Yeah either that or what I choose to believe until we get confirmation is that someone took a picture form the show and added joints to the suit. Not the first time that something like that happened.

Of course it does, we all expect him to be the next release, but I still question the nature of this picture. With the event being like 3 days away I can't believe someone would be so stupid and display a clear picture of the figure.

Wasn’t that a fake though? I don't remember seeing something like that without someone verifying it as a fake immediately after.

Anyways, W hype!

I find it very hard to believe someone Shopped an image that believable, printed it out on large glossy cardstock or behind glass, and set it up where you can see some small toy exhibit/store in the reflection... just for some stupid gag. A gag that actually has a pretty high chance at becoming true sometime soon anyway, no less. That seems like a ridiculously pointless amount of attention to detail.

Your way seems like a pretty cynical approach to me, but I guess your entitled to that belief until it's 150% confirmed.

They didn't do any of that; its way easier, they just made a picture of the display case with reflection and all and then photoshoped the actual content of the cabinet.

Anyone with Photoshop and a little time on their hands could do this. Pretty sure Former could make something like this in 10 minutes if he wanted to and had the resources necessary. Not saying it’s the case here, but it's possible. You don’t need to actually print a fake pamphlet and put it inside the case.

And while W will happen, I believe it will, the date confuses me a bit. If that date wouldn’t be there I would actually believe it a bit more.

So now that we're getting no fewer than three reuses of Type Speed, when do we get Black Baron, Proto-Suika Zangetsu, and Fresh Orange?

Of those, only one would require any actual retooling. And even then it amounts to just slapping a gatling gun from Robot Damashii Gouf Custom onto a Melon Defender.

I dunno, I could ask the same thing about where the rest of Hibiki is.

Yeah, but that's Hibiki.

With Baron Lemon & Protodrive not being hard to track down after all, I'd love it if any of those you guys mentioned would end up as Tamashii Nations or Toei Hero Net exclusives, at the least. I just want them to exist in some fashion.

I'd love for that photo to be accurate. It'd certainly suggest a new optional scarf part. I'm not sure what else it'd come with. Gaia Memories? Optional driver parts? I'm just hugely excited by the idea of not-awful hips, not-awful-shoulders, and hand-swapping that doesn't raise my blood pressure.

Fingers crossed for Figuarts Gekiranger, SS Kiva, OOO, and Wizard. A nerd can dream.

I'd rather have the other Hibiki Riders than more Gaim figures. I have bought Todoroki SIC Figures because it will take forever to get a figuart of him.

[XW1n5t0nX]

Sad thing is that as I say I want the SHFs I am totally working my way through the SICs so i can have EVERYTHING and have all the extra features. So even if they were made I'd probably only do Ibuki, Todoroki, and Armed Hibiki
