When I asked them this, their reply was your items are held right up until they start to take up too much shelf space; then they'll send you a notice about getting things shipped out

JP and US release of Faiz back up on Tokullectibles

Bandai is doing some sort of Tamashii Nations popup store in New York at HBX. Feb 23rd - Mar 2nd.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUUdI_ciV6w

The "exclusives" are:

Gundam Robot Spirits Rick Dom Char's Custom Real Marking
Gundam Robot Spirits RX-78-3 G-3 Real Marking
SHF Kamen Rider Zero One Rising Hopper [Best Selection]
SHF Ultraman Z Original [Best Selection] (No beam effect)
Evangelion Robot Spirits EVA-01 Test Type [Best Selection]
Metal Build Strike Gundam Heliopolis Roll Out Ver.

Those figuarts are in new black windowless boxes.

Huh. Would have been great if they brought over some other Tamashii Store stuff like maybe Iron Man or the 55th Mefilas...

Before I got list them on ebay, I don't suppose anyone here would have an interest in the lot of Kamen Riders Ghost, Specter, and Necrom?

Sabela came in today. Just need Durandal to complete the Sword of Logos swordsmen.

Is hobby genki not allowing anything to be placed on your cart for anyone else?

Very beautiful figure. It's a shame the Boost Buckle can't close, but when a small piece not having moving parts to perfectly replicate one specific pose is the biggest issue; yeah, this kinda looks like a great time! If they do release Boost Magnum as I think they're going to and it's easy enough to get on the aftermarket I might just have to track this one down

Oof, and the hands that can hold the handle of the Raise Buckles only comes with Entry Form.

Also kind of a shame that it's only Geats that you can have form changes with. Would've loved to see the others be able to swap forms with.

Oh, damn, that sucks... I thought it was just the rifle and some pose hands exclusive to Entry (which still is frustrating). Well, I guess I wouldn't be having him holding buckles much, I suppose...

Just a heads up. My Kamen Rider Skull got cancelled by Entertainment Earth.

Kind of hilarious read there when you consider the fact that the figure has been long out of print. Was some Entertainment Earth rep hounding Bandai for answers? ?WHERE?S THE SKULL? WHY ARE YOU NOT MAKING MORE?!?

Edit: also I was on the tail end of the order period. Maybe people who got in early were able to get the fig. I know the post from the really good forum member who caught it and alerted all of us had been up for several hours by the time I saw it.

If this becomes wide-spread cancellations then EE messed up somewhere. It's either that or they found minuscule leftover stock, sold through it early but didn't list it as sold out fast enough so extra orders that couldn't be fulfilled went through.

Hopefully some people are able to get some figures. I was several hours late, so that could be why I got cancelled.

Gokai Red back on Tokullectibles

My order also got cancelled too. I think EE seriously messed up and was supposed to list figure rise version for Kamen rider skull instead. If you really think about it, where would they be getting 5 year old Pbandai exclusive figuarts from?

Seihou Skull was actually retail back in the day.

The figure rise theory is the likely case as to what the listing was actually supposed to be. It was released fairly recently in Japan, would make sense to come around this time frame in the US

They do, strangely, have listings for the much more recent Wizard and Blade FRSes but not Skull. But that also doesn't make a huge amount of sense to me since he would be consistent with other FRS prices at ~$40, rather than the $60 he was priced at

The listing didn't make sense from day one.

I suppose must forgive EE for this blunder. Nobody's perfect.

Never have we heard that SS skull is getting an reissue, right?

Alas, it disappeared fast. I suspect this is one preorder I'm just not going to be able to make.

They just showed Magnum Buffa on stream, so seems like gimmicks do work across other Riders!

I'm really liking how fast forward they're moving with the Geats line with reveals and confirmations. Probably because new Riders are constantly being introduced in the show but in general happy to see the core Riders get confirmed and out of the way....hopefully this leads to them getting back on track with releases

Huh. Just Na-Go today? Alright

I'm very confused now both why they didn't show it before, and why Geats would need a specific Zombie jaw piece - because Buffa's Zombie jaw piece isn't compatible with him - if his Magnum jaw piece works just fine with Buffa. Very confusing form gimmick! Opening up a lot more questions than answers! Unless this is like, some kind of "extra eye and jaw pieces" set that's coming with Boost/Magnum or some other release later

Good to know that the torsos can actually be swapped without issue and that we'll have the core 4 within the year.

At this point unless they give us more mains to worry about all I'd need is a villain.

And maybe Punk Jack.

Per the listing on Tokullectibles, the Na-Go figure is not designed to parts swap with the other figures in the Geats line.

Not too surprised or upset by that. Figure looks great.

Hobby Dengeki's summary doesn't mention anything about an extra set. They noted only Geats B/M and Buffa were used in that demo. Very confusing indeed.

Also, the instruction manual popped up, giving us an idea how this change works

Not surprising it is incompatible, they ended up making the figure shorter which I prefer tbh

https://tamashiiweb.com/images/item/...SfRtqVU_03.jpg

I'm wondering what's next in the line. I could see Monster Punk Jack being inevitable so we can get all the unique buckle torsos. I don't really see Boost & Magnum Fever being their own individual releases, but since it is PB/Made-to-Order I suppose Tamashii can take that hit

So I suppose that getting a Beat/Boost NaGo will not happen or at the very least a boost set for the female figures? Probably not but still I wouldn?t mind a Lopo figure as she was cool in the story.

Punk Jack is a safe bet for sure as a next figure BUT what if Bandai decides to make Revi and Vice from the movie into the Geats line. Not only will Monster torso be released with Vice but Revi would come with the Beat torso for the male figures so you can make Geats Beat.

I fell off watching Geats, no fault of the show, I just kind of fell off watching, but it kind of seemed to me like they were getting away from the revolve change gimmick?

Maybe they are just biting the bullet now, and releasing Na-Go without that feature, because they know it will not matter much going forward.

Also i could just be talking nonsense here.

Well in general, many Rider seasons start to phase out the form changes after a few months or so. But with the long lead time these figures need, it does often feel they're behind on the current status quo

Na-Go though I feel is a unique case where the character is shorter than the males, and this line has prioritized making figures screen accurate first and foremost

No nonsense talk here, its fun discussing this stuff isn't it ?

Na-Go not being able to form swap isn't a sign of the series moving away from the revolve change gimmick, it's just that her body type wouldn't work with the parts that will be out by that time.

If they released SHF Lopo, for example, then they'd more than likely be able to swap between herself and Na-Go considering she has used buckles that the previous 3 male SHFs use. Would then give Na-Go swap options.

I agree about Lopo, that figure could come with Zombie or Bootor parts that can be compatible with NaGo, another option is to release Logo as an Entry Form with Boost parts and maybe Zombie torso for the female figures.

That wouldn't make sense or be very accurate to Lopo, though; as she is taller than Na-Go. Her proportions are more in line with the standard figures in the SHF Geats line than Na-Go's

Turnaround on this is getting very quick btw

Yeah I kinda want Punkjack.. still stuck on mindset of if they have some unique accessory like his cape, they're the more "important" Riders. But then of course Lopo and NadgeSparrow have nothing and they clearly are some more important characters too so eh maybe that whole thing was dropped internally anyway and is a bad metric to go off of...

I dunno, doesn't change I want Punkjack Monster with his cool cape lol.

Punkjack would be cool. Especially if they include alternate masks for Shirowe and Da•Paan. And maybe a few of the weapons. Although that by itself could be a neat accessory set.

Honestly Punk Jack would probably come with an alternate Nudge Sparrow head considering they both only used Monster.
