For those people who own the S.H.Figuarts saikou. Would like to check do you guys have any issues with the legs? Or heard any issue?

They're not tight, but they're not loose. Like I can have my Saikou stand in a wide leg stance and he'd stay standing without needing a stand.

Jungle has lottery prize Horobi in stock, 3 copies from 13,200 to 15,400

There's also this teaser at the end:

"Furthermore, at the online event "TAMASHII NATION ONLINE 2021" to be held from November 19th (Friday) to 21st (Sunday), that man who sticks to his own rules ...! ?? Stay tuned for more news!"

Another Vulcan on the way

That's definitely Lone Wolf, given what the Key says and that this is a blog about Justice Serval

It's not Rampage. Wallet saved.

Are they really that gray? Seems like a mistake.

As much sense as that makes, I really hope it'll be Rampage Vulcan.

Actually, looking at the actual suit, the gauntlets are more white than grey.

The claws are definitely grey on the suit. Just a glossy grey, not the flat plastic grey. I don’t care much about that though. And about the eyes, yeah, they could be more vibrant blue.

Yea, I meant the eyes there.

Enhancing image and...

We're getting the legendary seven showa riders in Seihou!
Personally would want Stronger.

Nuts, still no Seihou Super-1. Don't get me wrong, these are still great and all but yeah.

That is pretty wild; of the 7 there are so far only three made in Seihou -- so if they're seriously making the remaining 4 that's a pretty big reveal!

I want my V-3 and RIDERMAN!!!
And X!…
And Stronger…and Tackle, don’t forget Tackle

Considering my V3's hip joints are practically turning to powder, this is a welcomed announcement. Can't wait to upgrade the other 4 members of the 7.

Are there any of the other Showa riders that would desperately want a Renewal? People don't talk or post about them often so I'm not as familiar with them. RX is almost guaranteed to happen within the next year, but Skyrider, Super-1, ZX, the movie trilogy Riders?

All of them. They are all outdated at this point.

Damn, straight to the point :lol I guess they all predate Drive, right? Though I'm sure a couple came out around Gaim.

Talking of which, did you guys know that while ZO got a retail release; Shin and J were Premium Bandai? Like damn. I know I'm only one of 8 Shin fans out there and no-one ever thinks about J but that's an absolute knife twist!

ZO and J are the most recent ones I believe, like 2015 / 2016? But that's still 5-6 years ago and once Tamashii has actually managed to release the 4 prototypes they are teasing now it'll be 10+ years so they might as well remake ZO and J at that point.

I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago. ZO was like 4000 Yen before pre-order discounts too. Good times.

:lol

I still think the movie trio hold up the best of the Showas but I wouldn't be opposed to renewals. An even more accurate Shin would be a blessing.

On the one hand, it’s cool to see Tamashii revisiting classic riders; but I wonder if that will push back the development of the remaining Hesei figures that probably also need renewals

Heisei Renewals have been consistently done ever since Seihou started and we're down to 3 or 4 that really need them. I'd say I'm pretty okay with the Showas finally getting a spotlight on the 50th anniversary, especially when all but Stronger only need one release each unless they also do the bikes

I understand them doing Showa now.

But I sit here, waiting for my 555 renewals. One day...

Wonder if they'll be generous and give Stronger his electric effects like the original. Altho, it's more likely they'll just put a promo image with him using some and then a little text at the bottom advertising some sort of effect parts set. sigh. Think they'll reissue Nigou as well? In any case, Stronger's the only one I really care about in this lineup. It'd be a different story if J/ZO/SHIN/RX/ZX were in there.

Most likely. But, we're not even sure if these showa riders are going to come out in a row, I can see them trickling down slowly and maybe some other riders in between.

Me too, Faiz friend. Especially Kaixa...

I would love Seihou versions of the Showa movie Riders, and Doras too. Frequently tempted to pick him and ZO off Mandarake, they're often in stock at a fairly affordable price, but I worry right after I buy them, Seihou versions will be announced

Obviously not gonna show up in this event and I suppose this suit is not up to most people's taste, it's not my favorite suit either, but... seeing the SODO...

What are the chances? :lol It might look better as a toy now that the gold would look properly gold and doesn't have the cardboard look to it.

I think we'd get Solomon first, since Solomon uses Jaou Dragon's helmet and they wouldn't need to do a complete new mold for Storious.

Yeah, I suppose I should have included Solomon, too. But in general I was wondering if Bandai would bother doing the two of them.

Also would be hilarious since they would consider doing these two before they would even do the Kasshines

Solomon will happen first because he appeared first, but Storious will happen at some point imo

Bandai is so random with releases and characters that I believe there's no true set order of release anymore and YES I would gladly welcome Kamen Rider Storius because I liked his design more than Solomon's but I welcome them all

SHF Zenkaiger really makes me just want to see an SHF of a Kiramager. The gemstones design would look gorgeous in a figure.

SHFSS Yodonna please.

So, recently, as in yesterday recent, I got a SHF Ultraman Zero. It arrived today.
Maybe I should have waited 20,000 years first before I got one. I am 1000% assured it's not a bootleg since I know what looks and feels like one since I've bought some in the past.

-Paint scuffs all over the body,
-Some faulty construction on the torso, his back looks like it had been burn or something.
-Butterfly joints are completely stuck that not even blowdryer or dishwashing soap could save it. his color timer is also stuck probably because of paint.
-His legs are stupid floppy
-There is Stress mark on his elbow

Fortunately... He's still functional. The loose legs aren't loose to the point he can't stand, and most of the joints are still tight. If that's something.

Dear lord, I am mad. Really mad. Once I get Trigger and Z Original, I'm most likely laying off of Ultra SHFs unless it's something I really want like an Absolutian or something.

Is that the 2021 reissue? Mine was and had some awful QC, but not quite that bad.

Not quite sure. But it might be

Has anyone ever applied the Decade Complete Changeable Card Set from SHF Upgrade? I applied the magnets on a while ago but now I kinda want to remove it.

The problem is that the magnets feel like they're stuck onto the torso. I've only tried to lightly budge it out with my fingers since I'm afraid I might cause some permanent damage to the original stickers.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ya...36KyDg=s1000-c

I have that set and have applied the magnets but I can't tell you if they feel permanently stuck but I didn't really apply a lot of pressure to them

Also SHF Upgrade is doing figuarts Horobi's attache arrow so let's see if that causes the original release to come down in price a bit: https://shfupgrade.boutir.com/item/1...32126774935552

With this announcement I'm definitely more motivated to get the clear variant since that's been dropping heavily in price on Mandarake and it's only a matter of time until a listing pops up for me before it sells out
