[OptionZero]

Been hanging out in the Kyoruger forum and the Ep. 9 thread touched on how badly we're gonna be screwed when it comes to S.H. Figuarts Kyoruger figures.

We haven't seen any previews of these, have we? I have to re-watch the Akibaranger Season 1, Episode 2 and dig through some Tamashii exhibits threads, but I don't think Bandai has shown them off.

I am hoping they use a body with independent an upper bicep swivel, some of the recent ones just use a double ball-socket at the shoulder to achieve arm articulation don't really work for me. Since the Kyuranger suits don't have any stripes or patterns that would be interrupted by a cut for an upper bicep swivel, it shouldn't look out of place.

As for as accessories, at minimum Bandai should include:
- hands to pose them in all of their roll-call poses
- Gaburevolver
- Gabucaliber
- Gabucannon
- extra, armored right arm for "Armed On" mode
- individual weapon (shield, spike, blade, whatever etc) that can be combined
- a bunch of batteries and holders

First run bonus:
- stage that each ranger stands on while inside the mecha (like the Gokai Darins).

Would be nice but doubtful:
- translucent energy effects parts to simulate energy attacks/weapons firing

Releases:
Well, we'd all want all the rangers to be regular releases, but you know Bandai's gonna F- us. Best case scenario, we get Red, Black, and Green as regular releases, with Blue, Pink, and Torin as the quickest Tamashii Web Exclusives.

Maybe we get future Rangers (Cyan, Gold) and Deboss as full figures as Tamashii web exclusives, plus some Figuarts Zeros of the bad guys.

Any power ups (Red Carnival) for Red will probably be regular releases, with other colors being web exclusives. Bummer.

Maybe Bandai will surprise us and do two-packs of Green/Black and Blue/Pink as regular release?
