Zi-o was a figuart I had a feeling we see and I glad we did will pick him up.

Also a few things I not happy about.

One Zi-o is using the build leg joints which is outdate. WHY bandai why can't you use the gaim or ex-aid leg joints that are so much better looking and up to date.

Another thing I see is Zi-o does not come with his sword and gun with that 3,000 yen price. Of course the weapons will come with his bike which will be webshop which I will not buy just so they can make money.

At the end the secret stage is Kiva I guess we see him at Tamashii Nations hype.

The Ridewatches need more paint detail. :/

First thoughts: those RideWatches are downright embarrassing. After they did the Sclash Jellies okay with Build I was hoping SHFs were getting back into actually giving the toys some detail, but I guess not. God that looks so cheap.

Other than that they look pretty good. I just hope they come with their weapons, though since they're not shown anywhere I'm fearing the worst.

No weapons shown. No indication that the Ride Watches are removable or can be used with the Jikuu Driver. No image on the Rider-specific Ride Watches.

I guess the figures otherwise look acceptable, although the lack of detail on the Ride Watch (particularly on the Driver) is an eyesore. At least the video shows that the Jikuu Driver can be rotated.

No weapons yet again - I hate this trend so much. Unpainted Ridewatches suck too.

Honestly, I really like Geiz but without his axebow I see no reason to get him - so it's only Zi-O for me, and I'm not particular excited for him either. Just another dude really, nothing special.

The more they screw with accessories the less fun Figuarts becomes IMO

So the secret stage thing is throwing me off because it's right after Den-O and it should technically be Kiva's spot but Decade also doesn't have a stage pictured and he's after Kiva so what the hell is going on

Yea, as fantastic as these look, I'm reeeeeeeeeeally not a fan of the return of the "we're dividing accessories between the actual figure and the bike (which will definitely be a Web Exclusive) so that people must feel obligated to get them both" trend in SHFs.

Personally, I'd rather they give them their weapons in their Armor forms if they ever make them as SHFs, like Geiz Ghost Armor coming with his axe and Zi-O Build Armor coming with his sword.

I'm not entirely certain we're going to see any Armor Time Figuarts. We didn't get any Best Matches from Build, and they skipped right over the level 4 forms for Ex-Aid. If they do any Armor Time, I expect it'll be Decade. (That'd also be where we'd be likely to see the Decade Ride Watch stand.)

Then again, I could be wrong. There's not a range of other Riders from this series to produce. Still, I kinda think one of the Another Riders is more likely than Armor Time.

preorders 10/4?
