S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha & Omega, Zoffy Revealed

under Kamen Rider, Ultraman

It’s that time again! The newest batch of magazine scans from Japan have revealed the forthcoming Bandai Tamashii Nations solicitations for November/December 2016, and this batch of S.H. Figuarts looks like one that will go down well with fans.

First up are the eagerly anticipated Kamen Rider Alpha and Kamen Rider Omega from Kamen Rider Amazons. Both are retail release figures, with Omega arriving in November and Alpha following in December – both priced 5616 yen. Interestingly the scan also makes reference to an exclusive Amazon.jp version of Omega also due in November and priced 6696 yen. What differences this figure will have are currently unknown.

Next is S.H. Figuarts Zoffy, Ultraman‘s superior and officer in the Space Garrison! Previous Ultra-Act versions of the character became extremely sought after, but this will be retail release in November and cost 5940 yen.

Look out for more magazine reveals over the coming few days and be sure to check out the full-sized images after the jump!

    Probably Omegas Amazon form and not his Rider form? All I know is some people aren't getting presents this year....

    I do wish Alpha had a bit more depth to his markings- they don't quite seem as physical as those on the actual suit, it's more like they're just painted on.

    I'm leaning more toward a repackaged version with different/better accessories and a Tamashii stage, but who knows at this point.

    The whole figure looks off if you ask me. The red is not dark enough and the green is not nearly as vibrant as it is on the show. You could blame that on these shots being photos of a magazine but we’ve seen the figure on display and it’s not much different looking.

    That, and as you mentioned the scars are painted on in areas where they should be sculpted. And I don’t feel the headsculpt for some reason either, I can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s just not right looking. I feel like Tamashii really dropped the ball on this one, the figure looked weird to me the second I saw it and it only continues to look bad IMO.

    Which sucks because I really like Alpha's design but I don’t like the figure. Omega looks way better in SHF form in my opinion. I'll probably end up buying both anyways since I like the show so much and because they're both retail releases, but I wish they would’ve done a better job with Alpha.

    I disagree about the red not being dark enough. The suit itself is that colour, but the entire show is put through a filter to make it look darker.

    What I don't get get why they went with the old style hips for these figures.

    Interesting, I haven't thought about this. I looked up a few pics from the suit on display and it does look like the same color. Aside from the green, that one really needs to be a bit brighter on the figure.

    No one does. They randomly started using them for the Ghost figures and now it looks like every newer figure will have them.

    Yay, they're both retail releases!

    Curious what the Omega variant will be and whether I'll want that one instead though. But at least there's an easier to get alternative regardless.
