S.H. Figuarts Mashin Chaser & Ride Chaser Official Images
 

Both coming as mass release items in May 2015, priced 4860 yen each.

Looks as though Midnight Shadow will be a first release bonus with Mashin Chaser, much like how Max Flare is coming with Drive.

Full story and images.

That has got to be a more beautiful thing than even Orange Arms Gaim. I love it.

Yeah that thing is just all kinds of awesome.

Every kind of awesome.

I hope Mashin Chaser comes with his Viral core weapons.

My guess would be if they were to come out they'd be in a separate set. Much like Beast's capes, or Fourze's switches.

May is going to be a hell of a month.

Want.

As you can see on the scans they will not be included with the figure. there will probably be a Web Exclusive set that includes his weapons.

Beautiful. I'll have to make do with the AC though. At least that comes with the weapons though :(

It sucks that they're making the tires preorder bonuses, but at least the figure looks really nice.

Holey Moley, this is pure awesomeness!!! If I can get only one s.h.f from the Drive line, it's got to be this one.

Definitely need him. Not just cause he's purple :lol

Need. Any clue when pre-orders start for these?

Don't think an exact date is up yet, but most likely the first few days of January.

Thanks :)

I'll just look out for these, I need Chaser and his bike, need!

ER mai gawd some one tell me when pre-orders go up X_X

Why make the Tire Koukans pre order bonuses?

Tire Sets most likely are not an option for Tamashii nations and neither is releasing multiple drives with a different tire included. So this way they can get out the Tires without really losing any money in the process.

A) As a means to get them out there to keep collectors happy
B) To give people more incentive to buy a range of characters
C) This is more cost effective than Fourze-style packs that won't sell on their own
D) All of the above :lol

But he doesn't come with any of his own tire weapons? That's pretty lame...

Although he does look gorgeous and I have definitely more than warmed up enough to the character to want this SHF for sure.

I'm sure that much like Beasts Mantles that the E-Circular for Chaser will be an exclusive set. Totally fine with that though as including it with him would've driven the price up quite a bit.

It'll be a fun night trying to nab both of these off of AmiAmi.

Totally would have paid 100 bucks for a complete set with bike and weapons cores

Oh boy that is gorgeous
The scheme for the tires seems pretty smart but I wonder how they'll keep it up- there are way more tires than there are figures to include them with. Maybe the more obscure ones will end up being released together in a Premium Bandai pack?

Oh my god I want this guy bad, I'm also glad that's how they're doing tire koukan releases.

But damn gotta be on the ball with this one. The midnight shadow effect is the only one I realllly want at this point.

Oh I do hope they get released somehow, but that doesn't mean I want to buy them alone. Because much like the mantles before them, being an exclusive set just for accessories means I won't be interested in the price they'll demand thanks to having to middleman.

Aww... But I just want Midnight Shadow!

Its time to save up, Chaser looks very nice!

Couldn't they have just sold him and his bike together?

Sucks that Midnight Shadow comes with him though as I have no interest in this one dimensional repetitive time filler.

What about the buyers who don't care about the bikes? I don't care for the bikes, so I don't buy them. I don't want to pay double for something that I won't use.

WHOA-HO BABY. That is METAL! I may have to get both versions of him. I don't think I've loved a Rider design more than I love this one in this instant. It's like the thing is MADE for me.

So basically, losers?

Kamen RIDER !!!

lol

BRAKE UP.

Looks awesome! Can't afford either of them, but still looks awesome!

The dude barely leaves his bike behind, so it would make sense. The bike is part of who he is. If he doesn't have it, he is just another generic villain.

The point still stands (Which I agree with): I don't want the bike, so I don't want a two-pack. I don't want another Garren situation where the only way for me to get the Rider is to pay extra to get the bike, too. I don't have the space for bikes, thus I only want the characters.

Whether the character uses the vehicle so much that it might as well be attached to them or not doesn't matter.

I know there are tons of people out there who prefer to just buy Riders without bikes and I completely get that. Totally respect the money & space issues. But for me personally I still don't understand why at least all main riders aren't 2-packs with their bikes. It's fine, I can pre-order them separately seeing as I have to in a situation like this. But when and where possible I'd always prefer combo packs over individual releases.

Hell if they re-issued Black renewal and Battle Hopper renewal in a $100 set I'd jump all over it.

The whole 2-pack/single release for bikes they're doing at the moment is a pretty good compromise for the whole situation. I just wish they'd do actual figure reissues alongside them all too (it only seems to be happening for the mass release bikes) but I guess too many variations would be them shooting themselves in the foot a bit.

I thought Garren was the best idea ever. It was bs they did not do that with Chalice and Leangel.
