I'm just glad we're getting him now, considering how much toy prices have risen steadily over the years. Like, if he gotten him a few more years later we might actually be screwed.

For reference, these are the base prices of all the Saber Riders (just their base forms):

Kamen Rider Saber Brave Dragon (3520 JPY)
Kamen Rider Blades Lion Senki (5500 JPY)
Kamen Rider Espada Lamp do Alangina (6600 JPY)
Kamen Rider Buster Genbu Shinwa (7150 JPY)
Kamen Rider Kenzan Sarutobi Ninjaden (6600 JPY)
Kamen Rider Slash Hanselnuts to Gretel (7150 JPY)
Kamen Rider Calibur Jaaku Dragon (7150 JPY)
Kamen Rider Saikou X-Swordman (7700 JPY)
Kamen Rider Sabela Konchuu Daihyakka (7700 JPY)
Kamen Rider Durandal Ocean History (11000 JPY)

They're not necessarily in correct release order, but the difference between prices a few years ago and now is insane.

But man they look great altogether.

The jump from 7700 to 11000 is brutal, partially because of the weakness of Yen?

Yeah paying 11000 yen for standard figuart even if it's an exclusive is crazy but I'm with everyone else though with just happy to finally get him to complete the SoL Riders.

What's even more crazy is the aftermarket prices like on Mandarake. I've been noticing recent releases being marked up to over 20000 yen mainly for Seihou releases.

I think it's more of popular characters or designs that are getting marked up and it's nothing new but shocking to see imo.

So if you miss out on a preorder you're more than likely gonna be spending some $$$ on the aftermarket if you're lucky to find one available.

I know it's nothing new but things feel different now with stuff instantly selling out everywhere almost...and I know Kamen Rider's popularity & recognition has grown a lot globally or atleast in the States but is it really that many people buying figuarts?

[Henshinmorph917]

Kamen Rider Gavv Blizzard Sorbet looks so great.

I'm happy to see they're starting to focus on getting mainline releases announced and confirmed at a more consistent pace just like back in the day.

Hope we see either Iron or Platinum Gotchard announced and confirmed soon

The figuarts does the design justice and the effect piece is much appreciated and I think a lot of us fans would like to see the return of effects parts included with releases.

Or bringing back the effect parts set just like they recently did for Xross Saber

The light-up heads that they seem to be dipping into now is alright but I'd much prefer effect parts

Any SS over 20000 yen except Armor Hibiki?

[velencourte]

Dunno about recent releases but I think Ultimate Kuuga/Daguva cost a pretty penny on the aftermarket.

Also in case anyone forgot we still don’t have Saber bike if we get it or not. With prices as high these days I don’t think it happened.

Saber’s Diago Speedy, Hibiki’s Gaika, and WHEREVER THE HECK IS OOO’s RIDEVENDOR/TORIDEVENDOR?????? Even Gotchard got a Ridermachine before these guys, feels strange posing Rider shots without bikes

Right!

What is a rider without his ride?

Sadly I dont think Diago Speedy is ever gonna get released, I suppose we should be lucky that Durandal is even being released. Cross Saber is a no brainer simply put it?s just a repaint with a little modding, I would have loved for the Feature version with Lion Seki and Lamp Alangina.
