I'm personally holding out for SHFUpgrade doing the weapons as part of their Lovekov release. If they never do either I'd be okay with it, but I'd love a to-scale figure of her and I'd ESPECIALLY love the Scythe...

That's surprising to me because it's less than I would have guessed -- BBTS always lists Preban exclusives for about double the original asking price

Amazing BBTS is one of my avoid-stores.. because I can ALWAYS find it cheaper somewhere else 🙄

Lunapark also appears to have Wizard pre-orders in stock for 11500

Finally decided to pick up Zangetsu after all these years so I have the "main four" Gaim Figuarts. I even have the little base with their symbols. This suit is just plain gorgeous.

I'm debating though... I always wanted to fully collect Arms Change, but the Gaim suits are so good in Figuarts I might just continue collecting these. :D

GET THEM ALL BWAHAHAHAHAH
Seriously, I just finished the Gaim line, and Zangetsu was the last.. great looking figures!!

Thanks everyone for the heads-up on where to find some pre-orders on Wizard still. The one at Luna Park seems to be the most reasonable one in terms of price so I'll probably just get my copy from there. Is that a pretty good site? I hadn't heard of it until now.

I?ve used them for pre-order (on the super-rare occasions I think I won?t be able to find easy/cheaper) three times so far. Kept me informed the whole way.

At this point I'm just accepting I missed out on Wizard and praying they announce Water Style before too long.

Of course if they do, watch that share a release month with a certain other water-empowered hero I'm waiting for to be released.

I still seethe over the figures we never got. That being said a full lineup looks great and is probably one of the more affordable casts to assemble... except for Kachidoki and especially Kiwami.

Kachidoki I understand, but I never got why Kiwami was so popular on the aftermarket given how many issues it has.

Because it?s a Final Form.

I suppose that's true. If people are going to limit their collecting it's usually the base and final that they keep.

Yeah, I noticed this as I got really inyo collecting these things- Base, Final and everything else afterwards seems to be the curve in this genre?as I currently look for a decently priced Drive Type Tridoron Standard and Tire Kamikaze set

Yeah, can confirm. When I was limiting my collecting I literally just stuck to main rider's base form and final form as the 2 a year or so I would allow myself - So I was very much part of the problem haha

There's been three times I've gotten a Figuarts of a Rider that wasn't a base or final form: Great Cross-Z, because I couldn't get normal Cross-Z for a good price at the time; RabbitRabbit, because I considered that Build's final form at the time; and Seihou Ratoratah... because I needed a replacement set of Tora arms after my Tatoba's broke.

I ended up selling the first two, and I'm considering selling the latter now I have actual third party replacement elbows

Though, I guess Tajador and Cross-ZBuild also aren't actual official 'final forms', but they fit the same role and it is the reason I have them.

And Nobunaga was a mean, stylish sonuvabitch.

But mostly because it's a Final Form.

Good luck with that. Type Tridoron has pretty much held at the same outrageous price point since release and hasn't budged since.

Aside from Flame Dragon, next week we're to see a 01 Figuart revealed! No movie specified so going by what's left from the series it should be either Rampage Gatling or Ark-One. Or Ark-Scorpion but I don't think they'd reveal that before One

https://i.imgur.com/cqKZXRu.png

For unreleased prototypes we have Azu and Lone Wolf still, could be either of those.

Although I would wish to see something new, especially Ark-One.

When it's been a form from a movie, though, they have specifically used that movie's logo -- when we were getting Espada's V-Cin form, the logo they used was Trio of Sin's. So I doubt it's anything from 01hers (or REALxTIME for that matter).

Could be Azu, but I feel like she'd be done through an extra head included in another release. Like Ark-One...

Hoping to be Rampage or Ark-One as the reveal and yes please chill on the v-cinema stuff because it's hilarious how we're still bouncing between the Zero-One and Saber lines. While in the midst of the Revice line and Geats soon to be knocking on the door.

I'm wondering why Aguilera's shown too, but I assume it's a product show-off.

Would be slick if they used her to also tease Over-Demons.

Same here. I thought for a few seconds but realize I have also preordered her.

Wait- MORE Zero-One stuff??? Holy cow, how popular IS this series?
I’m not complaining, I’m a fan, but this is in Build territory now

Look like seihou W got a bootleg

The description didn?t see anything about a new Revice reveal but I did find it odd myself. Would be nice if they finally went back to an average of 3 preban releases a month rather than two. If they ARE revealing a new Revice figure my bets are on Vail

It?s bc since Ex-Aid each series has had like 4 billion suits to cover aside from Zi-O. This is simply it starting to finish off the major suits.

Unless - they reveal two figures, one from the show and the movies each, so they have to use a generic logo ;)

Didn't she have her own title card on display though? Seems to be a separate release. I'm not happy about it either, but I don't think they'll just throw in her head and hands with someone else.

They can chill after releasing Lone Wolf. Kamen Rider Zaia I can live without, but since I have Metsubojinrai and Serval Tiger I need Vulcan's V-Cinema form too.

No Over-Demons please! Give me Vail instead.

Yeah, there's a "4th Party" Bootleg going around. I've seen it and it's actually pretty good for $40.

Kind of crazy to think how Seihous were originally around $50 when they first came out.

Whaaaaa
Going in my Bootleg File.
These wacky guys

Kind of chuckling at toei/bandai fucking the figuarts team over by making so many ding dang riders.

Would absolutely not mind! The quicker I can get ZAIA and Lone Wolf the better

Maybe it's Dark Aguilera from Girls Remix.

But god, I really hope it's KR Vail or Destream (I feel like Crimson Vail would be a very 'too soon' repaint of Jack Revice and they'll wait for some time to release him like they did with Metal Build).

Really hope that we'll get RampageVulcan. A might-have for me.

I checked the Tamashii site and looks like Aguillera orders are closing soon. They probably want to show it off and get some last minute reservations

As for a new Zero-One, would be great to see Rampage. Grand Zi-O showed us how small and intricate sculpting they can pull off. But hey, don't sleep on Ark-Scorpion since it would be a repaint/retool of the past Ichigata figure

Ark-Scorpion I'm just assuming wouldn't happen until after Ark-One. Unless they decided to reveal both at once, which given the nature of them would make sense

Windom going up for pre-order today! The figure comes with a bunch of stuff -- a replacement neck piece for the cockpit; alternate fists; four missile-firing effects, two whirlwind things for the hands and even a Yoko Impact hand. Seriously packed for something that didn't need to be

I really love how seamless Windom looks, he really looks great.

Now give me Ultraroid Zero to really round out all the STORAGE bots, I'll absolutely buy one.

My seihou Kuuga got loose thighs joint especially the left side after a few month even though i leave him on display and never posing. Anyone has the same problem ? i got 50th ver btw

Cross-posting from Geats Merch because I feel it's pretty relevant -- RCF figures more or less scale with SHF!

https://i.imgur.com/yT4XSkl.png

He fits in perfectly, if you don't mind the feet-hands and hand-feet.

Ooooh cool! Big fan of the gimmick figures scaling with SHF for the forms SHF don't do

Wow I had no idea it was that big. I just assumed it was RKF size. That's pretty cool!

Just goes to show how out of the loop with KR I am, as I remember when the gimmick line was always the same scale as SHFs, like during Gaim.
