SH Figuarts GAVAN for 2013 via Tamashii Web
 

The long-awaited Space Sheriff Gavan finally makes the jump to S.H. Figuarts! Unfortunately he didn't jump far enough- Gavan is a Tamashii Web Exclusive Gavan will come with an alternate head to simulate the look when his eyes are light up, one regular sword and one with translucent blade to simulate the power up.

S.H. Figuarts Gavan is scheduled for release in April 2013 at a cost of 4,200 yen

TWE? Bluefin, can you pull out your Black Condor magic once more, please?

God this x 1,000,000. If not, this will be the first exclusive I buy from a middleman. Not going to rely on Mandarake for Gavan!

It really surprises me that they went ahead and made Gavan an exclusive...

Actually that looks very much like the original Action Works Gavan which is very similar to an SHF. I saw a few days back, on a blog, pictures of a metallic finish Gavan that came with the same Action Works display base. I think this is it. Being rebranded as a Figuart?

I'm not sure, the designs are just very similar. But otherwise I'm deeply confused.

i am a happy boy! can't wait to see what else they have in store

Maybe Type-G will be a Mass Release? I'm very surprised to say the least, as much as I've been wanting one, it's kinda disappointing that it's a TWE, I'd think he'd be just as, if not more popular, due to all of his recent appearances, than other older Heroes such as Ichigo and Akaranger. Definitely gonna get one, though.

This is good news. Hopefully it'll open the door for more Metal Hero SHF's. I want a Jiban to hang out with my G3. ^^

This. Though to be fair, we don't know if Akaranger is even seeing a release or not yet, let alone if he'll be a mass release.

Hell yes, put my name on it and considered it bought! They better make the other 2!

I swear I think this is just a reissue of the Action Works figure under the SHFiguarts banner. It looks almost identical aside from a metallic finish. I mean look here:http://blog.yahoo.com/_ED274AZGFINLE...s/692951/index

Does look similar indeed, however I do notice that the knee caps are different, as well as the ankle area

Face it Den-O, you're gonna have to re-buy this one :lol

Cool, can we have Metalder next?

All of them, and their vehicles!! I'm going Space Sheriff crazy!! :lolol

I guess your right. I just don't know why they'd do both releases?

And yes, yes I will rebuy him. I'm all in for all things Gavan :lol

I wonder what makes Gavan cost 4200? That's higher then most exclusive SHFs.

ALRIGHT, WHO DO I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH TO THANK FOR MAKING THIS A REALITY!!!!

God this is so bought!

Probably the chrome plating...

I don't think Bandai wouldn't release Akaranger, even it is a while from now, I would also claim that I couldn't see him not being a mass release, but I'm not so sure if Gavan is exclusive...

It was probably this? http://p-bandai.jp/megatreshop/item-1000077904/

Looks like a diecast Actionworks Gavan, from the price. Or does metal finish just mean chrome?

Is he metallic, or just painted to look metallic?

Bought.

Then give me the B-Fighters please.

that and the rest of the metal so i can make VR troopers team

YES, YES, YES!!!

Too bad it's a web exclusive. :(

Well, a lot of Sentai related figures from that Tamashii Nations event(Baseball guy, Wals Gill, Rio & Mele, the rest of the Boukengers) haven't gotten anymore coverage since said event, including Akaranger, so who knows. But I am hopeful they'll resurface, because I can't have my original toku franchise first hero shrine without Akaranger. :D

We've got a Tamashii event in two weeks, so we might know more about them by then.

It's a pity the Original Gavan is a Web Exclusive! I guess Sharivan & Shaider Originalé will be like this too. :(

But if that means the New versions will be mass release. Ah well, better than nothing. :)

SO MUCH WANT!!! And yet I will never be able to afford this... :(
