http://www.gashapon.jp/rider/iconList/
>>5321215
I was alright with Birth in the show but the SIC really doesn't make him an interesting buy.
>>5321219
What is this?
>>5321234
Looks like the blank Eyecon Takeru got in episode 1 of Ghost.
I want to get a friend a figure of Ichigo or Black, but I've never bought a figure before and was hoping someone could recommend me one?
>>5321281
Always Ichigo. He is the alpha. Grand Elder.
>>5321347
I was thinking ichigo too, do you know a good figure of him to get? I don't know anything about buying figures, but I was thinking the SIC version.
>>5321281
Between Ichigo or Black? Definitely Ichigo.
However Black and Shadow Moon are awesome figs too.
>>5321376
The Figuarts are show accurate (or as close as they can get), while SIC are more elaborate with there design. Plus, the are a but bigger than figuarts. I prefer the modern version of Ichigo with the silver boots and gloves while many others like the Sakurajima Version(his very first suit).
>>5321376
>http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Tamashii-Nations-Sakurajima-Version/dp/B009HMK4I0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449382018&sr=8-1&keywords=Kamen+Rider+1
This one is often recommended since it's cheap and a good fig.
>http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Tamashii-Nations-S-H-Figuarts-Cyclone/dp/B00LBZUEE0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449382018&sr=8-3&keywords=Kamen+Rider+1
I like this one because it's his modern costume plus it comes with his ride. Can't be a Kamen Rider without a ride.
>http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Tamashii-Nations-S-I-C-Action/dp/B00FGMSIY2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1449382018&sr=8-6&keywords=Kamen+Rider+1
The SIC of Ichigo is also highly praised. Good articulation and the sculpting is killer. Older SIC have garbage articulation, and SIC are pretty big, like 8 inches, so they tend to stick out and not interact as well with other figures.
I prefer figuarts because they have great articulation, great sculpts, and they can fit in with most 6 inch scale collections (they're a bit small, but I attribute that to them just being Japanese).
SIC is good if it's going to be a stand alone or display piece, though.
>>5321395
>Sakurajima Version(his very first suit)
Second suit.
>>5321408
Dammit. Yeah, second suit.
So I've finished watching OOO-Drive and I was wondering which I should watch next:Kiva or Hibiki
/toy/ related question: is there any Kamen Rider series that i should avoid buying Figuarts from in hopes of an SHFSS?
>Ghost isn't getting many pre-orders
>>5321532
I would pre-order Ghost, but I prefer Specter.
I honestly was going to buy Ghost just for the Yurusen bonus
>>5321489
Between the two? Hibiki. Even the later half isn't as bad as Kiva.
>>5321578
Is Kiva that bad?
>>5321587
It's okay for the first half but the second half basically shoves characters in that you don't care about but they end up ruining characters you did care about, they add so much drama for absolutely no reason, the fights in modern day are all done as Emperor Kiva so you have to listen to Tatsulot's shrieking every episode, and so on. The best part of the second half is basically the last five episodes since Otoya is really good in it.
>>5321587
It starts off as a cool concept with the past and current timelines, then it eventually gets super annoying.
>>5321532
Or they are finally flooding the market with shit people want. A preorder shouldn't sell out in 45 seconds. Easy way to lose money to competitors.
>>5321215
Why does it feel like I've been seeing this thing forever now?
>>5320276
It's a good series, but it drops its better concepts and ditches the female lead later on (Japan didn't like the idea of progressive female characters at the time). It can also get pretty damn violent, if not had the most violence of all Showa series.
Also mediocre HK/Malay subs.
Yurusen puppet when?
>>5320276
When i was a little kid, I loved watching Ace so my opinion maybe biased. But it is always the best Ultraman show for me. The main character, Hokuto and Minami, are really cool. Especially Hokuto, he really carried the show.
Yapool was also an unforgettable villain who made the atmosphere intense all the time.
There are only 15 episodes with English sub on nyaa dot se right now. But if you can watch raw, this link has everything: http://pastebin.com/DgL74RbC
>>5321775
Hopefully never. Fuck off.
>>5320412
>Both Kuuga's and Agito's Belts change for a Mid Season Upgrade/Final Form.
>Rising/Amazing/Ultimate Changed the Arcle.
>Burning/Shining changed the Seed of Agito.
>>5321775
They released a puppet of that monkey from ToQger, right? I think that was a Babdai webshop exclusive, so rhey could do the same for Yurusen.
>>5321662
If that was the case, then they forgot their lesson as soon as they learned it because Kabuto is still sold the fuck out.
So that being said, I am also more leaning to the idea that the Japanese majority doesn't like Ghost.
>>5321939
That and the Gatack release will only give me stronger hopes for SHFSS of best boy.
>>5321662
This is why I like the web exclusive item more. Even if it is a little more expensive than the regular one, there will be 100% chance I can got it.
To tell the truth, I have been collecting toku toy for 1 year and haven't been able to buy even one regular figure on amiami. I don't even know how can people order them while the site is dead. Every time the site reload successfully, the pre order closed.
Sorry for raging blog.
>>5321952
...just pre-order the Figuarts off a website that isn't Amiami, for fucks sake.
Also, the well majority of figures are easily available after release. You do know you don't actually need to pre-order the figures to get them, right?
>>5321956
Amiami, Nippon yassan and hlj all die during pre order times, though.
And of course I know I can buy it on another site after release. But amiami is cheapest and I just being rage about how I can't even figure how could people buy the item while all at I get is a loading page.
Do we have a date for Ranger Key Lost Edition or is it still just "December"? I preordered it already, but I still need to pay shipping.
Loving my Proto-Drive a lot--
I snagged a cheap Wild during that one sale, so I painted up the wrist guards for TypeSpeed and fit them on Proto.
...now I want to do it with the DoorGun. S-should I?
>>5322030
His head looks large. I want Proto Drive, but I think I'll buy Chaser first.
>>5321985
Have yet to see HLJ die for a bandai day.
>>5322275
The head isn't that large looking in person-- not sure as to why it looks that way from this picture.
Chaser does seem really nice. The reason I like Proto so much is due to the matte black on the body, and since I do like Drive's overall aesthetic, this suit gives off more of what a mass produced police version of Drive *should* look like-- not that weird thing they did based off the Mach suit, haha.
>>5321213
is there a Japanese name for thos inflatable Yurusen
>>5322356
cum balloons
>>5322356
http://www.bandai.co.jp/catalog/item/4549660029588000.html
>>5322323
I do like that black matte finish. I'll buy it at a later date. Wonder if we'll see Mass Produced Mach.
Speaking of black matte finish. Does anyone here own the exclusive Joker or even Cyclone? I was thinking about picking up Joker for a birthday present for myself even though I heard there were some problems with the W line of Figuarts
>>5322459
I own Joker. He's nice but very dated. Older joints and hips. His helmet is a bit off from the show/movies, but I like it.
>>5322479
Thanks, I figured he would be pretty dated compared to the others I own, but I wouldn't mind.
>>5322390
thanks
Can anyone share the latest SHF checklist?
>>5323047
Sure thing.
Here are the General Releases...
>>5323090
And Exclusives.
>>5323141
Why would you feel bad? Rarely do you ever have the first iteration of a figure being the best.
>>5323090
Can't wait to see hot Freddie Mercury and Figma Billy Herrington action.
The old Rider mask statues would work well for a custom Rider arms right?
>>5323098
who's the purple haired girl in the bottom row?
>>5323305
Cure Beat from Suite Precure
Hi
I just saw TJOmegas review for the shocker combatman, i wonder were is the best place to buy it? it looks really good.
>>5323367
(for anyone intressted)
https://youtu.be/yAKny8WWv5U
>>5323367
Mandarake
Benkei eyecon and spider are up on mandarake, the toy pace on this is crazy fast.
-sigh- one day
>>5323367
Why would you ever watch TJOMEG?A
>>5323378
no one is tj
Who's going to buy the JyuOhger mechs?
>>5323847
>Minecraft is now ruining sentai mechs too
God damn it
>>5323847
Are you trying to claim that is the Jewking mech? I am fairly sure that is Nanoblocks, or some shit, of the Go-onger mechs.
>>5323847
Me. Solely for the individual mechs.
>>5323847
Jesus. Buckle up for ToQGer season two. When's Bandai going to realize that having every component being the same simple geometric shape doesn't work?
>>5323878
I think it'd be less frustrating if you didn't have to go through a middleman to buy exclusives.
Just stop making that shit Japan exclusive.
hahaha maybe the jyuohger mecha are going for a mugenbine and aztec thing and not a minecraft thing
right?
>>5323847
What in the actual fuck.
>Boner Train was better than this.
>Ninja Throne was wonderful fun.
>>5323889
And let filthy gaijins get stuff easily? You're talking crazy talk.
>>5323847
Wait a minute...
>>5323917
>megazord
>>5323847
>>5323857
The rabbit hole goes deeper.
>>5323847
I know I have been shitting on the recent years mechs for being awful looking, but holy shit, this is a whole new level of bad
I thought the big stick on the side with the helmet attached was the sword, but the more I look at the picture the more I think it's a giant spike that holds all of the cubes together.
I can't figure out any other use for the big ass hole on the eagle.
>>5324176
I dunno, I still prefer this mech over ToQ-oh
>>5323847
What a great anniversary show mech.
>>5324150
That.... is fucking hideous.... It looks so much like bootlegs
>>5324334
It is the sword when the first two robos combine. For the first robo, your right it does hold the blocks together and forms the head.
>>5324150
thi-this is fake right? RIGHT?
>>5324150
Y'know, maybe Sentai SHFs dying wasn't such a bad thing in the end.
>>5324531
Think of it this way, you'll save a ton of money just making papercraft models of them and they'll look the same.
>>5323847
What a step down from 10 years ago...
Is it likely that Bluefin will bring the Drive SHFs over? If so, when is it likely to happen? I mean like, how long of a wait was it for previous KR series?
>>5324150
I'll only like this if they reveal that they're really just wearing t-shirts.
>>5324923
At this point in time it's incredibly unlikely. Usually when they get the license to do so they advertise it a bit after the Japanese preorders go up. I wouldn't expect it at all this late in the game.
>>5324150
>local heroes
This is no longer funny Toei.
And this Omori written all over it.
>watching sentai die a slow, painful death
Gooooood, goooood. End it all, Toei.
>>5325357
May as well end it on the 40th one.
Who wants to break the bad news to the PRfags?
>>5324150
Not gonna lie, the green one looks pretty cool to me. Might get its sentai hero.
And is blue a girl?
>>5324150
Looks exactly like those women wearing a cat face t-shirt....
I like the cube robot, but only if it was a small toy, not the DX.
Are Figuarts Zero in the same scale/size as regular Figuarts?
I'm considering getting the Zodiart ones.
>>5325523
Yeah, Zeros are designed to be in scale as regular Figuarts.
>>5325524
Awesome, thanks anon.
I made the order about a week ago, and it is set to arrive today, but it only just sunk in that I spent $100+shipping on 3 lockseeds. What am I doing with my life?
>>5325808
Buying merch from a popular show that finished airing over a year ago.
I want a figuarts of pic relate but we all know it will never happen
>>5325357
It's only because they blew their entire "load on Gokaiger and didn't have old heroes to fall back on for nostalgia stroking. That's all that keeps Rider going nowadays, anyway.
>>5324923
It took them literally over a year to get just Gaim Orange Arms. And that was because Tamashii did a reissue. Don't count on it any time soon, and don't expect the promotion tires either.
I have a question for our German friends.
So, I moved to Germany about a year ago, and I'm having some issues with buying from outside the EU.
Back home:
>buy something from Japan
>if over €22 pay an extra import fee or whatever to the mailman, at my doorstep
>enjoy my purchase
Here:
>buy something from Japan
>get a letter saying I have to go pick up my package at a customs place (Zollamt) 30km away to pay the fee
>have to pay extra again for every day my mail is waiting there
What can I do so I can just pay the mailman, instead of having to go pick it up? I know there's an extra fee for buying from outside the EU, but why are they making it so hard for me here?
Looks like another year I won't be buying any Sentai stuff. This is getting a little disappointing now.
>>5326260
AG13 cells are ridiculously easy and cheap to get, Anon.
>>5326158
I dunno I kinda dig it
>>5326094
Basically? Nothing. You either get lucky and they pay the fee in advance and it gets delivered to your door or you have to collect it at the Zollamt. There's also an option to pay around 27€ for DHL to deliver it to you but you still have to pay the customs fee.
>>5325818
Trust me you aren't alone in your feelings.
>>5325523
Good taste anon.
>>5326316
Aren't you Germans suppose to be more efficient than this? I'm honestly a little disappointed in you.
>>5326316
How do you get around it? Or do you just wait and see what happens?
Am I supposed to notify the customs office, or ask the seller to do so? Picking up your mail is so last century, I honestly don't understand it.
With the DHL option, I just pay the courier at my door?
>>5326158
The individual zords look alright, but Jesus titty fucking Christ that combined form looks so bad, like it actually might be the worst looking sentai mech to date.
I was hoping to get some motorcycles for my SHFs (Drive and Fourze so far), I found some cheap 1/18 motorcycle models for $5-8, is that the right scale?
>>5326374
You want 1/12
http://dai4.com/item/2786
6k for the DX Icon Driver, at that price I can't imagine it to be a simple add on and not a fill on belt.
I really hope I'm wrong and its just the most expensive mid season transformation add on of all time.
>>5326425
>6980
Why would you round down?
>>5326430
Dai's prices are usually a bit higher than most jp retailers.
>>5326390
Lame.
Thanks.
>>5326158
Eh, I'm kinda starting to get into it. I'm wondering what the deal with that giraffe mech is
>>5326551
If you want the Gold and Silver apples they're lower than retail if you check on Mandarake. Scooped them up, beautiful blue lit Silver apple.
Any toku fans in sweden?
>>5327485
Maybe ask in /m/, there're alot of toku fans that aren't into the /toy/ side of it as well as the show itself , and they usually discuss that stuff there.
>>5326158
Wow, it's been all downhill since Kyoryuger, hasn't it?
ToQ was okay, but then Nininger had Dexter's Dodgeball Megazord and this is just plain silly.
>>5327517
I actually rather liked ToQ, but yeah naruto-sentai really dragged the show down hard.
It really only started to decline back during the later half of Go-Busters.
More Shodo Vs on the way! Riderman is the first reveal of part 2.
>>5327485
Gigabeetle?
>>5325818
Is that who I think it is?
>>5327800
>Shodo Vs

>>5327828
Ohmygod that wirework.
>>5327837
fuck off tumblrshit
>>5327828
I have a feeling he will be the villain of the wave. Maybe with Black as a part of the assortment too. Can't wait to see the lineup. Exciting!
>>5327837
why is cancer here?
>>5327828
>>5327837
Go back to tumblr faggot.
>>5327874
Not until I'm done making fun of that absolutely atrocious wirework.
>"Did that take look good, guys?"
>"Ya looked like you suffered an aneurism mid-kick."
>"Great!"
>>5327879
whynot make fun of hotels again?
>>5327860
Riderman looks good for the size. Black/SM would be great. As would Stronger/Ant Capone.
>>5327879
>wirework
>trampoline
>>5327881
So who is this flailing faggot and why can Pearl build a robot in 60 seconds out of spare parts that can Rider Kick better than him?
>>5327886
It's atrocious, either way.
>>5327889
His name is right in the post.
>>5327889
He's called Ksatria Bayangan Hitam.
>>5327899
>Late 80's
Kaiketsu Zubat had more believable stunts than that.
>>5326359
Yes, I usually just hope for the best when I order stuff.
You really can't get around it though. Some people claim that SAL parcels have a higher chance of going through the customs but I can't verify this.
Yes, you pay the courier at the door but you will always have to pay the additional fee so I don't recommend it unless you have a lot of money to spend.

http://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/2015/12/09/174217
>>5328076
Stupid country..
Guess I'll try to use SAL as much as possible, unless if I'm in a hurry, just as a superstition.
I suppose it wouldn't be so much of a problem if I didn't live in the Arsch der Welt, with nothing around.
€27 is a bit fee just for convenience, seeing as that can be anywhere from half to twice the cost of the item..
Thank you so much for your replies though!
>>5328152
Second one looks like it could be something like Black RX.
And here it looked like $1 would equal 124¥ not that many days ago.
Btw, why doesn't Kamen Rider have an ED theme, while Sentai does?
>>5328152
3 Riders and 2 villains! More waves confirmed! So happy!
Anyone know what's going on in that blog post? Or even the image? The Google translation is awful.
>>5328150
>http://p-bandai.jp/gashadepa/special-1000005764/
$65 for one Eyecon that doesn't work with the belt?
>>5328363
easy mistake to make, but that 6,500 refers to how many will be produced, not the price
>>5327819
Hayata, the original Ultraman
>>5328363
I betcha it will work witha yet unsee belt.
Ah, in Shodo Vs they're adding more villains to make the Vs suffix make sense. That is really cool. 3 to 2 is a good ratio for wave 2. Wonder how they'll continue onward. Loving this line!
>>5328943
Just to continue, they also seem to emphasize that it won't just be the boss villains (executives), so I guess a lot of variety is possible. It'd be great if someone could properly translate that blog page.
Why is Japanese Mandarake more expensive than English Mandarake? It's not by much only like 480yen or so. Is it taxes?
>>5329165
Yes.
>>5328152
"Tenohirado SHODO Rider VS the end of the announcement!?"
That's the title... What is this article trying to say? Garbage translation below.
"This specification, bitter lineup and price freeze,!
If you really have to achieve this, indeed Amazing.
If this is indeed, the series must have to continue.
Trial Balance (provisional) but because worries ...
"SHODO Rider VS" 2nd everybody is looking forward to the
Please wait while now."
So what does this all mean? The future is uncertain for the line? If so why? Or is it happening but just whenever it's ready? Can someone who can read Japanese help with the key points of the article?
Is there a toku toy of the year?
>slowly acquiring a lot of the Ultra Act series
>realize that other than Ace Killer and Belial I dont know what other villains to get
Are any of the Aliens particularly good?
>>5329186
Prior to Yokai Watch skyrocketing, the main Rider belt was the best selling boys toy for several years.
http://www.toynes.jp/ranking2014/
>>5329215
I was thinking more your favorite toku toy release of the year, but okay
>>5329198
Eleking is great, good luck getting him for a decent price though.

>>5329231
Can't into moon is that last box saying there's a secret figure or something along the lines of 'you don't know which one you're going to get'?
>>5329165
It's 80 yen per 1k. You're better off shopping in Japanese anyway to avoid awful machine translation errors dividing up your search results.
>>5329238
Secret figure
>>5329231
Sorry everything is down for me, what's the difference between this rider 1 and the one from the first series?
>>5329231
>Shocker trooper
yes.
YES.
>>5329433
Sakurajima version. Different eyes, hands, possible weapons. Should be some longer antenna I feel, based on other looks at the suit. Basically an update to the Rider 1 suit.
A little disappointing to have him so early as a repaint variant more or less, but the villain plus the combatman are an interesting choice and the other 2 Riders are pretty cool. Hope to get some more of the uniquely designed Riders in the future. Really interesting about the mystery figure. Definitely getting this wave too. Lots of Showa stuff to do, and if this line can keep going and get into Heisei that'd be great. I have a feeling with a villain like this people may actually see this line as one with potential for huge, expansive growth.
What the fuck is up with this /tokuGen/?
Is this a scam or a sale?

There are tons more items for dirty cheap too.
>>5329455
That's shop's name isn't very reassuring. Probably a bit too good to be true. You can try if you'd like. Amazon's buyer protection should be able to help worst to worst.
>>5326158
I've been wondering if the green and white mech form arms to make the robot look better. It could look kinda neat if they do since it's got the whole pixel thing going on. If these are supposed to be little puzzle boxes and the green and white ranger's mechs form better arms I can dig it because the arms are the only thing really throwing me off.
>>5329231
>6 figures
>only 10 per box
I hope that it's set up to be 5 Shocker Troopers and then one each of the other 5 figures.
>>5329461
That's what I've noticed, I looked through their past sell history and saw that they've asked people to "Cancel their Orders" because they fucked up the pricing.
Shouldn't that be the fault of the seller and not the buyer?
>>5329455
Shop has shit reviews, I know there was a sale a few months back where a bunch of bandai stuff went up cheap (with prime no less), but I wouldn't trust them with that feedback.
>>5329467
Yeah, because I already have enough bullshit to deal with.
It was just strange because I was looking at AC13 Kiwami arms that I was going to turn into Great Leader, then I saw $10 SHF Drive.
>>5329465
Not sure how likely that is but if we even get 3 of the troopers that will be a victory. 1 of each main villain (assuming secret is a villain) 2 of Nigo and 1, 1 of Riderman, and 3 Troopers would be my guess. If yours comes to pass, wow. That'd be a perfect assortment of 10 for those who buy the case.
>>5329231
There has to be a reason for the mystery character, no? A Heisei Rider? What else could possibly be worth hiding?
Shodo Vs wave 2 is up for preorder for those interested at amiami.

>>5329474
>2 of Hongo
I expect it and will accept it, but he was case heavy in the last assortment, so I'm hoping it's not.
I'm personally hoping for an Amazon with articulated mouth as the secret 6th, but I'm expecting it's a Shocker variant.

I'd be alright with that, a captain or elite trooper to lead the troops when an executive or other higher up isn't around. Secret paint variant seems like it'd make sense.
Amiami has some new pics. There's one where a trooper is holding a katana. Yay for accessories.

I just hope that's not the 'secret', but I doubt it is.

Just go for it the next time it comes up. Sellers liquidate merchandise because having it sit in their warehouse/getting it returned is really expensive. Amazon's buyer protection has your back.

Alien Magma is pretty cool, two different heads each with three different mouthplates for different expressions, plus you can switch out the hands for a hook or a blade.
Eyecon Driver G with the Grateful Eyecon
>>5329655
>>5329715
Basic? It's got a screen up front and a top panel that matches the eyecon you choose, plus the built in sounds of the eyecons and the ability to work with the toys like the sword.
>>5329715
>basic belt
Lel, it's going to be 6000 yen at minimum.
>>5329667
Ugh this is tragic, hopefully this isn't the final form. I would have preferred the final form peripheral to have some functionality with the ghost driver.
>>5329724
>screen
Yeah, no. It's more than likely a giant cylinder inside the belt that rotates to the different names just like the actual Eyecons.
>>5329794
No way it's that simple, specifically mentions the LEDs and when it goes dark it's basically clear.
>>5329805
Yeah that seems pretty simple to me. It just has 7 LED colors, the 15 icon sounds plus what ever it's finisher is, and a wheel that cycles through the Eyecon images on the too.
Doesn't really feel like it should be 6k.
>>5329819
It's a new belt and it's current day Bandai.
where do you store your belts guys?
I've been running out of space and i cant seem to find a way to place them.
>>5329831
In a tub under my bed. Same for all the DX toys.
>>5329831
Don't attach the belt bits unless you're straight up planning on wearing them at the time. Makes them take up double the space for no reason.
Mine are basically just scattered around my room on different shelves with extra bits still in their original boxes. Kept the boxes in a closet to eventually put the belts back if they took up too much space and to hold the extra stuff as well.
>>5328740
....oh.
I thought it was Daisaku Kusama.
>>5329831
Gotta display that shit.
>>5330013
oh that does look lovely, idk if I can afford them cabinets though, nor would i know where to put them in my room lol
>>5330013
There's liking Gaim then there's recognizing you may have a problem.
So for the past 2 months I have been on a bit of an SHF binge. So much so that I am probably gonna take a break off non-preorder purchases for next year.
First just recently I got my Proto Drive. Really nice. Great matte finish that looks as good as imagined it. I was concerned that his rear light and shoulder lights were just painted on, but watching the Episode 0 again I realized it was surprisingly like that on the suit.
And, on the same day no less, I got type Formula. I dunno... I know Bandai can have issues with accuracy and go their own way, but I think they were VERY liberal with the sculpt this time. Still, love Formula. I know people are really divisive on the radical, bulky design but I think it's great.
>>5330083
In all seriousness, I did get Formula. Interesting to get two ends of the evolutionary (and design) spectrum for Drive. Knew it would look great as an SHF. Still, putting on those damn stickers is a real labor of love. Even if you go at it using a pin or stick, the design has a lot of little crevices to screw you up. Of course there's also worry of how well they will stick over time. You really need to love Formula which isn't easy for some people, I know. Articulation is limited by the design, but so was the suit.
Then Groundain, Drive before Drive. Loved his design to death as much I do Drive designs. Heavily detailed, bulky, and really runs with the motif. Loose legs, which I expected from reviews. Don't have his sister yet, but plan to. Metal Sonic in shot because both of these suit remind me a lot of him. In fact, it can be said he is the inspiration for my tastes in these suits.
ZO is really simple, but really interesting to look at in any pose due to how his gold trimm follows his body. Solid everything. Want to display him with his little grasshopper friend but I am afraid of it being lost. Tempting me to get Doras.
Kiva La pushed me to get Femme, who I have been wanting for a while anyway because the suit is lovely. Pretty tiny head, like a couple of other SHF of the time. However that is just about the only proportional issue I had. The rest of the body works well, which is the issue I had with some of the other Ryuki Riders where it looks like Bandai's sculptors looked more at the weirdly proportioned concept art rather than the actual suits. She an actually hold her weapon, unlike Kiva La...
>>5330155
Finally, my most anticipated figure of the bunch. Got it for the design, but Metronome's sub of the show got me to actually start watching the show which made me anticipate it even more.
It's amazing. I am sad that the Japanese had to have weak bladders and piss their pants when Hibiki breathed a monster on fire. Or at least sad they are so central in Bandai's demographic for Rider SHF, as justified as it is. We ain't getting more Oni Riders anytime soon and that saddens me. Never have SHF joints blended so well with a design.
My new favorite SHF(SS), for sure. Can't recommend enough.
>>5330155
>unlike Kiva La...
>I don't know the hot water/cold water trick
>>5330189
I am making the judgement out of the box. Like I know how to tighten joints, but that does not mean it should allow toys to come loose, you know?
Plenty other holding things hands are solid and sturdy. Even Femme's, which are some of the most solid I have used despite being her hands being about as small as Kiva La's hands.
>>5330351
If it is the actual final form, then maybe.
If it's the midseason transformation, then no.

So Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, transformed Jabel, and a secret one
That's a good set for 6k

thanks for the suggestion guys
i made a make shift shrine in the corner of my room
>>5330628
Cute comforter, faggot.
>>5330642
oh fuck. oh man, dont make fun of me guys, my mom did my bed.
>>5329231
So psyched for these, especially for the fact that it's focused on the older stuff. I hope it lasts longer than Motion Revive.
>>5330628
I remember when I only had one shelf for my toku toys, then I was able to buy another shelf so one can have all Sentai toys and one has all Rider toys. Now my collection has already spread on top of my computer table and our dresser. It's kinda like a plague that slowly spreads and takes over my whole room.
>>5330642
Dude, he just wants lots and lots of trains.
what was the secret figure in shodo vs 1? did it not have one?
>>5330749
I haven't heard or seen one, i think it's something new they're adding to the second series, just like how they're expanding the roster to 5 figures..
>>5330749
Nope. Just Ichigo, V3, X, and Apollo Geist
>>5330751
6. There will be a secret figure and a reprint
>>5330756
Oh really? Wow, I had thought they were one and the same.
That's really neat.
>>5330756
What do you mean reprint? 5 new figures (Rider 1 is similar but has a few differences to represent a different costume) and a 6th secret figure that we don't yet know.
>>5330799
I meant 'repaint', sorry. It's still the same from what I can see, perhaps you could point out anything like remolding I missed?
>>5330818
It's supposed to be the Sakurajima variant. To be honest, the only difference I see is the eyes being red instead of the pinkish yellow of the last one. I think he's supposed to have a sword? At least based on the Figuarts, so I would assume he might come with that? Honestly, it's a tiny change... I personally would have preferred a different character, or at least more drastically different costume, but that's alright. Variants of Rider 1 are to be expected.
>>5330835
Yeah, my fear is that the 'secret' is a Red Gloves Nigo. Personally, I'd be ok with them waiting on that until SHODO Kamen Rider 3.
>>5330840
I guess that might be expected to keep costs low, but hopefully they keep repeats of characters to a minimum. I'd hope that this line would become expansive with multiple characters, not just variants of a few Riders. Only one repaint so far so I'm not going to cry doom and gloom just yet though.
>>5330846
I'm guessing we might get a Shocker Rider in wave 4 or something. I'm hoping the secret figure will be a new mold. They've done it before in Motion Revive where the secret is significantly new.
I imagine we'll also see Combatant variants, which I'm totally fine with desu.
I was hoping one of the Birth SICs would drop on the aftermarket since some of the OOOs did, maybe it's too soon for that?
Disgusting
>>5331504
I love it.
>>5331504
not bad i like the skull look it has
>>5331504
>Balderus having shit taste yet again
>>5331504
I dig the eyeball look it has. Reminds me of Javel's monster form.
>>5331534
I may have shit taste, but that doesn't change his bad helmet design. All they would have to do is change the center to look somewhat like a pupil and bring the horn up a little bit.
All of the other suits are top tier though.
>>5321989
Anyone? I really want it, I can hardly contain my excitement. I hope I get it by my Birthday (20th) or barring that Christmas, but it is getting to look unlikely.
>>5331571
Psyga handled Necrom's visor better than Necrom. Just needs to add a pupil and shrink the horn width.
>>5331624
15th
>>5331504
With Ghost having 1 horn and Spectre having 2, I was really expecting Necrom to have 3 horns. and then the ones after that to have 4 etc.
It would have been awesome if they just kept increasing the horn count for Ghost's riders, but oh well.
>>5331504
The face is kind of interesting. I'd have to see the whole suit to judge it for sure though. I really like Ghost and Specter's designs, so I'll probably like Necrom if he keeps the same kind of aesthetic.
>>5330118
Gorgeous
>>5331504
WHO'S THIS BEN 10 LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER JUST KIDDING FUCKING BOUGHT FIGUARTS WHEN LOOK AT THAT CREEPY "MOUTH" REMEMBER THE LESS PEOPLE THAT LIKE IT THE EASIER IT'LL BE TO GET
>>5331689
>REMEMBER THE LESS PEOPLE THAT LIKE IT THE EASIER IT'LL BE TO GET
It'll be an exclusive, so not like it matters.
