I do wonder how many more extra Riders, forms, etc. from Kabuto, W, and Kuuga they'll make before experimenting with another series.

Eternal looks very good. I wonder how many of those Gaia Memories will be removable.

The untransformed figures are very cool, but they also make me long for one of pretty much any Heisei Rider. If I had the extra cash and shelf space, I'd pick up the ones for Space Sheriff and Ultraman just to vote with my dollars. Er, yen.

Makes sense though. W and Kabuto both sold extremely well in the line, and it's easy enough to retool them into new Riders (Eternal is basically the W mold slightly modified, repainted and new parts slapped on). Hibiki sold poorly IIRC so they're probably being cautious when it comes to Kiva.

I'd reckon it's why we haven't seen the rest of the Agito riders or any of his other forms yet, because it doesn't seem like Agito himself sold all that great (purely based off of the fact that it's easy to find him for below his original retail price).

Not a bad custom, the official one will use a bit better paint but still.

@Topic: Since we had a little bit of time to see all the new stuff from the Tamashii World Tour in Osaka now, what was your favorite Toku reveal?

I think Shinkocchou Seihou is doing some great stuff, Eternal with a cloth cape looks gorgeous and the SS Ichigo figure continues to look perfect (please put this one up for pre-order soon Bandai) but I think what got me the most excited is the Jugglus Juggler Figuart.

I never expected them to get into the really new Ultraman stuff until Orb Origin was announced and even then I was skeptical that we could get a villain/antihero from this (even though they do release a lot of monsters these days) so seeing him on display made me really happy. Can't wait for this one to come out, I hope it's not a matter of years but rather months until we see Juggler up for pre-order.

Well when the Orb stuff originally went up I remember them having that little box with a "?" next to the two versions of Orb on the page, which is the same as they did for Zetton and Zoffy when the original page went up.

The turnaround for those was fairly quick, so I hope the same will be said for Juggler. That said, the space could end up going to Specium Zeperion now so who knows.

[Kiwami]

Yeah I remember the box and the Ultraman line itself is on fire right now so I don't really fear that these specific prototypes will be shelved for an entire year but...
it could always happen regardless

I think my favorite reveal is Eternal. For me, it's for several reasons:

1) Eternal is an awesome design
2) They're showing that they're willing to do movie Riders in the S.S. line
3) Between this, Batman and Vader, cloth capes may become standard in the Figuarts line

Eternal looks good, which I am surprised about because I usually hate cloth capes. Cloth miniaturizes terribly, at least most of the time, but they really seemed to have solved that. I didn't even realize it was cloth at first.

The winner for me, though, was Retsu Ichijouji not being a display piece this time but having an actual price, even if we're still waiting on a release date. You can't go wrong with Kenji Ohba and I hope it sells well enough to drive the release of the Takeshi Hongo.

Juggler is probably my favourite as well. Eternal is great but I kinda had a feeling he'd happen sooner or later.

They already did that with Skull
