No, that one certainly wasn't shown off before, we saw an Ambassador Hell figure, yes, but it was his Kaijin form known as "Garagaranda".

This one is brand-new, and exactly what I wanted! They finally start to put that face printing method of theirs to good use in the Kamen Rider series, that's awesome!

Showa stuff usually does nothing for me, but this one's a little tempting. I'm not sure why. Did a version of this guy appear in the Taisen movies, maybe?

He is in a lot of Taisen movies in his Garagaranda-form, the human version made its last appearance in a slightly updated form in the Kamen Rider 1 movie from 2016 I believe.

Don't think you'll have to wait that much longer.

They'll do some Shocker guys now, then the easy Rider 2 repaint, and right after they make the transition to V3 hopefully.

They should at least, the Showa Riders are almost all in dire need of upgrades IMO, might as well do them in chronological order.

Ugh! There's so much coming out that I want. x.x

Oh jeez, I'm gonna end up having to re-buy the same characters.
Although yeah, some of them actually do need improvements. I mean I'm happy with most of them, the biggest improvements would largely be in proportions and detail. More wrinkles in the clothing, creases in the rubber; especially on Stronger. Black and RX I know both suffer from articulation hindrance. Ironically Black has full motion in the arms yet limited leg movement, while RX has fluid legs but no bicep joint.

But part of me does wonder if they intend to do that for everything, since there's clearly going to be some major compatibility issues if they don't. At the same time I really cannot see them doing SS for the likes of Riderman and Tackle, and certainly not Shin. At the very least they'd be web-ex out the ass and that's really off putting. Then you've got things like Shadow Moon, Bio Rider and Robo Rider... But they might ignore them like W's forms. I mean I guess if nothing else they've got plenty to keep busy. Out of curiosity, have we had any shinkouchuu seiho that don't function with legacy items?

Kiwami · 10-24-2017, 02:43 AM

They'll do everyone at some point, even Riderman and Tackle. Exclusive or not, we'll see

What are "legacy items" though? Never heard that one in relation with Figuarts before.

God I wish Riderman was more popular, I don't wanna pay 100 for him.
I'm using it as a generic term for older releases. The HardBoilder might be one example, since I know they released a whole new mold- though that was mainly in relation to the original being inaccurate rather than to fit the new W. As far as I know, anyway.

I want to know if there's ever been a Seihou Kamen Rider incompatible with an original product due to the proportional change. It's one of the things I've been wondering with Ichigo, if the chances are good he'll fit the currently available Cyclone, or will Bandai have to make a new one of them as well?

He looks great, he was my favorite Shocker general
