Both in May? Ugh, tough pill to swallow. But I think Chaser and the bike are worth it.

Thank you, Mashin Chaser. Thank you and probably your bike for making May an expensive month also after my April is already so horrendously bad. :P

Still doesn't really sit well with me that they're splitting the Midnight Shadow parts between the two. Oh well.

Really a gorgeous figure and since my opinion has improved so much on him since before the show started, I know it'll be a sure pick up. If I can nab a preorder heh.

Wait, the tire comes with the figure but the effect parts with the bike?

Pffft. Was gonna display my Drive with Midnight Shadow but I'm not buying the bike simply for that.

Want both, I need my purple goodness...

Nice to know May is still trying to murder my wallet.

Looks fantastic, shame about the Fourze-levels of accesory distribution though.

I hope the Tire Koukan distribution isn't going to be this ridiculously sleazy in the future...

Oh my word that is flaming gorgeous, Chaser's design is so wicked. Unfortunately for my wallet, the Ride Chaser looks amazing too, and just completes Chaser's badass look. The whole tire distribution thing does seem a bit off, especially with the splitting of the tire and the effect parts (although I suppose that anyone who gets the bike will be getting the figure already anyway), but is it just me that thinks that wht with the break gunner's ability to use shift cars, Chaser could work really well with midnight shadow? Either shooting some form of shuriken, or having the holographic ones to hold as Drive does. Maybe I just like the idea because of the colours matching :lol

Bandai you sneaky genius bastards...

NOW I'm actually considering the bike...

Machine Chaser looks beautiful... is it worth this guy over the TK?

Depends on what you want. The TK comes with all the weapons which can transform into another and has decent articulation. The FiguArt of course looks better, but you will have to pick up his weapons separately, or as we've seen so far, in the worst case as a part of random other figures.

I get both :3

Chase was a no-brainer, but now I have to decide on the bike too...

Yes, but I'm a cheap ass. I'll probably get the TK, if any. Maybe if I end up picking up ALternative, like I'm planning to do, I'll get ths guy to go with him.

If you only want one and don't mind the lack of details get the TK. As I said, comes with everything and has good articulation.

Thanks for the advice, Mr Kiwami :)

Oddly, this is the first time I've been seriously interested in picking up a Rider's bike, I think because it's used more consistently in the show than I can remember seeing before. Also, even as Rider bikes go, I think it looks great.

I realize that if I weren't fairly intent on picking up both of these, I'd be hopping mad about the tire and effects parts.

Looking forward to this figure, I'll prob be skipping the bike tho.

The inclusion of the shift cars with the bike only doesn't really bother me since I just wanted the midnight shadow effect parts for my TK drive. Otherwise, I really do like Chaser and will definitely be getting his figuart.

I really want him, I might look into it.

You have to get both tog et the Midnight Shadow parts? That is freaking lame as hell.

The Shadow parts coming with it seem weird but this is good. Really nice to see villain figures and Chase's detailed design really calls for the detail a Figuarts provides.
