S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Revealed

Looks like we've got our first full-look confirmation of Lazer in his bike mode.

And looks like he's a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

One level short...

I remember some arguing a while back about this figure in particular lol

Not surprised that it's a Web Exclusive. I can't imagine bikes sell like hotcakes and I don't see much demand for one that... really hasn't seen much use at all.

Be cool if Level 3 winds up as a mass release, though I doubt it.

Three cheers for bike boy finally getting an SHF

And then, an infinitely long boo for it being web exclusive.

Ugh. Now to debate whether I want to spend like 70 bucks on one bike or risk the aftermarket.

Also, with the main Rider's bike being web exclusive, that kind of signals that they're already done with Ex-Aid at retail...which would be disappointing, even if consistent with how Ghost went.

Not necessarily. Again, it might just be due to bikes not exactly selling out all the time- the Ghoststriker shelfwarmed hard from what I can tell, and the Sakura Hurricane didn't do much better.

Also I would imagine Lazer Level 3 would be the form they'd want to be on store shelves when the time comes. It's not like Kiriya wasn't a popular character. And a functional figure would probably be their idea choice to represent him wide-release style rather than just a bike.

AS for the bike, I'm wondering if they'll include alternate blank eyes to represent the normal bike form post-death.

Well nice to see Lazer get release even if it Tamashii Web Exclusive.

I guess now the question is who will come out next from Ex-aid Double Mighty Brothers 2 pack or someone else maybe lv 3 Lazer hmmm?

Which is fair. Bikes aren't big sellers, but still, up to this point most recent main Riders' machines (of course, Tridoron excluded) have seen regular releases, even the Junglaider. And most Ghost things were shelfwarmers in the first place, not just the Ghostriker. To me it just doesn't bode well...

And both Drive and Ghost called it quits on retail after August and Hunter Gamer is in July...

Eh, maybe. That would probably be the most appropriate thing. But, as Bandai has proven time after time, they aren't exactly great at thinking that far ahead or looking at what's most appropriate. If they were worried about choosing the "right" form to represent characters in their main releases, Ex-Aid's Hunter Gamer form would be the absolute last thing they'd pick as the next retail release.

Finally a form of Lazer. =)
