They already said earlier in the thread they kinda can't help but look for 'connections' where there are none. It's fine to just be like 'that doesnt really make sense' without coming up with conspiracy theories about users ._.;
Edit: wait uh. Okay i got them confused with 806ston. Guess the egg is on my face... but i stand by my general point |

I think they mean the face behind the Peacock Vistamp. It looks like ZX.

After seeing a close up of the stamp on p-bandai, it definitely is ZX:
However ZX doesn't really fight a Peacock themed kaijin (unless he does in some manga or novel). So if I had to guess, the weapons being bladed fans is possibly a reference to ZX's Cross Shuriken. |

It is a weird colour scheme they went with, but the helmet is undoubtedly ZX's. Gotta wonder why it's not a red vistamp with a green animal (not a colour scheme we've had yet) paired with a tiger

Sorry for my overtheorising, but seriously, ZX face does look like the opened tailfeathers of a Peacock.
I have attached a downloaded version of the Face Profile of ZX from the Kamen Rider Wiki. And here is a peacock for comparison: Also, I am not rogerph2015. I am a totally different person. Unless that other person is a doppelganger, I don't know who that individual is. But, the thing I don't get about the Kujaku Vistamp is why is it blue for the Peacock? If it was more accurate, it should be Green to replicate the eyes of ZX. Though, I guess the reason why it's blue is that they wanted to differentiate it from the Turtle Vistamp. When on screen, it would be hard to see. Part of my reasoning that it could be Biorider-based was mainly the fact that Biorider, Roborider, and Black RX all had separate Ridewatches and that the lighting on those older scans wasn't that good. The Red of the Vistamp was lightened up, causing it to look orange. Then, when I looked for Orange and Blue Riders from the Showa Period, I just found Biorider, which looked correct. Tangent Start Anyways, likely the reason why I sounded like this rogerph2015 person is that I overanalyze everything. Every little nit and cranny, I explore. Partially, this is because of my Autism/Aspergers/ADHD. The combination of these mental "disorders" causes me to overanalyze even the smallest of things and persepherate. Basically, my mind tries and find a solution to a problem, even if there might be none. This is partially why I can't get out of my own personal opinions. Like, when two local malls were torn down, including one which would have been celebrating its own 50th anniversary in the middle of it being torn down. It was older than Kamen Rider, yet was torn down to add yet another "outside Mall", like, if you are from Kansas City, the Legends. It was called "Metcalf South" and the building was a great building. My family and I walked around that place when it was practically abandoned and couldn't even find a speck of dust on the ground. It was totally structurally sound. Yet they tore down that 50 Year Old Building just because they wanted to add stores like Lowes and other standalone stores. It was stupidity. Ughh, don't want to get on that tangent. Let's just say, I don't like change. Tangent End Anyways, what other news is there on the way? You don't need to read my replies to any threads, I might just ask questions from time to time. But, before I basically quit, I don't like how they released the DX Kajiki Vistamp and the DX Condor Vistamp. You have to get movie tickets from 1 Source to get the Condor Vistamp and then you have to go to the Movie to get the Kajiki Vistamp. Why would they make it so hard? First of all, not all Kamen Rider Toy Collector live in Japan. Meaning that they can't get the Kajiki Vistamp. Secondly, the COVID-19 Pandemic is still going on. Meaning that even if you are in Japan and try to purchase the advance Tickets to get the Condor Vistamp, there isn't a 100% Chance that you would be able to get the Kajiki Vistamp. Thirdly, the limited production of both Vistamps would make getting them from sources like eBay super expensive and just not worth it. I also don't like how the Premium Bandai Sets aren't available on both the Japanese Premium Bandai Page and the International Premium Bandai pages. You have to go through third-parties in order to get the Vistamps you want and it would have added expenses. So, this may be my final post on this thread. |

We can partially put the blame on bandai for having thematic connections to their designs only some of the time, and thus making pattern-obsessed fans (which is most people, huh) go nuts.
Anyhow if it were up to me, i'd make zx'a vistamp a frog because ninjas. And change Jeanne's fan weapons to big shurikens |

Correct, it’s a V3 stamp announced a while back ago. It comes in a set with an Amazons and X stamp

I?d point out that I?m autistic as well, and yet I don?t go on borderline-insane rants about how clearly unconnected things are connected, but that particular diagnosis can manifest very differently in different people, even without factoring in other diagnoses or the fact that I?m a woman and, I assume, you?re a man.
In any case, nonexistent connections between riders and animals aside, you?re clearly very new to this whole ?Rider Toys? business - and that?s not a bad thing, everyone starts somewhere - so I?ll explain things for you. You see?this is nothing new. Every year has Premium Bandai-exclusive merch - and, as has been said, a dude?s only toys being Premium Bandai-exclusive is a sign of one of three things, usually - he?s not going to last long so no point putting it on toy shelves, they don?t think that particular toy would sell enough to be mass release, or it?s so late in the show, by the time it?s on-sale in shops, the next show will have started. You?ll recall this from when you tried to gotcha everyone in here by saying that the Demons Driver being Premium Bandai meant Hiromi was unkillable, but, as you were told at the time, that actually makes it more likely that he?s going to bite it. The reason why these sets are not available internationally?is that Kamen Rider being promoted internationally by Bandai is a thing so new, that if it were a person, it wouldn?t be in school yet. Bluefin bringing over the CSM Belts is an incredibly new thing, and the Toei Youtube channel putting up Kamen Rider episodes is barely a year old. Bandai doesn?t care that there are western fans who would buy their toys because, legally, you aren?t actually able to watch the show they?re promoting outside of Japan. All those livestreams, and then streaming sites, or torrent sites with fansubs?all varying levels of illegal. So it?s a case of one: why sell toys to people who shouldn?t know the context behind them, and two: Bandai don?t think enough westerners would buy them to justify making more to sell to the west. Premium Bandai works on a commission basis, you see. For the most part, they only make as many as people order - but to justify the price of the toy design, the moles, the manufacturing, the electronics?they need to be reasonably sure they?ll make a profit. This explanation mostly covers the movie ticket bonuses as well - Bandai don?t care about western fans of current shows because you shouldn?t be watching them - but this, too, is also something they?ve done before. Every show since at least Ghost has had various gimmick items exclusive to arcade machines, or lotteries, or ticket preorders, or clothing stores, or physical store-collabs?yes it?s shitty, but it?s far from unusual. You see, Bandai doesn?t care how hard it is for you to complete your collection. They?re a company?they just want money. Even if only ten people period collect all the ViStamps?if they can charge those ten people through the nose?they?re fine. Artificial scarcity drives up prices and demand, for one?and for two, the more they release, the more likely they are to hook a kid who likes that animal/object/whatever-the-theme-is so that they?re parent buys it for them. If it means they have to go to the cinema and buy tickets to see the film they?ve just made?then well, that means the film makes more money, too! It?s certainly not fair, and I?m not saying you can?t be mad?but it?s normal. It?s not going to change because it?s been this way for years. If you want a complete collection, it?s going to set you back hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds/dollars/insert-currency-here, and many hours of trawling Japanese auction sites. That?s just the way it is. As for news…nothing. We usually get news for the next months forms/toys at the end of the previous month, and that’s the only reliable schedule we have. There are often other little surprises that crop up, but in terms of news you can expect…nothing until the last week of December, when we get the January scans, at which point we’ll probably see the big Second Quarter Belt/Henshin item and the respective Rider, if he doesn’t cameo in the winter movie as they often do.
