The Ribut pre-order announcement I ordered on Wish is here, nice!

I feel this is appropriate. Just replace Grigio with Ribut.

That’s hilarious. Is there a subgenre of Figuarts web comics that I'm unaware of?

Chibull Seijin would do this...

Nah, this is just one of Redol's skits. He's more a generally toku skit artist/animator than being specific to SHF.

Oh yeah totally. If you own a broadcasting station and direct TV shows you wanna get in on that merchandise money for sure.

I see. Still fun to see Figuarts in this context though.

Don't mind me, I'm still waiting for Z Beta Smash announcement.

No Ribut SHF. Sorry, Kiwami.

Oh you misunderstand; they will totally reveal that in the next blog this weekend instead of focusing on a Rider that is releasing soon. For sure.

buster should've come with an extra gekido that just looks shittier and is permanently in a bent position lmao

if shfupgrade does it i'm going to lose my shit tbh

They only need to sell a PDF you can print, cut out and assemble yourself, the stunt swords looked like paper builds anyways. Would be a fun arts & crafts project though :lol

This, but for all the swords. I want flattened Swordriver Seikens, Paper Mache Kurayami, and actually-looks-like-candy-Suzune

:lol:lol:lol too funny about the stunt swords...missed opportunity to partner with NERF and sell foam swords

Did I buy a Lightning Collection figure just for the effect part for Espada? Yes.

nice

Ya! Glad I’m not the only one that dose that :)

Yes, those lightning collection effect parts fit in so well with other stuff

Boom

Amazing. Tamashii actually managed to release all the forms of a New Gen Ultra.

Yeah sure, that's what makes perfect sense to be revealed this weekend. Ultraman Z Beta Smash. Nothing else.

Kind of cool that they managed to get all of the forms out, sucks how terribly handled most of the releases were though, they produced way too little of those, especially for a service that's supposed to be "made to order". But I assume it isn’t fair to be so hard on them, the ongoing situation is still impacting production, from materials, factory workers and shipping, and we can only assume how much.

Beta Smash looks great though, and I’m happy to see so many cool accessories included. Cute tidbit for those who weren’t collecting 4 years ago, that’s the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid "Beginning Set" base with a new print. And although I haven’t handled it, I believe it was retooled from the first release base that came with Kamen Rider Gaim, adding support arm ports.

Ikazuchi is set to release on 17, while Jaou Dragon is 24!

What date does Kiva Emporer form release ?

Ah, right. Emperor is on the 24th and Super Tatoba is the 17th(?)

Super Tatoba, Hell Rising Hopper and Z Alpha Edge metallic version all release during Tamashii but they've got like, a billion different sales methods and some of those methods come out after the event, I think?

Thanks

And just paid AmiAmi for SS ShadowMoon. So he'll be here this week.

Decade goes up for pre-order tomorrow, I wonder if we'll get a suprise Revi and Vice reveal.

Hoping I can catch him via Hobby Genki, then. Glad he's a straight reissue + a stand, just hoping he won't have the same elbow problems as the other figures in the Decade mold. Though, Decade Complete makes me hope that's the case.

I really can't wait for the Revi SHF. If they actually make it metallic like the show suit, it's going to be beautiful.

Weird that Decade seems to be restricting japan buyers.

Maybe their stock numbers are so low they want to at least make sure Japanese buyers shop at the Japanese branch instead of buying one of the few they have for Western customers? IDK.

Also, @Topic: Still no Revi and Vice. Weird. At this point they'll be at the Tamashii Nations event for sure, but both Zero-One and Saber went up for pre-order way earlier.

Doesn't seem like restricting Japan did anything at all.

Not really, no. Same old AmiAmi situation. But I don't need Decade so it's fine.

Anyways, Tamashii Nations is soon-ish, I'm slowly getting excited to see what they have in store.

Oh yeah, that's, like, 2 weeks away now. Anything you guys think we'll see or want to see there?

I remember they teased Singular Point Jet Jaguar but haven't shown it yet, would be fun to see it there.

For Ultraman stuff I don't really know what I would be excited for. A new Shinkocchou Seihou? Only if it's Mebius or Max, I'm not huge into Heisei Ultraman otherwise. Trigger Dark would be dope. Aside from that, surprise me. Maybe we can finally get that Redman that was teased eons ago, or a good OG Gridman that isn’t tied to a combination gimmick.

For Kamen Rider I would like to see Durandal and Sabela for Saber, and since they will most likely unveil Revice-stuff there maybe we can get glimpses at Evil and Demons? The timeframe is shifted obviously but I remember when Zero-One was a thing the event had every Rider featured in the show at that point.

Speaking of Zero-One, I want to see lots of stuff there. Basically all the reaming upgrade suits from the show, which aren't too many. I would love to see Ark-One.

As for new Kamen Rider stuff altogether - Black Sun will be unveiled there, right? Good chance we'll see figures of the new designs already, that could be cool.

I don't really care much what the next Rider Shinkocchou Seihou will be, anything is fine with me.

What interests me most is the things I don't expect to see, more Toku stuff that doesn't get too much coverage or hasn't been done.

Oh, something I definitely think we'll see: Almighty Saber

Might be a pipe dream but them revisiting Metal Heroes and particularly the series that had American counterparts such as VR Troopers and Beetleborgs Metallix aka B-Fighter Kabuto.

I also hope they consider doing Anime color versions of the Super Sailor Stars from Sailor Moon that came with the effect parts

The B-Fighter figuarts are already pretty good. As much as I love Metal Heroes, I wouldn't hold my breath for them. The characters themselves haven't gotten much love ever since their Space Squad series of V-Cinema movies from 2017. And apparently those movies didn't do enough to drum up interest in a Metal Heroes revival.

I would like to see Seihou Black RX now that we have Black and Shadowmoon.

An Ichigo first appearance recolor would be fantastic. The suit from Superhero Senki was so good.

For wishful thinking, I'd love to see a Figuart of Zenkaiger or Juran especially if hes coming back for the next series.

Battle Hopper also seems pretty likely, talking of Seihou Black
