There isn't a single Hibiki figuart? That's a shame.

Aye. It makes me quite sad, I love Hibiki's design, it's just really really cool. But given the general not so successful nature of the show and it's own toyline, Bandai is probably trying to not get burned by it again. Also would be the first main rider we'd get that wouldn't have some sort of clear plastic/compound eye effect on it I think (could be wrong), though his ongeki would at least have clear plastic heads.

I would LOVE to get a Hibiki figuart. Him and Bravo are all I need now.

Had they not yanked the director, sacked the whole creative team, and completely blown the plot for the second half of the series it wouldn't have been a bad as it turned out to be commercially. I love Hibiki and want Figuarts of any and all riders from it. But at this point I'm guessing he's at the bottom of their list :(

I'm sure we'll see Hibiki eventually though I'm starting to think he may end up web exclusive if Bandai doesn't have confidence in it due to the toys being a commercial failure. We're getting Figuarts Shin, at this point I don't think anything if off the table.

Oh man, Hibiki would look gorgeous if they do him with either translucent plastic or metallic paint.

I'm not sure how I'd like for them to do him honestly. Translucent plastic would be a terrible way to go, he would be way too fragile and the joints would all have to be a different material, it would look really bad. Metallic paint could be better, but it'd have to be done just right IMO.

And yeah, the fact that we are getting Shin as a figuart does show that Hibiki is a definite possibility (and isn't he a mass release?), but at the same time..the fact that we are getting Shin BEFORE Hibiki doesn't exactly bode well for everyone's favorite oni.

I doubt they'll release Hibiki as a TWE. So far it seems like only the movie-exclusive Showa riders will be getting that treatment, which makes sense. Other than them, every main rider's seen a mass release. Even riders like Sky Rider, who apparently is the least-liked of the Showas, and ZX, who was only featured in a TV special, saw mass release.

ZO and J will likely get a retail release when they get figuarts. Shin is not very popular which is why he is a web exclusive.

Anyone else seen this?
