S.H.Figuarts Thread: G4!

I'm just really grateful the New Rider #2 isn't an exclusive, because it is for the MG Figurise model kit and always has been for Medicom's RAH DX figures.

I really hope we get another release of Eternal as well, not just because I missed out on getting him but I think they should redo his body mold; like include the new cape that came with Red Flare and fill in those 26 slots or something...... Since Skull got another release as Crystal I don't see why not. And I wouldn't count the Red Flare as his "another" release already..... =_+

Magnugiga and Venosnaker would probably show up soon enough, I'm just wondering how they're going to do Genocider ......... or if they're going to make them combineable or what not....... knowing Figuarts, they'd def. go for more aesthetics more than playability, so Cider would be on his own...... or they can be MAD people and release a Venosnaker AND a Genocider with that figuarts Ouja........ :coolshades: one can only dream.................

The mirror monster sets had them combine and it honestly took nothing away from the look of Genocider. It only looks weird if you got the R&M one.

He's a main Rider. Main Riders are never exclusives.

From past history, the general rule of thumb for Figuarts is:

Main Riders, Secondary Riders, "major" forms for Main Riders, ultimate forms for Main Riders, highly prominent costumed supporting cast = mass release.

Movie Riders, Secondary Rider alt forms, "minor" forms for Main Riders, kaijin, bikes, accessories = web exclusives.

Take OOO for example. The mass releases are:

- OOO main form
- OOO major combos (GataKiriBa, RaToraTa, etc.)
- OOO ultimate form
- Birth
- Ankh

The exclusives are:

- mix and match OOO combos
- effect parts and accessories
- Greeds
- movie exclusive combos

There are some exceptions (the Double and First bikes, the Kabuto movie Riders), but you can usually rely on this pattern being true about 95% of the time.

Again, for example, we don't have any Blade Figuarts yet, but I can already predict that the line-up will look like this:

Mass release:

- Blade, Garren, Chalice, and Leangle
- Blade King form

Exclusives:

- Blade and Garren Jack form
- Wild Chalice
- Glaive, Lance, and L'arc
- Blue Spader

It's just a matter of knowing the pattern.

Actually the R&M ones and the Mirror Monster set ones are the same mold, with the difference of paint apps; the MM sets having more black spray paint shade, and the R&M looking cleaner and more shiny.

It looks like the new figuarts Darkwing and Dragredder are molded slightly different than the previous 2 version, so that why I was thinking they'd probably do the same thing with the green and purple beasts.

You haven't seen how other toy lines work. Bandai has no rules.

Then they've done a really good job of faking it so far with the Rider Figuarts.

Yea I know I owned them all. I sold them in hopes of getting figuarts versions in the future. I'm glad I did.

I'm actually quite surprised we haven't seen a Blade Figuarts release yet. Maybe after they do Ryuki... *Fingers crossed*

I had all the R&Ms but sold most of them in trade for the Souchaku Henshin ones....... and I have almost all the DK figmas and I'm planning to get all the figuarts..... eventually....

Since Ryuki is special to me I plan to have a shelf dedicated to "just" Ryuki Figuarts stuff, everything else in the Decade / Diend / Heisei Rider Upgraded Complete and whatever related shelves will be filled in by the Souchakus ~

Oh ya and I got my Straight Cougar Today !! ^_^ Or should I say yesterday....... will open him up and play with him when I'm done work ~
