How on earth does he not have an alternate red eyed head. Like. Come on.

Strangled Thouser pic is good tho

Looks fan friggin tastic. I might be all in for zero one if they release all his forms (only zero two left since I couldn't care less about the other animal keys). Only issue is how the hell I'm going to acquire shining hopper without it costing an arm and a leg.

Wait for a year or so. Rabbit Dragon dropped in price a while back and it's possible for Shining as well once the other Zero-One forms drop.

5 seconds of CG red eyes aren't worth an extra head IMO.

Although it's funny, in retrospect it would've made way more sense if he kept the red eyes until the Hopper Blade came around.

Or rather, all red instead of yellow and gunmetal instead of silver. Because the visual payoff after Aruto came to control this form was kind of nonexistent.

Red eye version will obviously be an exclusive available only at some convenience store in a back alley of an underground strip mall that is only open every 13th day

Just noticed that due to the armor the figure will only have single elbow joints, or rather it will probably be the usual double joint underneath but will only bend 90 degrees.

Not a negative for me at all, just an interesting observation IMO.

hey, it's zero-one's final form : )

Thinking back on the show, we saw this form a lot, even compared to previous power-up forms, especially since not only did it basically become the only one Aruto ever used for a lot of the time, but it was still getting prominent fight scenes even long after Rampage Gattling had debuted. Enough time has passed that I'm no longer just used to seeing it all the time, and now I'm appreciating the design again.

If anything, it should have been the other way around since this is the only one of Aruto's major forms that don't have red eyes.

Mmmm yeah they are. They’re a big part of the arc this form has; ie the last time it mattered before it devolved into hitting two crabs with a stick for half the season. It’s like the entire lynchpin of its rage mode that made the form and its debut so memorable and they can’t muster up a single extra recoloured accessory for that.

Doesn’t even have a metal strash effect or an attache calibur. They’ve gotten ridiculously cheap here; at least Ichigata was only missing an effect piece. Thouser strangling hands are the only redeeming quality.

I really think that's overselling it? It appeared with it's eyes red for all of maybe a second, immediately after transforming and never again. Everything it did from that point on, all the menace it carried and freaky swarm attacks, was while looking as it always does, with it's yellow eyes. I think a lot of people probably forgot it ever appeared with red eyes after only one episode too.

It is a pretty barebones release though, but sadly standard rider figuarts release though. I'm not surprised in the slightest that you need to have bought Vulcan in order to have it's combined weapon...
