid I'd say.

Yup. That was also one of the reasons I choose Charge as Banjou's default suit in my collection. Also, IIRC it had the most appearances in the series too.

Also I'm wondering when will they announce the Revice SHF's? I hope they don't do something weird like having Revi as the retail suit while Vice is a Pbandai web exclusive. :D : D :D

I could see Revi and Vice being simultaneous releases. Perhaps we'll get the first multi-pack in years?

That's gonna be a jerk move if they actually do that.

Late September / Early October.

And Revi & Vice will 100% be released at retail at the same time, if not bundled as a two pack.

Revi and Vice are likely taking the two retail slots for this year. As a simultaneous release too, like Saber IIRC. Or am I only misremembering?

Whatever Daiji transforms into (LiveEvil?) will be P-Bandai. I'd like to see Vice's regular deadman look too, though but unlikely.

Saber and Blades were revealed at the same time; but Blades was released a little later -- I believe by a month?

I remember preordering Saber and Blades at the same time though, but they were released a month or so apart. April & March according to amiami listing

Since this season doesn't have the large cast of riders like Zero-One and Saber in the first quarter, could we get a form change as the first web shop release ?

I can see Megalodon, but that requires two releases in Vice and Revi, so I think Daiji's rider is more likely as the first.

If Revi and Vice take up 2 retail spots, do you think they'll give Revi the special reduced price, but still give Vice the full price?

Don't see why not. Revi will come with nothing but hands (but I kinda hope he has the phone gun at least), and then Vice is in the full price along with the Ohin Buster.

Got a feeling we'll see an auxiliary form or two as SH Figuarts. We know that our secondary Rider won't appear until the end of 2021/beginning of 2022, so literally all it would take to cover Revice would be our 2 retail slots. Of course, there's also his first quarter upgrade, but that's a given.

IIRC the last time we had this few Riders was Zi-O, so I can only imagine we'll see at least 2 auxiliary forms as exclusives.

But at the same time, because Revi and Vice share auxiliary forms, that kinda complicates things. I can't imagine them selling exclusives as 2-packs nowadays(I think it'd be awesome - I just don't really see them doing it). I also can't see Revi and Vice's auxiliary forms being sold separately as exclusives. I wonder what they'll do.

I also think it'd be neat if we got Vice as a Tamashii Nations exclusive.

And then he'll be lottery sales because he was somehow more popular than TN ever thought of, right? hahahahahahaha

Shh! Don't give them any ideas.

I... Actually wouldn't mind if Storious' rider form gets a SHF, as unlikely it is. I'm not a fan of how the in-show suit looks but I wonder how it might look better as a toy.

Also, because I kinda want a figure of Storious that's not the SO-DO.

Personally I think the rest of the Revice SHF slots will be taken up by Saber :p It’s a good catchup year for them!

Ugh. It would be super-nice if S.H. Figuarts Upgrade provided instructions for how to use their products without breaking the figure in question. Broke the waist on Saber while trying to replace the bloody skirt.

literally never had a problem with SHFUpgrade products and I'm pretty rough with my Figuarts in general - relatively speaking.

you are supposed to use a flat head screwdriver to slowly pry the waist and lower torso apart. this is how it's always been - even before SHFUpgrade came around. I honestly have no fucking idea how you can even get it into a position where the waist peg would be in any danger. I've dissected so many Figuarts to death and I didn't even know that was possible.

They do. They have youtube channel about it.

Or, you know, just heat it up and pop it off. Though, I've never done that, I just grab them by the torso closest to the joint and pop it off from there.

Yeah I've just grabbed the lower waist joint, and gently pull. Never have I used a screwdriver.

I did use pliers for the weird nob on Cronus to get his skirt on. God that was a pain.

I wish I'd asked about instructions before I'd tried installing it. I'd assumed I could just pull the torso and waist apart - you can do it with Shinkocchou Seihou without a problem - but when that didn't work for me, I tried twisting the waist, thinking maybe there was a screw mechanism.

In retrospect, that shouldn't have done anything but engage the waist swivel. In practice, will relatively little pressure, it sheared straight through the peg connecting them, and in such a way they don't fit back together.

You technically can. I've pulled apart waists so I can stick the belt on other figures for funny poses.

But it seems you're not the only one who had this problem. Saber waists are a little more tight-fitting it seems, even though I didn't have this problem for Blades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhpuCBZ5ySI


You're only other choice is to do what the guy did and repair his Saber by drilling a hole and sticking a metal rod in, or grabbing another Saber SHF. Not like he's super expensive.

Just got my Naki in. Very very VERY cool figure!! Wonderfully bulky with a lot of character and they absolutely nailed the headsculpt and details. The only real problems I have are the undetailed Progrise Key and that it could have done with a couple more pairs of hands; but broadly this is a near-perfect representation of one of my favourite Kamen Rider characters and I'm super in love

Wish their white armor is actually shaded like the show, but the clean white is also pretty to look at. You have Rogue or Stalk, though? Would be neat to see how Naki looks next to similar-undersuit-using-characters.

Also, in topics, do we have any solid release date for Jaou Dragon and/or Saikou?

Release dates don’t pop up until the actual release month, so you won’t see any dates till November and October, respectfully

Oh, that makes sense. It's gonna be a while till I get mine, then since I want to ship both.

Nah, only villain I got is Ohma Zi-O. I like my heroes! Naki's undersuit is the same as Jin and Horobi though, right? So you should be able to do a comparison with them

Sigh.

Still waiting on Nin-Nin to ship my Orthros and Naki. Never taken this long with a pre-order before. They got Dark Kiva and DBZ Cooler out ASAP.

Nah. Naki and Ikazuchi both use Rogue and Stalk's undersuits respectively. It's only Ikazuchi who uses the MBJR armor like Jin and Horobi, though.

If anyone in the US still needs him, SHF Blades is currently on sale for $45 at Tokullectibles.

Pain.

Is that the SHF or DX version? Similar thing happened to my DX version. Pretty unsatisfied with the figure tbh

Did anything shear off, there? If not, you might be able to reconnect it?

Hey, thanks for posting that! It's good to know that it wasn't simply me blundering that broke it. Man, mainline SHF QC has sailed downhill. I'm probably going to pass entirely on Revi/Vice and just pick up the inevitable Shinkocchou Seihou releases in 10 or so years (or whatever they'll call the line at that point.)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What happened? These joint parts are removable but the instructions caution they go in a certain order when you reassemble it

Amazing ... but good luck for anyone trying to get it. Gamma Future sold out twice. Never thought Ultra SHFs were that popular
