That Zangetsu is .... wow.

And that SIC Wizard looks awesome.

Zangetsu O_O

.... And still no Goseiger. Not even Alata. .... You hath forsaken me, Bandai.

I must not get Zangestu Shin. I must not get Zangetsu Shin. I must not Zangetsu Shin.

Bandai: "Goseiger was not super mega. So no."

damn these Gaim Figuarts are sexy...and as for Wizard...YES PLEASE!

I totally agree. I love the Gaim figuarts they look amazing.

I was gonna be content with Armored Zangetsu but holy friggin' crap...

Shin Zangetsu has to be one of the best-looking Figuarts coming out this year. May have to get one.

Damn it. I was gonna try and stick to the AC's because I like the gimmick. Maybe just try for am Orange Arms Gaim for the Main Rider lineup. Now I'm probably go for the Zangetsus as well. Curse Takatora for having the best suits in the show!

That Gou gets more tempting the more I see it.

I just want Goseiger figuarts. Just give me Alata of the Skyick, then I can sit here and hope he sells well enough they make Moune.

Them not showing off Sentai figuarts is not surprising for me. They do Sentai figuarts if there's a new season of Akibaranger or some type of movie (V-Cinema or a movie released in theaters).

It's especially frustrating as we have Gosei Knight. Why do we have him and NONE of the others? Like the most complex sculpt is finished, you can use a regular SHF body for the rest and just slap on some Goseiger paint.

I love that S.I.C. Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style pose!

I know. Bandai made Go-Busters Figuarts, and I know Goseiger had higher ratings! WTF Bandai?!

Go-Busters had a show coming out at the time.

No one asked for your truth and details!

No one asks for these things, I just provide :p

Yes, never doubt a Welshman.

Maaaaan, being the form I care least about Shin Zangetsu sure looks good...

Takatora looks freaking boss. I cant wait to get my hands on that figure.

They look amazing

I find it odd that Shin Zangetsu AC release is retail, but his figuart is a web exclusive.

Why is that odd? The AC is a mass retail gimmick toy, not a high end collectors piece. Toys with higher price tags like this have more of Bandai's money to lose if they're poor sellers at general retail.

Shin Zangetsu is sooooo purdy! I need that figuart!

Highly tempted to go all in on Wizard Sics too just for the cool pla monster fusions.

He's the main character of the show and he is very popular. It would make sense for him to be retail. Ouja from Ryuki was retail.

Not the main character so I don't get your point. At best he's the quadrary (4th) rider of the show. Both Baron & Ryugen take up more screen time than Shin Zangetsu right now. So I'd hardly call his exposure as a factor warranting mass release.

Is he popular? Hell yes he is. But there's only so many slots available for retail releases when it comes to a currently ongoing show, especially one that has like 10 riders.

Not to mention that Takatora already got a retail release with Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms.

Add me to the list of people who doesn't really care for Energy Zangetsu but still thinks the SHF looks gorgeous.

Still have a bit of catching up to do on my normal/regular-form SIC collection (still need Kuuga Decade Edition, Agito, Den-O, Kiva), but I'm TOTALLY stoked for that SIC Wizard.

I'm a little bummed that they skipped Fourze for now, because I really wanted to see how they'd handle him with the SIC aesthetic.

They never make S.I.C. Riders in order.
In fact Fourze is still in planning stage. Not even a final sketch is available, according the Gojima.

You're right, they never did make them in order; Kabuto being one of the most notorious ones in that aspect.

But they were caught up (with older main characters) with the release of Kabuto, and they gaves us W and OOO in order as well; I figured it'd be good for business for them to release them to continue that trend.

According to Gojima there are certain limitation for making the figures.
The cost and play value of the figures are the main focus for the teams to look into.
Fourze at this point seems to be out of the question, due to the design and the accessories. From his words I think none of the teams are focusing on it at this time.

Both teams are busy with ZOID diorama for the upcoming anniversary.

Man... I should really go get a preorder in on Shin Zangetsu, huh?

Did, someone mention ZOIDS :D?! We needs a Zoids thread made in the General Discussion Forum ASAP :lol.

So is this the same logic for Ryuki?
