I own SS Eternal, I would be ecstatic for him to get a reissue so that others, including a good friend of mine, could get him too.

I'd probably rebuy Kuuga Ultimate, I hated having to sell him. Wanting old figures to stay hard to get and expensive is such a dumb mindset.

Thanks, and yea, really really hoping that reissues become more of a thing for P-Bandai stuff too.

Yea, it's like, the most consumer-friendly thing to do. The only ones that ever benefit from keeping it hard to get/find and pricey are the people who resell them for exorbitantly high prices, not the company selling them.

Really excited for CJX. I don't really like the design but I love the character enough that I'll probably end up preordering it.

I have to admit I'm really considering Wizard myself. For most of my main Rider collection I've gone with FRS and have only gone to SHF for ones FRS isn't doing (mainly spinoffs), my favourites like Kuuga and OOO that I want to splurge for, and Build-onwards due to how comparative the prices are (plus FRS isn't doing Reiwa right now anyway). Otherwise I find that FRS' versions of the main Riders are either as good as what I'd get out of Figuarts if not even better in some cases (I prefer how FRS does Den-O's armour, you've got stuff like W's form changes and swappable Decadrivers) that I don't feel like I'm missing out. And, well, FRS being as affordable and available as it is is why I'm even doing a main rider collection because there's no way I'm spending that much money, time and stress on Figuarts for all of them.

Wizard though... is the exception. I'm sure that however FRS does him he will be good, but there's a good case for the Seihou being one of the best SHFs ever made and with its variety of features or even just the wired cape alone, I can't imagine there being anything less than a massive gulf between that and however the FRS turns out. Every single image I see of this thing is sheer beauty and a re-issue (ie a version I haven't immediately discarded from consideration due to a 14,000 yen pricetag) is suddenly having me tempted

Seihou Wizard is indeed one of the most beautiful Figuarts, if not action figures, ever made. Metallic parts, clear parts, fabrics parts, minute detail, extreme posability... you want to show someone how far figures have come, Wizard is one of the single figures you can easily do that with.

For non-Kamen Rider fans, I believe he stands out really well among costume designs that seek to blend fantasy and future.

Indeed I was hoping we didn't see a Seihou re-release until I we saw what the FRS could bring to the table, but I'm glad this figure is getting a re-release. It's too good to stay in the aftermarket.

I second that about the Wizard Seihou it is indeed a beautifully designed figure that imo stands out in any collection but at the same time fits in with any toyline. The wired cloth allows for some very dynamic poses just as seen in the show and I truly believe Bandai righted a wrong that was the original KR Wizard figuart with those terrible proportions.


The KR FRS line is definitely welcomed and appreciated and if it was around during the time I was getting into Kamen Rider figuarts I'd probably opted to go that route but then again figuarts WERE the price of FRS back then. In general I'm happy it gives fans an opportunity to start up a nice looking collection without breaking the bank and yes the line keeps getting better and better with closing the gap somewhat on looking very similar to figuarts. Scale aside of course.

Extreme is up at https://hobby-genki.com/en/kamen-rid...er-xtreme.html

Was browsing Manda and I guess she came out when I wasn't looking??

Well that's... Weird. Her official release date was the 19th so literally '"today" right now in Japan. Someone offloaded her fast lol.

Finaly back to collect KR figuarts after a long time remission. Just pre-order the today new Figuarts.

I believe Manda do their own pre-orders. I've just never seen them put up a new one so fast

I loved when these three (four?) first came together

I don't understand why some people are complaining about SS re-issues. It gives collectors that missed the first time another chance to get the figure at SRP / not overpriced aftermarket prices. Not everybody has instant cash to spend on figures all the time.

I for one would like re-issues for some of the SS that I missed the first time. Skull, Eternal, Ibuki, Zanki, Kick/Punch Hopper etc.

Is Live a regular retail release or Pbandai store exclusive like Jeanne?

PB. Very doubtful we get another retail Revice release at this point in time. Usually we get only two retail but this show is pretty much over

The way I read the Wizard comment was that a person who buys all Kamen Rider SHFs will be compelled to buy the rereleases as well. This could be read as Bandai milking their completionist fans selling them the same figure multiple times.

I don’t consider myself a completionist, and I hope that preorder for the Wizard reissue is plentiful. When I first started looking in to SHFs about a year ago, I saw that wired skirt/cloak thing and it blew my mind. So cool. Also for some reason I have Kamen Rider Beast, so I can have another figure from that show.

And thanks for the Hobby-Genki links. I got that double final form preordered. I’ve been enjoying Fuuto-Pi.

That group shot looks great and look forward to seeing them together and yeah it reminds me of simpler times during Revice before it became everybody gets to be a Rider.

Don't stress over those bothered by these reissues for whatever reason because I'm glad these companies are starting to do it and more often now...the same with event exclusives. If there's still money to be made why not capitalize on it instead of having it go to the aftermarket.

I don't mind the aftermarket at times when stuff is reasonably priced but let's be real for years now people have been outrageously pricing stuff and know darn well it's not gonna sell and if it does or did well good for them. Ebay has become ridiculous and will with overpriced listings.

I'd rather see fans who either missed out due to not knowing of figuarts or imports, just got into Kamen Rider, and/or thinking overpaying is the only means get a fair chance to own these items because at the end of the day we're Collectors who enjoy Kamen Rider.

Never purchased a figure off Amazon. Would this be safe to get or could there be a chance of this being a bootleg?

https://www.amazon.com/Tamashi-Natio...75076799&psc=1

I saw it as that as well in regards to filling the need to buy the same thing again but why when it might be the same exact item but different packaging? In that case they should just buy the box then because rereleases like the Decade anniversary version is literally the same figure and accessories from the prior release with the inclusion of a stand and different box art. I personally feel you're not missing out on anything if you have the original release unless it's damaged or faded or something that plagued those releases.

It's from the Tamashii Nations store so it should be solid.

I guess nothing?s for sure, but I would say with 99% confidence that if amazon is selling it and fulfilling it, then you are good to go. That should be legit.

Like Talisman said it's being sold directly from the Tamashii Nations store and has other retail North American releases for sale such as Revi and Vice as well as other characters. I believe it's the revamped Bluefin page which merged with Tamashii awhile back.

Now to play the game of "when will HLJ get theirs up and will I be awake in time to actually get one?"

Ah ok wasn?t sure because that page also has listings from third party sellers on there

Since when does HLJ sell PB figures ?

Amazon lets third parties put up listings on a lot of pages. if you bought one of those specific listings, then you would be taking a chance on maybe getting a fake. But the one you sent said shipped from and sold by amazon, so you should be good.

That's a pretty good price to pay for Shadow Moon too for free shipping, wow...!

Wait, CJX is PB?

Awwww man. :(

Always remember to look for the P-Bandai logo on the official announcement images.

My problem is I'm conditioned to see the PB logo for their model kits, not the Tamashii Web logo.

At this point what isn't a fuckin' exclusive? :(

Main + sometimes secondary Rider base forms for each season. That's about it.

This is the darkest timeline.

Such is how things evolve.

Ghost had the primary, secondary and two main upgrades releases domestically and they didn't sell well.

Build had the primary and first antagonist and the latter isn't very sought after nowadays.

Zi-O had the primary, secondary and tertiary released domestically and they didn't exactly go flying either, despite still fetching retail plus nowadays for some of them.

At this point Bandai already knows that P-Bandai releases target the line supporters and collectors specifically with made-to-order runs that won't sit on shelves long after their release. The upside is they tend to be easier to get a hold of depending on where you shop and if they get waves of preorders (Ex: Tokullectibles puts up a new P-Bandai listing, it sells out a little while after, they may reopen preorders a few days later when they secure more units). The downside is that if you miss the window, depending on the character or series it could become hard to track down for a reasonable price. (SS Eternal, Ultimate Kuuga, Hyper Kabuto, SHF Horobi and Valkyrie, etc.)

Will HLJ be cheaper?

I wouldn't hate PB/TW so much if they actually offered their service to Canadians.

In other news, I got all my Kuugas on their shelf, only to find it was a bit cramped and there was a nasty paint smudge on it:

So I swapped it out and now they look a lot more comfortable:

Sorry about the pic quality. :x

Well, since we're talking about Seihou, it's worth noting that they get a little better off in retail than mainline SHF. To look at some more recent lines; OOO got Tatoba, Tajador and Ankh Arm while Kiva got Base Kiva and Dark Kiva. Much like mainline, though, retail releases tend towards the start of the line.

Also worth noting that just about everything revealed in the Preban Z stream is Premium Bandai exclusive, as the name might suggest. Black Sun is of course an exception, but that was clearly to shill for said series. I expect we'll see a similar Shin Kamen Rider stream in a few months

Oh good. I'm ok with it Pbandai for me. I'll just wait for Live to come up and pre-order him directly from them. With the official PBandai store in Shopee, I don't need to go thru any middlemen or resellers now.

Oh, he's already up for pre-order. 🤣🤣🤣

... wait, what?! Can you guide me through this, this sounds awesome!

HLJ only sells mass retail releases. CJ Extreme and Live are exclusive to premium bandai, or a middleman buying it for you
