I would STRAIGHT UP IMMEDIATELY BUY THIS just for an articulated Ferbus

Ah, I see. Although the same logic probably still applies, I'll only get them on a case by case basis rather than to fill any gaps. Are there any older SHFs that were remade for SKC that would be worth getting a this point?
...
Also, Nox looks pretty good. I'll definitely try to get him eventually, though being a Tamashi Web thing it probably won't be for a while. It's a shame pretty much nothing besides the main Rider's base form makes it to general retail these days.

I'd also add a bit more more details. SKC while aiming for suit accurate as possible, their main gimmick of selling at such high price is typically the sculpting process. They basically sculpt on the foundation of a skeleton and then muscles and skins. You could say that SKC is made from skin and bone.
That being said, the recent releases such as Gavv and Bitter Gavv saw more prominent details of suit wrinkle sculpted throughout the body, which resemble a Toku suit, rather than a character in that fiction setting.

What you should get is very much depend on what you like. For example, the Ryuki stuff was previously released as SHF, quite aged, and they're doing them again in SKC Format, same to Faiz, Kabuto etc, and that seems to be the direction for older entries.
If there's a new release announced, you better prepare to get one on the release days, or within the order period. Most of the aftermarket price of SKC are usually with high marked up. Of course, not all SKC are highly desired, depend on regions and such. Gaim for example in my place is not very well received, another example is Gavv or Ohger. Ryuki's stuf is however, sold out instantly the very moment the listing went on pre-order.
If you're going to buy a release that's went past the release period. Depend on your wallet, and what kind condition you want, the costs are varied. It is also needed to note that if you're ever buying a second hand, do pay attention to the paint, as paint damage could occur if the previous owner accidentally or just carelessly collide two painted parts together.

SHF Gavan Infinity, pre-orders open March 3rd, 8250 yen, August 2026 release.

I just noticed that they're doing Hibiki's bike alongside the 20th anniversary version of Seihou Hibiki and I just have to say- how much of a cheapskate do you have to be to include the fire-breathing head and flame sword in a separate release from the already expensive base Hibiki?

And said head is only useful with the new version since its color won't match the previous releases.

I still don't own a Hibiki and they make it way too easy to pass on this figure every single time.

Just curious. Are you not interesting in owning a Hibiki figuarts? Or still waiting for the perfect one? Doesn't seem to have any "better" version in the near future....

Yep. I might have understood packing the head and sword with the bike if Hibiki himself was an otherwise identical reissue of one of the previous versions, meaning the bike's accessories could also be used with at least one previous release, but making Hibiki a completely distinct release with a new paint job makes it feel far more like corporate greed to do it like this.

Oh I do want one, but I was just starting to collect when the first release happened, the second one was a weird store exclusive and the third one is... well, kinda blue.

I know Hibiki's colors are like that, but just a simple reissue of the first release would suffice.

And I'm in no hurry to get one, it’s not a priority for me, I can wait.

I get their vision but it really is Malibu Stacy with a new hat. This just sucks for everyone who already has Hibiki, either buy the new figure or get accessories with your bike you can’t use.

Got Psyga in yesterday. It's really good to see this guy.

nice!

On the one hand, I can't help but feel like he looks a little...basic? But on the other, I absolutely love how basic the original Gavan Figuarts looks, and this seems to keep the simplicity of that with the updates of the modern ones.

I'm thinking about adding one to my collection, but I gotta watch more of the show first (and improve my financial situation...but that's beside the point :lol)

I think a lot of the Metal Heroes designs hit the right balance of simple yet detailed and my only gripes with the early series is that their armor doesn't fully cover their arms and legs like the new series designs do.

Part of that reasoning is probably due to limited posing and mobility based off the material used but designing has improved and has better engineering

The Gavan Infinity figuarts came out exactly how I'd pictured it would look and designed.

If the show and line does well then I hope they consider revisiting past Metal Hero series because I would definitely love to have Seihou versions of Metalder and B-Fighter Kabuto

Or the ones that were shown as prototypes and then buried, like Janperson.

Speaking about buried prototypes, the 9th fox is approaching.

I will never forgive Bandai for abandoning the B-Fighter model kits

Note, the final figure will have a "soft" (?) cape, it’s not quite ready yet so the stock pictures use the hard plastic one instead.

Anyone else having an issue with actually placing an order on the P-Bandai website? Even Toku Taku Toys said they might have to cancel because the listing showed as instantly sold out.

https://p-bandai.com/us/item/F2735011001

You mean US? But honestly it is very very popular, I can't preorder at my go-to Japanese sites as he was gone in seconds.

Yeah U.S. but funny enough not only was I eventually able to place a U.S. order, Toku Taku Toys contacted me afterwards saying they were able to snag exactly one for me lol.


I guess I'll just end up with two, which I don't mind because I love this form, this Rider and this series and I waited forever to get this.

I got one but it was pure luck – I checked my shop of choice one day ahead of when they usually list Web-Exclusives and they had Geats IX up, so I ordered one.

The public listing has since vanished, my order is still intact.

That pretty much lines up with the posts I’m reading around the net now that detail how the pre-order slots are moving fast. I expect a second and / or third batch announcement any day now.

I can't preorder them either on Hobby Genki and Yoyakunow as the moment I added to the cart, it is gone. My brother was able to order two from PB Hong Kong, so I will have one.

It's a head scratcher because I thought those kits sold well or enough to continue on

Geats IX price is not as bad as I thought it would be

It's definitely gotta be coming. I remember them doing another batch for Kaixa as well.

The revealed Gavan Bushido figuarts looks so nice and I only imagine Gavan Luminous will be the same

Picture for those without Shitter:

The 2nd Geats IX batch is a lottery sale.

Tamashii making their figures available challenge: Impossible.

(high-pitched yelp)

I know I've been beating this drum for so long that there's no drum left and I'm just smacking a stick on wood dust, but I've never seen a company so adverse to making money.

'cept for Hasbro, of course.

Someone messed up at Pbandai US page. Got an ad for Gils which isn't officially listed on official Tamashi page yet. :lol It could also mean the listing will be up soon.

Web-Exclusive - of course. Meh.

I know but we never expect this character to be a general release, right?

If anybody here cares

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider V3 Seihou and his bike go up for preorder webshop Sept release both.

Now if we could get them to reissue Stronger and X that would be great

With the Agito movie hype it wasn't entirely impossible.

Dragon Ball looks a bit different to how I remember it.

We don't seem to have a topic for figma toku figures specifically, so I'll just post it here: Goodsmile is reissuing the figma Guyver, which is actually a really good figure. Set for rerelease next year.

I slapped my pre-order down. Missed the initial release as I wasn't into Guyver at the time. But after seeing the 2005 anime, I'd love to have atleast one Guyver rep on the shelf.
