Figuarts Kamen Rider Jeanne
 

orders begin tomorrow!

Damnation, this Figuarts will be coming in HOT

I wish she came with a tiny Lovekov (like, one that goes up to her knees) or the bazooka. Sucks that she comes with the Revice Slasher and the hammer that comes with Evil is a static object, when the Zero-One Twinblade and Saikyo Girade were capable of combining.

He comes with the Mammoth stamp, too. Still wondering what's their aim for releasing the extra stamps or maybe they're just flexing.

Ah well, I'm skipping her anyway, she looks perfect, but I'm too into her. Maybe I'll catch her in the aftermarket if she bodes well there.

Would have been cool if the hammer combined, but maybe on the show they have to do off screen mass change? I don?t mind the bazooka not being included, the fans were a must though

Might wanna scoop this one when you have the chance. I got the feeling this is gonna be this year?s Valkyrie/Horobi: huge jump in the aftermarket after release

It does in the show, yeah. But I think the Figuarts equivalent isn't quite reflective of that change in the height. Having it be a transformable weapon would be as easy as engineering a joint inside the hammer that lets it swivel and extend.

Her and Demons probably, yeah :lol
But yeah no, I'm keeping a distance on the Revice line in terms of SHFs. I gots Revice, Evil, and Demons, and I think that's enough for me, until probably Holy Live or Vail sweeps me over maybe.

I'm focusing on completing Saber's 10 swordsmen instead

Is Jeanne PBandai?

Yes. Any future Revice releases are pretty much all PB

Rider lines only get two retail releases, and both of them are revealed immediately at the start of the line. Unfortunately you just have to expect this

There have been exceptions, though I don't know if SS counts differently from SH in that regards. But W had Cyclone Joker, Fang Joker, and I think one if not both of Accel and Skull all as mass retail. OOOs had TaToBa and Tajador ... did it have anything else as mass retail?

OOO had the Ankh Arm as well, but yeah -- I guess I should have specified S.H. Figuarts mainline rather than Seihou. Retail releases there are also limited but they seem to usually get around 3, and are spread out a bit more

I kind of wish it got a regular release instead of being limited to Premium Bandai. I kind of find it sexist for Bandai to make a female S.H. Figuarts figure limited to Premium Bandai.

The majority of male Riders are P-Bandai exclusives now though, it's only the main Rider and one other who aren't, Vulcan, Blades, and this year the other main Rider, Vice. Now Sakura's belt being a P-Bandai exclusive, there's definitely an argument to be made for that having a sexist motivation

And I find it offensive that you typed out something this stupid when very many and very grave instances of sexism happen around the glove 24/7, yet this is what you decided to address.

Like, come on. This isn't sexist; this is a Rider who was unfortunate to not be among the first two to debut in their series, that's how this is decided nowadays.

Not really. More a "how does this fit into out play pattern and how long can we support it with more accessorie items"-kinda situation.

That's how they've done recent Rider SHFs. Only first two have a solid chance of being a retail release. Tertiary Riders straddle between retail and exclusive, though with it leans heavily towards the latter. Snipe and Woz are like, the only tertiary Riders that I can think of that had gotten a retail release in recent times.


No, there isn't. We've had plenty of belts/transformation devices be P-Bandai exclusives before, be they used by male characters or female characters.

I can't think of any time recently that the Tertiary Rider, who seems to actually transform more than the secondary, has their belt not be retail though. It seems odd

Wow lol, calm down. By that logic why are you focusing on their comment when there's way worse things in the world?

They designed most of the toys and the way they would be supported in advance. Sakura's belt was designed with no further upgrades in mind they could sell.

Evil/Live had additional items they could sell for their Driver planned. Does it make sense from the focus given in the show? Not really. But it ultimately just comes down to selling toys, as always.

I'm sorry, but in what world does this bullshit comment not make your blood boil? It's beyond stupid. So stupid that it makes me feels awful to see this being put on the same pedestal as the issues that actually need to be addressed.

Because it's just some random comment from someone who doesn't necessarily know everything about Figuarts release schedules and is easily ignored. I don't get how you'd get angry at that, though on the other hand I just knew a big fuss would kick up about it. There's a reason I don't come here for much anymore outside of SHF news

It would be if they didn't decide to use that word. It's has absolutely nothing to do with this, and no knowledge of the matter is required to see that.

Because important topics shouldn't be dragged through the mud like that. Because they shouldn't even be mentioned for some trivial ass issue that has nothing to with it.

And I leave it at that, this is turning into something a mod needs to clean up and I feel bad about that too. Should've ignored this for sure, but some things just get to me on a personal level and this does.

Honestly I think that's just reading a liiiiiiiiittle too deeply into what ultimately is a toy release-based thing. Like is this really something that warrants it?

But yea, this was definitely something that I'll have to drop, too. Don't want to get too deep into something that'll inevitably become worse the longer it goes.
