Been hanging out in the Kyoruger forum and the Ep. 9 thread touched on how badly we're gonna be screwed when it comes to S.H. Figuarts Kyoruger figures.
We haven't seen any previews of these, have we? I have to re-watch the Akibaranger Season 1, Episode 2 and dig through some Tamashii exhibits threads, but I don't think Bandai has shown them off. I am hoping they use a body with independent an upper bicep swivel, some of the recent ones just use a double ball-socket at the shoulder to achieve arm articulation don't really work for me. Since the Kyuranger suits don't have any stripes or patterns that would be interrupted by a cut for an upper bicep swivel, it shouldn't look out of place. As for as accessories, at minimum Bandai should include: - hands to pose them in all of their roll-call poses - Gaburevolver - Gabucaliber - Gabucannon - extra, armored right arm for "Armed On" mode - individual weapon (shield, spike, blade, whatever etc) that can be combined - a bunch of batteries and holders First run bonus: - stage that each ranger stands on while inside the mecha (like the Gokai Darins). Would be nice but doubtful: - translucent energy effects parts to simulate energy attacks/weapons firing Releases: Well, we'd all want all the rangers to be regular releases, but you know Bandai's gonna F- us. Best case scenario, we get Red, Black, and Green as regular releases, with Blue, Pink, and Torin as the quickest Tamashii Web Exclusives. Maybe we get future Rangers (Cyan, Gold) and Deboss as full figures as Tamashii web exclusives, plus some Figuarts Zeros of the bad guys. Any power ups (Red Carnival) for Red will probably be regular releases, with other colors being web exclusives. Bummer. Maybe Bandai will surprise us and do two-packs of Green/Black and Blue/Pink as regular release? Last edited by OptionZero; 04-20-2013 at 11:20 PM.. |

I'd want them to have fully realized MoBuckles too. With open mode and a detached piece for the individual phone mode.
The Jyudenchi that aren't attached to a particular Kyoryuger will be interesting. Will they go with the Kyoryuger that's sorta similar to their dinosaur(Allomeras with Red, Stymero with Pink, etc.), or perhaps the Kyoryuger that dances to their verse in the ending? Maybe, I could see them releasing them in sets like the modules, but with batteries instead of switches, and energy effects(?) instead of modules.

I wouldn't hold my breath for batteries. I seriously don't want another SHF Fourze switches on my hands.
I think the Armed On arm would be a bit much, but it's always possible to be included. Though it'd probably be attached through pegs, rather than replacing the arm entirely. It would be neat to get their stands, but, once again, I think that's asking much.

The Buckle wouldn't be hard to make swivel for open, and closed, modes. It would just be a simple peg. Which you'd need to take it on and off. Personally I would want King to come with two Gaburevolvers. One that's colored and one that's not.

I don't understand Bandai at all. They took 6 months to get us Wizard Figuarts. Like 8 months to do Red Buster. There is no excuse why the main rider form and red ranger should not be out the same week a new show hits the airwaves. Wizard Flame Style should have been out back in Sept while KyoryuRed should have been out no later than a month ago.

At the very least, I expect a Gaburevolver, Gaburicaliber, and the combined form along with the usual hands. Anything else would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. Of course, I do like the Kyoryugers enough to complete the set. Because I'm insane.

All of the toku shows are basically commercials, thats why we have secondary riders, powered up forms, multiple weapons, movie specials, etc.
Imagine if we had Kyoryuger toys but no show. We'd still be laughing at how funky the red tyranno's feet look. Instead, the dancing cast has won our hearts over and we're all gonna pre-order Kyoryurger Red as soon as it gets up. I didn't like Wizard in photos when it was first shown, but after seeing him in motion, I picked him up. |

...So, what your saying is that you'd like Bandai to rush the production of the FUCKING COLLECTOR ORIENTATED LINE, just so they can be on shelves when the show starts? Do you know what fucking happened the last time they did that? We got the OOO Figuarts. Do you REALLY want more Figuarts to end up like that? Oh, and here's the BIG THING that you missed, since Figuarts are a line SOLELY aimed at collectors, it DOESN'T matter when they come out. Parents aren't buying Figuarts for their kids, they're buying the "budget lines" like WAP! or the Sentai Vinyl Heroes for them; hence why those lines start very close to when the show starts. But of course, you skipped over that little detail so you could once again show off just how dumb and ignorant you are.
