I see. It's now that I wish the Myth Cloth line was part of the SHF branch, because I really need a Pegasus Seiya ...

The Geats Fever forms seem spectacularly ill-judged to me. I mean, I know these things have to be designed well before the related episodes would air, and I'm sure they appealed to Bandai due to how much re-use they could do given the existing released forms. But Fever sure is looking like the Build Sparkling of this series. Appeared for five seconds, then instantly abandoned for the cooler Command forms.

Probably has something to do, too, with the "revolve change" feature not necessarily working as well in practice as on paper. Boost works as an upper or lower form, and I guess there's a tenuous argument that Magnum-lower lets you shoot with your feet. You know, because of all those times when it's preferable to fire a gun with one's feet. But Beat, Zombie, Monster, and Ninja lower bodies just seem sorta pointless.

I wonder if Bandai will decide not to release the Fever forms if their flash-in-the-pan status persists in-show.

They can easily release Geats Boost Magnum form with extra parts to make Fever forms.

Geats also has notably less ground to cover -- the only other major things they have to do at this point are Nago, Punkjack, Glare and Gazer. So Boost Magnum is shockingly likely, and I have to assume that since both that and Kotaro were notably shown off; they'll be the 'reveals' at next Preban lab.

(Also Command but I'm assuming they won't do that, like how Revice had an early series upgrade they didn't do because it would inevitably be forgotten about and would require two figures rather than one)

[Rabbitman]

As a huge fraud who bought a bunch of Kamen Rider Build SHF figures without actually watching the darn show, I would like to say that Build Sparkling is one of my favorite forms of his on the old shelf.

Hey, one of my favorite Revice forms was Jack Revice and he was only there for a quick second. I actually watched that show too.

But I get it if the forms only showed up for a little bit like the geats fever forms it is a bit weird to make figures of them. I think I like Boost Boost the best between the two.

Maybe the fever forms will come back with some sort of plot significance right at the end of the show, like the chibi ex-aid forms did in ex-aid. Then we can all be proud of having the fever form SHFs.

Thanks for this link. Man, some of those early shfs were rough. Also, that’s a sweet Green Goblin they got in the Spider-Man display. Hope they commercialize it.

[Shin Henshin]

Even if Fever is a transition form into something like the Command buckles, it's still a form that 1.) some collectors would honestly want and 2.) give more options to the revolve change gimmick the SHFs already have. People are gonna want Boost Magnum, so why not make it the Fever release to kill two birds with one stone and get sales for extras from people who may wanna display all the combinations.

It's no different from how they released SS Den-O Plat Form and then rereleased it with retooling and some extras so you have to buy one of each type to display all four main forms.

[Sheepweaver95]

I can see the logic. As much as I like the Revolve Change gimmick, some forms are going to be more desirable (no pun intended) than others.

[Kurona]

Something I just realised today: the RCF line being back to (more or less) SHF scale means that the bike will be SHF scale!! Now I'll be surprised if Geats SHFs can actually hold the handles solidly enough, but it should certainly provide a cheap alternative to an eventual actual SHF release that also has a transformation gimmick SHF might not include.

(and if Saber and Revice are anything to go by, it might be a long, long time till a SHF Boostriker anyway...)

Tamashii recently posted this. Thought it was interesting.
