I wouldn't mind for a SH Figuarts Proto Drive.

Soon every release is going to be an exclusive.

Oh okay, that's why the show was mentioned with these items in particular. I simply thought they would be announced at the show, since none of these are things I wouldn't see being sold as Web-Exclusives.

Oh well, I don't need any of this so I don't care about missing out. But for the people who want it I hope these will be sold in limited quantities at the Web-Shop later.

Yes cant wait for this.

Not really all that surprised. I'll be honest, if one pops up on Mandarake for a good price later on, I'd probably pick it up.

Not surprise since we got Baron Lemon Energy Arms last year. Not to mention Proto-Drive would be a very easy figuart to make since he is a repaint.

No he is a retool. The head has no spoiler and the tire is different. Although they can take the sculpt-work from this and reuse it for Gold Drive, or maybe they are already doing it the other way around.

I'd be down for it, I love Chase in all his forms.

Would make complete sense as the exclusive honestly.

Cool, I'm down.

I wonder what the Dark Flame will look like, and I'm curious what other exclusives will be offered (SIC mainly).

Sounds cool. I'm not really interested in Proto-Drive (I don't like the spoilerless ears he's got) but it's still cool to see the Drive line doing more stuff.

I've never seen proto-drive before so I looked it up, it's actually a really cool design and I kinda wish that's what Drive really looked like. The little Batman ears are kinda odd, though.

*looks up Proto Drive* 'tis very interesting. I like the look, despite that damn tire being on the chest. I guess because it doesn't look all that much like the other tires. And bat ears, Split? I would call those more of a horn variety.

Like some others I called this months ago, so it's not really much of a surprise.

I may be down though. I'd like him but it depends how easily attainable it is (or more when middlemen get their stock in).

Yeah, the tire looks less like a tire and is way smaller, so it works for me.

Yeah, horns/ears. They look a little odd, but I guess it's because I know that helmet's supposed to have a spoiler on the back.

I like the horns. And I never really cared for the spoiler on the back of the head.

Not too much of surprise here. Don't know if I'll be getting him personally, Mashin Chaser and Kamen Rider Chaser will already kinda satisfy my need for the character on my shelf.

Kinda glad that it isn't Gold Drive since that means he'll likely be a regular Web exclusive. Plus it's an easy repaint considering he's just Proto-Drive with regular Drive's head.

There are teaser pictures now.

Proto Drive Shadow Stormtrooper Black Flame Effect.

Whelp. Gimme. XD

Can not wait to get this incredible badass in hand.

How are people thinking of getting it? Last time with Baron I went through yahoo japan auctions which was a bit of a hassle. Which middlemen should I keep an eye on?

I would honestly just wait until he pops up on Mandarake. It would happen soon enough and, hopefully, he won't be as crazy as Baron was originally in terms of price.

Yeah, I'll be going through Mandarake too. I got one of the earliest listed Barons last year, so I figure that'll be my best option for Proto.

Seeing the Dark Flame effect now, damn I wish I had enough room for a dedicated "purple" Rider shelf.

Wonder what else Proto-Drive will come with.

That looks awesome, I guess this means we'll eventually get Gold Drive.

N-Y will probably get some stock in around November-December, if Lemon Baron was anything to go by.

I love the dark flame effect.

I must have Chase. That leaves me just needing a Roidmude form of Chase. Since Bandai will never make depowered Rider figures.

Proto-Drive is officially on display!

That is one sexy as fuck Figuart.

I must have it.

Your damn right it is!

Man I can not wait to get that sexy thing.

Dammit! Why am I cursed so?! This is like the ONLY Drive Figuarts I would want. And I don't have a job to make money to buy one!! *falls to knees, pulling on hair, screaming in anguish*

Yeah, that looks incredible. Can't wait for it to appear on Mandarake, I'm definitely going to get this one.

I love the box art and the figure looks amazing.

Looks like a pretty cool figure, but yeah. Still not really interested. I still don't like the ears, and the color scheme is just a bit dull. It doesn't help that since he never had any tools of any kind and had very limited screentime in general he's most likely just going to come with the same accessories as Drive. Not really into that.

I imagine he'd look pretty cool with Midnight Shadow, though. Too bad I don't have that...

This looks sooo good. I really want it but I have a problem with getting two of the same character. I already have mashin chaser... but he looks so good.
