This week we saw confirmation that the popular Shinkcchou Seihou Garo mold would be making a return in a new release as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version. As it turns out though, the official images have just revealed something else about this release…
Indeed, Garo Raiga Saejima Version reproduces the armor as it was worn by Kouga’s son Raiga. This means the figure is absolutely identical to the original release aside from Raiga’s unique blue eyes. These images do confirm that this release will also include the iconic cape worn by several users of the Golden Knight’s armor on top of the obviously included hands and sword. However, the real surprise here is that this release will ALSO include another alternate head with red eyes, to create Garo Taiga Saejima Version! So you have the option to display this figure as either Raiga OR his grandfather Taiga! We suspect some multiples may be purchased by a few collectors…
Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga & Taiga Saejima Version will be released in October 2019 and retails for 9990 yen, which is a mere 90 yen more than the original release! Those new accessories are a pretty great value for that 90 yen. This figure will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive so be sure to pursue it through your preferred middleman service.
Confirmed via a new Figure King scan, the Shinkocchou Seihou Garo line is growing by one more new release!
S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version will look quite familiar to most collectors. Raiga's golden knight form is actually identical to his father Kouga's aside from one very small detail. The eye color. Kouga's version of the armor featured green eyes, while notably Raiga's armor has blue eyes. Should Bandai want to triple dip on this mold they could even do Kouga's father Taiga. His armor featured red eyes.
While we don't have any sort of confirmation of the figure's accessories, it's a safe bet that they'd be identical to the first release. Though there's some hope of some alternate inclusions as well. Otherwise this figure appears largely unchanged from the first Seihou Garo release. According to the scan Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Ver. will be released in October 2019 for 9990 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Expect a full set of official images in the near future!
WOW yes more SS Garo will be picking this one up. I did not think Raiga would come out this soon I though Kouga would be released with the cloth cape and big sword I still happy to get this more Garo SS is always impressive.
Is the eyes seriously the only difference?!? I'd be happier to pay a few extra yen for extra heads instead of shelling out money for extra figures.
This Garo comes with a lot of stuff which has me very excite for this release. He comes with a second head of Tagia Saejima the red eyes Garo also comes with the cloth cape that Garo had in season 1 and his sword.

Wow, and here I was complaining about shelling out a few extra yen for the same figure.
It's up for pre-order on BBTS but it's extremely expensive. I ended up buying from Japan.
