I'm very happy for them to not do Live for now because it's extremely funny to me how much is getting released before what is ostensibly the secondary rider's main form? Like, compare to Blades or Vulcan or even the nonsense that went down with Cross-Z. This is hilarious to me.
Buuut I also don't want it to last too long, I do want a full lineup of all three Igarashi siblings. Easily one of my favourite trios in all of Kamen Rider

It comes down to them doing the Jackal form swap like Evil has. Evil's form swap is super simple, just a chest plate and helmet. Live needs a new helmet, shoulder pad and torso since he gains not just a new chest but the detail runs all the way to his back area, too.
The torso's probably the thing causing issues considering most form swaps at most only require a new front piece.

the real reason is that bandai heard everyone talk about how they liked live less then evil, and decided "fine we'll only make shf evil"
Can't wait for Holy Live to be released before Live. |

She went up yesterday at the Japanese store, others won't carry it.
@Topic: Full info on Black Sun is out, besides accessories like hands and the sword the most interesting thing to note IMO is that this figure will feature new articulation points: Balljoints in the elbows and knees to allow for rotation. Now, the concept is nothing new, but was executed differently before, with a swivel cut inside the double joint. This I assume is a balljoint in the socket of the joint, inside the arm/leg so using it will put no stress on the elbows/knees. It's hardly a new concept, there are other figures in the market that do similar stuff, but I like this solution better than what they tried before. https://sp.tamashii.jp/item/14026/ |

Definitely interesting. I have to imagine the entirely black body goes some way in hiding the joints, but I wonder if they might adopt it on future figures

The newly reopened Tamashii Nations Store Tokyo will be selling store exclusive editions of Rising Hopper, Ultraman Z Original, and Iron Man MK 3
Both Rising Hopper and Z are under the Best Selection branding, so they come with less items then the original retail release. Best Selection Hopper omits the closed finger pointing hand; while Z comes with only 4 pairs of hands, versus the original whopping 7 pairs, and omits the beam effect https://tamashii.jp/tn_blog/28/ |
