I know this isn't recent news or anything, but I was able to get a Gokai Yellow for $60+ shipping. Came in the mail yesterday and looks perfect and was unopened. I don't really want/need her darin though. But I was just stoked that I found her for relatively cheap.

The explosion effects are a bit rough looking but I still got them, I was mostly planning to use them for bike action because they totally look like every recent rider bike battle that takes place in a massive empty field.

Also of course they're perfect for after HISSATSU moments.

I'm really looking forward to doing photoshoots and photoshopping lasers in.

And it looks like my suspicions about Bandai's timing of the recent Drive release bonus pictures were correct: HobbyLinkJapan has Drive up for pre-order again.

I'm looking forward to the new effect....not like I'd be able to take a good shot....but I still want them.

Do you guys think if/when Ryuki gets a Shinkochuu Seihou release that we'll get a complete Dragredder or just Vent pieces?

A completely accurate Dragreder would be HUGE, but then I seem to remember him being a bit inconsistent with size depending on the demands of the scene/fight/drama/whatever.

Likely they'd do what Max Factory did, though, and only include his Vent gear. Which honestly, I wouldn't mind.

Much prefer a straight reissue though.

I don't see Ryuki as being in need of one. Mine is much closer in quality to the Gaim releases than to, say, W. They could correct the limited ankle articulation, but then we'd lose the metal feet.

If they make one, I'd expect it to be years down the road, after Decade, W, Wizard, and OOO.

I doubt Ryuki will get Shinkouchuu Seihou release since he's already a solid figure and looks faithful to the suit from the show. It would be a waste of time and money to renewal every figure. Just reissue Ryuki again if there's more demand for it. Don't fix something that's not broken.

The only riders that need renewals in my opinion are Agito, Decade, W, Gatack, OOO (I do think the head needs to be better), Ichigo from The First/The Next and Nigo from The First/The Next. Black, Black RX, Kabuto and Kuuga needed renewals because they are dated as hell and accurate enough in my opinion.

Ryuki is a complete waste of spot in that line. Current version is damn good already
