And that'll probably be it for Rider figures in April, huh?

Meh.

Well, it's three new Rider Figuarts, it just feels less exciting because they were already announced and solicited as a group. On the bright side, if they're all released in April, it means we're likely to get something new - likely Genm or Lazer - in May.

Given that this is a multi-Rider series and that Lazer's level 2 and 3 forms will likely be separate releases, we'd normally be looking at 6-7 months of our releases decided ahead of time. (Actually more, if they go full-on Figuarts with any of the Level 1 forms, which, now that I think about it, is likely.)

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that the Ex-Aid line is off to a promising start and that they do sell them separately at retail, but my lack of enthusiasm is not just because we saw them already. You probably haven't been around to hear me bitch and moan about these when we first saw them, but I don't like them very much.

And even if they make more Ex-Aid stuff (which I do hope since it means they're doing well), I'm basically sitting here waiting for the Shinkocchou Seihou Rider 1 or the next Heisei Rider or maybe a curveball of some kind.

That's what I was excited for, something other than Ex-Aid, even though I knew they would have their hands full with them in April, April is new Rider SHF time for like 2 years now.

I hope so too, the figure wasn’t shown in Tamashii’s blog post which covered the event which makes me wonder if it’s a bit further away then I’d like, but I don’t think that really means anything.

Did you get that from the text or are you judging from the pictures? Because I think it’s still the double sided blade, you can see a slim red outline around the ice blade.

Alien Metron is coming in April as well.



That was nicely timed with his Orb episode

I really don't get the whole "no figures of new Ultras thing". I get that apparently Ultra is a reverse Godzilla and only the Showa stuff sells well, but you'd think that while the series is currently airing would be the best time to release figures. The further you get away, it becomes even less likely masses of people will pick one up.
