S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Geiz Revive Shippu Teased
 

Release Info Pending.

It'd be interesting if they tried to replicate both modes in the same release. Seems feasible - swap a couple of parts - but I kinda doubt it, since Bandai hasn't so much been into value-add stuff for their main Kamen Rider Figuarts, and they can rarely resist re-using a mold, to which Geiz Revive lends itself well.

Much as I enjoy gimmicks, Geiz Revive is one of those ones where I just don't think it's feasible with a figure trying to replicate the costume and having as much articulation as possible. Much like the Gaim figures I feel it would just be a bit too intrusive; so while I'd love a gimmick figure, it would get in the way of the main aim.

Now if only there actually was a figure at this scale that had that gimmick. Damn you RKF.

Quite surprised Shippu is being teased before Goretsu.

Wish I could afford exclusives.

Looks like parts swapping!

Alright, Figuarts is REALLY starting to go in on alt-form gimmicks. First Ultraman, then OOO, then Evol; now this?

I think they both found an engineering style that works for their line now and have found a way to ensure sales without over-saturation. I'm more than happy with this decision to embrace part-swapping on Rider figures, especially when forms share the same overall base.

Aw..if Bandai make a Renewal version of Gaim Figuarts, I hope the renewal version of Gaim Figuarts will be have armor swapping..:D

The only thing I'll say is that I hope there's a lot more Geiz Revive Figuarts made than if it was two separate figures -- because there'll be many people looking to get two.

This is great to see happening with Rider Figuarts. It gets all the forms out in just one release. This will help complete the Zi-O line much faster. That's 3 Riders with gimmicks release we have so far. I can see a lot more happening in the future.

This is what I was hoping would happen!!

Aw hell yeas!!

That looks really cool! I haven't watched Zi-O but I did pick up the base form recently because of how cheap it was so I'll keep an eye on this one. Haha.

Oh heck yeah, it's very nice to have a single quintessential Geiz figure. If I could figure out any easy way to do it, I'd find a way to print out a little yellow sticker to stick on his right Ridewatch and it'd pretty much be flawless to me.

This is great, exactly what should be done more often, and it’s much better than having to buy two figures for both forms. Their recent track record indicates that this will be a trend going forward and I'm very happy with that.

I personally will skip this as I have no desire to get anything Zi-O but if my Ultraman X is any indication this will be a joy to handle, the swap-out parts work perfectly on that one.

This is cool, I really like that you get both forms in one figure versus two figures. I know that they are doing this with OOO and I’m happy to see it with Geiz Revive. I’ll definitely pick Revive as I do like the suit...so I hope that Woz gets the same treatment for his forms and I hope for a Grand Zi-O SHfiguarts.

WozGingaFinally should be one release too; they only really need to change the heads and the image in the belt.

That one I’d like to see myself but for some weird reason the final forms just don't get released anymore, Type Tridoron was the last.

Although Grand Zi-O not being a thing wouldn’t surprise me personally, sculpting 20 tiny Rider statues for one figure sounds expensive.

Between this and what they're doing with OOO, this makes me hopeful for a different future release - Parad's original form. We know Bandai did prototypes for Perfect Puzzle/Knockout Fighter, but they appeared to be separate figures. Hopefully this willingness to be more modular with the Figuarts figures means one day we can get both as a single modular figure.

I'm a bit conflicted. On the one hand I want this for my collection because it looks like such a great figure (plus Geiz Revive is one of the handful of Zi-O suit designs that I don't dislike).

On the other hand I haven't been collecting Zi-O stuff, and Geiz Revive looking lonely will only make me go and spend more money.

Hopefully the RRP will be high enough to remove temptation.
