Cyclone Joker Extreme Seihou would be appreciated for me because I'm all for Final Forms.

I'm a bit salty another Revice form/character gets pushed before Live but I understand Aguilera's early popularity

So I guess we won't have any Tamashii showcase exclusives for the Saber line so Primitive Dragon will probably just be a web exclusive release

Very much thinking next month's will be Live and W Xtreme. That works out for me because the only SHFs left I want (aside from new Main Riders) are from Showa and 01 and this month has turned out quite expensive thanks to today, so I'm happy to get a break!

Given btw that both of these announcements were from the S.H. Figuarts Party event at the Tamashii Store opening (both a surprising new reveal there and something previously revealed that got highlighted again), I'm guessing it won't be too long until we get Primitive Dragon, Twokaiser and Windom announcements. I just wonder if Twokaiser will be retail or not...

Wait a second. Aguilera's release means we finally get a Figuarts representation of the Ichigo Kunai!

Ahh more fantastic Rider Figuarts for the Great Wall of SHF that I will somehow find a way to afford
MUWAHAHA GONNA CATCH THEM ALL MUWAHAHA

For someone who love to collect female rider this is a win for me but i think i'm gonna skip Aguilera and wait for Destream, one of the best design from Revice along with Demons

New W figures huh? I really wish they could do renewal Accel Trial, but realistically it's gonna be something from the new show

They still have that Nasca prototype lying around somewhere, don't they?

Kamen Rider Aguilera is up at tokullectibles. No sign of V3 yet.

I like it as a figure. I’ve gotten used to the design, I guess.

Edit: Whoa! I am stupid. The face is the bee stinger, the little (tiara?) on the head is the bee’s upper body? Haha. Did not get that until now. This is why you have to make figures, Bandai. Dummies like me will never appreciate the designs

You might have to start contacting Guinness for a potential certificatied collection wall

V3 is up now

Honestly with Yen so weak now, it is like 16000+ yen which is twice the retail price. It will definitely be much cheaper even if you have DHL service when buy from Japanese website.

Anyone know when/if Aguilera will be up for preorder on any of the other import sites?

EDIT: Looks like she drops on P-Bandai at 3PM today in Japan (11PM PST, where I am). I've never ordered an online exclusive... will she show up on like, AmiAmi and HLJ? Or will I have to use another importer? It doesn't look like buying on P-Bandai in the USA is an option... or am I just ignorant? :lol

EDIT EDIT: Did some research, and this seems to be quite the hornets nest, huh? So what I'm planning to do is use Hobby Genki. Seems like they're a reliable site, and I can order her right now. Unless y'all tell me this is a bad idea. :lol

I've ordered from Hobby Genki before and didn't have an issue. You could also try anime-export or Zenmarket, although the latter just takes a couple more steps

P-Bandai figures are never made available on the US site, so you gotta use an importer. AmiAmi and HLJ only do retail figures, but AmiAmi has a rotating selection of pre-owned P-Bandai releases

Hobby Genki has it alive https://hobby-genki.com/en/kamen-rid...ee-genome.html

But V3 is ?sold out? ?!

I think it's the early window, since its not 3pm in Japan yet when the PB orders actually open

My order is in! Thank you for the confirmation that I didn't just throw away $77. :lol

Also, so glad I was able to save like $40 compared to Tokullectibles.

And now that you mention it, I have used Anime Export in the past. I got my SS Ixa from them. I'll remember them for the future.

I've managed to pre-order both on Hobby-Genki myself. Pretty excited for both!

This upcoming half a year is looking to be pretty great if you're a collector of Reiwa girls -- Jeanne in August, Sabela in November, Izu 02 in December and Aguilera in January. I've got pre-orders for all but Sabela and I'm very excited for all three!

They actually HAVE THAT????
I?m amazed

Tokullectibles is EXPENSIVE AS FUUUUUUU
Well, after perusing their website, I?ve come to a quick conclusion:
NO THANKS SIR
Will buy cheaper from someone more reasonable and not so Scalpery?..

Hobby Genki has come through on the RARE occasions that I preorder

Hope Bandai still had that Ichigo Arms Gaim prototype lying around for Aguilera's weapons lol

Did you preorder v3 today? So it is really ?sold out??

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it was a listing set up before the orders officially begin at premium bandai. I would guess the preorder slots will open again once the official preorders start.

It was alive for a few minutes around 12:40 am PST. Look like it is pretty popular.

I'm not sure but who knows...maybe you'll be the first

V3 /is/ a Main Rider after all, this is why I was surprised he was Premium Bandai! I... still don't think he should be! But yes, he seems out of stock now while Aguilera is still there (on Hobby-Genki at least). Sometimes preban products this popular get second runs so hopefully it'll be the case with V3 here

I don’t get the decision either, especially since everything Seihou gets scalped anyhow. Freakin’ Dark Kiva sold like hotcakes, why not put V3 out at retail as well? Makes little to no sense to me.

All previous Showa Seihou's did super well too from what I’ve seen.

Aaaand V3 is now sold out on Premium Bandai! That's, what, 5 and a half hours? Possibly less? That's got to be some kind of record, right??

Tajador Eternity also sold out incredibly fast (both runs!)

Second production run on V3 is definitely coming

I think the Ultraman Z stuff sold out within hours as well.

I hate P-Bandai SO MUCH right now (slaps forehead with palm stopping all cognitive functions for rest of day) ahhh wells hopefully I’ll be done catching up to them all by the time V-3 is released…

~5 hours is still so much better than the walmart and target exclusives that sell out in minutes

Like... Tamashii retail releases? :lol

May be it is only me, but with respect to General release, I never have luck in preordering with any of the sites that I use (amiami, Hobby Genki) as all of them were out of stock before I can even see the listing. I have to look around to secure any Japanese stock.

I have no problem of preordering any P-Bandai exclusives with Hobby Genki though.

Aaaaand that's why I stopped buying SHF Kamen Rider, it's too much of a hassle to buy...

I do wonder if V3 selling out so quickly and so easily will signal to Bandai that it is safe to sell SHF Showa Riders at retail other than #1 and Black. Then again I find myself saying the same thing any time a transformation device belonging to a female rider has no problem selling...

By the way, can I ask if Saber's Ichiban Kuji transparent version has any missing paint compared to the normal release; like some minor areas on 01? Or any missing hands for that matter? I otherwise don't mind whether his red sections are clear or not, so if there's no significant differences it'd be a matter of whichever one is at the time cheaper and/or at the Mandarake store I'm buying another thing from

Take a look at mine. I actually do not have a normal one to compare it to, but google shows all the orange paint he is missing on his arm.

Let me know if you need other angles. I personally like it. Looks like his arm is just made of fire.

Sorry about the sideways pics.

Oh and the lottery one does not come with his signature pose hands. The little two fingers curled up pose.
