Ah, this is another Golden Week thing with unlocking bonuses on the website and revealing more infos about the figure, right?

Cool stuff. Getting this one for sure, I plan to display him being choked by Metal Cluster Hopper :lol

Other than his weapon, I don't know what would be exciting enough to hide in four out of five of those 'mystery' boxes.

He looks really good though! Ever since Gai stopped frustrating me in the show, I've been able to appreciate Thouser as a design again instead of seething with rage at the sight of him.

Lolll premium bandai. Guess we're stuck with 2 retails this series

I am so excited for this. He's not a "dark rider" per se,but...he fits the bill close enough, right?

Now I should catch up so I can finally see this guy and hate him...

Hope the aftermarket isn't too bad... Being that his character's not generally well-liked.

what else could they reveal other than the Thousand Jacker tho? A Zetsumeriser to slap on other figures? A raidriser? A ZAIA spec?

Oh by the by, it's already reached 5K tweets but they still haven't posted anything

Please send us a picture when you do. :D

1000 RT = Thousand Jacker
2000 RT = It has Shining Assault Hopper? I'm guessing the funnel effect parts
3000 RT = ??
4000 RT = ??
5000 RT = There is what seems to be a blank body/black body with gold high lights. Seems to be either Shining Hopper or maybe a Zetsumeriser belt accessory.

They posted a few more pictures, showing off his wacking stick:

So, then, I'm guessing the other two last pics are just showing off the details and what nots of the Thousand Jacker and Thouser, huh? Damn, I was hoping for somethin.

When Bandai takes a step forward by giving Vulcan Zero-One's weapon and then pulls a Build by making all the other riders P-Bandai. It's utterly frustrating.

Bandai wants everything to be P-Bandai.

Oh well better start saving up for MetalCluster Hopper.

Anyway anybody noticed those textures on his chest? I don't think they were there on actual suit.

The packaging for this is going to be bananas.

It been like that since Gaim. Heck even ghost and ex-aid riders were webshop like laser bike other forms. It nothing new why get angry about this when it going on for years now. It safer to be webshop than retail we don’t want the line to fail like what happen to ghost line. IMO if it too much to deal with just don’t buy it and there be no frustration.

At this point this it the normal for rider figuarts with it being a small group or multiple riders. In the future I see the same for new rider shows as well.

Most shows since Ghost get 3, MAYBE 4 retail releases.

Zero One has had only 2.

It probably will not have the Bandai logo and have the Zaia logo. Only then can it reach 1000%. :lolol

Basically this is a campaign they are doing with milestones based on the 5 round battle they had during the show. For every 1000 retweets Bandai reveals a new sample picture it seems.

You use Gaim, Ghost and Ex-Aid as examples when in Gaim and Ex-Aid's cases we got more than two riders released at mass retail and in Ghost's case, it wasn't a popular series and got very little in terms of releases.

I get that P-Bandai stuff has become more normal but when you have 6 main riders announced and only two of them are retail, I don't see why anyone wouldn't be even a bit annoyed at that decision. Didn't stop people from getting annoyed about how practically every Build release after Base, Night Rogue and Cross-Z Charge was a P-Bandai exclusive.

Especially when last series, all 3 riders' base forms got released at retail. And Woz even came with all his stuff, book aside.

Even if they have been on the premium train for ages, doesn't mean it's not getting worse. And it's hardly unreasonable to want it reversed -- especially when pre-orders of pretty much every single SHF Rider retail release sells out in a matter of minutes!

Uh the show did not start with 6 main riders. First 3 zero one, wolf , and valkiy. After the 5 ep the pink and purple riders came a bit later so that different and why webshop. The 6 one was in ep 15 to late to release as retail. Like I said with Gaim and ex-aid which is a multiple show not all were retail again lazer, gemn, webshop. Again bravo, squirrel rider came later webshop. It nothing new this is normal it will not change as far as bandai see it so that just how it Is. Also getting angry about it will do nothing why cause bandai will not change what works for them.

With Zi-O it was an anniversary rider show so all main riders get retail different show for release. Also might be that the new era in Japan bandai does release differently like wolf having zero one sword.

They updated the page acknowledging the 5k retweets, but the last two images won't be revealed until the 10th and 11th respectively.

Eh, kiiiiinda figured that Thouser might be a P-Bandai 'cuz he'd be painted with a loooooooooot of gold, and gold-painted SHFs tend to be P-Bandai releases. Blade King Form, Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer, Grease, Beast's SS update, most of the Garo releases, so it wasn't a surprise. Sad that this means that Zero-One only has two retail releases, but eh, what can you do? Wonder when we'll be seeing Ark-Zero's SHF though, and if that will be a regular release. : P

Thouser wasn't particularly high on my list of SHFs to get, anyways. That would be Metalcluster Hopper and Rampage Vulcan, not to mention whatever Zero-One's final form will be.

Oh, that's... weird. Wonder if there IS something significant coming.

inb4 this is how they reveal Zero One's final form (inb4 it's just Metal Cluster Hopper but with all the belts)

Literally no one is angry, showing disappointment is not anger.

Gaim started with 4 main Riders, those Riders were all retail. Zero One from day one had the 5 riders as focal points in the marketing,so yes, it started with 5 main riders.

I just want Valkyrie to be a regular retail release, so at least I can have all the Zero 1 Riders that appear in the Oronamin C commercial.

Might take a year or more depending on when Metal Cluster comes out but I will! :)

A very specific yet perfectly fine reason to have :lol

The 4k picture is this extra right hand.

The last picture will reveal what this hand is supposed to hold.

Gonna hold all the embarassment from constantly being clowned on.

The last picture looks like Thouser's probably slapping a... belt (Zetsumeriser? Too many belts!) on someone.

I assume it's the folded up Amazing Caucasus key, since he plugs it into the ThousandJacker for one of his finishers.

If it's just a key, that's a hell of a let down and the whole teaser campaign a waste of time... Of course he'd come with the keys.

Does look a lot like it could be him holding a belt. That would be cool. No idea what I'd do with it, but cool to have heh.

Well the blurred out photo LOOKS like a body-kun reacting to Thouser putting a raid rise belt on them. Though it could just be my mind playing tricks on me. There’s a golden looking arm coming from the right of the photo and a body to the left. So I have a feeling he’ll come with a Raid Riser. Which would be an interesting addition. I wonder if it’ll be an accessory that other Figuarts can wear, or just the buckle.

A Raid Riser would actually be an accessory I have absolutely zero use for. I don’t have nor want to own blank bodies and it doesn’t make sense on any other figure really.

I could do like one shoot in which I pose Thouser approaching Valkyrie with it as a nod to the Fighting Jackal Raider. Other than that? Nothing.

But hey, it would be an actually accessory that isn’t tied to the bare necessities of the suit so that’s nice. If I had to choose I would pack an effect part with him to go over the tip of the Thousand Jacker for the moments where Thouser steals technology.

Welp, it is the Raidriser.

I am gonna look this gift horse in the mouth and say that while the Raidriser is 'neat', there's nothing to really do with it other than have Thousder just hold it in and be like 'yeah I have this'. It's not even particularly cute or funny like Mole Amazon's burger.

Again, cool that we get an actual accessory that can be used in creative ways for once, but too bad this one is entirely useless to me.

Maybe this is a sign we'll get more unique accessories that aren't collectible items or weapons.


I still think two of the coolest figuarts accessories are the wine glass that came with Bravo and the Ramen bowl that came with the OG Hopper bros.

The only signs this is getting is a potential Jackal Raider or Battle Raiders (god please).

Its a sign of Horseshoe Crab Raider getting a release.
