Huh, I really like the idea they're going for with S.I.C. Ghost. Making the orange neon detailing on his suit into essentially an x-ray of his skeleton looks really cool.

Surprised seeing Ridearmor variation figuarts too (Though the unpainted ridewatches still bug me a bit.) Also...please let Genm Lvl X-0 come out. All the other versions sold well and I want that design without paying colossal amounts of money for the original release.

Interestingly enough, the bike pictured with Lazer Lvl 0 has the blanked out eyes.


I'm wondering if that's gonna be a set with him and the bike.

i am EXTREMELY happy to see GiriGiri Chanbara; I always thought that was a much better looking form than Lazers' Level 0.

Agreed. I'm happy with Lvl 0 because it's a more humanoid version of Lazer, but I do prefer his Lvl 3 and it's looking great. Hope this actually sees release, but Bandai's been pretty good so far about releasing the Ex-Aid figures (minus Maximum Mighty and Gamedeus Cronus) and Kiriya is a fan-favorites so I have high hopes.


Plus how else are we gonna recreate the Christmas episode?

LAZER CBGL3 HOLY YES
I have been screaming on Castranger for YEARS for this figure to happen. YES YES YES.... It's not Lazer-X, BUT IT WILL TAKE IT.
GOD I hope this releases

Lazer Turbo PSBGL0 is a neat one. IF it does indeed come with Bike Gamer, I might buy that too, just to have Maximum Bike™ lol

Also, just wanna clarify a few of the form names:

Kamen Rider Lazer, Chambara Bike Gamer, Level 3
Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo, Proto Sports Bike Gamer, Level 0
Kamen Rider Genm, Zombie Action Gamer, Level X-0 (you don't need to specify Gamer Driver version because there is no Genmu Level X-0 with the Buggle Driver because it can only accept one gashat)

yes, I get anal about form names and belt mechanics on the podcast so that's what I do

STILL HYPE THOUGH

So far nothing exciting about the Rider-side of things IMO but they haven't even started yet, the real treats come tomorrow hopefully.

Ultraman though? We already have a winner with Belial, so good.

Really liking SIC Ghost.

I like the battle damaged Amazons (I think the official name is 'Final Judgement Version') but the SIC ones look kind of weird. Not a fan of Alpha's mouth.

To be quite honest, I'm betting Giri Giri Chambara is being made because they can get a Lazer-X out of it; since that's his final form there'd be a market for it. Note as well how no other Level 3 forms have ever been made, and instead of starting with the Main rider or the secondary or someone as popular as Genm, they start... with Lazer? I'm fully expecting that cyan redeco somewhere along the line.

Talking of things-that-are-probably-there-to-be-made-into-other-things, Proto Shakiriki Sports is a surprise to me since there's no final form to be made out of it. It makes me wonder if we're getting Genm or Ex-Aid's Level 3 Shakiriki Sports forms...


Not much else to comment on personally; I'm happily surprised we're getting Ride Armour forms for the people who want it, though I'm not too big a fan of the Ride Armour gimmick and how it looks in the first place. SIC Ghost though? Hoooly shit that looks cool

What the snack is wrong with Bandai that it doesn't occur to them to paint the damned Ride Watches? They didn't put paint detail on the gashats, but the printed end of those isn't visible head-on when viewing the Ex-Aid figures. On the Zi-O figures, it's glaring, and it just looks maddeningly sloppy. I'm sure someone will come up with a workaround involving stickers, but (a) it'll be expensive and (b) it oughtn't be necessary.

I'm having a hard time imagining myself picking up any of the Zi-O Ride Armor figures, but I guess I'm glad they're being made? Ride Watches aside, they look pretty good. I'm curious as to how the ankle articulation works, since they appear to have it, but I didn't notice a seam.
