Thanks to @_Erasu on Twitter we have our first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z! The secondary rider from Kamen Rider Build looks absolutely gorgeous in these first look images. No release information available as of this moment but we will update as soon as there is.

Kiwami says
He is a Premium Bandai release? The secondary Rider of the whole goddamn show, a character important ever since the first episode, is a Web-Exclusive figure?
Are you actually shitting me right now? What the hell? Do they hate money now or something?
I wanted to pick one up but that's the second giant middle-finger for Build SHF's after releasing Build himself with no accessories. Screw you Tamashii!
Annuga says
Yeah, agree with Kiwami, this is very questionable, especially after they said they'd address criticisms with Stalk's preview after people got upset about Night Rogue
Kiwami says
I absolutely don't get this. If the secondary Rider would've been a giant asshole, or maybe a villain or something worse, then I'd understand that they don't want it to possibly clog shelves. But they also released Night Rogue of all things at retail so what's up with that?
But Cross-Z is a Web-Exclusive? Freakin' Banjo Ryuga? The actual second most important character in the show who was there ever since the very beginning? The actor is a nice guy too from what I've seen, what the actual fuck.
This Web-Exclusive shit gets weirder every year and I don't like it one bit.
TokuChris says
Only logic I can think of...
1. Spectre shelf-warmed and is available for cheap. Secondary Rider.
2. Brave and Snipe (Level 2) shelf-warmed and are available for relatively cheap. Secondary/Third Riders.
3. Possible permanent form change for the character (or death in the show, meaning by the time it's released, will no longer be on show)

This really is one of the coolest designs for a secondary rider in a long freaking time.
Web exclusive? Incredibly disappointing.
Hey the uh..the Zanki and Ibuki figuarts aren't gonna be web exclusives are they? My heart couldn't take that.

A Web-Exclusive? This is insanely perplexing. Not only is Ryuuga such an important character, (and they even had the Cross-Z suit on the main site since the site launched!) but didn't pre-orders for Build sell out almost instantly?
I mean I get he won't be around much, but this suit has had so much focus since the start even that this decision is just baffling.
Blade Fang says
If Cross-Z was web exclusive, hopely the some of Build's Forms like GorillaMond, HawkGattling, and NinninComic will be regular release.....
