Oh you're kidding me.

Web exclusive Necrom? Screw you, Bandai. What the hell are you even doing. I love Boost and that he's not an exclusive, but between these two, if one of them had to be an exclusive (and I don't think either did, you've only got 4 mass releases so far, what gives) it's obvious it shouldn't have been Necrom. What the hell.

And oh, hey. Darkraider. Cool, cool. Wasn't expecting it to come out so soon, but hey, cool. Probably won't get it on release (didn't even manage to preorder dragranzer...) but more contract monsters are always welcome. Maybe someday I will get to own it.

Wow that's fucking crazy Necrom comes out in Nov web shop exclusive what the hell is going on here. He should be retail I shock the last two main riders are retail and he not.

I have to wonder what ghost Figuarts will we get in between sept and oct for web shop bandai is really messing with us.

Guys, it's not like web exclusives are difficult to get ahold of these days, thanks to sites like Mandarake and even AmiAmi gets web exclusives in from time to time.

Yeah, I get that they'll be harder to find after the fact but most of them tend to fall back to around retail price once the demand is gone...

We know web shop not hard to get it just that Necrom is a main rider and he should be mass release that what were saying. After all the last two kamen rider shows main riders were mass release.

It's a known fact that bad guy characters do not sell well in Japan, main rider or not so I'm not surprised by this at all.

Eh, I'm not so confident. It tends to depend on how popular a character is and their importance in their show. With Necrom we're talking a third Rider that was introduced very early and is a very major character in the story. It'd be like having Mach as a web exclusive. Unless Ghost as a whole just tanks as a line, I expect Necrom to be pretty popular. And thus, pretty expensive, especially if you want to get it after the fact. I'm not sure I can afford a web exclusive preorder during the order window right now...especially with the exchange rate as it is.

It's also about the principle of the thing, though. It makes no sense for major characters, major forms introduced as early as episode 16, to get the web exclusive treatment. Especially not if an early season upgrade is getting a regular release. It just makes no sense.

I agree with all this well said.

Wut? Why is Necrom a Web-Exclusive? The guy is a main character and a secondary Rider, also not a really villain as we are seeing right now. Kinda surprising since even Drive had the main Rider, Mashin Chaser and Mach out in retail, plus one alternate form of Drive and Deadheat. But they didn’t ever release Type Tridoron and Formula was a Web-Exclusive so… I don’t know.

But hey, that Garo figure they showed two years ago! Not that I care about Garo, but it’s nice that the figure gets released.

Knight Survive with Cyclebat is cool, too expensive for me though, and I like regular Knight better anyways.

So pretty much a month without a purchase for me so far, boring. Still no Gatack.
