I would, however, fight ONE whole round with SUPERLEK to get a Desast Figuarts. I love that character

Well... to look at it another way, what's the other major/likely Saber suits to release aside from Falchion?

- Primitive Dragon
- Xross Saber
- Blades Tategami
- Durandal
- Storious

There's also Elemental Dragon, Blades Daisenki and Solomon but I seriously doubt those at this point -- and not things that would take priority over Falchion, I think. So there's not a lot from Saber to release aside from Falchion is what I'm getting at

Well we know prototypes for Primitive and Durandel exist, so it feels like a matter of time until those go into production. Heck, Espada’s V-Cin figure is getting released soon and that suit is a Primitive repaint.

Agreed, Saber isn't a popular series. Even I got a bit fed up with it when it aired.

But the designs hit all the right spots for me which is why I say that while I wish Falchion can be released, I can understand it not happening. Honestly, it's kind of a miracle we already got the main swordsmen in the first place.

And Saber sold really well in China, but I saw the quality of their entertainment so I'm not exactly sure if I should be impressed or not.

Yeah, Primitive and Durandal are imo guaranteed (as are Xross and Tategami); it's just a matter of time. Primitive is a really funny one to me given how much promotion it's gotten despite A) how honestly minor it was at the end of the day and B) how long it's gone without any actual release date

I love SHF speculation ��������

Primitive, Durandal and Speedy Diego are instant buys for me, I?m okay with waiting as it?s good for my wallet lolz. Though I am concerned about Xross and Tategami, what are the chances we?ll get those figures in the near future when I feel Giffard Rex will come out before them?

I haven't picked up any of the main Reiwa riders yet (except for Zero-One which I eventually traded away), but I'm really interested in Geats. I wonder when we can expect it.

Hopefully we also eventually get an Entry Form with multiple heads of the "contestants".

The Geats line is gonna be interesting because I'm curious and assuming they'll release Geats in his Magnum/Boost form instead of just Magnum. I'm expecting the release schedule to be the same way Revi and Vice was.

If Tycoon is the second retail release (and granted, it could be Buffa), it'll be pretty funny because it'll mean there's only 1-2 months between Revice's secondary and Geats' secondary releasing

Just gonna say - switching out lower and upper body part is not beneath them anymore.

What speaks against this theory is that the main Rider needs to be dirt cheap at retail so it's probably just Boost & Magnum yeah.

The thought that crossed my mind though is what they would've done with this show like 9 years ago. They probably would've released every single form as its own figure. Every. Single. One. :lol

You would've had 4 different Geats to start, and then everyone in their base form plus very form change, and that's only the first handful of episodes covered :lol

They released around the same timeframe most main Riders were IIRC, but they were announced very late. I wonder if the same will happen with Geats.

Lol tell us about it lol and every form would of been retail probably

I think the amount of time it has taken so far for Rampage to even be teased suggests that Xross and Tategami will not be launching any time soon. I wouldn't be shocked if they quietly stopped at Primitive.

I would definitely be interested in an Entry Form set! They did it for Metal Build, so why not.

Yes! And you would have special stands and slews of accessories and... man I'm getting nostalgic.

I shouldn't though, the figures look and articulate 100x times better nowadays, that's ultimately what counts more for me.

It has become more and more apparent that final forms with their intricacy that demands a higher price point is something that needs a long time to be figured out properly. They were a bit transparent with that when Build Genius finally went up, and since then I can kind of understand the wait.

Same. Maybe a "standard" Geats for retail and an Entry Form with swappable Boost & Magnum armor for PB? Although the tooling would be insane either way since you can't just make two different Geats altogether.

I don't see them quitting on the Saber line at all. I know some people didn't enjoy the series but the suit designs were all instant hits imo and have translated well to figuarts form. I am a bit disappointed we haven't already had at least Primitive Dragon released by now or confirmed. I know and understand why they rushed out the Espada Arabina Night figuart but they could of annouced both since the mold exists.

I definitely feel they should bring back effect sets or more universal effect parts again. I agree about appreciating how detailed and better proportioned and articulated modern figuarts have become in the main line.

Final form releases have been broadly consistent with one a year for the last few years, just Genius and Grand were swapped in order (I always assumed, based on no real evidence, that this was for anniversary reasons).

Reiwa final forms have so far been less shiny and elaborate than late Heisei - I think the issue now is more that there are just too many riders and forms.

Yeah, I was wondering if they'd do anything for Geats' forms but then I realised the main rider base form pricepoint. I'm not expecting anything impressive but I would like to be surprised

Revice base form was so much better than Saber. I feel like Bandai learned their lesson there. The primary rider Figuart needs to absolutely wow people and hit with that intro pricepoint.

Geats is a great design and nothing overly complex (single color hands, 1 tampoprint max, no tiny gimmick) but the gun does seem essential and we also have the heated exhaust pipes and wrist gun gimmicks.

Possibly make the Raise buckles removable?

Preorder is up

Oh wait. Lone Wolf isn't going to have any trigger/Holding Stuff hands is he.

*sighs* Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

His accessory loadout is kind of tragic -- two pairs of alternate hands. Which gives him a total of fists, 'open' hands (the kind he uses for most his poes), and karate chop-ish hands

Wwwooowww so beautiful and love that comparison shot

And due to the design of the suit you can't really use previous Vulcans to cover for that.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. Probably gonna sit Lone Wolf out then...

Don't blame you. My Jeanne came in recently and I was really disappointed by how she couldn't hold the Revislasher or even her ViStamps :( I know these figures are first and foremost about capturing specific on-screen moments, but with just a couple extra hand options they could be so much more fun

Luckily I actually hate Lone Wolf because of what it represents (a terrible movie and I also don't think the suit is that nice) and I'd much rather have Rampage instead.

I miss when they came with enough that you could use them for more general posing and "play" rather than specific moments...

One step forward, two steps back I guess.

I like the sharpness of the design and color contrast. I haven't seen the movie yet... or anything past E20.

So Shishioh.info got their review of Espada Arabiana Night out, and honestly it's kinda making me regret not springing to get him. Though I hope that we'll get Durandal, Saber Primitive and Elemental Primitive Dragon (and Xross Saber which is a bigger long shot), and Blades' King Lion Daisenki and Tategami Hyojuusenki soon. Would be interesting to see if we get Falchion, Solomon, and especially Storious.

SERIOUSLY DOUBT any of those except Primitive Dragon and Durendal to be made.
Saber is not that well liked in Japan, as say, Zero-One,SHF toy-wise it?s the KR Ghost of Reiwa SHF. Ghost had like, 8 releases including the bike, the least amount of Figures for a Heisei SHF. I could be wrong, but based on the almost IMMEDIATE drop in prices on the aftermarket for most Saber SHF, I don?t think that?s happening. Storious??? Seriously ain?t happening. Wishful thinking about Saber doing well

Looking at those photos the figure looks great however it just makes me want Primitive Dragon more. I love Arabiana Night's color scheme but still not sold on the Primitive Dragon mold being used.

... Sorry for wanting/hoping that we'll get some other Saber figures because I personally liked it, and for thinking that at least Blades's only other two forms and Saber's super and final form had a chance at least. Like I already know that Storious was a long shot, so cool it. All I said was that it would be interesting to see, NOT that I was expecting or hoping it would be (because I'm pretty sure that there's a clear divide between what I hoped for would be made and what I thought would be interesting to see).

I already KNOW that Saber isn't a popular season, won't stop me from wanting to see other SHFs get made. And besides, I think that Elemental Primitive Dragon has at the very least a good chance compared to the other ones since it's Saber's Super Form. Xross Saber might be an 'eventually' someday, considering other Final Forms have released long after their seasons like Build Genius or Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer.

Though speaking on Saber's popularity, is there a ratings chart that compares Revice and Saber to past seasons out already? I know from internet reaction that Revice and Saber aren't popular, but I'm curious as to how it holds up to past seasons.

It really is a miracle we're getting the main swordsmen at all to be honest (Durandal has to be made considering all the promotional shots we saw at Tamashii Nations when it debuted). Like I said before, I would like Falchion to be turned into a Figuart as well, but I know that's most likely not gonna happen. I'm happy enough with what we got though.

Also, those price drops is a win for me. You guys don't want 'em? I'll take 'em.

THIS exactly. I?m enjoying the price dropping like flies on these figures, because it?s not going to last forever. Have a feeling Geats will be coming in HOT unlike Revice or Saber. Since I?m collecting EVERYTHING Rider SHF, I have gotten really lucky on these and the Yen vs USD conversion rates

EXCEPT those damn Acrylic Logos, I don?t know how MANY of them exist nor can I find a List of how many there are- frustration for moi

I definitely feel doubt that Daisenki and Elemental would release, but I certainly do think the Final Forms are a lock. While it takes ages to get them they haven't skipped any since Mugen.

https://bandai-fashion.jp/collaborat...les_status=ALL

This only goes back so far, but it does list all the Acrylic Logos in release order

Xross Saber might take a bit longer to release (I'll give it two decades or so) because of the intricate paintwork it'll need.

Oh for sure! They drag their heels on Final Forms to begin with, but Xross especially is gonna be... interesting both how long it takes and how it actually turns out. I don't envy the production team one bit

Let's keep in mind that it's the less popular SOL rider figuarts that are dropping in price but Espada, Caliber, and Dragonic Knight have maintained their prices steadily. I'll never understand how or why Jaou Dragon dropped in value so instantly and X-swordsman's design may not appeal to everybody
