Looks like neither was P-Bandai at all!

Hello~
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...63/unknown.png

Evil is webshop, so still just 2 riders getting retail. Revi's reduced price is 500 yen more than the last few years, but Vice's is 500 less than I think Blades was, so that evens out. And Vice comes with the weapon, which also has the Decade stamp? Huh.

Both go up for order January 11 and apparently release next month ?

Vice does indeed come with the Megalodon stamp and it can plug into the axe

WeaponS. He comes with both the Axe and Gun mode of the Ohinbuster so you can display them both using it. Little bit similar to how Vulcan had the Attache Shotgun and Blade.

Although, a part of me wish it was the hammer instead though.

Gahhh I'm trying to cut down seriously on the figures I buy. But I REALLY want both Evil and Live.

Really gave Kageoru his own teaser

So basically, the release window is not different to other main Riders at all, it's just the pre-orders that are late. Plus Evil right in the pipeline for PB pre-orders too.

Anyways, Revi & Vice look perfect and I want them. Hope pre-orders won't be too much of a hassle, but even if they are, the release is next month so they will be easy enough to find soon enough I assume.

I don't care much for Evil, neither suit nor character, but the design makes for a really good looking figure.

I would say Demons isn't far off because chronologically he appears after Evil, but I'm fully expecting Live, Jeanne and maybe Barid to come first before Demons.

They did it with Buster.

Maybe im just misremebering but doesn't the Ohinbuster stay the same regardless of whether it's being used as an axe or gun? They just hold it by a different position, don't they?

That's the idea and the DX toy works that way, but the show prop has different proportions for each mode. The melee mode has a bigger blade and a smaller gun handle etc.

I never noticed! o_o I feel like i've had a magic trick played on me, especially compared to Saber's size-changing sword, wow..

Oh it's very hard to notice since it is so minor. Especially after years of swords growing like 3 times the size!

No matter how long the wait, after seeing Evil I'm certain this line will be awesome, and since the Demons suit is fantastic the figure will turn out to be equally if not more fantastic.

Yup, it's a well-done illusion; I didn't realize right away either.

If nothing else, it won't be long to wait for all the Riders since for once a Reiwa season has less than 5 billion suits off the bat :lol

Hmmm am I really going to buy more Riders because I like the suits like I did last year even though I haven't watched the show still?

Yeah probably...

The hell? They both look great, the belt's fully-detailed, they come with their weapons, they're both retail and they're both pretty affordable?

...Bandai???

And they come out next month

Well, Vice comes with both the weapons rather than Revi coming with the axe mode or something; so essentially this is still the same kind of 01/Vulcan situation.

But. Yeah! The belt detailing is surprisingly good. Something I think is new to these pictures that we didn't see before at Tamashii is the underside of the ViStamps; which are also fully detailed!! Where was this the last three years?

Oh I didn't even notice that! Now I feel even more I have to buy these to support that lol.

Question, is there any way to tighten a SHF joint if you use a little too much shock oil? I used a little drop on my Buster's left hip, and I think the little drop was a biiiit too much instead of being worryingly tight now, it's worryingly loose now. Admittedly, he's still sturdy enough to stay standing on his own, and his leg doesn't wiggle too bad when I shake him a little, but it'll droop down a bit when I move it forward.

Then again, he never really did a lot of movement like that, so I'm probably worrying too much over it. And using that shock oil did loosen the hip enough to let me pull off the leg and check if the ball joint had any stress marks, and to my relief, it doesn't. And wiggling it isn't something I'm going to do normally. Still worried, but probably just too paranoid, since Buster's SHF is one of the SHFs I've been looking forward to getting for a long time since the beginning of Saber.

Yeah clean off shock oil as much as you can first off. If that doesn't resolve it, take either clear nail polish or super glue and apply a very thin coat and allow 24 hours or more to dry and cure. Repeat until you get to a point you're happy with.

Now that's how you play catch up with releases and like what's included, how they're being released and the teaser for Evil already.

I actually felt they could of gotten away with not painting the stamp side of the vistamps but them choosing to fully detail it reminds of the days of Gaim and Drive when those gimmick items were fully detailed

I was ready for either the display not being painted, the stamp not being painted, or both. I'm pleasantly surprised at the detail in the belt, definitely reminiscent of the pre Zi-O days.

It honestly makes me excited for figures like Evil which I didn't consider buying before, since the product just looks so good all around.

Pre-Ex-Aid days to be exact since the Build Driver was missing some decals and so were the Gashats.

The Ohinbuster/s don't have a stamp logo on the screen however, but I guess that's fine because you have the Megalodon stamp and it'd be weird to have Rex permanently stamped on there.

I'm more so excited for Evil, though. Don't care much for Vice and Revi is simply a necessity, Evil is the suit I'm mostly looking forward to. And Demons of course.

See, I personally wouldn't even count these since it's barely noticeable. The Ridewatches though? Ouch. Same with the Progrise Keys and Wonder Ride Books.

I'm repeating myself but Evil won me over because the figure looks so cool. I was ready to skip it, but now I want one. In fact, I was excited for Jeanne the most, now I know what I will get this season outside of Revi & Vice: Evil, Demons & Jeanne for a "Bat, Spider & Cobra"-trio display. That will look great. And 3 Web-Exclusive figures over the time it will take them to put these up for pre-order isn't too bad on the wallet.

Unless they introduce another Rider (they probably will) I think I don't need more anyway, I don't really feel like buying upgrade forms anymore.

SHFUpgrade is holding a poll(?) to ask people which Revice Genome form people would want to turn into an upgrade kit just like last time's Flying Falcon.

https://www.facebook.com/SHFupgrade/...9446879350865/

Personally the Progrise Keys are a bit more forgivable as most of the time they're stuck into the Driver so unless you look really hard, the lack of print isn't all that noticable.

For anyone with a Zero-One Driver or a variation of that one yeah, but the Shot- & Slashriser have open windows and on the Force- & Cycloneriser they are as visible as Ridewatches or Wonder Ride Books. Same with the Thousandriver really.

But personally I would agree, on the Zero-One releases it doesn't bother me much.

I totally forgot that the Zero-One/Ark Driver were the only belts to cover most of the Progrise Keys. But yeah, not as bothersome as, say, a double spread book-like collectible thing being completely blank when its supposed to be a centrepiece feature.

I ended up getting the SHF upgrade stickers for the Wonder Ride books and yeah, it's a significant improvement

They had a bit of time color-matching Revi it seems. Unlike the previous shows, Revi lacks any sort of dark color or black that could easily just molding color. So, they had a bit of time attempting to color match the metallic pink, and so the Revi on the very right is the one closest to the final product.

The ones on the left have had their pink painted, but because they wanted to keep the 3.5k yen price tag, it was changed to a glittery molding color.

They also talk about some other things like:

The amount of hand painting they had to do for Ikazuchi that made it hard to release him on a standard 6000 yen release.

Edit: the numbering on his shoulder indicates how many times he was painted on just the shoulder alone.

The curved surface on NinninComic making it difficult to apply the printing on his body

The difference between SHF Build's metallic red to SS Den-O's metallic red. They directly admit Build looks the way he is because the metallic red is directly applied onto the plastic so it doesn't increase the cost and keep the 3000 yen.

Den-O's metallic red is much more vibrant because it's a vibrant silver with a red overlay.

Revice's links are up on Amiami, going up on sale on 18:00 JP time. They also have a third option to just buy the set, costs the same, just saves you the time to pick up both.

Thanks Raizen!

So that's 1AM pacific time tonight? Oof. I don't mind staying up till midnight, but 1AM is a bit much when I have class tomorrow. Unfortunately SHF's are impossible to get if you don't get the preorder day one lately, so I'll have to do it anyway

The problem is even i stay that late, the website won’t refresh

HobbyGenki is up

https://hobby-genki.com/en/kamen-rid...102629913.html

Awesome, thanks, got them both on HLJ. I'd rather have them noe for sure then wait another hour to go through Amiami's server nonsense

Oh sweet, thanks! I think I'll still try to get them through Amiami but it's nice having them secured elsewhere in case I miss out

*Laughs in never does pre-orders but finds them at retail or less
