Ugh. I hate Chaser Mach's design.

Musashi looks good

Conversely I hate Musashi & love Chaser Mach :lol

This is that decisive moment where our friendship hangs in the balance. :lol

A bit depressing that we're gonna go back to the "alternate forms are Web Exclusives" route again, but okay. Still, Musashi looks good. Hope the aftermarket prices won't be bad.

...We're seriously getting Chaser Mach this early? Before Type Tridoron? Hell, before, say, Gold Drive?

This is...why? Other than the fact that all the components already exist I mean. This is stupid.

Musashi looks pretty good, was hoping they would do the Damashiis as 2 packs to speed up the process but single releases are good too. Anyway, while he is cool, Musashi is still one of my least favorite forms in Ghost and his overuse has soured him on me a little. I won't preorder him, but yeah, hope the aftermarket is merciful.

Either way, eagerly expecting Edison and Newton.

I mean, between the three Riders we're getting something like 20 forms, most of which aren't seeing much use in the show in any case, so it wouldn't really make sense to release these at retail. We have three Riders, their bikes, and the main's upgrades. The release schedule is gonna be full as is. Musashi is important enough that I could have seen him getting a retail release, but even if it had it'd be an exception.

Hey! I wanted to rant about this with the exact same arguments! :lol

Kitbash Mach is stupid, and it's even more stupid to release him before actually important forms and characters. Bandai really screwed up with the schedule of the Drive lineup.

Ghost's alternate forms being Web-Exclusives isn’t really surprising. Definitely shit for people who want to collect those though.

I love both of these, I'll see if I can afford to Preorder them.

KITBASHING! That's the best way to describe some of these Drive designs. Ugh.

Funny that they spammed Musashi in the show but it's a we exclusive instead of wide release ....

Will Musashi be the only way to get the split swords?

wow, they actually made a Figuart of Mach Type DeadChase?

Ugh... Also disappointed Chaser Mach is happening before Type Tridoron.

Musashi's cool, but don't need it.

So that's two releases I can pass on I guess.

Nothing really to say about Chaser Mach, but Musashi looks awesome.

As much as I like Musashi Damashi, I'm trying to figure out what it is that makes him cost so freaking much....

Fair enough. Still, it's a little depressing to see. All I'm gonna hope for is that the aftermarket prices won't be too high for the alternate forms.

Why ask the question when you already know the answer?

Anyway, they're just trying to free up resources for that Kiva Figuart. It's juuuuust around the corner.

While I love Chaser Mach, I guess they are capitalizing on Chaser popularity more than anything else. Hopefully this doesn't mean Brain, Type Tridoron, and Gold Drive are MIA much longer. Musashi looks cool.. but still not sure I will be collecting any of the 15 heroic Eyecon forms. That's a lot of figures.

How?

I love the look of both of them.

I'm really surprised that Musashi is a web exclusive. Obviously, Ghost has a lot of forms that are only used once or twice (I can't imagine Beethoven ever being retail), but Musashi gets a ton of use. I was really expecting it and Nobunaga Specter to be retail.

Because that’s not the answer. They could've kitbashed Ryugen Yomi when Gaim was still running and yet they didn't. They don't release figures just because they have the resources ready.

True that :lol

The show just is doing absolutely nothing for me. Isn't endearing any of the designs to me in the process. If not for my compulsion to at least get the main and final forms of all riders, I wouldn't even have pre-ordered Ore Damashii at this point.

On the one hand, my wish for Superhero Time Figuarts news was granted. On the other hand... wow. It's hard for me to care about this month's releases. Musashi looks like a decent figure, but... I dunno, it's a Tire Koukan. It's Rod Form. Or an Arms Change without the absurd fruit fun. (It's also that I haven't yet decided that I actually *like* Kamen Rider Ghost.) Also, from what I can make out in that image, it's the damned drop-down hips again.

As for Chaser Mach. As much as I liked that scene, I thought the form itself was lame even at the time. Mach upper half, Chaser pants, got it.

This month has Spectre to save it. (Wow, I hope I start genuinely enjoying Ghost, or I'm gonna regret preordering the main Riders.)

I'm glad others are pleased, though. I wonder when Bandai will release Gaim Ichigo/Ryugen Kiwi, based on that tiny, I-hope-legitimate image from a couple of months ago.

I thought that Gaim Ichigo/Ryugen Kiwi would have come out after that image. I wonder why it did not hmmm

^^ This. Ugh. Musashi and Benkei are the two Ghost forms I wanted.

It's ~1000 yen more than the retail releases. Which is quite a bit, but pretty normal for web exclusives. That's why it costs so much.

It’s not really the 1000¥ only too; Middleman fees and a lack of a retail discount will make these hurt your wallet, as always.

Oh that's understandable

I completely agree. I love the color combination of Chaser Mach, and Musashi is my least favorite form of Ghost.
