Why this? Why not the Goldstorm one if they're going to do another Ryuga version?

>>5568326

Necrom's coat is glossy vinyl. It looks like the figure will be matte.

>>5568351
I've yet to watch goldstorm, what's the difference?

>>5568820
goldstorm has a big frilly gay collar

>>5568820

Most of the differences are above the waist, with the shoulder pads and the collar the easiest to notice. I think the helmet is also slightly different.

Mach turned out fine. If anything Necrom will probably turn out fine as well.

You only have to worry about off whiteness if the Rider uses material pearlescent finish. Neither Mach nor Necrom has that.

nigga, you what?

I feel like a complete idiot for missing the pre-order for ghost. Am I SOL for ever getting one now?

I don't give a shit about the pre order bonuses, just want to pick one up through a store rather than secondhand, suprised that CStoys didn't put anything up for it.

>>5570958
You'll be able to pick him up when he's released, or places might open his POs up closer to release.

His popularity isn't like Decade's or anything (who vanished off the market quickly)

>>5570958
He was available for almost a month, meaning practically no-one cares about his SHF enough to rush for it. You'll be fine getting one on Mandarake.

>>5570958
bruh he's up for preorder on hlj right now

>>5570958

People are souring on Ghost a bit. I wouldn't be shocked if there are quite a few people trying to flip him because they don't want him anymore.

I have noticed a trend, of people posting about something being sold out on preorder, that is available on HLJ. It's like they don't know it exists.

>>5570990
>I wouldn't be shocked if there are quite a few people trying to flip him because they don't want him anymore.
I doubt it, given the show actually improved. Still wouldn't consider it great, but it's no longer awful like the early episodes were.

But yeah, you will be able to find Figuarts Ghos easily. The SHFSS Kabuto reissue sold out so much faster than Ghost or Spectre for fucks sake.
I feel sorry for Ghost...

>>5571089
Yeah, it's probably because when they go to check, it doesn't show up in the search for some reason, but they usually reopen when it's close to release(and obviously when people cancel).
The same happened with the Decade SHFSS. No one really knew that he went back up on hlj a week or two before release and he was up for a good while.

>>5569879
I got mine today from mandarake. Really neat figure. I love the head design.

I also got my Wolf orphnoch. I find it incredibly disappointing. It's still sort of neat, but I was hoping for more.

>>5571282
Or we could finally get a Knight reissue. Though this is really cool too.

>>5572269
Yeah. The line has come a long way and I am very happy for it. Made a collage of comparisons between the Rider and SHF of every pre-Gaim Hesei Rider without an SHFSS.

Wizard remains to be the most offensive. It is like the sculptor produced his SHF off memory alone. All the armor is completely wrong. Plus, while most of the older SHFs had this weird thing weird the Belts worked like corsets pinching the waists of their wearers, Wizard really takes the cake. They made Takaiwa look like a teenage girl using the Wizard Driver.

Hopefully they all get beefed up to SHFSS at some point. Some sooner than later.

>>5572360

Fourze and Ryuki look the best to me.

>>5572360

A lot of early Figuarts just have the problem of being too skinny/lanky. Wizard's proportions are ridiculously fucked up in all regards. His head and feet are too big, his torso is too short, his waist is practically nonexistent. It's crazy. Beast suffers from the same problems.

If anyone in that collage desperately needs an SS, it's Double, though.

>>5572360

>>5572252
I see the differences here, but frankly, they're not so dramatically bad that I'm wailing for a SS ASAP. I think there are others that need it far worse first. Like what even was the deal with Renewal Shadowmoon? It's better than the original, to be sure, but the original wasn't even a bad representation of him. I could have waited a while on that one--if Bandai wanted to remake something so badly, they should have redone that awful Roborider.

>>5572360
Yeah, Wizard is by far the worst. Those proportions are entirely fucked (clown feet and supermodel waist), the headsculpt is awful, and the wide, ballooning skirts look terrible. Though to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the suit/show in general, so I'm not that motivated for a SS. I'm really hoping for my favorite rider, Faiz, to finally be done justice. OOO and Fourze weren't that badly done IMO, but I definitely wouldn't say no to better versions of them since they are two of my other faves.

>>5572418
I wouldn't say G3-X is Shadowmoon tier, though.

Just look at his belt, his pinched head, that G3-X print, his spidery long legs, or his crotch that doesn't exist thanks to aforementioned legs taking up space.

Good for its time and still fun as a toy, but Bandai has the newfound competency and techniques to have Tamashii Nations go all the way this time.

>>5572365

They still tend to be on the lanky side. Sigurd is a stick man.

No. I have hated the look of Ghost since day one, and I have continued to hate with every new suit reveal. It's just so clunky and unbalanced and tacky. There are ELEMENTS of the suit that could have been cool, like the clear panels, but god, it's just so poorly executed. On paper, I should love it--I love ghosts, and hoodies, and clear parts.

Hey Tokufriends, my girlfriend just bought me my first SIC and I'm looking to buy one of the ACT stages. Any recommendations on which ones to pick up? There any guides about worth reading?

When do the Cube Mogura and Cube Kuma preorders drop?

>>5575800

>>5574934
Please tell me that Deep Specter eyecon isn't with the Sunglasslasher recolor, I already have one and don't really want a second one.

>>5575800
What sic did you get?

>>5575982
Rider 1. Starting at the beginning I'd like to work my way through the Showa Era first. Though the OOOs stuff is off the chain.

>>5575992
Good luck waiting on V3

>>5575871
Its not, it is by itself.

>>5575800
Either act 4 (and tighten it a bit) or act 5. Act 5 has ratchets so it's more suited for heavier figures, though it isn't as versatile as the other act.

>>5575853
Mogura is April, no clue for the others. I think TheWorld's cube animals are may though.

Hi newbie.

>Kiva
We already got one of his main form. There really isn't that much of a reason for them to release one of his base form now, it was the worst kamen rider show so far (subjectively) and it has zero traction/appeal right now.

If they ever redo Ixa, which would actually be pretty neat, then maybe they'll also do base Kiva. The real tragedy is that we'll never get Garuru Kiva with an alt head for holding his sword in his mouth.

>>5576652
He is too pure for this world.

Remember kids, always put out your cigarettes before you throw them away!

>>5576651
Congrats, you just got it pushed back by another three months.

>>5576697
How do I get it pushed back by another 10 years?

>>5576699
By offering up sacrificial cum on Kiva-la

>>5576652

Almost definitely.

The Amazons Register armband apparently constantly pumps drugs into an Amazon's system to help them control their transformed states, but only for a limited time. Once it runs out, drugs won't work anymore and the Amazon will be an uncontrollable beast. Mole is implied to have been fighting as an Amazon for a while and part of his character seems to be building a friendly rapport with Omega, so there will almost certainly be a sequence where his Register dies and Omega is forced to kill a rampaging Mole.

>>5576677
>There really isn't that much of a reason for them to release one of his base form now,
The fact that he's the only main Kamen Rider that has yet to be released is a pretty big deal, dude.
I mean, aside from J who's just a movie Rider anyway.
>and it has zero traction/appeal right now.
When SHFSS Decade was first revealed, Bandai had to remove the panel decoration which had Kiva's silhouette on it (as people kept asking about the possibility of SHFSS Kiva), iirc.
Just because you don't want it doesn't mean there isn't appeal for a Figuarts Kiva. I still remember people bitching about the lack of Kiva's base form when Kiva Emperor/Dark and IXA were getting released, even.

Plus, Bandai fucked Kiva Emperor hard with that paint job. It's no wonder he went on clearance (while Dark Kiva had no issues) back then.

>>5576748
>I mean, aside from J who's just a movie Rider anyway.

J is the one Rider I'm waiting on now.

>>5576751
And I'm personally waiting for Kiva.

Your photo is adorable enough for me to forgive you.

Seriously though, i personally would love to get J as soon as possible. I'm seriously jaded on Kiva ever since i actually watched the show, so i don't care if/when it gets a figuarts... because i'm getting the SIC.

>>5576651
>>5576677
>>5576963
People have talked about how the line is following the initial releases, so lets make some assumptions. Ignore The Next, pass initial Den-O figures because it's non-Riders to start, ignore series outside of the phase 1 silhouettes, and don't expect excess Riders to be renewed.

You get Kabuto -> Kuuga -> Agito -> Decade -> Faiz -> Kiva -> Ryuki -> Den-O -> Blade

>>5577001
>Hibiki is so hated and binned so hard even anon forgets to list him

>>5577002
Hibiki isn't counted into this because the SS was the first figuarts he ever got.

>>5576974
The SIC is exactly why I didn't bother getting Figuarts Dark Kiva. He's just so damn sexy.
But yeah, I'd like my Kiva to be pretty vanilla personally. I do hope J gets a Figuarts soon, too (even though I probably wouldn't buy him myself, he is pretty cool.)
>>5577001
Like that other Anon mentioned, Hibiki breaks the rule. Since Kiva base never had a Figuarts, they can very much make him out of the blue.

>>5577019
The difference between Kiva and Hibiki is that Hibiki the series had no figuarts at all while Kiva the series had Ixa, Rising Ixa, Emperor, Dark Kiva, and a prototype Saga. I feel pretty comfortable saying that they'll follow that guideline and that Kiva will release in that spot.

He had a Souchaku Henshin figure, which was the line that came before/evolved into S.H. Figuarts.

>>5577026
Fair enough. No point in arguing over what are all assumptions.

While I want Kiva, I want a new Faiz and Kaixa even more. I absolutely cannot and will not complain about them getting SHFSS before Kiva.

>>5572360
Looking into the details of each comparison to see errors is one thing, but I have just recently found what I think is the ultimate testament to how off these are.

Instead of looking at the close up, look at them from a distance. You'll focus more on their silhouettes which will show just how terribly unfit those old wonky ass SHF proportions are. Blade, Den-O, W, OOO, and Wizard are the worst of the bunch in that respect.

Also, I think Wizard is using whatever base body they used for Den-O, which I believe is much older than SHF Sword Form. Looks like the same underlying proportions. I can't believe they tried to peddle something so old and outdated again.

>>5577080
Wizard is just gross. I paid 2000 yen for my Flame Dragon and still feel like I overpaid. The waist just looks weird and they made no effort to make the coat look like one continuous piece. He came with a stand but if you actually use it you just end up drawing more attention to his clown shoes. And of course, tumors for rings, one of which is nonsensically the driver on ring for every single figure in the line. Say what you will about the show, it's a tragedy that such a great suit was stuck with probably the worst figuart in history, and will never be updated because of how unpopular the show was.

>>5577080
you are crazy if you think OOOs and W are the worst.
Ryuki is probably the worst in my opinion.

>>5577191
Ryuki had excellent figuarts. Yes, the proportions are stylized, but they still look good and came with Contract Monsters. Modern Bandai would never even dream of doing such a thing when the monsters can be sold as exclusives for 12k yen each.

>>5574898
whoa, as in the mole beastman? I knew about alpha, omega, and omega wild but didn't hear about mole. Have they shown him off yet?

>>5577191
They have some of the worst proportions among them, which is what I am trying to get across in that post.

They don't even come close with matching the suits right next to them in that regard. Very similar to blade who seems to have a similar base which I would not be surprised is the same base body just with the modified engineering.

Ryuki as well as its own proportion problems, looking like they studied the weirdly porportioned concept art rather than the suit for some dumb reason. However in this image OOO and W (and Blade) all have these shared issues that are hard to ignore. Yeah, the details of their suits are not that fucked up by comparison if only because there is little detail to fuck up. However their bodies are fucked. Only beaten by the base body seemingly shared between Den-O and Wizard. Granted there are still issues with details such as OOOs lines either being too thick or thin (Tiger forearms being completely wrong) or the W Driver having strangely wider arcs.

>>5577285
nah dude, you are still insane.
Yeah, W and OOOs are off model in almost every aspect, but they are still rather close and couldn't be noticed at a glance. But Ryuki is so bad it was the most evident difference in toy to suit besides Wizard.

>>5577296
>giant bulging shoulderpads and squished heads can't be noticed at a first glance

There's inaccurate pieces on Ryuki but they don't look that bad, especially if you're not looking at a side-by-side with the original suit.

>>5577296

SIC Flame Dragon can be found on mandarake for 2k which I would heavily recommend for anyone who likes Wizard's style. The upgrade they use is one of my favorite changes.

I don't know about that. Agito is a great base they could basically re purpose if they wanted, you see people doing the same for other customs. Just make it an exclusive.

>>5577325
ryuki has a chest piece that is way too high on his torso, shoulder pads that are almost head height and the basic proportional issues all the other figuarts suffer.

SHF Ryuki's chest armor is actually far too low. Or big. However you look at it, the long legs kill don't give a crap about any other body part here and takes as much space as it wants.

Redid the chart a bit. That Ryuki comparison was an old one I did months ago and lazily slapped in here. So now there is a better one. Also a better frontal shot of SHF W since the black background of the other one muddled it a bit. Seemed like a bit of a topical change to make too.

Also there's a Secondary chart now.

No Gattack or Diend since their SHFSS are pretty much done now and it is just a matter of when they will be released at this point. G3-X comparison to make it an even 12.

"Old Tamashii Nations" seemed to have too much of a thing for legs. And tiny waists. It is like those girl cosplayers that insist on cosplaying male characters.

>>5577648

I understand that licensing a celebrity's face to use for merchandise is expensive, but they could at least try to make it look a -little- like ScarJo.

>>5577648
Just because one or two of them are shit doesn't make them all trash.

>>5577681
I enjoy the Ryuki models too, but something that turns me off to them is their arm joints constantly feel super stiff.

>>5577927
that would literally be grounds for infringing on someone's likeness, so no they really can't

>>5577927
I know I am ringing subjectanon's dinner bell and shit, but I don't think it's that bad. Face is definitely stretched out, but still at least reminiscent of the actor.

So what are the figures to get for someone just getting into these? I just picked up this guy and he's pretty fun but he needs friends/enemies. I don't have any real attachment to the source material so I figure I'd ask before choosing based on whatever looks cool.

I'll suck your dick for lockseeds.

>>5582058
You started off with a great figure, Agito is fantastic.

Kamen Rider ZO is a really solid and neat figure that comes with plenty of neat stuff, i think everyone should have one of him.

There's also cheap Kamen Rider Drive Type Wild figures on Amiami. Don't let the price fool you, it's a very articulated and well detailed figure that comes with both a sword and a drill weapon, but since it was an unpopular form from the show not many people were interested in it.

>>5582141
does anyone have a picture of the boxes for the SHSS figures?

>>5582162
Yea they keep a gallery up over on google.com

>>5582141
Maybe the surprise is that everone behind Gaim and Drive plus Fourze now has an SHFSS prototype almost about ready to go to market now.

At least I like to think so. Because how can anyone with any awareness or pride show Wizard with no intention of going "Hey, remember this piece of garbage? Boom. Here is a new one." is beyond me.

Would be be good to see. Especislly since I feel like they have been pretty quite with Kamen Rider releases so far this year, relatively speaking. I mean damn, the preorder month with Ant-man had nothing for KR.

>>5582141

>conspicuously missing Kiva

I think they're just doing it to fuck with people at this point.

>>5582300
Or because there literally isn't a base form Kiva figure to show...

>>5582300
Kiva doesn't have a Figuarts. Why would they show an old Sochaku Henshin figure that doesn't represent the line shown anyways?

Maybe a translation for the English speakers? All I got was "That rider too?"

>>5582374
Also says "the future of SH Figuarts."

Also something about a large set being shown, which I hope entails this situation: >>5582179

I can only hope that this Features is a big event. At least for Kamen Rider. Tamashii Nations has gotten too big to hide all their latest news and progress at 1 event at the end of every October. They at least need biannual big events.

I want to see all those old shits in the back getting redone. And Kiva.

Alternatively the big news could be something akin to Ultraman moving to SHF. Meaning all Kamen Rider stuff from this point forward will be SHFSS.

>>5582398
Honestly the biggest differences between an SS and the average Drive figure we're the box and the price. There's really no difference in engineering.

>>5582398
>I want to see [...] Kiva.

Looks like it's another three months

>>5582409
The base body sculpt is different though. Not saying it is bad. It is pretty close to how SHFSS Agito's body is in capturing their shared suit actor. However I could see them wanting to now just settle on their best sculpt of Takaiwa (and others) from now on and just swap between types of engineering like Hibiki's hips or Agito's hips where they see fit. I mean if you got his body pretty much down pat now, no point in trying to reinvent the wheel again every season in a lesser line right? He is currently most of the main Riders, so getting him down means much of the work for the primary Hesei Riders are complete. They can work on the same base they made for Agito and Decade without much debate now because the body doesn't suck.

So what're the odds of an shfss Amazon getting fast lined to take advantage of the new show?

>>5582409

The have that sweet extending waist and have skellies in them.

EVERYONE except kiva IS GETTING AN SHFSS!

>>5582398
>>5582409
It won't be the number of announcements we're used to but the site seems to be teasing something.

As for the SS difference, they find it noteworthy enough that the skeleton design process gets the main display here.

>>5582485

We're more likely to get Alpha and Omega before an SS Amazon. OG Amazon just got a rerelease with Jungler within the past year and he's a fine figure as it is.

>>5582560

Yeah he's still the best showa release I think but an shfss would be beefier and have a better torso.

Amazon and Zangetsu where the only times I spent scalper prices on an shf and never regretted it.

>>5582560
>>5582609
Nahhhh, son. Amazon deserves better than this. The proportions on the existing SHF are really not great, and the poseable pecs make the chest so ugly.

Just the articulation?

>>5582783

They're completely different figures. Figuarts takes accuracy/articulation > gimmick, other toy is more for kids and does whatever the suit does in the show.

Nigga what? There's a hell of a lot more to it. The level of detail is vastly higher with Figuarts, same for the paint and plastic quality. One is a toy for kids to smack around and have fun with the gimmicks, the other is a collector's figure for older fans to put in cool poses and take silly photos.

In a lot of ways, yes, but most of the Showa Ultras were of the same species. There's plenty of visual differences amongst them; they're just mostly subtle and not immediately recognizable if you're not already into the franchise. Designs definitely started to deviate when Tiga came out, though. They've done quite a bit with the standard "giant silver alien" template.

I only say this cause there's a Zyuoh King set, Zyuoh Wild set and there's a Wild Zyuoh King set up for pre-order. I hope this stays a thing from now on. Cause this is very handy for if I want to get the robos but want to save on shipping.

>>5584701
This has been happening since like Gaoranger.

>>5584710
For the full sets though like this http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-018114? Cause if so, I must have been blind for the past 10 or so years.

There were a few that were really big.

>>5584701
The bundles usually are retailers like toysrus exclusives, its been a while since ethyl did something this big being a general release.

>>5584736
>>5584768
>Toys r Us exclusives

Ah, that's why I haven't seen them then. I hope these do well enough stay as general releases.

I don't know, man.

Tonight's the night Boost goes up right?

>>5585043
Boost is up now, yeah, along with Shadow Moon restock.

>>5585043

Nah, he went up last night, but it's fine, he's still available for preorder.

>>5572597
but how is the new decade different from the old?

>>5585195
It's slightly larger and the sculpting and proportions are more accurate / detailed.
It's not anorexic like the old one.

Can't you just look up comparisons? The difference is pretty obvious. Take the Decade you have and compare it to this one or glance at these videos

Here, this should give you a pretty good idea of just some the differences.

Finally completed the SS line. Just waiting for Decade to arrives. I think my favourite is Kuuga and Kabuto. How about you guys?

>>5585303
I've got all but Kabuto, and I just got a preorder of the April restock in on HLJ yesterday. Gonna fall behind again when Kuuga Rising Mighty and Ultimate come out in a few months, cause IMO neither of them is worth the respective price they're asking. Decade and Hibiki are definitely my favorites because they actually have accessories.

>>5585225
That's one hell of a comparison, lol.

>>5585303
Kuuga is my favourite SS but I'm biased because Kuuga is my favourite rider.

>>5585449
I'm avoiding Rising Mighty but absolutely getting Ultimate when he's out since I'm missed the Pre-Order. Since they're doing Ultimate, I wonder if they'll do Hibiki Kurenai in the future or not...

>>5585501
Didn't Hibiki sell pretty poorly? I kinda doubt they wanna follow up on that.

And don't forget that they put a lot of effort on Decade's card

>>5585225

Is that the original or the Violent Emotion? There's supposed to be a minor difference between the two.

Either way, the Renewal looks so much better.

Original. VE had a more sinister looking helmet, something they were kind enough to include with the SS, instead of just releasing an entirely different figure like they did with the old Figuart.

...every time I post one of these photos from my folder I keep thinking I should really put up the review that I took them for.

>>5585686
The old VE SHF came with the two different heads as well.

VE Decade came with a slightly more accurate version of his regular head and was a slightly different shade of magenta.

Fuck me sideways. I got the Eyecon Driver G yesterday and there's somehow already a minor scratch on the clear lens.

You guys think it'd be possible to touch that up with plastic polish or something? Or would I just ruin the whole fucking thing even more? I've never tried something like this before.

>>5586361
Nobody cares to help? Am I arone? I guess I'll just have to experiment and hope for the best...

Fuck.

>>5585505
How do you remove those cards ? Did it need scissor or knife to cut it ?

>>5586794
They're plastic, they pop out.

>>5586795
Ah, Thanks for the reply.

>>5586795
One other thing, I know the cards can be inserted into the driver but can it also be stored inside the Ride Booker ?

>>5586800
No, there's no little nook for them to be stored properly in the booker. I guess you could put them in and hope for the best.

Do we have an actual date for Figuarts Ghost and the Kabuto re-issue? They both just say "April".

Use Tamiya compound, apply it with Tamiya sand paper (use p1500, the least rough one).

You need to use it in order by the red one first (coarse), then the blue one (fine) and use the black one (finish).

>>5585502
Yes, they're milking on Kuuga because Kuuga sells like a hotcake.

Although so, I do hope they will release Armed Hibiki in the future (and type Tridoron, for god's sake)

>>5586815
Thanks! Is there much of a difference between Tamiya and other brands who offer a very similar range of products? NOVUS for example?

Good shit. Good lookin' out, anon.

>>5586832
Not really sure, since I only ever use Tamiya for now.... I heard that toothpaste can also be used as alternative. (But I haven't try this one.)

>>5586838
Do they ever release figuarts before the last week of the month?

>>5587118
Drive Type Deadheat was released around the first weekend of August. The 8th, IIRC.

>>5586795

Oh sweet. I remember you had to cut out the old ones by hand.
