Plus we've SEEN Femme on display with the other Ryuuki riders before a while back. So she is confirmed and will most likely be shown some time after Imperer comes out as an exclusive.

To be fair, though, we've seen a number of figures that have never been released.

Anyone know how to loosen figuart joints? RyuRanger's forward-and-back shoulder joint's almost completely seized up.

Only gone for a day and thread seems to descended into a slight debate. Like watching C-Span or public access.

Anyhoo, I'll weigh in on the Rider Release issue. Not into Gaim (not yet), and there's no confirmation I know of that Femme or Imperer will be TWE. Most likely Alternative won't be either, as he's like AZ, just final model. In Bandai's eyes, it'll be another cheap sell like AZ. On the Monster front...I dunno. That's in the air.

Now I came to see what the feeling is about Bandai phasing out D-Arts & merging everything into S.H.Figuats line. I guess from a marketing standpoint, it makes a lot more sense. Kinda glad Imperialdramon is coming, but sad to see the D-Arts line go. Helped differentiate from the sentai line, guess that's why they killed it off.

Pretty sure it has already been announced that Alternative is an exclusive.

Plus this doesn't include the Contract Monsters, which totally count in my opinion.

Genocider and Magnugiga were both exclusives, as I recall. And the RideShooter is an exclusive, so there will have been more exclusive Ryuki releases than not.


What's the point of this debate? I don't remember. That Bandai has been awesome and given us almost everything we could ever want from Ryuki? I hope we get a couple more of the Contract Beasts too.

Imperer's release info didn't come until a good number of months after he was shown for the first time.

Plus in this case it wouldn't make sense to literally release every single Rider and form in the series except for the last one.

This times a thousand. Who gives a damn if they were exclusives or not. They've given us nearly everything they possibly can from that show. We've seen prototypes or actual releases of every single rider, form, and monster possible that actually appeared in the series or movies (save Ouja Blank Form :(). And there's only a handful of up in the air releases right now. They WILL happen, they've milked this series for all it's worth and won't give up before finishing it.

The only thing that could make the Ryuki line better would be if they released Figuarts of those Ouja Survive, Zolda Survive and Raia Survive designs that I've seen. I don't care if they're non canon, I'd buy them!

So now that D-Arts and Figuarts merged into D-Figuarts, or Figu-D, or whatever. Anyone think we'll have a good chance at seeing the last remaining Ryuki Riders?

What correlation is there between D-Arts being folded into the line and Ryuki, exactly? :p

The remaining Ryuki Riders will be see at Bandai's pace eventually. I do still wonder about the remaining Mirror Monsters though, Bandai's already covered the easiest ones and the most core characters'.
