If it’s any consolation to those disappointed, I think Gaim will be the first CHRONICLE line to get a third retail wave for one particular reason: Kiwami.
Aside from W (which had just one retail wave, fewer figures per wave and was their first time at this with less budget), all CHRONICLE lines so far have included the final form, and in fact all major forms of the main rider — Den-O, OOO and Kuuga have all done this without fail. And maybe this is the one time they won’t, but then it would be odd to me to not include Kiwami in this wave over, uh. Jimber. There’s also the fact that CHRONICLE has seen a lot of popularity and a large increase in budget — look at all the improvements in this line and how much paint they’ve been able to do. This blog even boasted of a new dedicated web page and tv ads!! So, yeah, think we’re getting a wave 3 for the first time! Place your bets on who; I’m thinking Kiwami, Emo Ryugen, Duke and Gridon. Talking of an increased budget... if there’s CHRONICLE news next week, going by how quickly new CHRONICLE lines happen one after the other, I think we’ve got a new line reveal next month. I’m thinking possibly Kiva, Wizard or Fourze, based on what SHODO isn’t currently covering.

I feel like there's no way we're getting Gaim Kiwami Arms without Lord Baron, tbh.

Given Lord Baron is a kaijin, he screams premium bandai release to me. Could be very, very wrong though!

Know what? Decided to go ahead and work a lot of this out, because Gaim has a lot of bases to cover.
Wave 3: Kiwami, Duke, Gridon, Kurokage (w/ Shin parts) PBandai1: Bravo, Knuckle, Marika, Sigurd PBandai2: Lord Baron, Ryugen Yomi, Pine, Ichigo, Mango, Kiwi PBandai3: Bujin Gaim, Kamuro, Mars, Jam Lottery: Gaim Yami My logic for this is that they’d want to get all 11 in-series riders out as soon as possible (while still accounting for upgrades), and wouldn’t want to go beyond one premium bandai wave for them. The four in that first premium wave have always been p-bandai ordeals, while I think they’d want to have Kurokage at retail for armybuilding. Following that I think they’d want to wrap up the in-series suits — so Yomi, the popular Lord Baron, and then the rest of the four boxes each go to one auxiliary Arms each. I don’t think they’d get release any other way, and having less bodies would likely mean more budget for Lord Baron. Thirdly, the movie set and the lottery. I think lottery could go to any of Gaim Yami, Bujin Gaim or Jam but I feel the latter two have more appeal, plus they’d each allow more rep than just the soccer movie. If Chronicle Gaim is very VERY popular even beyond a movie set, I could see a fourth of Zangetsu Kachidoki, Fifteen, Duke Dragon Energy andddd... *throws a dart at the Kouta form board* Gaim Fresh. That would 100% wrap up EVERYTHING that isn’t either legend rider or vcin (or suika because, c’mon), though these are all much more minor and from ancillary media. Still, I mean, we got Eternal Red Flare...

For Suika while it might mean nothing on the SHODO survey there is a specific option for Gaim/Suika Arms as something you want to see in SHODO-X and they have asked how much you would pay for "large machine, mecha monsters, etc." I wouldn't rule anything out yet for now.

If anyone wants a more show-accurate Rampage Vulcan, it's very easy to do. Just clip the wings in half, however you'd like. I personally used the same hobby nippers that I use for gunpla. Then, get 2 of those weapon joints(the one that comes with Thouser, Shining Assault Hopper, Metal Cluster Hopper, etc) together, and use em as joints that now connect Rampage Vulcan and his wing. What I love about this is that his left arm is now finally free and not hindered at all, like it was before. You can even replicate his first finisher this way, although the wing is nowhere near big enough.
Even though it isn't show-accurate, I want to get 2 more of those joints and use them to attach the other wing as well lol Last edited by Chasing; 10-20-2020 at 05:15 AM.. |
