All I know is bouken black and blue but idk who are the others.

I can't read that but does this confirm the awesome rumor of the Bouken Blue/Black 2-pack?

Apparently so. Just waiting for someone like Cybergundam to translate it.

Cybergundam has the list. But only translated Kamen Rider Beast Hyper.

And confirmed the Bouken Blue/Black 2-pack!!!!!! :D

The other stuff appears to be some form of Ultra-Act Gridman that I can't quite decipher and a Zero of Super Saiyan Goku.

Actually when I put it in the translator I think its Drago.

Great news for all you Boukenger fans! :D

(And for me, I'm well in need of a month off from exclusives :p)

Maybe after the whole Boukenger team is released I will watch the show and wash the taste of Operation Overdrive out of my mouth. Then Decide if they are worth collecting. But by the time that happens , I'll hopefully be knee deep in Kyoryuger figuarts and DX Dinos.

I just need confirmation to frontpage this.

That would have been fantastic, but it's actually King Gridman (Phormo to SSSS fans).

If we're getting a form that was never even prototyped before a more final design like God Zenon, it's possible we'll still see that as a later exclusive as well. I don't think the Thunder Gridman experiment worked out to merit a mass release if this was the result.

Oh weird then again I never actually watched SHS so what would I know lol. I do want to watch it eventually though.

Aww man (/TommyOliver) but that two-pack of Boukenblack and Boukenblue is going to be hard to resist!

I am tempted by all of the Gridman releases. I have stayed away from Gridman himself because of the numerous reports of broken wrists, but Thunder and King may be too much for me. If they ever release Xenon and Drago, well, stick a fork in me because my goose is cooked. :lol

(Also: cmon T-N and Tsuburaya, give us a freaking VIRUS already!)

The one Gridman I'd actually consider getting is a Web Exclusive. That's a non-surprise.

Thunder Gridman appears to be a big disappointment according to most reviews I've read. So it doesn't surprise me that King is an exclusive.

Black & Blue as a set is a bit unusual, but yet another sign that Sentai designs are least profitable.

Why are there five SHF listings in the translated list but only four in the scan? The Shocker Grunt is listed as a general release elsewhere.

Because the Shocker Grunt is also apparently mentioned for release in the issue. It just isn't on that page for some reason.

In the scan here: http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=33835 it looks to be a general release.

Got it! Thanks for the heads up. I'll edit the post :D

I am psyched to hear we're getting Bouken Black and Blue - not because I'm any huge fan of Boukenger, but because we're closer to completing another Sentai team.

I'm fine with 2-packs. They could even do 4 or 5-packs if it meant guaranteeing team completion. And since the bodies feature so much reuse, and because of the bulk sale, a modest price reduction would be appreciated and in order. I hope we get pink, yellow, and silver soon.

I'm really looking forward to more original figures like Mele, Rio, Akaranger, etc. I always care least about the new Sentai team. Kyoryuger can wait. I'd much rather get some of the characters from way back. How cool would it be to have a complete team of Battle Fever J or JAKQ?

Aw man, Beast Hyper is an exclusive? Reeeally glad I sprang for the regular form of a Rider instead of final now..

2-packs are fine, but personally I'd hate to see Figuarts go into boxsets. The idea of buying a 4+ figure web exclusive set fills me with utter dread and would seriously affect the amount I'd want to buy.

See boxed sets are EXACTLY what I've always wanted from Figuarts. It allows me to get everyone I want at one time. With Sentais boxed sets just seem like a no brainer. If you're gonna do the Reds and 6ths on their own then that leaves 4 figures in limbo in the middle. Based on how they sold the individuals for Shinkenger, Gokaiger, and Dekaranger I'd say they determined this was the best/easiest way to sell the other core team members.

Now where is my Bouken Pink/Yellow 2-pack and Silver/Zubaan 2-pack :)

Which is fine if you can afford to buy 4 figures in one go. Not everyone has that luxury :(

Exactly. While I'm sure it's slightly less than if they had been sold separately (entirely excluding shipping, since they'd also probably be released and shipped separately), it's still going to be insanely expensive. Two-packs seem like the best solution to me. They get released faster and can release more, while simultaneously increasing appeal by having them grouped together. Put in four and now you've made your product too expensive.

Touche. I don't always have that much on hand either. It just makes more sense to sell them that you way is all.

Figures the one Gridman Ultra Act I'd want is a web exclusive *sigh*

interesting that they're going for the two pack route with the sentai releases though…

If Rider forms end up being web exclusives, I wonder if they'll eventually start packing the forms together too?

They could always do both. Bandai, Takara, and probably others, do that with various combining things.

Sweet! I'm all over Boukenger 2 packs.

Ye I really want King Gridman. Damned Bandai and their Web Exclusives.

Y'know I'm surprised we're not seeing Pink first. Considering we're seeing her in Akibaranger and all.

I'll just Mandrake the Bouken two pack as I will not have the money to get them in Aug.

the bouken 2 pack is deffo getting bought. the beast and wizard figures im less sure since ive picked up 7 WAPS figures, not much point buying them all again.

Considering retail releases for that month haven't been announced I think it's possible Pink could come out that way. And I only say that because of her Akiba cameo. The characters featured in that show last time saw releases immediately after to great effect. It's a great marketing vehicle and Bandai could be using it again for the characters appearing. I'm still convinced that Tyranno Rnager and Dragon Ranger will come out that way.

Well looks like Meteor Storm didn't sell well enough to justify Secondary Rider final forms to be retail, shame.

I think it's safe to say none of Fourze's SHF retail releases did well…I mean most places are still selling them out for clearance prices...
