Are those all the pics they released?

I have a "mighty" need for those. Heh.

Seriously though, I must have those. Not only do they look perfect, but getting both at the same time is just awesome. I hope they will be released alongside each other - and soon.

Diend must be next after Decade; I hope they release Daguva & Ultimate Kuuga afterwards.

Today, yes. They released others in the past week from the same display but these are the best ones yet, and the only ones which show Specter and Yurusen in full.

Sadly nothing much from the Gaim, Drive or SIC display, they just reused the ones from their Twitter.

Man, all those Ghost figures look fantastic. Ghost and Specter look perfect, and all of the forms look equally great. This reaffirms that I need, at the very least, Edison and Newton. It really looks like they pulled off Musashi's head off very well and he looks really good, though. Now that I'm looking at Robin though, I feel like the part of the hoodie on the shoulders may restrict articulation some. He definitely doesn't look bad at all, though.

Honestly, I'm kinda surprised at how good the hoods really look on all of them. They look perfect. Now here's to hoping that Ghost Ore and Specter both have raised hoods too...

I'm weirdly excited the most for Kabuto's & Gatack's bikes. I don't even have room to display many bikes, but I love the look of those.

Man. Seeing them up close, the proportions and small details on Ghost are incredible. These figures are better than I could have imagined.

I especially love how well they captured the details on the face part of the helmets. I did not expect them to do that.

I'm only interested in the base forms of Ghost & Specter for now, I really hope they don't skimp on accessories like they did with Drive. Yurusen could be a first order bonus for Ore Ghost, I would be fine with that. But other than that Ghost needs the sword in normal and Naginata-mode. Specter needs his stupid weapon I hate (which seems to be the case) and maybe the Cobra Mobile in both cobra- and mobile-mode.

And they both need raised hoods. I don’t care if it's just clip on and not pegged in, they need it. That’s a real dealbreaker for me, no raised hoods and I’m out.

[IXRollOutIX]

I don't understand how not including raised hoods would be such a big deal, enough to break the deal on such a great looking figure. That's the point of the base forms; wearing the hood down is what makes those jackets special. Ghost only ever wore his hood up as Ore intentionally in Surprise Future, and never again. So why is it a deal breaking necessity?

[barnstenchfartface]

Hm. Looking at the Gan Gun Saber in that first pic of Ghost, it...it actually kinda looks like it has a joint in the handle? Which raises the question...I was not expecting the Saber to actually be able to change forms for the Figuarts, especially since the proportions change for all of them, but...hm. Pretty weird. In any case the bottom of the Saber is solid so it's not making a Naginata anytime soon.

Because it is, I want them. If they don't include them, I won't buy the figures.

But if you really want to hear a reason: Because it's super easy to do, they could give collectors another option with displaying the figures (raised hoods are a thing with these - I don’t care how rarely they have them up) and because these figures are way too expensive and collector-oriented to ignore this.

Expensive being the key word – I don’t have a huge income at the moment so I’m much more selective with my purchases. I didn’t buy a single Drive-figure for the same reason.

Fair enough.

While it would be a neat option, I personally would never display the figure like that and can understand why they wouldn't include such a thing. On the flip side though, I suppose I can see why people would be annoyed if it wasn't there at all. I guess I just don't care, either way. >shrug<
