Yeah I'd love to know this. What's Shopee? Is it like Buyee?

Shopee has region restrictions, it mostly serves Southeast Asia and doesn't have any official way for other countries to use them.

That's not the name of the company. 4th party is a newer term that basically means "good KOs." The name of the company making this figure is currently unknown

By the way, Web-Exclusives are a fitting topic, what middleman services are good to use nowadays?

I have been happy with Anime-Export ever since NipponYasan died but the thing is they are too slow to secure stock, so many figures that sell hot will never get listed. For figures that I absolutely need I have used TokuTaku, but their markup is a bit on the higher side and they lack quality of life features like a private warehouse or bundled shipping. At least automatically, I'm sure they would do it if I asked them to.

I see HobbyGenki links being shared a lot in this thread, and friends over the net use NinNinGame.

So just for my peace of mind, if like a Seihou Web-Exclusive I absolutely need pops up, what are your go-to services these days guys?

Excluding local US-stuff, that doesn't work out for me.

I use hobbygenki to preorder my kamen rider figuarts so that I can lump a few releases (usually 4) together to save on shipping.

His price is 8-10% on top of the retailed price, for example, it is 11890 yen for SS Extreme. I usually paid 800-1000 yen per figuarts for shipping if I ship 4 together.

Extreme and Live now on display they look even better than the promo pic. Also Jeanne & Kuuga Titan just released. Pic by Ankoromochi

hobby-genki and nin-nin game are my two go-tos these days, though i know some have problems with NNG. Also just used Lunapark for the first time because I'm desperate to get Original Colours #1 but they have a significant markup so it's hard to recommend it for anything other than the whole "lay down extra money to get a guarantee on something hard to get free of stress"

You're right about Anime-Export. I've had great luck with them for retail releases, but it looks for webshop they can't always secure enough copies to meet demand. I noticed they haven't even put up listings for CJ-Extreme or Live

When I asked Hobby-Genki about their warehouse time limits, they said the only restriction is size ( 1 cubic meter ) I'm inferring this to mean how much shelf space your orders are taking up in their warehouse

Zenmarket I also like to use but only if two or more items are released in the same month. Their warehouse limit is only 45 days, but their fees are very, very reasonable (300 yen commission fee + shipping fee to their warehouse ) When I ordered Build Genius and Demons with Zenmarket, they were able to group order those two together from PB and was charged 600yen for both to ship to their warehouse.

Comparing Hobby-Genki's markup to the listings on PB (tax included), Hobby's is very comparable to the fees you would get from Zenmarket if not a little less (~500/700 from Hobby & ~900 from from Zen)

I guess we did technically have images confirming it before but this is a much more drastic height difference than I was expecting. I don't think she's quite this short in the show either?

she's the same height as Valkyrie

I see nothing wrong here. :lol

Thanks everyone, I guess I'll try HobbyGenki should a Web-Exclusive I really need come up.

Kinda sorta?

What is that Lovekov figure?

Pretty sure those are the actual suits.

Pretty sure they meant this Lovekov figure.

It's the SODO iirc.

Yup! That?s what I meant, TY but is there a Lovekov that is in scale with the SHF Jeanne?

I don't think so, there's only this and the plushies which are too big.

This was one I thought I did not need, because I don?t have any Kuuga SHFs, but dang this looks nice.

Okay now Valkyrie being that short is WAY weird...

I love reading all these posts

Jeanne looks great and look forward to having her arrive and yeah that video of KR Live does look much better in person and accurate.

To me the height is fine in person despite them appearring short in photos. I just measured my Valkyrie and she stands at 5.5in tall. I measured my KR Demons figuart and he is under 6.5 in.

The issue is they've made the males taller but seem to be keeping the females at the same scale which is hit or miss imo because some characters or actresses are taller or just as tall as some of their counterparts. I know at least to me but Sabela's actress always looked tall on-screen and towered over the other female characters and even some of the male characters.

Yeah between Zero One and Revice, the SHF have been getting taller/bigger. Height accuracy seems to be a low priority, as Kamen Rider Kenzan is also surprisingly short.

I wonder where Sabela will land. Angela Mei is actually quite tall for a Japanese actress, not to mention she wore pretty tall boots.

Also I never noticed her outfit had a slit on the thigh

The actress heights from left to right,
5'3", 5'4", 5'4", 5'1", 5'7"

Nice!

Glad to see that the female rider will get to henshin, when will this special air again?

Hhmm interesting and yeah I already knew Aguilera's actress was the shortest after seeing the Revice cast farewell photo. Mei Angela is only 5'7''?...she definitely looks taller than that like 5'8" or 5'9". I think the Zero-Two suit in general always made Izu look taller than she is personally

I just received shadow moon which is my first figuarts figure. How would you guys describe the build quality of these figure outside of the aesthetics and articulation?

I'd say really solid. As long as you keep in mind these are collector-aimed figures rather than made for kids - ie be reasonably careful with them, watch delicate small parts like antennae - there's nothing terribly wrong.

... which is kind of where I have to swerve to say about Shadow Moon specifically, he is one of three Shinkocchou Seihou SHF figures part of a thankfully short-lived experiment by Bandai to introduce soft parts; along with Kamen Rider Black and Ultraman Tiga Multi-Type. It's also thankfully not a big factor in Shadow Moon compared to the other two; only having rubbery material around his shoulders to try and give a more seamless look. You might want to be more careful around that area in particular.

I don't like having to tell you that about your first figure (assuming it -is- Shinkocchou Seihou Shadow Moon rather than his two older releases from the early 2010s which are completely different figures and don't suffer from this), but aside from that he's extremely solid and that goes for most SHFs. I've had Shadow Moon for a year with no issues and love him a lot, and I hope you do too!

Build quality is sound but the emphasis on detail means some aspects may be more fragile, such as antennae and tips of sharp points. They're not toys, but generally hold up to posing and handling.

Which Shadow Moon did you get?

I got the shinkocchou version. Honestly I’m pretty surprised by how hollow and cheap the figure feels and I’m trying to figure out if what I got is a knock off or not. It looks nice but it doesn’t feel anything like how I’d imagine a $70 figure would feel. And since this is my first figuarts I don’t have a frame of reference for how they’re supposed feel. But visually it looks legit so I figure this is just how it is

To my knowledge, a knock off of Shadow Moon does not exist, and for obvious reasons, knock-off companies tend to stay away from figures with rubbery parts.

In terms of the price, well value is going to be relative. SHF and Seihous in particular are considered some of the best figures in the industry, and often fetch ridiculous prices in the aftermarket because of this.

People love Hot Toys figures which cost anywhere from $200 to $500 a figure, and while SHF are not that level of quality, I prefer the value of an SHF by a large margin.

You have a very good point and comparison to Hot Toys, which I hope *NEVER*
makes Kamen Rider figures, all hope for my wallet would be lost

I don't have Shadowmoon yet but I do have Seiho Black, and he is similarly lightweight. I think this is actually a benefit, since it makes the figures more sustainable for certain poses. Though after collecting all the old Kuugas I do somewhat miss the metal feet, but it does result in a sharper sculpt.

You definitely have a legit one.

Medicom actually made a ton of 1/6 scale rider figures under the banner Real Action Heroes. As you might expect, they cost around the same as a Hot Toy. Not sure if the line is over because the last release was Zero-One

https://image.makewebeasy.net/makewe..._058477_19.jpg

Not really sure what qualifies as feeling dense or lightweight either, since that might be subjective.

Went to pick up my SS ShadowMoon to see if he felt really light or "hollow" but he has a tiny bit of density to him. At least to me he does.

I checked online, and RAH Zero-One was released just last year, so probably not?

The RAH line has always caught my attention but I'm not trying to go down the 1/6th scale rabbit-hole but yeah those Kamen Rider figures are a beauty just like Hot Toys

oh yeah I remember being able to see a RAH Gatack in person. It was incredible. Something about the Kabuto line translated super well to larger scales.

I think if you've only ever handled Hasbro 6" figures like Marvel Legends or Black Series then SHFs will definitely feel lightweight by comparison.
