Kenzan looks a whole lot shorter than Saber! I suppose that's just the accurate heights of the associated actors.

Meh - hopefully not. I'm done with Trigger and 3 announcements in a row feels like overkill.

It would make sense though, not gonna lie.

Would be hilarious if it was something like Trigger Truth.

US release of Revice on Tokullectibles

https://tokullectibles.com/search?ty...ampaign=buffer

I imagine this will make Revi easy to find in the aftermarket stateside.

Saber is still fairly easy to acquire at around retail price as easy as Amazon.

I definitely want to wait on a few reviews before I decide to pick Revi up.

Yeah since Vice comes with all the accessories he's gonna be harder to get for now and yeah with Saber due to the flaws with the unpainted sword and I guess lesser popularity for now his price and Blades has remained the same or way less on the aftermarket. The bluefin releases of Saber and Blades are still in stock on Amazon but only 2 and 1 remaining for each

If only I was good at painting I would be trying my own Xross Saber custom lol

SHF Upgrade are selling replacement LED Tiga Blasts head and chest parts.

For the three fans of that particular form.

SHF Revice now on SureThingToys

https://surethingtoys.com/search?q=k...*&type=product

I wish it actually as easy as just color swapping, I'd definitely buy the cheapest but working airbrush just to do it. But you'd need to swap out his head crown and also a new Haouken for him to use as well.

Although, I won't be opposed to doing my own if that Gashapon collection gives us Haouken.

HERO ON STAGE - Decade
3080 yen
March(?) release

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJmS0Qia...pg&name=medium

Yess. That's literally exactly the direction I was hoping they'd go for a Decade stage, and it looks so clean in execution. Biased, but definitely my favorite of those stages so far.

edit: woops wrong thread.

So it looks like we might get a Hero on Stage for all the riders. I'm curious do see what some of the less backdrop-distinct riders might look like. Just a regular 'ol quarry could work for more than half of them!

no rubber

Party time, people!

Ooooh, aaaaah

Well there's number 99 and 100 I guess :lol

Carmeara looks great, I'm almost tempted.

Kurona was right on the money with Seihou Ultraman. Looks great, I will try to get one.

She is tempting. Fortunately, I'm not too into her or Trigger, so I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope this leads to Camilla someday as well.

She's an absolute surprise though since we haven't seen her in any event at all.

I did predict this. Which is what makes it even funnier that a matter of days ago, I finally managed to buy Figuarts Ultraman :lol

I'm not too torn up about it. The original seems to be just fine with no problems that warrant a redo like say W or Kuuga, or even Faiz or Blade (in fact since the original was 2016, is this not the most recent figure to get a renewal? By a long shot in fact!), to the degree I actually didn't realise I was looking at a renewal until I scrolled down on Rei's post. Also it's modern Seihou so even after that post apologising for everything wrong with Tiga there'll probably be something bad about it, and I'm hardly in tears over not having to try and get a retail SHF pre-order

I'm in a similar boat; this figure looks great, but is from Trigger so - nah.

Just recently I kind of started to miss the monthly photos / scans of magazine reveals. They don't really happen all that often nowadays, I guess because of a better marketing presence online.

I think Kamen Rider Wizard holds that title still, 2013-2018. It might come down to counting months but its close.

Does this also mean I wouldn't have a hard time looking for regular Man going forward?

I might nab golden lady so I have some Trigger thing in my collection

and also a female figuar-- wait it'll probably be PB.

Maybe? But the last time he was reissued was without most of the accessories IIRC and they won't produce more.

It is. But most things aside from the main Ultra and some monsters are these days.

Oh true, I didn't consider that. Though I guess I was getting more at... there's a cutoff date where Figuarts became just generally good, and I would place that at about Gaim or Drive? Anything before that is fair game (especially with something like Wizard, eesht) even if it is surprising the more recent it is; but it's way more shocking to see something from 2016 get a must-get-redone treatment

True, actually! This might just be the best positive it provides. Right now the regular release from 2016 runs you 9000 yen and I can see that going down a fair bit now

Even then there were some issues but it started to get really, really good around that time, yeah. Before it was a bit more... "rough".

I don't even think it is that necessarily, it's just the most logical thing for the 55th anniversary. Kind of funny since the first Figuarts Ultraman celebrated the 50th one :lol

Yeah but I've never bought one

Oh well

That promo pic of Carmeara and Trigger

Really gonna be doing that, huh

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought it'd be lame for the big 100 to not be a surprise reveal.

Product sample for Carmeara is out. She looks pretty good, the great thing about Ultramen SHFs really is how much silver they around the body, so especially in Carmeara's case she's decorated in that nice silver and gold. She'll look really good in a shelf. The contrast of the matte grey and the shiny silver is so cool.

Like I said before, I'm just gonna wait for the potential Camilla out of this. Prefer her over Carmeara.

Of COURSE she's the one that comes with Trigger's Zeperion Ray effect! Why wouldn't she :lol

https://i.imgur.com/bRLGIXa.png

Idk. With Bandai's track record, regular man could get a seihou very soon to go along with his ultra cousin. Maybe then the old regular man shf will be easier to find, but i doubt it, considering how very very rare it is. So rare in fact that no photographs exist of it, only whispers of it in the dark corners of the fandom.

Edit: nvm, i thought it was a joke lol, didnt think you meant the stripped down best selection release or the one that came with the building effects as well as releasing alone.

Oooooo.
Eeeeee.

I want both of these. Cool that they weren't things we already knew about like we thought was going to happen. I still want Grigio though!

Yeah, I'm a bit bummed that this countdown to 100 has been mostly "Oops! All Trigger" aside from Man nii-san, but oh well.

I hope Grigio finally gets put up for pre-order during the next Ultra Galaxy Fight miniseries.

Wasn't sure if this was brought up before but looks like based on translation, SHF Evil's listed as Bat/Jackal Genome.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...0/IMG_2109.png

I'm assuming this means he'll include a form-swap consisting of the Jackal stamp and an alternate head and chest part? Since when looking at both suits, the helmet and chest emblem are the only things that change.

It was not brought up before to my knowledge but I did think this would happen given how minor the changes are.

Source?

Edit: using image translations make it seem a little suspicious. The magazine image says "price undecided" it's the one with the '/', but the facebook post says it's 6,600 yen.

Edit again: I'm dumb and don't even remember my own posts. The price was already decided long ago in the leak I put up here.

The fact it is 6600 yen makes me suspicious of it having any form swap parts

Yeah, this one. Especially since we had Saikou last year who could "form swap" and was priced at 7,700 yen. Granted that might be because of the amount of tampo printing they did for him, but Evil probably sports some tampo printing as well.

Bandai looks generous with that price tag.

I don't think Saikou is an example, as that didn't involve any larger parts like an alternate head or whole other chestpiece. It's more comparable to Vice coming with an extra ViStamp. But either way, looking at basically any Premium Bandai SHF Rider recently that has come with more than just a few small accessories (so more than hands, or Naki's claws), they have broken 7000.

Huh? Justice Serval has the huge claws, Metsubojinrai a sword and sheath, Kenzan got both of his weapons, Ikazuchi got the dodo blades - they are all 6600.

And I think the swapping pieces for Jackal would be very minor, one faceplate and one plate for the chest. If anything a fully detailed Jackal Vistamp would be what I find the most strange about this :lol

I will admit I forgot about some of those... but most of those are pretty simple accessories; especially for MBJR and Ikazuchi. You also have to consider that Evil would be coming with this extra head and chestplate in addition to his weapon (and probably a holstered belt version), so it would be a lot more than all of those figures -- and there's also other examples like Slash coming with a lower accessory count, never mind Evil's complex paint applications in his splatters and the general rising cost of plastic. Would be cool but it's still a fair amount more than that pricetag usually gets attached to
