For some reason this almost looks better than the actual suit to me.

So, like Dead Heat, it looks like Toukon Boost is a mass release.

Which means that Grateful is probably going to be a Web Exclusive.

Which means we ain't never gonna see Mugen.

Toukon Boost has a cool design to it in my opinion. So I'm happy that it will be a retail release.

Oh, I think it's miles more worthy than Dead Heat was, design-wise. But I don't understand why they keep making an intermediary form a mass release and the proper "Super" form web exclusive- they'd been getting it right since Fourze, I don't see why they'd want to change the pattern.

Admittedly though, this is all based on speculation.

I don't think we have a reason to assume either Grateful or Mugen will be web exclusive right now. One or the other may be, but so far this is just the fourth retail release in the Ghost line. Necrom will probably be a fifth, but there should be at least 2 more figures after that (hopefully; both Gaim and Drive had 7 retail Figuarts). So say we have 2 left, what are they gonna do, Deep Specter and the Machine Hoodie? It seems more likely to me that we may finally see all 4 of the main Rider's main forms released this year.

Or at least I can hope.

In any case, I like Boost more than Grateful, and honestly considering Boost has pretty much completely taken over the "default form" role for Takeru at this point in the show, I would have been bummed if it was web exclusive. Definitely a more relevant form than the past couple of early upgrades.

edit: though...are we sure he's a retail release? The price listed is exactly the same as the web exclusive Musashi, about 1000 yen more expensive than Ghost and Specter. Why would he cost so much...? Hm...starting to worry now.

Toukon Boost my favorite form of Ghost so happy he got a release date.

I am ready to go broke on Ghost figuarts. =)

Looks pretty cool, easy skip for me though. The show is mediocre at best and the designs do nothing for me. In fact, Necrom would be the only Ghost SHF I’d be interested in.

Looks neat, I'll likely plug in a preorder for it whenever it goes up.

This reminds me, when is Type Tridoron going to go up?

We don't know, they still don’t have announced when they’re going to release it.
