S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Raia (aka "Sting")
 

Another member of the Kamen Rider Ryuki cast joins Figuarts' lineup! That makes five down and nine to go! :)


Raia will be released in June. Advent Beast not included (most likely sold separately).

Everyone's favorite prophet from Ryuki will be coming out in June. And given the track record with Fourze releases not getting mentioned to halfway through the month, we can probably expect Meteor in June as well. My predictions are always right.

Hmm never really cared for Raia's design but I'm glad to see that peoples Ryuki collections will be trucking along with this one. Can't wait to see some info on Meteor.

Wants Kamen Rider Abyss :(

Can't wait! I thought Raia was cool for the time he had in the show :D

Why was Ouja out of the group the only one who did not get the Tamashii Stage treatment?!?

It will probably come with Genocider if they release it that way

Because he's a bad bad man.

And besides they want you to fork up the money for the Mirror World Stages. I wouldn't recommend them though. The Decals are hard to align to the "center" (which truly depends on your idea of a center) and the Stage is a dust magnet which is made more prominent by the reflective surface.

I'm cool with Ouja just standing around being awesome and murderous because...well...he is. On both accounts.

If that's true then I've really got to start making room for these guys.

Just because he's displayed at a festival with it doesn't mean Raia's going to come with a stand too. ;)

Oh how I'd love all of the Kiva stages they've showed off... (and *cough*SAGA*cough* before more Ryuki guys)

So from the looks of it, seems they've improved on the whip and shoulder pads everyone hated about the Figma.

Official image update.

Always dug Raia as a character, but his head never worked for me.

I was debating on forking out on buying the Mirror World Stages since Ouja didn't come with one of his own. But since it collects dust faster than most, now I'm not so sure.

I hope this does happen only because I want him to have his contract monster.

That's true too.

And based on the official images we have now, he doesn't come with the stage...

So if and when they release Genocider, I think it'd be a good idea to throw all three stages in there. No idea if it'll happen but it would make sense.

what if they do a mega set with the unreleased advent beasts? just a thought, as they are doing it with the fmcs series and the unreleased modules. Different Price Point Entirely i know but its a thought

Me too. Ouja and Raia could've came with their contract beasts, Raia especially since his is so small. Venosnaker is a remold and repaint of Dragred/black/er so he could've, I doubt Gai would've ever came with Metalgelas though. Since R&M released those 3 monsters as one Genocider set and seeing how this is going, I don't think it's too unlikely if they plan on releasing more contract beasts in general.

Sounds like a good idea since it'll probably cost a pretty penny.

SHFs = / = Gimmick lines

So I kinda doubt that'd happen. I imagine the retail riders might get their beasts in some ways and the exclusives most likely will be packed in with their beasts if we get them at all, like how Gokai Pink and Yellow came with their Darin's inside their box.

Raia would have to be my least favorite design of the series.

Raia doesn't have my favorite design but I loved his character in Ryuki, so I'll most likely be picking Tezuka up.

I haven't yet seen Raia in the show yet, but I want them all anyway, so I'll get him. eventually. Strictly speaking, I don't have any of them right now, though I have Ouja in my POL, and I have 2 of the SH Mirror Monster sets, which are pretty cool.
