Ha! Yeah, pretty much. Reminds me of the time they had Yuichi Nakamura on stream for a Den-O reveal, had him play with the Zeronos Belt and stuff, and then announced a Momotaros figure :lol

I mean we did get Zeronos later but their streams are always a tad bit weird when it comes to timing.

I'd wager that they do that to throw people off sometimes. Also, it might be based around on who's available to be a guest on these streams.

Oh for sure, you can't always get the exact actor you need for these kinds of things so the available crewmember is the next best thing, but it's still a bit funny.

To be honest, while I don't mind the repaint itself, I wish we had gotten like, an Ultraman Titas reissue instead. I constantly regret not springing for him.

It would be hilarious if this is how renewal Fourze and Blade are announced

So wait, he is a massive Kamen Rider fan and toy collector in the series? Thats part of his character? I've only seen episode 1.

Also seriously considering picking up some new Figuarts just to give more weapons to Grand Zi-O. I really want the Trailer-Hou gun.

I know the image with the Ichigo figure is from this week's episode. The articles coming out before the show premiered said he was a massive fan, although I didn't expect he would actually have in-universe merchandise. Originally the producers intended the Kamen Rider franchise to be a TV show in the world of Revice but that's been scrapped. Now they just went with the Gokaiger route

I mean it still makes sense that there would be action figures or heroes that exist in the world.

That many figures, of that quality? And belt replicas? Considering that some of those riders should be much less well known in universe than others?

Nah, maybe George just got his hands on some multiverse research, and has been stopping over someplace they're fictional to get his hands on the merch ;)

I mean George's been outed as a huge rider fan from Revice's crossover cameo in the last episode of Saber. His phone case was covered in riders and he was decked out in plush charms of various riders, too. It's why the stamps have past riders integrated into them.

I like the word choice here of 'outed' as if it was some kind of secret when he's practically yelling about it every chance he gets :lol

George's gym is also his rider shrine apparently. So, that's pretty neat.

Also, unrelated, but I was fiddling around with my Ultraman Z Alpha Edge when I realized the upper part of his elbow joint can swivel. No, not the bicep cut, the upper part of the elbow joint proper. So, I realized:

Why didn't Bandai use this elbow construction for their Seihous instead of the fighting action-styled elbows that plagued OOO and Seihous going forward?

Seems like a far more safer option.

I blame the henshin jingles for blowing the Kamen Riders' existence into the public. You can try and cover up monster explosions as gas leaks but there's just no hiding those singing belts and talking weapons. :lol

The producer saying 'riders being fictional would confuse the kids' is so funny considering the alternate explanation that they all just happen to exist in the show but aren't mentioned until relevant is a hundred times more ridiculous and illogical.

I thought it was more so: "Riders being fictional would make crossing over other riders hard and confuse the kids". Which, of course, some kids would be confused as to how riders would cross over when they were only fictional. And also they'd be doing another HeiGen Forever thing all over again every time Revice crosses over. Making them all exist in the same world would be much easier to work with for the producers.

Pulling back on the topic of SHFs, I wonder if they would do something interesting for the Revice sub-line. I mean the obvious route is Revi and Vice as the two retail, as much as I think that's kinda unfair and I want Evil as retail, too.

But I've been wondering if they'd pull a "deluxe set" kind of thing which would be funny, actually. You get the option of buying either Revi or Vice, and then there's a 'special set' that has both as a two-pack, but to compensate they come with the little base with the stamps, and the phone gun.

I think Revi will be a standard entry-grade priced retail release, and Revi & Vice will happen at the same time as a two-pack with more accessories like the Oinbuster, also at retail. Maybe with a Rex Genome-stamp pattern printed stand too.

Vice will probably not be available outside of the two-pack, I don’t really see the point of selling him on his own. After that secondary Rider for retail and probably nothing else.

It can’t be much longer before we find out, either next week or the one after.

Just please keep the Remix mode out of SHF!

Vice is simply an accessory to a Revi deluxe set

Kek. That would be funny. I just think he'd be sold solo too as the 'basically accessory pack' for Revi. Having Evil as the second retail instead would be neat, though, I can probably save money in that regard, too. Until they inevitably make Live P-Bandai.

Haha! I doubt they'd do the Remix Mode for SHF! HOWEVER, I would love to recreate the poses regardless! Maybe someone can cannibalize the RRF figures to do the Remix Mode for the SHFs.

Grand ZI-O figuart decal confirmed: https://shfupgrade.boutir.com/item/G...56738061991936

I'm gonna try and make my own and report back with the result.

Geiz was easy enough, but Grand Zi-O looks a little more complicated.

I hope figuarts Regulus is a thing. That suit design is just so good. :rock:

Custom shf Zero Two
 

kinda impatient for the official release so why not made it myself

added a bit gimmick .how do you guys think of it?

Okay wow, that's actually kinda stunning! Well done!

Beautiful great work!

Did you use the Vinyl for this one? In any case, that looks good.

Awesome job! The belt really blows me away.

What paint did you use to match the Zero-One color?

i used a 3d printed resin parts from a 3rd party company in hongkong

100% of the colours used was from Mr Colour Brand

Fluoresecent Yellow
shiny Silver
Clear Red

and gloss topcoat

Oh I seen those! They had an Ark-One set, too. I wanted to try it, but buying and shipping one is a different story and would cost me no different than a P-Bandai rider, so I'd be better off actually buying a Ark-One SHF.

Was Slash's SHF already announced? I already have Saikou, Kenzan and Buster preordered but for the life of me, I don't remember seeing a Slash SHF official announcement with pricing.

Slash was announced at the same time as Kenzan, yes. He's going up this soon on October! Honestly still debating if I should grab him or not. On one hand, I love him and teh actor, on the other he might feel missing with Buster lol.

Edit: Guess Game.

SHF Shin Kamen Rider. Retail or P-Bandai? :lol

There's a Tamashii drop happening on October 1st. Revi & Vice haven't been shown yet but Tamashii does have a history of revealing the new Rider of the season on the day pre-orders go live so be prepared, just in case.

Retail 100%

Checks wallet

Yeah, I'm ready.

You related to Blade Raider by any chance? :lolol

C172 Semi Gloss Fluorescent Yellow?

Are the web servers ready :/

Nothing Toku related in tonight’s drop, unless there has been something that hasn’t been revealed yet. I’ll keep an eye out

Thank you. I don't know about Saber, I think he was in a separate drop later, but Zero-One was definitely not revealed when the drop was announced, he was shown the day it happened and then added and I remember people missing out because of that.

Figuarts announcements for Ultra and Rider tend to accompany their episodes' airing anyhow, right? We could see something tomorrow and the next day.
