Looks like the Heisei rider rereleases are getting a USA release. Also Gazer is up on pbandai US.

I actually preordered all of the rerelease heisei riders, except ex-aid, on hobby genki. Might pick up the ex-aid USA release.

Is this an official shf account?

Don't think so, but I would love a renewal Black RX

Good news, then, because there already is a renewal RX. :D

Black RX and the other two forms have huge market, I can't see why they won't do them.

where?

The question remains, will it have interchangeable eyes. :lolol

They made Biorider and Roborider along with all three bikes years ago.

I think they were talking about a Seihou specifically.

I know, I'm just kind of a dickhead. :p

I would love a Seiho RX. I have the renewal myself and I like it a lot, but it's quite thin and I really hate the outdated hips. I hope they don't bother with the rubber sleeves like Black and Shadow Moon, though. Mine are fine, but I know a lot of people had problems.

Something came to mind, I wonder if for the Figuart of Gotchard they'll opt to not put chrome on him & instead use metallic blue paint in order to get him at that entry level price point, since if I recall the reason why Build's colors were kinda dull was due to it also being at the entry level price point.

I don't think so either in order to keep price point below $40. Personally I feel it's better that way because of paint chipping.

Thinking about it, I don't think there's ever a real chrome paint on any Figuarts Kamen riders, maybe for Iron man mk50?

I can't think of any SHF that has chrome paint like that, but Bandai's Myth Cloth line does do that finish for almost every release

Would be neat if there was an end of year, high gloss Gotchard, but I don't expect it

New option lenses for Buffa from SHF upgrade

Finally an upgrade for Buffa! The lenses are cool so I’m hoping that a wired clothe skirt is in the works.

Tamashii Nation 2023 Exclusives! We got Glitter Tiga, First Henshin Black Sun and Final Episode Tajador Combo.

Thankfully I don't need any of these, though that TaJaDol is absolutely beautiful.

No Geats-stuff, huh. Although it's probably better like this, all repaints, no actual new forms locked as an event exclusive.

If there was an actual new form would it be Buffa Jamato/Zombie or KR Lopo with Booster or Zombie for the chest? (Assuming the NaGo figure does the swap gimmick)

I figured they might release Boost MK II this way given that "First Stage Super Form" seemed to be a theme for such exclusives sometimes.

We had stuff like Shining Hopper and Jack Revice there. I remember Primitive Dragon too but can't recall if it was an event exclusive or went up during the event. I think the latter.

Ah this is true and honestly it would make sense for Boost MK II to be an envent exclusive.

Though it makes me wonder if the next Geats SHF release after Glazer could be Ziin then Boost MK II, I feel that Ziin could come with parts for Boost MK II so you get Laser Boost.

The Nago figure does not swap. I?ve seen a custom Lopo helmet on some of the already released figures and it looks great. I don?t believe that character is as short as Nago

Tamashii 2023: my wallet is safe. Honestly a good selection of exclusives in that they?re all variants/repaints that don?t feel like must haves. Though I?m surprised they broke norm and didn?t do a figure from the current series. I have a feeling though from here out we?ll just get the Geats upgrade forms

Disappointed with the lack of Sentai SHF. Surely they could have painted Kuwagata Ohger Silver or Gray or whatever. Sorry I have not been keeping up with Kingohger, but I know there’s CSFP (color swap figure potential).

That is both a shame and not really that surprising to me, so I suppose if we get another female rider in the Geats line it?s most likely going to be Nago Fantasy?

I am happy/relieved that they are all repaints (with extra parts). Am I right? The OOO is the same release + flame effect, right?

I figured they'd do Saikou Shadow as an event exclusive by now but hey not needing to despair over missing a pre-order by a millisecond or aftermarket prices is fine too.

still salty that they haven't done saikou shadow yet, that is one of my favorites from saber

I think I will try to get glitter tiga.

I will skip blushing black sun, but I do think it’s cute how red his face got.

"Blushing" black sun lol I like that name

and where did you see said Lopo head, is it available to buy?

Hey lads, I'd like a TryChaser 2000 bike to go along with my Seihou Kuugas; should I go for the FRS or hunt down a SHF? I'm just looking for one that scales nicely. Thanks a ton!

The SHF scales with it very well, I think. Never had the FRS so no idea there.

Only a custom from andrewone1000 on twitter:

That is a really cool custom head, I wish it was for sell because those pictures are selling it!

Nice

Part of the reason why I'm also collecting the Revolve Change Figure line this year since they scale great with Figuarts, and the Bujin Sword set is coming with a Lopo helmet too!

You know I was almost tempted to just collecting the RCF but I just collect the SHF but I?m happy that Lopo helmet is coming to that line. Lopo was a cool characters and was taken off the show too early.

Though I am hoping that SHF Upgrades will make a Lopo helmet in the future!

There's gonna be an Ultraman-focused pre-order drop on Friday.

Earth Garon will go up, as well as three reissues: Ultraman A-type, Taiga and Seihou Tiga.

Details for Earth Garon:

Tiga is interesting since I assume it will use the new tooling and materials they advertised for the Tamashii Nations exclusive Glitter Tiga to finally fix this figure.

EDIT:

Zinn and a Geats Boost Mark II + Laserboost Set. Mark II and Laserboost are one figure with swapping parts.
