Just gonna say - switching out lower and upper body part is not beneath them anymore.

What speaks against this theory is that the main Rider needs to be dirt cheap at retail so it's probably just Boost & Magnum yeah.

The thought that crossed my mind though is what they would've done with this show like 9 years ago. They probably would've released every single form as its own figure. Every. Single. One.

You would've had 4 different Geats to start, and then everyone in their base form plus very form change, and that's only the first handful of episodes covered

They released around the same timeframe most main Riders were IIRC, but they were announced very late. I wonder if the same will happen with Geats.

Lol tell us about it lol and every form would of been retail probably

I think the amount of time it has taken so far for Rampage to even be teased suggests that Xross and Tategami will not be launching any time soon. I wouldn't be shocked if they quietly stopped at Primitive.

I would definitely be interested in an Entry Form set! They did it for Metal Build, so why not.

Yes! And you would have special stands and slews of accessories and... man I'm getting nostalgic.

I shouldn't though, the figures look and articulate 100x times better nowadays, that's ultimately what counts more for me.

It has become more and more apparent that final forms with their intricacy that demands a higher price point is something that needs a long time to be figured out properly. They were a bit transparent with that when Build Genius finally went up, and since then I can kind of understand the wait.

Same. Maybe a "standard" Geats for retail and an Entry Form with swappable Boost & Magnum armor for PB? Although the tooling would be insane either way since you can't just make two different Geats altogether.

I don't see them quitting on the Saber line at all. I know some people didn't enjoy the series but the suit designs were all instant hits imo and have translated well to figuarts form. I am a bit disappointed we haven't already had at least Primitive Dragon released by now or confirmed. I know and understand why they rushed out the Espada Arabina Night figuart but they could of annouced both since the mold exists.

I definitely feel they should bring back effect sets or more universal effect parts again. I agree about appreciating how detailed and better proportioned and articulated modern figuarts have become in the main line.

Final form releases have been broadly consistent with one a year for the last few years, just Genius and Grand were swapped in order (I always assumed, based on no real evidence, that this was for anniversary reasons).

Reiwa final forms have so far been less shiny and elaborate than late Heisei - I think the issue now is more that there are just too many riders and forms.

[Kurona]

Yeah, I was wondering if they'd do anything for Geats' forms but then I realised the main rider base form pricepoint. I'm not expecting anything impressive but I would like to be surprised

[ShiShiLeo]

Revice base form was so much better than Saber. I feel like Bandai learned their lesson there. The primary rider Figuart needs to absolutely wow people and hit with that intro pricepoint.

Geats is a great design and nothing overly complex (single color hands, 1 tampoprint max, no tiny gimmick) but the gun does seem essential and we also have the heated exhaust pipes and wrist gun gimmicks.
