No yeah, Tamashii's social media announced preorders for a Zenkaizer reissue run going up this month so it's not Amiami having extra stock.

That's honestly a great sign if their first Sentai release in years did well enough to warrant a reissue.

Is there any difference between the shf Pandon and the shf Pandon 55th ver?

Just a shinier paint and an anniversary stand.

As expected, Shin Kamen Rider

A surprise announcement though is we will see new AGITO items at the end of this month !

I think I will pass on Shin Kamen Rider. Don't like how the design translated into figure form, the colors especially. They made little to no effort to capture the leather look. It's cool on the upper arms with the sculp but everything else seems flat.

Also, the coat is not very good looking. I appreciate the tailoring work but it looks like a kid wearing dad's jacket. Way too big and puffy.

Saved money I guess, but it's a shame, I was looking forward to this. Now I wish we would get the event exclusive Rider 1 at retail instead.

Seihou G3 let's go!

Just saw the Preban show myself, and *FINALLY* AGITO WILL NO LONGER BE ALONE ON MY SS Figuarts shelf!!! my bet is G-3 or Burning form, but I’m hopeful

I've been waiting for this to decide between the SHF and the SHF for this figure. I don't think the SHF looks good at all (the articulation looks badly outdated, just for starters), so I think that decision is made.

Excited for an Agito release, though. I'll buy pretty much whatever that is.

I’ll need to wait till I’m home for a better look, but from what’s being said here I think I’ll happily go for the FRS — the coat was the one thing swaying me so if it’s badly done, cheaper and easier-to-get option that’s also fun to build it is. Figure itself looks EXTREMELY nice though, even if not as accurate as the FRS

a Seihou G3-X would be gorgeous! And the closest thing we'll have to a Seihou metal hero. I kinda hope they do a helmetless optional head, but I have no idea if that's a license they still have after 20 years.

G3-X is the more iconic suit no?

G3-X is the one they always use for merch (it got a SHODO and a Ridewatch while G3 didn't, etc) and it's a permanent upgrade, so it would almost certainly be the one that gets made

Tsuburaya announced an Ultraman Livestream with Tamashii Nations for next month Nov 19.

https://tsuburaya-prod.com/news/5120

They are hyping up the VA for Ultraman Regulos being there. So maybe a Regulos SHF announcement and maybe Absolute Tartarus gets commercialized.

I’ve watched at least two of these tamashii/tsuburaya live streams and I enjoy it.

And it’s too bad about that Shin Kamen Rider figure. I can promise I won’t preorder it now, but there’s plenty of time for me to break that promise.

They also released hints on the website of what would be there, similar to last year:-

- Several Destined Crossroads figuarts
- 'That' Ultraman from Shin Ultraman
- More Trigger and Decker
- More Ultraseven for the 55th

Some of these raise an eyebrow to me. They've already released both Zoffy and Imitation Ultraman from Shin, so 'That' Ultraman... could surely only refer to Ultraman's silver and green forms in the movie, right? THAT would be wild. Ultraseven's 55th is also interesting -- there's of course no other Ultras from that show to make, and they have released a fair amount of Kaiju from the show. I could see them doing more iconic Kaiju like Eleking, but I also wonder if this is a hint at Seihou Ultraseven

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

Definitely Seihou Seven I think.

Eleking would be awesome though.

Come to think of it, there's actually not much to make from both Trigger and Decker, right? Trigger I'm pretty sure only has Power and Truth left; while Decker having no other Ultras means it'd just be Strong, Miracle and Dynamic to do. I could see them making Terraphaser, but I got the impression we only got Z's robots because that show was really popular (and the robots were a much more fundamental part of the show)

No, I can totally see them release Shin Ultraman's alternate colors. More like it's expected from them to release them.

Darrgon and Hudram are left on Trigger. We got Carmeara, so those ones could be next. But, I mean, they should just move on from Trigger, right? Anyone really begging for more trigger? I would buy the giants of darkness, though.

I could definitely see Terraphaser being a figuarts Decker release. Unless if some new Ultras get packed in later, or new forms for old Ultras, or something.

And for Ultraseven, I?m baffled every day that we have not gotten an Eleking SHF. Also they should just re-release Alien Metron, maybe with a pack of cigarrettes or something. Or a backdrop of a sunset. That dude is iconic!

Also, curse my love of SHF Ultraman. It just keeps hurting me by spoiling shin Ultraman.

No shade on anyone here. I want to learn about the new figures so I can preorder them. Just massive shade on all the business suit guys who refuse to let me see the movie!

THEY DID IT! HE COMES WITH THE THING!

...

sort of.

Nice!

It looks quite convincing in the close-up shot too. On a shelf it will look even better!

That's... INSANE, holy shit! Simultaneously really funny yet really effective.

Manda listings are gonna be real fun, though!

Hopefully someone shares a scan of it and we can just print it on some cardstock.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Agito Trinity and Ultraman Regulos teased on Twitter!

https://twitter.com/t_features/statu...aOvRv7sFw&s=19

https://twitter.com/t_features/statu...UmcnYeGwQ&s=19

I wonder what took them so long to finally release Trinity

Trinity I don't care about, Regulos could be cool, but I still haven't seen his part of Ultra Galaxy Fight.

Is it available with subs anywhere? On YouTube I can only find the abysmal dub version.

It's coming to DVD and Bluray later this week.

Full details have also been released of Shin Kamen Rider: 7700 Yen, accessories are just the coat and 3 pairs of alternate hands.

At the same time as he's going up for pre-order and release (November 1st and March 2023) they're also doing re-issues of Shin Ultraman and Shin Evangelion -- and a new minor redeco of Shin Godzilla, 'night combat version'

Does that release feature english subtitles?

Yeah Shin Kamen Rider is a pass for me, the coat looks bad. However, the first cloth capes they ever made were quite terrible, so they will improve in the future. But how many characters need coats? A Seihou series Ichijo maybe? :lol

Also, surprised that the other Shin-stuff is retail. I might be down for a Godzilla if pre-orders don't sell out in seconds.

It's wild that english-subbed UGF3 doesn't exist yet, because... the english subs do actually exist! They're on the english dubbed version! The just need transplanted to the japanese audio version...

So this weekend I was able to go to the Tamashii Nations store outside Akihabara

I gotta say, finding it a tad underwhelming during the livestream, seeing Shin in person made a much better impression on me

But we can all agree OG Ichigo looks amazing

Jack Revice and Flame Dragon for good measure

Wait, how does this work exactly? Do you have to cut it out from the box?

Yup, its printed on the packaging, you can cut it out and use it if you want to.

Box collectors in shambles.

Seriously though, ingenious. I applaud the development team for coming uo with this solution. An actual plastic fan might not look as good as plastic and paper products catch light differently.

You better hope you're good at cutting though, or that fan's gonna look real ugly when it's liberated from its packaging.

Nah I have a figure that comes with a molded plastic fan and it looks fine. If painted well, it'd look like a fan should.

That said, I can't fault the cheeky inclusion here. Even better, if you're open to a bit of extra customization, you can cut the fan part itself out and then use some thin strips of cardboard to make the wooden frame pieces so you don't have to deal with the permanent white spaces between the gaps.

Genius idea! We need an SS SHF of the secondary rider from Kuuga, lol. When I was watching Kuuga, I paid attention when he was wandering around and fighting monsters with only that sweet duster and a handgun.

well kinda make sense cause it's a Paper fan so instead of giving us a real plastic we need to cut the box :lol

My goodness Figuarts are just looking better and better every release! Disappointed about Trinity Form, it's an okay suit but I hope it doesn't rule out G3-X someday.

I regret not pre-ordering Momotaro but hopefully he won't be hard to acquire later.

Could you please share the address? Am in Japan so want to check it out also. Thanks

I'm taking this optimistically to mean it makes G3-X very likely -- if they had gone for say, Shining I would have thought "oh they're probably just gonna do that then; wrapping it up with just the final form". But if they're going for something as honestly quite minor as Trinity it makes me think they're going to commit to bringing back the Agito line and at least do G3-X, Gills, Burning and Shining. I just don't see why they would do Trinity instead of any of them if they weren't also going to do them, you know?

Yeah I feel the same way with Wizard coming in and doing Flame Dragon before an inevitable Final Form.

I also hope this means when they go back to Hibiki, we'll already have Kurenai and we'll get Armed!
