You like Gaim? Those are pretty cheap right now and could probably get most of the main 4 together for $250

Haven't watched Gaim yet unfortunately. I'll repost my tier list from the KR General Thoughts thread to give an idea of what series I'm into. I also sometimes buy particularly cool looking suits if they're cheap even for stuff I haven't watched. It's why I have New Den-O and Go(r/l)d Drive

Tachibannersen might screw you in the shipping because of his box size, plus I'd kinda suggest waiting out on a Seihou in the future. I am.

Some good stuff to get would probably be Jin Burning, Jaou Dragon is going for $55 apparently, Metal Build and Prime Rogue are up currently for 55-60

Jaou Dragon and Prime Rogue, reptile purple and gold fourth Rider Final Form combo sounds fun. Do you know if Prime Rogue's head was ever improved from those horrible first promotional pictures or if there's a 3rd party replacement head though?

No, not really. A few millimeters sure, but they still flare out a bit.

My suggestion would definitely be some Saber riders. If you like those suits that is, because the figures are amazing.

Watched a review of Prime Rogue, definitely looks a bit better. After browsing through everything in stock at Nakano, I'm down to four choices for the third and final figure

1. Naki - 6500 yen (They had an incredible character arc with Fuwa, plus as someone going through some gender thoughts lately they're extra relatable)

2. Seihou Momotaros - 5500 yen ( Haven't watched Den-O beyond the two episodes on the Toei YouTube channel, but he was great there and in all the movies I've seen him in. Plus he's pretty cheap)

3. Build RabbitRabbit - 6500 yen (My favorite Build power up. Should have been his final form. Plus the Fullbottle Buster is my favorite Kamen Rider BFS/BFG combo)

4. SIC Joker - 4500 yen (Joker is such a good suit design for half-boiled Shotaro's character evolution, plus I love the SIC aesthetic. Minus they're bigger and heavier than Figuarts so it might effect shipping more).

Any help in narrowing it down to a winner? I'll admit that I'm more interested in Naki and RabbitRabbit than the other two. Also if you're reading this, please don't buy the Jaou Dragon and Prime Rogue on Nakano until I can make a final decision tomorrow. Feel free to buy the Momotaros or Joker to help make it easier to choose though!

The only one I own is Naki, but I've handled Momo.

Naki looks absolutely phenomenal but has some articulation issues due to the suit design, and you will need to modify the cuffs on the wrists some if you want to have the claws rotate with the hands. Still, if you've got any degree of Vulcan/Fuwa collecting going on, Naki's a must.

Momo's just a solid figure. Be more solid if they reissued the Den-Liner set with him like the olden days, but that's just me talking as someone who likes to do goofy display stuff.

On the subject of Build- make sure you're looking at one that includes the corrected driver. RabbitRabbit came out of the factory with the Evol Driver instead of the Build Driver, which basically amounts to a different design in the silver circular bit but could drive you mad if you're a particular type of collector (which I am).

My pick is Momotaros. Definitely not because I recently bought Den-O Seihou :lol

but because he'd make for a pretty unusual figure in the display, and since he doesn't have much in the way of armor, he'll be pretty fun to pose. I guess if you also have the Revice SHFs coming in, he'd do well in some good photos with Vice too maybe?

Also because gloss red is a beauty to look at.

Momotaros is one of the best figures they've done.

...But my vote is Naki for the reasons you mentioned and black and white toku suits are always pure eye candy.

Between here and asking some friends who aren't Rider fans, Momo and Naki got the most votes, pretty much equal amounts, but after watching reviews of both, I decided to go with Momo. Now here's hoping shipping isn't too painful

Received the confirmation email. None of them got canceled and shipping was "only" 3000 yen. Probably the cheapest shipping I've had on a Mandarake order since covid started though

EDIT:
Rather than making a third post in a row I'll add on here. My registered card isn't working this time. The payment request email said I could reply directly to it if there were issues, hopefully they'll let me switch to Paypal this time

EDIT EDIT:
Nevermind, forgot that every time I buy from Mandarake my bank thinks it's fraud and cancels it tell I tell them It's fine. All's fixed now

General release 7,700 yen, orders open up February 8

Man I know it's suit accurate, but the upper half being larger than the lower half is pretty odd and a bit funny.

I prefer mine with a bit of balance

I feel like they could have found a nice balance of original suit and modern interpretation. It still looks good, but I'm definitely gonna have to wait for actual photos and poses.

I think it looks great, I'm preparing a sacrifice to the pre-order gods as we speak so that they will let me order one.

There's a cute video too, which informs you that each figure is actually a miniature clone of Bin Furuya, be mindful of that when you order it.

So, does he come with those big fists to re enact the perspective of the Rise scene?

I didn't say it wasn't good! It's very good from a technical standpoint, it's just my preferences, is all!

If they're pulling this kind of accuracy, I want to have alternate belly and mask parts for Blade to recreate his 'modern interpretation' :lol

Double-posting, but Den-O just came in. He's so cool to look at. Seihous really are no joke. I suppose $70 is more than enough of a good price for him, right?

I only have few complaints. Some a lot more minor than others.
He's difficult to handle due to the amount of detachable parts on him, best to not use the Dengasher attachments on the belt at all.

I also recall that his red is more so a gloss red in the show than it is a metallic red, this is just largely a petty one anyway.

His form change gimmick is a bit troublesome. Separating his torso armor takes a lot more effort than Geiz Revive's and his thigh armor pops out the moment I breath on it.

Still, none of these gripes ruin it, it's pretty much 9/10 for me. I might hunt down Plat Form so I can have Ryotaro.

Edit: Wait, scratch that, I want Liner form more

Does anyone have the SHF Pac-Man that can show some pictures next to Kamen Riders?

Sure:

Looking good! Might skip this one since the Evil suit isn't my favorite, but I'm impressed the form change feature is included along with the extra accessories. Bodes well that Live could also have swappable parts, although the differences between bat and jackal are more elaborate ...

Definitely grabbing this one. Big fan of Evil and Kagerou, skipping Live though.

I do kind of think the hammer won't convert into the combined sword. Nothing in the product details states any replaceable stuff that turns the hammer into the attachment for the axe. And there's no pic of the combined sword either.

After that, waiting it out for Demons' SHF. After that, Hiromi's next form (if he gets one) and maybe Jeanne.

Yo guys I totally found this nice leak. SHF Premium Bandai ZenkaiBlack 66, 000 yen.

https://i.imgur.com/pzGB9YO.jpg

And I thought they would make the white parts of the suit black.

66,000 YEN?????????
Almost 600.00$ USD?

This can?t be right, and if it is, screw P-Bandai sideways with a rusty chainsaw

It's a joke, dude. It's a black and white pic of the Zenkaiger SHF.

It's not.

https://i.imgur.com/Qn4QhPQ.jpg

Dude, seriously, no one can tell if it’s a joke.
Bandai has some crazy prices, this could be business as usual….

...You couldn't tell the obvious photoshop? It's an easy joke.
Besides, I'd be considered a senior citizen before the prices reach that high on a regular SHF.

There is no way in hell they would jump the price of a figure using the same mold from $50 to almost $600.

There is also no way in hell that would become a standard price for this line, even your more expensive Hot Toys only reach around $550.

It was very clearly a joke.

it's just a joke, don't take everything online so seriously

In-case we really need proof this is just a joke...

It's literally a photoshop of the same stock picture.

So, P-Bandai HK apparently opened up to my country through this website, I guess. Gonna try grabbing Evil through here, reviews look legit so far.

Best case scenario is this'll be my go-to for P-Bandai pre-orders from now on, since it looks I don't need to pay much in terms of shipping, or at all.

Lucky. Meanwhile Bluefin out here joking us around

Still no news if Bluefin is carrying Kagerou? :(

Time will tell. After all, that limited edition Ichigo did sell out. Ball is in their court

Geed ver. New Gen, Belial, Zetton, and Trigger just went up for reissue pre-order on Amiami.


...Belial's already gone.

I'll have to remember this the next time I go back to Philippines.
