Need it. But I need J more.

I think we all need J. Shame we can't get a giant J though...would be great if he was to be exclusive that he comes with some building parts.

Shin already got released as a web exclusive a few months back.

Or they could make him as big as the Itasha Robo. Not big enough to be considered giant, but still bigger than normal. Or they could do that if they decide to do more Kiva characters with Kamen Rider Arc

Maybe Giant J can work as a Figuart Zero, maybe have him be 24 inches. If NECA can do large scale figures then maybe Bandai Tamashii Nations can do the same too.

I plan to pick up Sun Vulcan because I always dig his design and I want a complete collection of the red rangers. Some people are upset that they pick Sun Vulcan over the other teams, but people forget how popular Sun Vulcan is. It's the third Super Sentai show with the highest ratings in history. The show was popular enough that it almost came out in the US in the early 80's. I remember reading that Stan Lee pitch a English dub to HBO and they turn it down saying it was awful.

That has no bearing on his question. His point is that thus far, Shin is the sole exclusive Showa Rider, as all the others are only variations or reissues for the sake of bike releases.

It would be very odd if ZO got the mass-release treatment and not J, so I'd expect Shin to maintain that distinction. We'll see.

J was the last rider created by Shotaro Ishinomori and J was also very popular too. Shin doesn't seem to have a very good rep with Rider fans which can explain why he was a web exclusive. Maybe they can have a giant version of J be a Figuart Zero web exclusive.

Holy crap!

Sun Vulcan.

So we're finally getting some more Sentai releases...just on occasion now.

Heck, Sun Vulcan would be the easiest to complete given there is only three members.

Hey, caught this this afternoon. So I guess, for now, Sentai Figuarts are in stable condition.

Wow! didn't know that. That's an interesting factoid.

Hibiki is back up for preorder on Amiami if anyone missed it.
