S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto Revealed

under Conventions, Kamen Rider, Other Conventions

The time is almost upon us for another year at the Tamashii Nations event! Running from October 28th-30th this year, Tamashii Nations is often where we get our first looks at brand new reveals & upcoming releases (as well as many figures that are never seen again.)

This year as always, Bandai is offering several at show exclusives. You may recall last years’ Proto-Drive, or the previous years’ Baron Lemon Energy Arms. Well this year sees the first premium Shinkocchou Seihou exclusive for the show with S.H. Figuarts Dark Kabuto!

Dark Kabuto will exclusively be available at the event on October 28th while supplies last and retails for 5500 yen. As always you can expect a “lottery” release of this figure through the Tamashii Web Shop early next year as well. But keep an eye out for this soon to be in demand exclusive.

    I wondered when this repaint would show up

    It looks great, but I already own Kabuto so I'm not feeling like paying the slightly higher price for a repaint.

    I'm happy for those who looked forward to this though.

    The color scheme makes me a little wistful for what could've been.

    Also, I think this supports my guess about how Bandai is prioritizing Shinkocchou Seihou releases: frequent easy repaints/reworks of existing molds to support the (probably costly) entirely new molds.

    While I don't disagree with that assessment, I don't think this release is necessarily any proper indication of that. Tamashii Nations exclusives are always just repaints/retools so something like this was a given. I'm just surprised they went with Dark Kabuto rather than something from Ghost since the last couple have been from current shows.

    Literally just secured a SS regular flavor Kabuto.

    Going with a Kabuto figure over a Ghost is a wise move as far as I'm concerned. SHFA Ghost figures just continue to drop in price. Be in the bargain bin with Wizard, Fourze, and OOO figures soon enough.

    If that means I can get a Necrom for bargain bin prices then I am a-ok with that.

    My thoughts exactly!
