I hope the size goes back down, I hate the increase, relatively minor as it was for the Saber line.

My head is just exploding rn loving the Showa treatment and gokai red !
My wallet is gonna be dry dry after all these, I just bought ss kiva, den-o, beast and diend and had a feeling tamashii was gonna go nuts for this event

Was there any release/preorder news for revi&vice and the Showa riders or just announcement ?

Wait, guys, we're missing the biggest thing about Revice.

The. belt. is. DETAILED.

As expected, the Vistamps don't have any sticker detail, but for the extra detail for the screen of the belt? That's insane.

I took the poll, and under "characters other than heroes you'd like to see" I put my dream figure. I have waited for a figure, any figure of him since 2013. One day some company will have to...right?

....Right?

The belts/drivers have never really been an issue with being detailed and painted though....it was always the gimmick item that suffered so seeing that vistamp detailed like that is great to see

Underrated suit.

I know I keep ranting about Durendal and Sabela, but seriously, I really do have my eyes on them. They look like royal guards, are themed after encyclopedias (my childhood passion) and even if I lose interest in Kamen Rider in the future they have wonderful fantasy-esque designs so I really have them on my wish list. The fact that Saber Figuarts are going down in price means these guys could be affordable within five years or so.

Who's this?

They are? In any case, I Am DROOLING for these two. I absolutely adored these two and look great together! As you say, they really fit that royal guard aesthetic that they obviously needed to look. Them and Primitive Dragon, goddamn Saber SHFs have me by the hand!

The shogun samurai guy from the OOO movie.

Yes. I have a feeling that a combination of terrible show, the need to switch hand guards, and lack of detailing on the WRBs contributed to it. Mostly the terrible show.

Which is too bad as the designs are the best I've seen in years.

That 8500 yen Espada

https://i.imgur.com/39vts1O.png

Yeah I was hoping to wait until the end of the season to pick up Revi at a lower cost, but I'm starting to think it will have a fate closer to Zero-One in the aftermarket. Vice I can see being a peg warmer...

Unless they pack him with Revi :lol

I see I paid 10,000 yen for nothing then.

I'm still very sure Revi and Vice will be a two-pack; Ex-Aid, Brave and Snipe was old in a three-pack after all, and Brave and Snipe aren't primary Riders.

Also, Vice has a hilarious personality and the only thing I can see stopping Vice from being a popular figure is if they mess up his character later on in the show.

Once Jaaku Dragon starts hovering around 8000-8500 consistently I'll bite and yes please keep dropping in price for Espada and Dragonic as well something like 7000 yen would be good for Espada....if only shipping costs hadn't spiked I would of been scooped up one of them

Let me just chime in real quick, I don't have proper time to fully express my thoughts, will probably do a full post later, but for now:

In the 8 years that I watch these yearly events, this is the best one they have ever done.

Holy shit did they drop bombshells this year. As if the Rider department wasn't amazing enough, they have so much hype stuff all around for almost every licence they cover. Jesus Christ.

I mean, Zenkaiser and Ribut at retail next week is already awesome news, hope I can get them both.

That 8500 yen is enough for me to jump in. If I have money to spare currently! :lol

It's not done either! Shogun guy, Burakawani, Black Sun, there's a few more they'll show!

It's a matter of do you want something soon as it releases where you will pay more or don't mind waiting a few months once the rush or hype dies down and prices start to drop...I just think because of Valkyrie and Horobi's aftermarket prices and popularity that people are looking for the next figuart that is gonna spike like that but I feel none of the Saber characters or forms fit that bill aside from maybe Jaou Dragon

Ribut finally.....😁

Wait, I noticed they don't seem to be showing off Revice's weapons

For the questionnaire I picked Wolzard.

I need my SHF Wolzard, Bandai. His design is one of the best designs ever, and I NEED HIM.

RIP.

Answered the survey too to support. I picked Deka Master and Wolzard too haha

Is Vice popular? I think he's up as one of the worst comedic characters the series has had.

I did wait, I got Espada in early October. :'(

Looking back at the Superhero Senki movie poster, it was weird that Vice was depicted in his un-transformed mode.

I'm just glad they aren't trying to shoe-horn in a combine mode for the two of them.

Also I wouldn't mind a tiny rubber ducky.

Vice is the single worst thing to ever happen to Kamen Rider.

A UTI is funnier than Vice.

If kids genuinely love Vice so much then I sincerely fear for the future of humankind.

Well... His hashtag did go trending. Does that count?

I'll take a rubber ducky included with him and/or a SHF of his deadman look.

Lol

Was this before or after the show aired? After fair enough.

Guys, how to generate infinite money to buy this?

It trended during the episode when he showed it on screen.

Yeah that sucks... I started seeing Espada pop up occasionally for 9000 back in September and felt like ok maybe the price drop is happening but in general I noticed a lot of price drops for recent releases though on Mandarake

Oh man that looks even worse as a toy. :(

I'm sure it won't take much to own this ugly but yet beautiful piece of crap ineffective design lol

Fair enough! I guess my tastes don't line up with the majority then.

I can't order from Manda anymore...so I guess this may still be for the best.

Oh, I guess I'm the only one that likes Vice then, cool then.

And that Decade Complete 21 though...I'm not sure if the cape is plastic or not, but either option seems pretty terrible; a plastic one would mean having a large plastic plate dangling from the back (limiting poses) and a fabric one would mean the cards have to be stitched or printed, raising costs through the stratosphere and leaving the possibility of the card things coming off if its stitched/glued (not a very appealing notion).

Huh? Why not? I recommend using wakuwaumono, a third party proxy shipping service that allows you to order from any website in Japan. Basically they buy it for you and ship it to you. Fare is reasonable.

Vice is also a suit character so even though he's designed to be hyperactive and annoying he's much easier on my nerves than Mei or that stupid monk on cocaine, because he can't do weird ass faces in camera closeup. Even though he's trying his best / worst.

Seriously, I don't know why you guys dislike Vice so much, in my opinion we've had worse comedic relief characters in Rider. Much worse.

Idk man, I'll take Mei and even Akiko over Vice any day.
