*ahem*...

WANT

ok, I'm done...

I honestly don't think I've been this excited for upcoming Figuarts releases since I started collecting. I'm practically giddy.

Gaim's packaging in particular seemed to just jump out at me.

I'm glad I managed to get both ordered.

And both SHALL BE MINE! *Cackles* And I am so keeping these boxes. Solely because they printed a Banana and an Orange. How Juicy!

Awesome!

I'm only middle-manning these two for friends, but I can't help but react like this-

Me it now give.

Those are nice looking boxes

Can NOT wait!

You're getting the stage first edition items, shut up :lol

These look very nice, I'm looking forward to them. I especially like the Lock Seed window design. It'll be interesting to see if the exclusives have this as well or if they'll be like some of the more recent exclusives without a window.

Man, times like these I wish Bluefin can work things out with Bandai Japan.

Those are beautiful, I hope the rest of the line (exclusives too) uses this format, Bravo is going to be glorious!

Two things. What if Robo Ishtar was just a prototype to see if they could do it, and we'll soon see a SH Figuarts Suika/Watermelon Arms? And I think they'll handle different forms like OOO or W. By releasing two packs. Ryugen Kiwi, Baron Mango, will be solo releases. But for things like Ichigo and Pine they might do a dual exclusive release. Or for Figuarts like Baron Orange or Gaim Banana. Things like that.

The packaging is not what I was expecting. I like how the whole fruit thing is subtle here.

Did Baron ever actually use Orange Arms? I'd think they'd stick to combos that appeared in the series and movies.

I believe so.

Honestly, the boxes don't look that great to me. I feel like the text doesn't really fit with the color scheme and style of the rest of the box. Kind of a shame since SHF box art is usually great.
Figures themselves look awesome though.

This is news to me.

I don't think Baron's ever used orange arms in the show.

He hasn't.

Even if not, what stops them from releasing a double box Orange Baron and Banana Gaim?

They do. You just can't make it out in these pics.

And even if they didn't, I could fix that :lol

He didn't but Gaim did use Banana arms, let's not forget that :lol. Also THAT PACKAGING IS FUCKIN AMAZING :D!!!!

I want them and want bananas and oranges. =)

I'ma try and avoid saying how wrong that sounded :lol.

Considering it's my favorite combo, there's no way I possibly could forget.

Sent these to GreenLace... she has never seen Japanese packaging and now she can't get over how amazing they look. :lol

You might as well make Orange Baron a exclusive then, Bandai tends to stick with in show looks, the only time I remember them going out of that boundary was when they did Kamen Rider Cyclone since he only appeared in the novel and not in the show, and he was a exclusive.

Props in advance to the person who dashes into a store and says "Shut up and take my money!" when they buy these.

I could leave now and maybe make it to Japan in time for their street date, but I wouldn't have any money TO give.

Also I don't know how to say "Shut up and take my money" in Japanese.

Call yourself the Banana Man maybe they might understand that :p

I don't see how that's going to help.

Confirmed form usages!

Kamen Rider Gaim
- Orange (his default)
- Strawberry (aka Ichigo)
- Pineapple (aka Pine)
- Watermelon (aka Suika)
- Banana
- Lemon Energy (with his belt attachment)
- Cherry Energy (with his belt attachment)
- Peach Energy (with his belt attachment)
- Super Orange (aka Kachidoki)

Kamen Rider Baron
- Banana (his default)
- Mango
- Lemon Energy (with Genesis Driver)

Kamen Rider Zangetsu
- Melon (his default)
- Melon Energy (with Genesis Driver)

Kamen Rider Ryugen
- Grape (aka Budou, his default)
- Kiwi
- Melon Energy (with Genesis Driver)

Kamen Rider Gridon
- Acorn (aka Donguiri, his default)

Kamen Rider Kurokage
- Pinecone (aka Matsubokkuri, his default)

Kamen Rider Bravo
- Durian (his default)

Kamen Rider Knuckle
- Walnut (aka Kurimi, his default)

Kamen Rider Duke
- Lemon Energy (his default)

Kamen Rider Murika
- Peach Energy (her default)

Kamen Rider Sigurd
- Cherry Energy (his default)

So those are the only forms that I believe we'll ever see.

Does Ryugen's 3rd even really count? I mean for the character, sure, but seeing as he's using the Shin Zangetsu base instead of Ryugen, or even the same driver, I don't think it counts.

And I'd be surprised if we didn't see at least Gaim in Kamen Rider Ichigo Arms as far as Legend Rider forms go.

Not the exact wording, but the same message.
