SH Figuarts Izu
 

coming soon...

I like the trend of doing non armored figures Dan Kuruto was only the beginning

Actually, didn't they make Takeshi Hongo first?

Nope, it was actually Deneb from Den-O. And August 30th, 2008 at that. :lolol

Say what now?

I mean, I have REALLY been liking Zero One...

It pretty much single-handedly got me back into this whole thing.

But do I really want a Figuart of Izu?

...

Yes. Yes I do.

I'll try not to be bitter that she gets an SHF but Black Woz never did. I would have happily payed P-Bandai costs for a figure of Zi-O's gift to the world

Jesus, I honestly wasn't expecting Izu. At the same time I'm surprised I wasn't given how she's been popular enough to spawn other merch of herself before now.

Haven't been this tempted by a side-character release since they revealed Ankh.

My question is will she come with the alt hair and the baby bump? :lolol

the even better question is does she come with a ice pack for her head an check it outs jacket

i'm sorry , what ??

Major spoilers here, but Izu kinda looks pregnant here lol.

Maybe her actress is pregnant? IDK.

Ankh, now Izu...Ichijo please?

But I'll happily support side characters if they look good.

I suspected this would happen given the amount of merchandise this character received but I'm glad to see it confirmed. Will pick one up for sure, Izu rules!

For accessories I want the Attache Calibur in briefcase mode. Mostly for my Zero-One to hold it but we haven’t gotten it yet and it seems logical to include it here.

For more fun stuff - I personally would love a "brake" effect for her heels :)

Not the same character. The one you're talking about is called Azu / "As".

Shokichi Narumi needs to happen.

Kinda strange that this is the first thing I talk about on this thread; but apparently that's more to do with the camera angle or the way her clothes are bending or something. Nothing to do with her.



Regardless, this is awesome. Not something I personally want but I'm very happy to see the trend continue!

Was it stated on the recap specials? I skipped those.

No, her name was confirmed in the announcement of Episode 35.5 where she is set to appear.

Not for me, but cool development nonetheless!

i always love wondering how come they dont make more figures based on the riders regular selves an i remember "oh yeahhh recognition rights....an only 3 people would buy a figure of tenkugi takaru" lol
i like many would buy a woz.
i know kabutos exist cuz ofcourse it would.
sighhh

Also how impactful are they is another to consider since it's probably the reason we got God Kuroto in the first place. As for myself I would love to see Shokichi Narumi. :rock:

Right on time.

Oh man, that looks great, though the hands seem a little pale.


Excited to see what kind of accessories she comes with. Maybe the briefcase forms for the Attache Sword and Shotgun

Briefcase forms would be awesome

I can kinda see what you mean, though I think it's just the lighting.

Either way, yeah, looks fantastic!

Looks really cool, but the face doesn’t quite capture the character.

Figuarts human faces need some work still... I'm still on the fence about Izu, as much as I appreciate her in the show, do I want a figuarts of her just to stand next to my Zero-One? I feel like a Figuarts Zero would be much more appropriate, but I am happy she got a figuarts... so conflicted.

We got official images. Attache Case in suitcase mode confirmed.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eb9t-YVU...jpg&name=small

Wait, what?

The face looks lifeless. I suppose its kind of fitting sue to Humagears being robots (and the whole debate as to whether or not they can have life) but still! Maybe if they applied a different finish for the hair and added some subtle airbrushing to the cheek areas...

Also, where's the Figuarts Rise Hopper?

Hey uh, did we know pre-orders have gone up yet? Because I saw no release info yet... apparently they started on the 3rd! December release, 6600 yen

I mean yeah, I pre-ordered her last week :lol

I guess I just forgot to share the details… whoops.

Anyhow, first "human" SHF for me, kinda curious to see how it fares in-hand.
