Thank you! It was as simple as grabbing some false eyelashes, cutting two in half (so 4 pieces), and layering two on the neck and two attached inside the helmet (I'm a coward when it comes to commitment so I used blue tack rather than glue), then trimming to your desire! I'll pick up the SHFUpgrade stuff as well since I'm curious, and I'll post comparisons when they come!

Did SHFupgrade ever make a Buffa skirt accessory? Or, better yet, a skirt attached to a buffa belt accessory?

Surprisingly, no

Have anyone ordered Kamen rider saga from hobby Genki? Lose track of him and just check it was shown as unavailable. Not sure if it is not the time yet or sold out. Thanks

It definitely went up there, but it might have sold out in less than a day. I have been noticing some of the pbandai stuff can sell out quick there.

Then again, I just ordered Kuuga rising dragon from there a few days ago, so some stuff stays in stock for a while there.

Officially orders go up November 1st on PB JP & US, so maybe Hobby sold out the early listings. If you're set on ordering from Japan, anime-export has a listing open now

Thank you. If HG did sold out, it will be easier to order from PB US.

Kuwagata Ohger looks great and sidenote I finally was able to open my Zero-Two Aruto version and can confirm mine is missing the sliver stripe as well on the green armor on stomach area.

It really sucks because it stands out too much to me along with the small hands from the Izu version being reused. Wow Bandai don't know how you guys manage to mess up this release that bad

What stripe? I opened my Zero-Two a few days ago, comparing it to the suit I don't see anything missing.

This circled part should be silver, see attached pics for before and after.

Currently, according to JP officials, they finally noticed that part of the silver paint on the belly is missing, and they seem to be planning to issue replacement parts to customers who ordered from Japan.

Hobby Genki?s reply on this issue when I asked them

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your message
Yes, we received the notification last night
We are waiting for Bandai to send us the part, and we will add it to the package when you ask for your warehouse to be shipped
We will not be able to ship you this order before receiving the part unfortunately, we will notify you as soon as it is fully available
Sorry for the inconvenience

Ah, now I see it.

Would've not noticed it if it wasn't pointed out to me, still don't notice it now when I look at my figure from normal viewing distance.

They should've gotten it right of course, but for me personally that's not a big deal.

This might be an odd request, but does anyone have the booklet for Seihou Kabuto or Hibiki? I don't see myself buying them any time soon, but I'm really curious to look at their contents!

I?ve also wanted to see this

Kuwagata Ohger came in today. Super Sentai Figuarts. Do. Not. Miss.

He's awesome just like Zenkaiser and Don Momotaro are. I have no complaints except that we need more. More.

But for now my display is complete, I can't fit any more mecha on this shelf. Now watch the upcoming bomb-one be the single coolest toy yet :lol

Very nice photo and yes we do need more Sentai figuarts especially more Seihous. I mean come on Dekaranger is getting another movie so now's a good time to do DekaMaster please.

As much as I would like to see full teams return in figuarts I just don't think it's worth risking again and I'm personally okay with the Sentai Shodo line for full teams.

I'd say just keep focusing on the red and sixths as well as mixing in extra or unique design rangers like the Don-Murasame prototype I hope gets released. Also feel King Kuwagata Ohger would make a great release as well

Thank you and yes! I would be found guilty of plenty atrocities worthy of a "Judgment Time" if it means getting DekaMaster.

Yeah I'm fine with the current approach. Don't have interest in buying full teams, as cool as they would be.

Makes me a bit anxious that they're dragging their feet with Don Murasame though.

And please, give me Spider Kumonos!

Heck yeah to Spider Kumonos and I'm enjoying his character compared to Jiro/Don Doragoku.

I'd definitely like to see both more current airing Kamen Rider and Sentai figuarts releases to have release dates closer to when the series is still airing to better capitalize on the hype or popularity a character or form has.

They've done a good job of both announcing and confirming releases in the Geats line but wish they started earlier because I probably won't be as excited about them by the time they release because the show is long over.

The Sentai figuarts annoucement and release schedule isn't bad for the current airing series but would just like to see more releases for the series if they do have plans aside from OhKuwagata

Nah I don’t see them doing Spider Kumonos if they didn’t do Jiro why would they do him.

The way it looks for Sentai is what ranger can be repainted and released a second time one retail and other webshop. I would like to see more Sentai Figuarts but I think there just playing safe which is ok.

I hoping to see Kyoryu Red Seiohu or Abared both need 2.0 and both dinos so there popular and will sell.

Times have changed I think. They cover way more licenses nowadays, production is more expensive, they can't afford to go all out anymore. Same goes for us, at 4000 yen a pop it was easy to buy characters you don't necessarily like, but even back then some stuff shelvewarmed badly.

So slower burn with less figures it is. On the plus side, engineering gets better and better.

Not being excited is one thing, I just don't buy them anymore. I buy way, way less Figuarts nowadays. Not because I don't like the figures, but like you said, after a year or two I just don't care anymore. It has to be a show or character I really like; impulse buys because the suit does crazy cool stuff at that point in the show isn't happening when this stuff comes out so late.

We'll find out shortly thankfully, about 10 days!

Yo-ho-hoy! He had the Gokaiger-bonus, but it was a Sixth Ranger release.

Yeah I completely understand the thing with the release schedule and how they're covering more stuff nowadays. I too have slowed down on buying or am beginning to not that I really buy every release. I usually only go for characters or designs I really like in general and not just for the moment.

I usually buy the base and final forms for the primary and secondary Riders and if the Super form is a nice design then I'll buy it too.

The Heisei era is more of my thing so that's what's getting my attention with the renewals. I have no real attachment to the Reiwa era aside from the nice designs really but the Geats line is probably where I'm gonna stop buying.

All I need is for them to finish off the final forms for the remaining Heisei Riders that never got a figuart of one...looking at you Hibiki and Ghost....but also would like renewals of the ones who did get a final form figuart aside from Gaim onwards

Yeah, I wouldn't mind just the red ranger and the tsuika for regular releases and the rest as web exclusives for shows that haven't even been made yet. I'd so buy Geki Red, Red Mask, and Kiramai Silver.

Personally, I've reached a point in my collection where I've completed pretty much all my immediate wish list. I think I have hit a natural point in slowing down, but I won't say no to a good deal if I come across it

The items I'm still on the hunt for are Punk-Jack in the coming months and KR #0. Any new Seihou's for main riders will be immediate orders though, but I'm really hoping we get SS Kaixa and Delta soon.

For Gotchard though, I think I'll wait a year or so when everything is released. I don't feel the aftermarket hype will be as strong for those as it is now with Geats. Not a knock against Gotchard, just my gut feeling at the moment

My number 1 Sentai SHF hope is Staceaser. Stacey was the b best part of Zenkaiger, and would complete the trio with Zenkaiser and Twokaizer

Yeah, personally, the show seems decent so far but it doesn't draw me in like how Geats did from the start.

Good, I am not the only one who feels this in his gut. I think, unless something really cool happens, Got hard will be the Reiwa SHF Ghost. I actually have no interest in it, but I will continue to enjoy collecting the SHFiguarts it provides for the Great Wall

Gotchard for the main Rider display, pass on everything else is my stance.

The designs aren’t that bad, Valvarad could be a cool figure, but I really don’t like the show. It’s all of my Kamen Rider pet peeves in one package and then some.

Just out of curiosity, is the main character?s personality not to your liking?

Personal truth, Ace is a better character then Gotchard.

Ghost SHF's didn't sell well not because the series was bad, but because the figures' articulations were very severely limited in the torso area (and also shoulder, arm, and hip, to the lesser extent) due to the use of hard plastic to mimic the clothes. It basically disabled the articulations in those areas. Had the cloth part was made of fabric, or at least flexible PVC plastic (like on SHF Buffa), then the articulations would've been way better and worked as intended. Accuracy- and proportion-wise, they were even better than Ex-Aid SHF's (hello Ex-Aid, Genm, Cronus, and Para-DX). Their accuracy and proportion were at least equal to Build or Zi-O SHF's.

Toy sales do not always correlate with the quality of the story. There are other series with equally bad or even worse stories as Ghost's, yet their SHF's and other toys sold well. Revice and (God forbid) Geats were waaay worse than Ghost, story-wise, but their SHF's have been selling well.

I have not been watching Gotchard, but if the figure looks good, I will get it.

Unprompted breakdown of Reiwa SHFs follows:

Zero One SHFs are pretty cool. My only problem is the feet on the force belt guys like Horobi. They can’t balance well at all.

Saber - I don’t know if it’s controversial to say this, but these just don’t feel as good as other SHFs. I don’t like them that much. Only one I have kept out of the packaging is Sabela since I tried to group up the Girls Remix characters. I would say the best one is Dragonic Knight Saber. The most disappointing figure I own (non-Shin Zetton category) is Jaou Dragon with that extremely sticky and heavy cape.

I can’t say I liked the Revice SHF line that much. I’d say my favorite figures from that line were Jack Revice and Jeanne.

I’m obsessed with the Geats Line though. Don’t ask me how many entry form geats I have bought. Or Buffas. Don’t ask me about the four Buffas I have bought! Please, don’t!

So my ranking - Geats > Zero One > Revice > Saber

Yeah I don't like Hotaro much. It's always a big yikes to me when they write teenagers that act like preschoolers, and I'm generally not a fan of the dumb catchphrase and blind idealism. The last trope can work if it eventually has real consequences, but will it? Nah.

It's not just him though, the whole show isn't for me, but that doesn't belong in this thread.

I can agree with that. I feel bad about Revice though; there are some really cool suits they never bothered to adapt. I feel like Kamen Rider Vail was done dirty, although given how his belt worked and what the character would become they might actually not have wanted to produce too much merch at the short time he was relevant.

Destream is great too though, that's one I will actually get if they put it up for order, the prototype looked cool.

Gotchard is not doing anything for me will pass on all the figuarts it just so boring why toei used loudmouth riders again and again is beyond me.

Will definitely get a figuart of Legends so much better rider. I enjoying the Geats line it a lot of fun to swap the parts that the selling point of the line. It also help to get what favorite form you want with geats gimmick.

Still hoping for SHF Kamen Rider Seeker

Not trying to clog the thread with it but I share the same thoughts as well about Gotchard which is why I said I'm stopping with the Geats figuarts line which is a good thing for my wallet 😆.

As for my thoughts on the Reiwa series in the figuarts line I personally feel the Revice line was done the best

In terms of offering accessories like vistamps with each release and the different weapons combo of the hammer and sword while also including character specific weapon and add-ons. I'm just saying the display and playability is high and I still love looking at my KR Demons

The Live figuart really sold me on the design and love messing around with him.

Oh that is a good point about the Revice line having the painted gimmicks. That was so nice to see after the unpainted ridebooks, and progrise keys.

The zero-one line is obviously cool because the series has very nice designs and are more

From a poseability standpoint some of my favs from the Saber line is Kaizen, Blades, Sabela and Saikou personally but I've said it before having all the SoL Riders displayed together really highlight how good they look in figuart form and I feel base form Saber is the weakest of the releases in terms of engineering.

Idk aside from the poor choice of plastic for the skirt parts, the dragon shoulder part sits too high imo and makes the arm look awkward when having him in a static pose.


As for the Geats line the lack of true changeable parts between all Riders has disappointed me especially when it comes to Nago.

Idk why they didn't include entry form parts for Nago when she was using that form pretty much for like the 1st ten episodes...I already know why Tycoon and Buffa got one because they have the mold for males

Idk for me I'll just focus on getting Geats' Super and Final forms, when/if Geats IX gets confirmed, Tycoon Bujin Sword hopefully, and then KR Gazer because that's too nice of a design to pass up

The form change stuff works brilliantly for Geats, but I really wish they had thought it out better for the other riders.

As far as the female entry form goes, I am imagining they could do a set with the heads of maybe 3 female riders and then include a female entry form body. Seems reasonable to me. It could probably sell for the same price as the male entry heads set. But this is just me being hopeful. They could just abandon the revolve change gimmick and make other forms that don’t have it.
