S.H. Figuarts Garo Golden Ryuga Ver Official Images

under Garo

The return of the GARO S.H. Figuarts continues! A new figure of the golden knight was recently seen in magazines scans, with many assuming it to be the renewal version of the Kouga Saejima version of the character previously seen at the 2014 Tamashii Nations event. However official images from Bandai’s Tamashii Web Shop can confirm this not to be the case, with the figure actually based on the golden version of Ryuga Dougai’s armour from the end of Yami o Terasu Mono (The One Who Shines in the Darkness)

A retool of the Garo Ryuga Ver. figure released a few months ago, Garo Golden Ryuga Ver. will be released in August as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced 6480 yen. He comes packaged with a selection of alternate hands as well as the Garo Ken sword and a slash effect part.

Check out the full range of images after the jump!

    If that's the Ryuga version, why are his eyes green? Ryuga's are orange and were green when he was Lost Shine Garo. Unless those pics are suppose to be the original/Kouga ver.

    Can only assume its an error then. It definitely isn't the Kouga armour - the design is different and the Tamashii webstore logo has specifically the Yami logo.

    EDIT: Nope, on inspection they were green in Yami at some point.

    Oh so it's basically the version the appears briefly when Ryuga (as Lost Shine Garo) deals a critical hit or defeats a Mado Horror and becomes closer to regaining Garo's golden brilliance/shine. That explains it...

    This is an easy and obvious thing for them to release, but I'm not really interested. Lost Shine Garo looks cooler anyway.

    Now Tamashii Nations, let's talk about that new Kouga Garo you showed off...

    Aha, that makes sense. I'd forgotten that was even a thing

    Kinda on the fence about getting this. I don't really need another Ryuga Garo unless it's a Gold Storm version, but it looks fantastic and the Lost Shine figure was incredible.

    Original is really dated in comparison. Details aren't as crisp, the hands are soft and gummy and the heavy legs (the feet are diecast) don't really do wonders for the hips. Mine are super loose.

    The Lost Shine version is just a better figure in pretty much every way. Which isn't all that surprising given the original is about 5 years old now.

    Awesome! thanks for the input. I've seen reviews online touting how great Lost Shine was, but wanted to know how it compared with the original. I owned it a few years back, but sold it thinking they were probably going to update it down the line. I'll definitely keep an eye out for Lost Shine in the future.
