The S.H.Figuarts Thread's Sixth Ranger

[GPAnthony]

Well, got some bad news for myself and other Figuarts Zero collectors...

According to Cybergundam's blog the remaining Film Z One Piece Zeroes are going to be Web Shop exclusives... and only sold in 3 figure sets. All three sets look like they'll be offered in December, here's the line up from the release announcement:

Set 1: Luffy, Chopper, Franky 8505 yen
Set 2: Zoro, Robin, Brook 9240 yen
Set 3: Sanji, Nami, Usopp 9240 yen

So, there are going to be 2 Film Z versions of Luffy and Chopper. Still no pics, though.

Also on the article are the Figuart Zero One Piece releases for March, with more Super Novas on the way:

X. Drake (hopefully in dinosaur form) 3675 yen
Basil Hawkins 3360 yen

No pics for them either, yet.

There's also a Kochi Kame Web Shop exclusive coming up too:

Daijiro Ohara 3990 yen

Not my photo, but he's using the effect parts from the Tamashi Nation GaoGaiGar to replicate the flames from Survive Mode…thought it was pretty cool:

The "V" on his forehead...

Which "V"?

Figma.

Figma.

Should've known it was the Figma…I mean I own the damned thing after all. :laugh:

He's not like the Kabuto Riders that looked kinda anorexic, is he?

Something like that. What they did (in my view) is take his chest plate and compressed it down to look more like part of his anatomy instead of armor. It didn't translate as well as it does in other riders, especially with the size and shape of his other helmets. Just compare the Raia figuart to the actual Raia suit and then do the same with G3, Agito, Kuuga, and finally Wizard, and you will see what I mean.

Which GGG did the flames come from? I thought it came with green flames...?

I think I prefer it when they make the figures properly beefy to look like stuntmen in costumes. Ixa was pretty skinny as well, which looks weird.

.

I said the Tamashi Nation one, so it's the gold plated one.

I posted a photo gallery I found of it on the first page[/shamelessplug]

But you would have to think about how that would effect posability. A top heavy figure isn't as dynamic as a well proportioned one. IXA doesn't look that skinny to me...at least not as much The First version of Rider 2.

Isn't balance the reason they have die-cast feet? Granted, there's so very little of it nowadays. Anyway, Ixa is extra weird since it's supposed to be armor he's wearing, I don't have the First/Next Riders (although, I know they're skinnier than the Showa versions).

Although, it could be that there's some exaggaration compared to the actual costume, with wide parts made to look even wider on the figure, and perhaps thin areas made to look thinner.

Why aren't these magical circle and flame effect the first release bonus? D:
