Needless to say I am pleased.

The Next is peak. It's kino. It's the most 2007 movie of all time. I think more Kamen Rider movies should inexplicably have a side plot about a Not-Sadako. I'm so excited for this fig

And thanks to the big reveal Chosen Soldier is stuck in my head now. :lolol

I absolutely adore the First/Next suits, regardless of the movie itself, so I'm more than okay with this.

I do understand why they started with the Next versions, but I hope we get the blue First Ichigo as well.

Yes please. :rock:

Kabuto and Hibiki SHFSS 10th anniversary versions will be available on the US P-Bandai store tomorrow. Will be currently shipping so little wait time between ordering.

Hellll yes

Also confirmed to be at the Tamashii Store in Time Square later.

Looks like I know where I'm going this weekend! It's good to be 20 minutes away, but hopefully they'll still be in stock!

Those prices for Kabuto and Hibiki on P-Bandai USA is crazy...someone let me know what the New York store charges when they go

The NEXT Ichigou is on PB-US (January rather than Japan's December release, looks like?): https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2743608001001

I also see POs opening soon on Nin-Nin-Game, but nothing listed on AmiAmi/HLJ yet and Hobby-Genki is out of stock at the time of this writing (7:24AM Eastern)

If a release is on P-Bandai, it's not gonna show up on sites like Amiami or HLJ.

Right, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder, appreciate ya! Been a while since I've looked towards an actual release rather than aftermarket.

You're only gonna save money on the shipping.

Hm, wonder what this is. Another reissue, maybe?

If this means we finally get a figure of Ichijo you will hear my screams of joy from across the country.

I didn't even think of that! Keeping my fingers crossed for you and me on the off chance this somehow happens LOL (but I won't get my hopes up -- I'm thinking it might be an Ultimate reissue which would still be huge)

I'd definitely appreciate a Ultimate Kuuga rerelease as well as the Rising Mighty and Amazing Mighty seihous

I figured and I still don't understand why Hibiki cost so much more than Kabuto

I agree. It should be half the price they're asking for it. Ain't no way the bonus stand it comes with is worth $70.

It the paint that used on it. It metallic and it very shiny that’s why the cost is so high. The price is the same even if you buy it from japan that’s what I paid for mine so here in us it going to be the same price.

I headed to the NYC store on my lunch break and scored a copy of both Hibiki and Kabuto. Taxes hurt, though

Good stuff. :rock:

If I could ask, how much was it in-total?

All in USD.

$140 for Hibiki, $100 for Kabuto (yes, it got marked up overnight online from 95 to 100). That totals to $240, but thanks to New York taxes it actually totaled to about $261. Since you spend over $100, they also give you a little Tamashii New York logo stand thing (attached in the photos, along with tonight's Kabuto shots.)

Those price Still cheaper than importing from japan I guess, nice catch

SHF Upgrade has unveiled a slew of add-on parts for some latest releases

That’s so crazy that the little center gem piece on the bear rider heads is not part of the main mask and is part of the eye lens piece. It would have been so nice to just swap out the punkjack lenses on the other two.

SHF upgrade is doing some really smart stuff here though. I really like that sword handle and buckle set. Now I don’t have to buy three sets of the other rider heads. Only thing that would be better is some kind of set with a belt and core for buffa and tycoon. Uh and some parts to replicate the pants too for them. That way we could make a spare entry form body into a tycoon or buffa command mode body and not pay the crazy aftermarket prices to get their core ID and lower body accessory.

And, we can finally do Nadge Sparrow monster properly with this set!

I ordered a whole bunch of GM rider bodies from pbandai US, and still have not gotten them. I also noticed their site is under maintenance again. So I might be getting these SHF Upgrade releases before I even get the stuff I bought from pbandai.

They should be shipping this week. Got an update last week saying the head set and GM rider release would start shipping the 28th.

Ordered all the eye lens sets. The Buffa and Tycoon sets are great and open up a lot of combo possibilities and definitely knew they'd jump on the head set the moment they saw how the lenses or faceplates were shaped.

On a different note, I picked up 10th Kabuto yesterday at Tamashii NYC. The new wrists definitely make him worth the upgrade. Things obviously feel way more natural. Also find his color is a bit more vibrant than the original release.

Hibiki's new paint also looks gorgeous. Planning to pick him up in another week or so.

I noticed that SS #100 Kamen Rider: The Next sold out on pbandai US yesterday sometime before the site went down to maintenance.

I guess it must be doing well.

Glad I bit the bullet and got my order in when I did then!

Glad you were able to pick one up! It's my first time with the Kabuto or Hibiki molds, and while I can get the criticism of them being outdated, they're still super nice!
Me too, I'm sort of tempted to track down an original SHF NEXT Ichigo just to have them next to each other.

Yasssss

Meh. Still want my DECADE JUMBO FORMATION figure.
Good for those missing out on this though

Yes, I knew it was either going to be Amazing Mighty or Ultimate that would be the announcement. Although I still think there's a chance Ultimate will a get rerelease later on

I told myself I wouldn't get too deep in the Geats figuarts line aside from just getting Geats and his upgraded forms but mmmaannn I'm a sucker for playability with what SHF Upgrade has been doing and how Bandai is finally starting to understand

You know what would be amazing? A Souchaku Henshin Kuuga Mighty Form as a figuarts. :lolol

Anyone care to speculate if the kuuga rerelease is going to be a tamashii store exclusive too?

It looks like they'll share the details such as price and whatnot around June. I wouldn't be surprised if they did make it an exclusive, but I hope they make it a regular release.

I'd hate to burst both your bubbles but the promo already has the 'Tamashii Web' logo on the top right. It's gonna be P-Bandai.
