[TALK] S.H. Figuarts Thread: The Next

[musashi03]

People, people, calm down.

Nowhere on this scan does it say it's a Jusco release nor does it say it's coming out on the month of April. We're cool. Aight?

I ain't biting to that, especially since we have G3-X already.

See, you want to know what's messing with me?

Well, you know how their primary market the Japanese are...

Kevthepanda, I see you posting on toysdaily on the thread about SHF G3. Tell me, is anyone in Hong Kong THINKING that this is an April Fools or are they treating it like real news?

The scan (well, photo) is from the SHF mook, it's got the same layout and design.

And Happy April Fools, it is just a joke peeps. (It says so in the SHF chat thread)

It spread like wildfire to the other Hong Kong forums though.

How about we cool down and look at a custom Shining Agito instead.

Dear SH Figuarts Thread,

I think I have proven that this hoopla about Kamen Rider G3 being a Jusco exclusive is bullshit. On the Toysdaily and the Toy-World HK forums, the following description was appended to the scan of Kamen Rider G3. It's about the circumstances of the emergency sale of Kamen Rider G3 to Jusco. This is the description from the two topics.

Ladies and gentlemen, Exhibit A.

今月、緊急発売です！！
今月はギルス だけと思っていたみなさん、すいません。
アナザーアギト、グランドフォームが大好評の中、
仮面ライダーG3 4月24日（土）に緊急発売となります。

Looks legit enough. But I googled parts of the sentence, and guess where this led me to: Tamashii Web staff diary regarding the circumstances of the emergency sale of Kamen Rider Agito Flame Form and Storm Form to Jusco.

And this is the description copy-pasted from the official Bandai website. Exhibit B, if you will.

画像のS.H.フィギュアーツ2点、今月、緊急発売です！！
今月はRXだけと思っていたみなさん、すいません。
アナザーアギト、グランドフォームが大好評の中、
仮面ライダーアギトより、フレイムフォーム、ストームフォームが
7月25日（土）に緊急発売となります。

本商品は全国のジャスコ玩具取扱店舗での販売になります（一部店舗を除く）

Keep in mind, Exhibit B is the real thing. Exhibit A is trying to prove that it's a completely different thing. But the second sentence falls short.

今月はギルス だけと思っていたみなさん、すいません。

今月はRXだけと思っていたみなさん、すいません。

As you can see, the sentences were the exact same, save replacing "RX" with "Gills". And it does not stop there.

アナザーアギト、グランドフォームが大好評の中、

アナザーアギト、グランドフォームが大好評の中、

The sentence below it is also the exact, complete, same. Now, Bandai might be lazy and just copy-pasted their press release, but then where would it be? How come when I search for "アナザーアギト、グランドフォームが大好評の中、" it leads me to nothing about G3?

And that, is my argument that this entire thing is bullshit. Of course, a G3 is coming out. Just in a not-so-excruciating manner as a Jusco exclusive.

EDIT - Of course, in the middle of all this, Kevthepanda says it's bullshit. Thanks a lot for the confirmation!

How about we cool down and look at a custom BURNING Agito instead.

Fix'd. Very nice custom, but should've more buff & higher collar on the upper body.
