All this talk of SKC Akarenger just reminded me that SKC Go-on Red was on display last year and still haven't been commercialized yet... Need him and SHF Durandal to go on preorder soon :cry

All in due time, hopefully. It probably would make sense to release it in 2028 if they ever get to it, because 20th anniversary and all.

Just a question to anyone who has these particular items, does the SHF Gavv (Popping Gumm) scale well with the DX Vrocan Gatling and can he ride it?

The SHF and the action figure is roughly the same size so I would assume that SHF Gavv can sit on Vrocan Gatling.

Thank you both!

It's pretty crazy that the S.H. Figuarts and retail figures are practically equivalent. Valen is even more so, since the Figuarts Gavv at least has the gummi detail looking good, while retail Valen's chocolate looks perfect. I'm not sure I'd be able to tell the difference from across the room, now that the sizes are effectively identical.

SHF Gozyu Wolf revealed and shown off by actor Mio Fuyuno.

Gozyu Wolf is looking excellent; his suit design just works so much better in Figuarts-form than Bun Red's tracksuit.

It's funny; I woke up today and was like "Huh we could get a Toku-announcement right now. Wait, Gozyu Wolf gets his special weapon in today's episode. Surely they reveal Gozyu Wolf now?"

And weirdly enough it happened but - they don't include said weapon :lol

I can live without it, but kind of strange. Then again we should wait a bit, Tamashii did without info on some accessories for other figures recently to give the marketing campaigns a second wind, maybe we get that weapon after all.

Gozyu wolf definitely look great in figuarts form and hides the articulation well in the reveal photos

Ultraman Omega Figuarts announced, literally within the same day the show was fully revealed

damn that was fast

so look like the price Hibiki final form has spiked after releases ............ possible double the price now

Kingogher S.H.Figuarts Spider Kuronos is up for preorder.

It's beautiful. But 9,350 yen??? Holy cow.

Agree at least we got another Sentai Figuart and it more Kingogher.

Bun Violet when? Go On Red?

The chanting circle worked, fantastic news. That is definitely the one prototype I wanted to see commercialized the most, huzzah!

Also, gotta love the auto translate function on the Tamashii webpage, it knows what’s up:

I hate to be the one who has to inform you about this, but the "regular" price for a Figuart is 9900 yen nowadays. And I expect it to rise above 10000 yen within this year.

In comparision, our spider person here is not that awfully priced.

Personally I will not preorder any sentai figuarts, no matter how much I like it. "Have lost money" on every sentai figuarts I have preordered so far.

You can always wait to pick him up after release. The chance of saving a few thousands yen below retail is relatively high for sentai figuarts, in the worst case, you won't have to pay much over retail even if there is no price drop.

The store-limited version of Seihou Kuuga Mighty (not the exhibition-exclusive Riku, if you're wondering) is showing up at the NY Tamashii store tomorrow (May 2nd)! Def going to pick up one for myself.

Send me one please. Thanks.

If you're serious, we could work something out! :V

DM me and we'll see what works.

Picked up my copy of Kuuga from the NY Store while on lunch break! It cost $75 USD, but with taxes took me to $81.66. Posting pics here from my office desk, but I'd like to get better pics later. The box looks nice, but it's more of a standard SHF box than the iPhone box-style releases we know SKC for. The trays are still using the more ecofriendly material that started with Faiz.

First things first, this is using the updated head mold (that started with Dragon/Pegasus, I think?). However, instead of the forehead gem being painted red, the horns look to be cast in translucent red and painted gold this time (similar to the existing bracelets/anklets). Speaking of the gold, it looks to be a little darker? Could just be my lighting and I'd need my original figure to compare at home. The red is definitely more matte to evoke the original show, and is especially noticeable on the forearm guards -- these used to be metallic red regardless of if this was the original/Onodera/50th version, but now it's a flat red. The Arcle now has the Linto glyphs at the front picked out in black paint.

The core mold itself hasn't changed, so neither has the articulation changed. Accessory spread is the same as the other Mighty Kuuga releases: Two fists, two gesture hands, two calm hands, and a thumbs up (right).

Overall if you don't already have a Kuuga, this is actually not bad given how much any of the other versions run for on the aftermarket. Otherwise, I'd say if you already have a Mighty release you can probably skip it UNLESS you're a diehard for the change in finish (like I am)!

Hmm. While I'm kinda torn on the changes to the head, everything else seems to be an improvement. Thanks for the photos!

Great sharing, I just don't like the box which makes it so different from other SS releases, lol

I missed preorders for Spider Kumonos on Hobby Genki, Nin-Nin, HLJ, and Tokullectibles. Anyone have any leads on where it might still be available?

Looks like Amiami still has a lag on him so you might want to keep an eye on it.

Toku Taku is reliable, I used them a couple of times before:

Thanks, Kiwami. This was a huge help. Just put in my preorder over there.

I can vouch for them too. They're not my first choice but the handful of times I've used them they've been aces.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL - Durendal finally has a release date!

finally, he is here

Woot woot!

*stops timer* Two years and... four months after the other Blue Guy With A Trident I was looking forward to.

Man I'm glad I didn't bet any money on that one to myself.

And who may that other blue guy with a trident be???

Why the one in my avatar, of course.

I have no idea who that is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.


Cool though, fit slaps

Ah yes, Cye of the Torrent, the Water Ronin Warrior of Trust.

Ronin Warriors was a good anime ngl.

Depending on where you're from he may also be called Jorge, Simo, Yann, or as I best know him now, Shin.
