Oh shiz! Thanks for showing me this site, they have the DX saber stuff I am looking for.

Late to the party but yes please to an original SS Decade rerelease. I too own the ZI-O version but still wanted the white belt version because of the violent emotion head and obviously having the white decade driver. Was hoping shf upgrade would of done another run of the accessories kit they did that consisted of a remold of the decade driver and violent emotion head...maybe this reissue will make them consider it.

Also hoping with the release of Grand ZI-O this month that Bandai has plans to release more final forms of Riders they haven't done yet such as Hibiki Armed and maybe rereleasing both SS Kuuga Ultimate and SS Hyper Kabuto because their secondary prices are insane...

The scenario I see is either a straight rerelease of the original, minus Violent Emotion, or a release that includes both Drivers and maybe Violent Emotion, but with only the Decade Kamen Ride and Attack Ride cards- none of the alternate Kamen Ride cards.

These two would like a word first

speaking of mugen I really hope they actually update the mold or whatever they need to do. I know it's been a long time but it still boggles my mind just how stiff the ghost line is.

I've dissected the ghost figures to death and the engineering is just godawful. even if you take off the parkas the articulation for everything above the waist is really bad.

I'm probably worried over nothing since grateful's articulation and molding was spectacular - but then again, it had an entirely new torso.

an updated ghost mold would make me less worried for falchion when we eventually get him, too.

Genius....!

I suppose this is what they're doing? It wouldn't surprise me, but also he's wearing a parka so the Ghost body probably isn't updated and he'll still be in a stiff torso.

A new "Ghost" body is definitely going to be used for Falchion. They did it for 001/Ikazuchi. It's also to make Falchion stand in the same height as the other riders.

Oh for sure my friend but I know people are probably tired of me mentioning those lol so I figured I'd switch attention to other characters. I ultimately want to have all 20 Heisei Riders' final forms as figuarts and while I also feel a few of the already released ones could use an update they can wait.

Well, if we're talking final forms that aren't the ones that are already shown, I'd certainly want a prototype for Zero Two and Xross Saber :lol I'd genuinely love to see what they'd do with Xross with how unique the form is.

In other shows, an updated Agito Shining (even though the first release looks kinda on-par with the Seihou) and PuToTyra would be amazing.

Still so strange to me that Seihou W Xtreme hasn't happened yet. It's the only W form not yet done aside from Accel's finals, it's obviously from one of the most popular profitable series, you get to release it like three times... and yet it's been years. So strange.

I'm surprised we haven't seen Eternal Red Flare with how popular the original is.

Orthoros and Naki are so much fun to pose together. Glad to finally have them.

Who knows, we might see it soon this november(?). Wish I could get another crack at Fang Joker honestly, since I loved that form.

I think we're more likely to see Accel's forms first, though. Trial would looks so good.

Hhmm I don't see no reason for them to strip any accessories if it's a straight rerelease and also don't see them combining accessories either. We can't say yet because all other 50th anniversary releases were barebone anyways in terms of accessories just like the original releases. The packaging size for this Decade rerelease looks like the same size as it's original SS packaging judging from the photo which leads me to believe everything from the original will be included...if not then I hope it's way cheaper lol

I have Shooting rather than Orthoros, but I can definitely relate to having a lot of fun with Naki and Vulcan together. Probably some of the nicest looking pairs I have; and I'm speaking as someone who owns Build and Cross-Z!

Definitely don't see them combining releases. Excluding, however, is something I could assume, especially with things like the Rider Kick releases back in ZI-O.

If everything accessory is intact, amazing. I'm expecting the same price as he was released back then, 6,600 yen. If not, a little price hike since I'm always assuming a price hike even without reason.

Hopefully a prototype is revealed but I always scratch my head at how Bandai caters to auxiliary forms in the Seihou line like they've done with W and now OOO and Kuuga but have held out on the final forms minus Kuuga of course. I lol at how we're getting Super TaToBa, an extra final form, before Putotyra Combo thus keeping up the trend lately of them catering to extra and special forms first.

Marketing tactics~ :cool:

Releasing LT and HM forms for Double would make some people buy them and then Extreme later. Releasing Extreme first would probably cannibalize the other two forms because people would think that they would need only CJ, FJ, and Extreme.

If not those reasons then it's because it's easy mold reuse/redo. Super TaToBa is a remold/retool of the regular OOO body and TaJaDor's head. PuToTyra (and by extention my boy BuraKaWani) would need new molds.

IMO the current Shining Agito figuarts is dated but not as bad as other older molds where proportions and size issues stand out...I mean I recently got Wizard Infinity and mmmaann is he undersized even for figuarts scale standards from back then lol. Going back to Shining Agito though all they need to do is modify the SS Agito ground form because that articulation is perfect.

It's surprising, isn't it? No wonder it's still a little bit tough to find on the aftermarket. I've been tracking down one as well, it looks good for what it is and may serve as a neat substitute.

I would also like Agito Trinity too, tbh.

True true definitely was an easy remold and that has definitely dominated this year lol. I would of thought by now Bandai would realize we're at the point that almost anything will sell these days especially if it's a popular series or like a lot of us appreciate it more when we see it in Figuarts form. I'm still bitter they released a Build auxiliary form before Genius well after the series has ended and feel at this point holding off on final forms out of fear or worry other releases won't sell is not fair because if someone likes something it'll sell regardless.

Beautiful and I feel Agito Burning holds up well too

Bandai still gets duds sometimes. I assume that's what keeps them from doing however they want.

Shining and Burning were an entirely new mold because they were made quite a while after the last Agito SHFs were released, which is why they hold up as well as they do

You know that menacing choir soundtrack that plays during intense scenes? Something like this?

That's what rang in my head as I opened his box. Fear and anxiety hitting me. And yet...

Wow, he looks gorgeous!

But, uh, he felt sticky, gross and weird on his torso. He's already got a chip behind him on his back, straight out the box. I'll see him in a week.

i can't wait for when they release tiga power type and tiga sky type and not learn their lesson

I feel like even if they did learn their lesson, they can't go back and fix Tiga. If they fix Sky and Power ppl will be mad, if they don't fix Sky and Power ppl will still be mad. Plus they'd have to make new torso molds as well.

Anyway, I tried fiddling with him a little, just to figure things out.

...How many clicks am I suppose to hear on his torso? He goes one click and I'm already scared to go for another since it sounds like I'm forcing it :lol

I've... never heard mine click!

Oh. Oh no...!

https://i.imgur.com/gzm0Ug6.jpghttps...om/gzm0Ug6.jpg

If I recall, I think there are gears installed inside the torso to lock the arms in place when you move them forward to prevent the rubber torso from springing them back? I believe that's the source of the clicking sounds you're hearing.

Honestly, it's pretty stupid and makes me wonder why they bothered with the rubber torso in the first place.

The clicking comes from the included time bomb feature, after three clicks the figure explodes in a giant cloud of smoke and fireworks, true Tokusatsu-style.

@Topic: Remember the Delta Rise Claw figure that sold out in minutes? There's gonna be a second run. As a lottery sale.

You can't make this shit up, the figure that should be made to order sells out, second run only via lottery, meanwhile they're gonna release three of those adults in colorful sleepwear from that upcoming Marvel movie no one I know cares about at retail. What the hell is going on right now. They always made some obviously questionable decisions, but it cannot be this difficult to look at the numbers and see what sells and what does not.

Unless they only had like 50 Delta Rise Claw's total. Then this makes sense but raises other questions.

It's weird because I've only seen this happen with Ultraman figures -- this, Gamma Future and Ultraman 55th. They have to know these particular figures are popular - they keep making more Z SHFs, and OG Ultraman is OG Ultraman - but they seem to keep understocking them?

https://c.tenor.com/fxSZIUDpQIMAAAAM...n-nichijou.gif

My neighbors when I activate the third click. :lol

At this point, I think lottery sale is just their band-aid method for other people to get a shot at figures they want.


Oh, those literal whos? I guess it's not too surprising they get figures as retail, but I'm baffled they got three out the gate. But also, I think (I think) that Marvel releases more in retail than other properties. So, I'm lead to believe that stuff that's not DBZ and Toku are their own separate division or something so different decision handling.

In some good news: Hacchaka's review of Z Original

Not only are the Marvel Eternals figures all retail, they're releasing next month! No doubt they've just been sitting in a warehouse and waiting to get dumped because of how often the movie has been delayed

I gave up trying to get all the other Z forms after twice seeing how fast Gamma Future sold out. Don't be surprised if the aftermarket on it reaches 30,000 like that big fella Titas. I was lucky to get Sevenger for a pretty good price, though when I saw it on Jungle the price hadn't blown up as much as I thought it would.

Fiiiinally got my Dark Kiva in and... Man am I bummed.

Anyone know what would be the best kind of glue to get the two halves of the cape back together? One of mine came just completely separated, showing the wire, making handling it even more of a pain.

Aleene's "The Ultimate" multi-surface adhesive always works wonders for me. Just be careful when applying, because once you've glued something together with it it's quite permanent

Not sure about "The Ultimate" after reading on it, but the brand does have a fabric glue that I might get... You think it'd still be flexible after applying though? I know I'll have to be real careful with whatever I use to not use too much or get it too deep though.

I suppose that'd depend on where exactly the tear is located. As long as it's not interfering with most of the wiring, you should be fine.

Welp... It's an entire edge along the wire that needs reglued. Like I can see the glue residue from the factory, it just didn't hold at all on that edge for some reason.

Oof, now I'm gonna be worried about my Kiva Emperor Form's capes.

Ah. Then I also suggest investing in a thin glue nozzle so you can repair it using as little glue as possible. As long as no glue gets on the wire itself, you should be fine.
