Completely baffled by how the CLAWs set justifies a 8,800 Yen pricetag. The crane arm comes with a rope like Riderman and the set comes with Date's milk can, but... but what???

Rest assured

Guess I have to get used to checking those pages now haha. Awesome!

CLAWS doesn't say that it'll be in the US, so would still need to middleman that... Can't decide if I want it still.

So far the US releases have just been the standard SHF line for cocurrent releases (Geats and BLACK SUN). And even then they've been a bit inconsistent. So I'd be surprised if they started putting out Seihous with the CLAWs attachments of all things -- but hey, you can never tell with Rider in the west...

The long awaited Seihou Faiz! Such an awesome suit and one I'm sure will be a high mark for the line.

I never thought Seihou would be big on gimmicks and accessories but with Claws coming, I have to wonder if we'll get Auto Vajin.

Well we did get Seihou TaToBa in the US, so there's a small glimmer of hope, especially with more releases in general coming to the US.

Tycoon, the CLAWs set, and Seihou Rising Dragon Kuuga are all now up for pre-order on Tokullectibles.

We’ve gotten most of the retail SS figures brought over I believe, maybe not the anniversary sets but I’m not sure.

I hope Faiz is brought over as well because that will be a bloodbath to get

Faiz is REALLY cool to see; he looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm going to guess the other two retail releases will be Axel and Kaixa; with Blaster, Delta and Auto Vajin going to webshop. Would be cool if they did Horse/Wolf and the two movie riders...

As a side note, jack revice seems sold out but zenkaizer still available

Man, Faiz - the figure looks cool. But I despise the show.

So... I will try the pre-order gacha, for the main Rider display, but at least I won't be mad if I miss out I guess.

Yeah that's some bullshit. Half of that would've been expensive yet somewhat understandable, but this? Hell no.

Easy pass, maybe I can pick one up used in a few years for cheap, if not, no big deal.

Interesting. I don't even know what I would want.

My issue is that anything older than couple of years can look ancient at this point. It will be fun to see which one wins though.

Doubt Claws will be hard to find on the aftermarket if it ends up like the Beast Mantles. It'll more than likely pop up on secondary periodically.

I don't need it complete either, I saw the Beast Mantles for super cheap a few weeks ago because one was broken, a CLAWs-set without like Cutter Wing or Caterpillar Leg wouldn't even be an issue for me.

That's another reason why I can't buy this set without regret, I would never even use most of its contents in a display, it would all end up in a drawer.

So are we expecting them to go live tonight at hobbygenki? how about Faiz?

Faiz won't go up this soon.

"More info" will be released next Thursday, that's most likely when we'll get the actual pre-order date.

Keep in mind that product re-issue thing isn’t noted for rider/toku specifically. I wouldn’t be surprised if no toku figures made it through that vote in lieu of marvel, star wars etc

Best case is each best-selling category gets a voting list. Toku gets one, Marvel gets one, Star Wars gets one, Misc. gets one to cover smaller subline runs etc.

If not, I don't see Marvel getting any vote-shifting choices outside of like...Rocket Raccoon or PS4 Spider-Man. Most other releases float around on the aftermarket fairly readily.

Star Wars could end up with some stuff, but even that sub-line doesn't have much that's really desired enough for another run from what I've seen. Could be wrong, though.

Very excited for Faiz. Only downside is that basically means no SHFSS Ryuki for a while.

Man they are really committed to completing the Kuuga Seihou line asap with these fairly quick reveals at events and release confirmations for the most part imo. At this point they should do reissues for his Rising Mighty forms lol

When they did the non-rising versions they very quickly followed up Dragon with Pegasus, so I wonder if that might be the same case here. They took a weirdly long time to do Titan though

Yeah Titan was the longest to be constantly showed off and finally confirmed but not too long after they revealed the Rising forms lol and all I'm asking for is the OOO line to be completed.

Sidenote I wonder the reason we haven't gotten a seihou Ryuki yet is because they plan on redoing Dragredder as well.

I'll admit when I first saw the teaser photo of the Seihou Faiz I thought it was the FRS version and I feel both him and Ryuki's FRS releases look spot on and almost 1:1 suit to figure translation

FRS sets a surprisingly high bar sometimes. I personally always find though that Seihou surpasses it in many ways

Oh for sure which is why I would like to see more photos of that new Faiz to compare because I know scale aside but both the FRS of Faiz and Ryuki compared to their current outdated figuarts are a major improvement and almost look like figuarts.

I def feel imo those two are a highlight of how improved FRS has become or taken themselves serious out of all the releases they've done. The same for the recent FRS Blade as well which has me excited for when he gets the renewal treatment

Wholeheartedly agree, FRS Faiz is a fantastic figure and is jam packed with accessories. SS has a lot to live up to

I had to a double take to see if that was the same photo of the seihou Faiz teaser lol

Birth next to TaToBa at Tamashii Store Tokyo

US P-Bandai listing for Tycoon. Will open up soon.

Thanks for the link. I ordered one from there. Didn?t end up saving that much money vs other sites, but I guess I am supporting the cause.

I discovered this too when I ordered Buffa. But every time Team Rider or whoever put out a survey I kept writing in to make these available stateside. I gotta put my money where my mouth is. Though this time, they put up the listing almost immediately after the one in Japan

I'm just realising now how little ground the SHF Geats line has to cover compared to previous Reiwa series... it seems like a lot for obvious reasons, but when pared down you only have 6 main riders - Geats, Tycoon, Na-Go, Buffa, Punkjack and Glare - before upgrades. We might even see the movie rider Seeker this time around with both so little to cover and their focus on the interchangeable form gimmick. I imagine that's why they figured they could put out Entry Form at all

Yeah Saber was a real feat with the number of unique suits and combinations. Not to mention it feels like Saber has the most elaborate suits in Reiwa so far. Lots of tiny details, soft parts, and a guaranteed weapon.

Someday I'd love to try and get all the swordsman. They just look so so good together.

I'm sure we'll eventually see all the Geats riders in their "full" forms, but I don't think they'll hit the same way Saber did as a group.

Saber's designs were just so top-tier, too; Geats has some great looks so far but I don't think anything's really hit me as much as Brave Dragon or Espada or Dragonic Knight did

I do not like the cape for Jaou Dragon on the SHF, but the suit helmet’s eyes just being the flames coming out of a dragon’s mouth is, like, the coolest thing ever.

Does anyone else think that Tycoon's and Buffa's legs look a bit too skinny? Like I know it's because they're not fully armored, but still, they look really thin.

Faiz pre-orders go up February 2nd in Japan.

They do look skinny and it's due to how bulky the raise buckle armor gimmick are or look and makes the Riders look unbalanced imo. It comes across as top heavy and makes them look incomplete to me

Hopefully the Geats Series doesn't pull a Revice where we go from few Riders to then having a whole set of Rider designs to cover. Like I'm ok with having one more unique Rider design but other then that just stick to recycling the helmet designs so we don't have to worry about a big backlog to cover in the SHF line

If you were a P-Bandai member already, you should have received a free shipping coupon which would've helped some.

I just had this thought the other day, but it would be kinda cool if Tamashii did a "Fan choice" Figuarts release for their anniversary that is not a reissue. Basically give the community the chance to get an unreleased prototype made or a whole new figure from a show they have the license for.

There would be some restrictions necessary, at the same time if their entire catalogue of releases is eligible for a reissue (it may not be, I'm just assuming), something like a fan choice release shouldn’t be that much of a hurdle.

They do keep saying that what they make from Tamashii is based on popular demand, so it would be cool if they had a direct vote on that. Then again, they put so little at Tamashii now that most of it gets made at some point anyway
