Blade looks rally kool even if the fance is not much I can see it a nice likeness to a manga style look of the actor.

I'm not too knowledgeable on the Kiakider end of things, so is that a suit from the show or the manga? Blade Broken looks pretty cool though. I'm shocked it's a retail though, I would have figured it would be something more akin to a web exclusive. Of course now I'm wondering if we'll get a broken Garren, and where the hell Wild Chalice Form is at :lol

:O

That helmet is gorgeous.

But there's no way I'm buying Blade again literally just for a new head...

Edit: Ignore what was there about retail before. :lol Yeah, total exclusive material. And is pretty cool. Just not one I'll be going after.

Just had to fix that, Blade is an exclusive as well. The logo was cut off.

Fuck that Blade Broken looks sexy even just for the head. I hope we get a Garren Broken too.

boy am I glad that I passed on the first version of Blade.

Oh god.
The things I'd do just to get that Blade.
I don't care that I have the normal SHF and it's just a new head, but my goodness, I want that so badly!
If I could get a Garren version, too~

Wait, how big is that SSJ3 Goku...?

Jesus, I want that blade....URGH ALL FOR A BROKEN HELM BUT DAMN IT LOOKS SO GOOD, I wonder if it'll come with anything extra?

Also oh man yes I hope this means a garren one is incoming as well! He is the true broken helm master.

Yea. But dat Vegeto and SSJ3 Goku! Those I need.

Instead of reissuing Blade, they do a stupid broken version? It's cool for fans who want to complete everything. I do wish that they reissue the normal edition. Some times Tamashii choices for web exclusives confuses me like the reissues of Faiz and Amazon where you have to buy the bike in order to buy them as web exclusives.

Blade already got reissued though so no point reissuing another time

Exactly. And this is a limited web exclusive for the Blade completionists out there. Regular Blades can still be found elsewhere for those interested.

So, is this Blade going to include what the original Blade release had (splayed cards for the Rouser, broken earth to insert the rouser into the ground, lightning effects) or is it just a vanilla release with a new head?

Not sure yet, but my money's on bare bones accessories with the new head.

While we are on the topic of renewals, I'm starting to collect the main Heisei riders and I'm curious about which ones may be up for renewal so I don't buy the old models. Aside from Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, and now Kuuga; should I hold off on buying anything Decade and earlier?

I would say you should definitely pick up Ryuki, that mold/line is IMO the best Figuarts has to offer. As for the rest, I say if you like the suit/character/show, go ahead and pick the SHF up. The only ones I'd stay weary of our probably Agito, Decade, W, and OOOs.

That Blade with his broken face figure is totally badass. I love it.

I figured since Ryuki is fairly recent it should be on par with the new models so that is a buy for me. The only reason I wouldn't pick up just anyone I like is because if they release a newer one I'll be kicking myself. Definitely waiting on those four you mentioned as they could be improved and just might be.

It's Kikader's younger brother who is the main character in the sequel series, Kikaider 01.

And yessssss! As soon as Tamashii Nations hits up one of my dream figures (the B-Fighters) they hit up the one that replaces it in my top 5. I'm not as into the show as much as I was the original but I cannot wait for 01. Here's hoping the Kikaider side of things doesn't stop there.

Blade looks really neat too. Probably not a figure I'd buy but its great to see something a little different for once.

god dang!, they are really cranking out kikaider stuff. kikaider must still be popular or something. all that's left from that is kikaider 01's bike, bijinder and her bike, along with the hakaider squad. so now that is 2 down and 2 to go for that let's go kamen rider seen. come on inazuman and zubat!

I knew it. I knew this would happen as soon as I broke down and bought Blade (granted that was two months ago).

Ah well.

I hope this Blade Broken leads to other heros getting released with busted visors. I'd be really tempted to get a Garren Broken.

Much as I like this I'm going to pass.

The idea of a broken helmeted Blade is down right incredible, but I don't care for the animated look they gave him. Of course, it matters not because he is a web exclusive and not worth going out of my way to get just for an alternate head.

Anyway, why are they milking Blade when they still have yet to do Wild Chalice?

I wonder what the chances are he'll come with a normal head too.. Probably not very high. I only got into Kamen Rider with Gaim and have just now started back tracking and collecting older figures. Even if he does have two heads, I would want two figures so back to hunting for SHF Blade lol..

I'm super excited to see Kikaider 01. I can't believe some of the stuff Bandai has been doing lately, it makes me so happy.

Not going to buy that version, but it's really cool.

The head looks great, but I'm not sure if it justifies rebuying the whole figure. If they release a Broken Garren eventually, though, I'm totally in on that one.

I am so glad I haven't seen much of Blade, or I'd probably be tempted by broken Blade. As it is, I don't need any of these.

Except Vegito.

I hope Ichiro doesn't go up for pre-order too soon as I am strapped on cash till Christmas, cause for some glorious reason, I have a mighty need to get everything kikaider.

I don't like that broken Blade and I'll explain why. From what I can see, and I might be wrong, the base figure is the same as the Blade that was already released. Just with a broken helmet. So you're paying full exclusive retail for something they could've added in an effects set or with the Blade figure that was released already. It just smacks of them screwing people over.

the way the heads can pop off...I'd actually buy a set of broken helmeted rider heads.

I was literally just thinking yesterday that an unmasked/battle damaged G3 would be awesome. Seems Tamashii Nations had a similar plan.

Well yeah, that is the main issue. However, it's not like people are being forced to buy him.
