Oh it is actually missing a ton of paint apps. There should be some red stripes on the arm.

Well. If you had asked me before if the figure was perfect and beautiful I would have said yes. Now I can?t even look at it, lol. How could it be missing all that paint?! How could they ruin the beautiful concept of lottery and gambling with this lack of paint detail?

Oh and if you are wondering about the sword, I colored mine with a chrome marker. It will not look like that out of the box.

Both of those things you mentioned are quite a shame actually... the red lines I could probably get over (though they're certainly more major than 01's missing paint apps), but that pose hand is a bit too good to miss out on. Shame because like you say it's otherwise fucking beautiful!

SHF Upgrade showing off the progress on their first bike release.

I don't buy bikes, but it would kind of be perfectly hilarious to have the only bike I own be Hibiki's bike. Seriously considering this purchase!

WOW :o looks better than SHF bikes? and I have all of them! Okay, Kiva?s bike is badass too

Depending on the price I may consider this a purchase, I have zero doubts that Bandi will release Hibiki?s bike.

WOW that's beautiful!

Looks like we have our special repaints for the year.

As expected for Jack Revice

Just pre-ordered Aguilera on the Shopee PBandai store. V3 is still up and not sold out yet.

Depending on how good the Thundergale figuarts looks in pics or video reviews I might lean towards Jack Revice to represent the super form

Tallying up what Revice suits are left for SHF to cover and I'm realising Chimera and Daimon don't have much difference between them. I think if they did get a release they'd be one release with an alternate head, shoulders, chestpiece and cape. And of course vistamp.

Demons in hand review

And video review

He looks amazing, 2 more weeks till my Demon & Build Genius arrives

Waiting till EMS resumes until I can get Demons shipped - man this sucks.

Use DHL? To least to US, it is similar to EMS in price but way faster (2-5 days at most).

Can't wait to get mine. Hopefully within this week as shipping said that he just arrived at Manila port.

Seihou V3 is to get a second run on Premium Bandai which releases in January 2023; with pre-orders going up on July 29th 16:00 JST

Also, W re-issue releases on August 11th

Can't say the same sadly, I've been forced to use DHL for a couple of months now for retail stuff and it's hella expensive.

And I have a backlog of like 9-10 months of Web-Exclusives waiting to be shipped - I would rather not use DHL for that.

I wait another month and once Jeanne drops I'll have to do it I guess.

REALLY excited for Jeanne myself -- which I'm sure was very hard to tell :p Hope she releases early enough into the month; she's one of my most anticipated releases of the year and I can hardly wait

V3 back up on Hobby Genki

https://hobby-genki.com/en/kamen-rid...-rider-v3.html

Lol at preorders. I gave up mostly because of AmiAmi and others getting botted and all the stuff gone to scalpers. I just buy them at a lower cost than retail later

Gotta say. I wouldn't pick Demons to be the best Revice figure that I have, that goes to Evil. The form change gimmick, having a weapon and being 500 yen less than Demons makes him better in that regard. Also, he's not pointy allo ver the place.

But, Demons is the best Revice figure in my heart. The detail is amazing, and he just looks gorgeous.

That ends the Revice line for me here. Was initially tempted to get Destream too, but he doesn't or doesn't seem to be appearing much to warrant a purchase form me. Gonna cut down on Geats, too.

V3 sold out in under 5 hours AGAIN today! Hobby-Genki still has pre-orders up though, I guess they got in a fair bit of stock

I gave up on preorders too…I actually gave up with that line.

NOW LETS NOT GET CRAZY HERE 😂😂😂
Easily found almost every Rider Figuarts for less than retail/preorder price.
After 6 years of obsession, now at 562 Rider Figuarts.
And often before the preorder figures get to those who bought them from everyone EXCEPT the HK seller
But I TOTALLY get why you stopped, completely frustrating

I definitely get giving up haha. I almost did it multiple times but then
A) a desire to get all main riders between FRS and SHF
B) Revice coming out of nowhere with some of my most beloved Riders in the franchise
C) SENTAI FIGUARTS COMING BACK

Seriously got in the way! Thankfully the 'cheap main rider' thing for concurrent series means that's easy enough to go along with, and aside from that the pool of SHF Riders I want is relatively small. Excusing a Seihou Wishlist that is never going to have anything from it happen

I will probably never quit, there's so much cool stuff and the figures are only getting better and better each year, but my excitement definitely got a damper after retail releases started to sell out so fast. I can't help but feel dread whenever they announce one I really want, I can only start to get excited for them after I actually managed to order them.

It’s crazy because other lines are so easy to buy, but Figuarts have become very stressful to pre-order.

They actually seem to have gotten a bit better on that front; Revi and Vice are still in stock and I remember Saber being there for ages. It's mostly Seihous that you get screwed over on

I don't feel like it has gotten any better generally, Venom was gone in seconds like yesterday. Seems like some just get higher production runs than others.

Which isn't doing my anxiety of missing out any favors :lol

Good chance the Double figures teased for August's livestream are these new SS form change reissues. Similiar to the reiusee C/J, these will have the Fuuto PI tamashii stage and will even have effect parts

https://hobby.dengeki.com/ss/hobby/u...n-ahKWegsN.jpg

Hobby Genki's article states these will be a special bundle with the blu ray releases of Fuuto and on the webstore as well (apologies if I'm misunderstanding the translation)

https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1631145/

I believe the teased W figure for the stream was straight up said to have new modelling? Which re-releases wouldn't fall under

It would appear from this Toei Video listing, these re-issues are only part of the blu-ray bundles

https://www.toei-video.co.jp/special/fuuto/

How much you wanna bet it's FangTrigger?

Goddamnit there goes my SS budget trying to find these when they come out(slaps forehead almost wishing he wasn?t an obsessed completist) but more toys for me eventually

Yeah, a figuarts figure and a Japanese blu-ray. It is gonna be expensive. They look good, though.

New modelling? What's new?

That?s what I?m wondering about too, 16000 yen price on this one, Yayyyyyy :/

My personal guess is that it's Xtreme
