If you thought the SH Figuarts news was going to take a break sadly that isn't the case. Thanks to Okiniwa on HJU the rerelease preorder of Kamen Rider Joker has been confirmed
From his translation it says that he is going to be available for preorder on Sept 3 on the Tamashi Web so those who were annoyed that it was supposed to be rereleased next year then you will no longer need to worry.
They are coming in a large swarm now. It's the Gills Raider and BladeBlade Figuarts. It's surprising how much gets shown while Mr S is going to Morphicon.
Hey you guys. HenshinKing or Negiz here, whatever you prefer ;). I just found some new pictures of the Ultra Act Zero figure! Now this guy can get some awesome poses but something is off about the design of this guy. Please put your thoughts in the comments.
Due to Rider-Fest and the upcoming Hyper Kabuto release it made me really wanna review this guy although the Clock Up pad and really the belt in general is missing a lot of detail in the end this guy is still a great S.H.Figuarts Enjoy The Review.

This was originally going to be a couple of posts, but I forgot to do it sooner, so it's all in one. First up is 2 reviews for the Sound Capsule Gaia Memory Set 4. The first video is for Dopant Memory B, Diend, and New Den-O. The second video is for Zeronos and Deneb. I realize these videos are long, but I go through pretty much every memory combination with them. After the Memories comes 2 Figuarts Reviews: Accel and W Luna Set.
Dopant Memory B, Diend, and New Den-O:
These memories are fantastic. The Dopant Memory comes with 4 stickers to choose from: Terror, Taboo, Claydoll, and Shinigamihakase. I chose the 4th one. Diend is basically the same memory as the Decade that was released in Set 1 with all the "Decade" replaced with "Diend." No, there's nothing wrong with your New Den-O Memory. The 5th sound is Kotaro snapping his fingers. Sounds from each memory are as follows:
Dopant Memory B: "Terror," "Taboo," "Claydoll," "Shinigamihakase"
Diend: "Kamen Ride," "Diend," transformation sound, "Final Kamen Ride: Di-Di-Di-Diend"
New Den-O: "New Den-O," ready sound, "Strike Form," transformation sound, snapping fingers, "Full Charge"
Deneb and Zeronos:
These memories are a must have for fans of Den-O and/or Zeronos. My only complaint would be that Zeronos's doesn't say "Altair Form," but this is quickly overlooked by the compatibility between these two. Putting them in the W Driver and opening it activates the transformation sound. Doing it a second time activates a conversation between the two.
Sounds from each memory are as follows:
Deneb: ""Saishou ni itte oku, mune no kao wa kazari daa!" (Let me say this to start, the face on my chest is only a decoration!), "Ima no wa, kocchi ga warukatta. Ayamaru." (For now, that was bad. I appologize.), "Yuuto yoroshiku!" (Take care of Yuuto!), "Yuuto...shiitakechan to tabeta?" (Yuuto...eat the shiitake?)
Zeronos: "Zeronos," transformation sound, "Saishou ni itte oku, ore wa KANARI tsuyoi!" (I'll say this to start, I'm FAIRLY strong!), "DENEEEEBBBBUUUU!," "Shiitake ireruna!" (Don't add shiitake!)
SHF Kamen Rider Accel:
He is a shiny red color with silver armor. He even has his cool bike parts, and the wheel on his back spins. The Accel Driver on his belt is removable. He comes with 4 extra pairs of hands and an Engine Blade that opens up. I definitely recommend him as he is awesome and a great addition to any W collection and/or display.
SHF Kamen Rider W Luna Set:
This set is really cool (even if they are still the same sickly yellow as LunaTrigger) and has really tight joints, which is a nice change from the Cyclone Set. Like other W Figuarts, the joints are all black and the Gaia Memories are black. This set also comes with a butt load of accessories. It has two stretchy limb pieces that can be attached as arms or legs for the Luna effect, 2 Metal Shafts: 1 extended and 1 not, 4 extra yellow hands, 2 extra silver hands, and 2 extra black hands. I love this set and can recommend it for anyone wanting to get all forms of W.
Well the S.H. Figuarts exclusives are now open for ordering. This includes Accel, Machine Decader & R. Nazca. Accel will set you back 3360 yen, Machine Decader at 4725 yen and R. Nazca priced at 3675 yen. All of which do not include the extra fees such as tax, middlemen fees and so on. You can visit their pages for a small gallery right bellow. CSToys will most likely have this for pre-order very soon so keep tuning in.
First thing no one posted this yet... second why does Bandai do this to us? Eventually we'll have to remove organs to pay for these... Anyway this is S.H. Figuarts Red Nazca which is a Toei Hero Net Exclusive and will set you back 3675 Yen (excluding extra fees). Order time in Japan starts on July 30, 2010. They will be shipped in the fall around October 2010. CSToys will probably make an announcement about these new exclusives and how you can pre-order them through CSToys International.
Well the exclusives keep pouring in. S.H. Figuarts Machine Decader the trusty bike of Kamen Rider Decade. I repeat this is another exclusive unfortunately from Tamashii Web Shop. It will be looking at a release in November probably alongside Accel Trial and will set you pack 4, 725 yen (not including many other fees). More images when you read more.
[EDIT] It looks like the figuart is going for a November Release at a price point of 3,360 Yen.
Well finally some S.H. Figuarts news! What this is is Kamen Rider Accel Trial. The bad part is that it's a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Sad faces everywhere. No release date or price yet has been confirmed but we'll try and find out. I'd just like to add, what happened to his face?! Also why an exclusive?! There are more images when you click to read more.
The treasures for all Kamen Rider W fans!! All the DX gaia memories was displayed during the Interational Festival 2010! If I was there, I might steal it.. XD
JUST KIDDING!~~
XD
S.H. Figuarts Luna Set and Accel have now been reviewed! The best part is CSToys should be receiving their stock of these items today, so tune in for the Pack and Ship show for the unboxing!
Straight from Ngee Khiong, new images of some yet to be released figures! SICs, SIC KT, S.H. Figuarts, MG Figurerise, Super Robot Chogokin and Ultra Acts! Hope you like what you see! Now I only wish I made it in time to order Nazca from CSToys...
Day 1: Another Agito
To start off my Figuarts Week and make it a full 7 days, I review my Another Agito figure. This is a very pretty figure. He comes with 2 heads: 1 screaming open-mouthed and 1 regular. He also has several extra hands and 2 scarf wing things that attach to his back.
Day 2: Kamen Rider Gills
Next up is Kamen Rider Gills. I was hesitant at first to get him since I haven't seen Agito, but I was not disappointed. He comes with 2 heads: closed mouth and open screaming mouth, 2 sets of horns: long and short, several extra hands, 2 long wrist spikes, 2 long ankle spikes, and 6 tentacle pieces for tentacle lovin'.
Day 3: Kamen Rider Rising IXA
Moving forward, we come to Kamen Rider Rising IXA. This guy is quite possibly the best and prettiest Figuart EVER. He is an exclusive, and I pre-ordered him at CSToys. He comes with a butt-load of accessories. He has a bunch of extra hands, 2 Fueslots, 2 IXA Caliburs: 1 in gun mode and 1 in sword mode, an IXA Knuckle, the IXA Generator (the other half of the belt for when he holds the IXA Knuckle), and 2 IXA Risers: 1 in Phone Mode and 1 in gun Mode. The IXA Risers are so freakin cool cause they can open and close allowing it to also be turned into Search Mode. I DEFINITELY recommend him if you can find him. He will be expensive, but he is definitely worth it, and it would be better to get him sooner rather than later when the price really goes up (i.e. New Den-O Strike Form or Yuuki).
Day 4: Kamen Rider W Cyclone Set
My fourth entry brings some double W goodness with the Kamen Rider W Cyclone Set featuring Cyclone Metal and Cyclone Trigger. I bought this from CSToys, and it was the last set they had. So I have give Mr. S a big thanks for allowing me to purchase this set even with its damaged box. I love these figures despite the fact that Cyclone Trigger suffers from Loose Leg Syndrome. They are both visually amazing and come with even more accessories than Rising IXA. The set comes with: 4 green hands, 2 silver hands, 2 blue hands, an extended Metal Shaft, a short Metal Shaft for the back, regular Trigger Magnum, Maximum Drive Trigger Magnum, 2 "at rest" mufflers, 1 giant epic "blowing in the wind" muffler, mini Stag Phone to put on the Magnum, mini Spider Shock for the Magnum, Mini Bat Shot for the Magnum, and a tiny head for the Bat to make it look normal. I would definitely recommend this set if you are a fan of W and trying to get all of his forms. It is also worth it for the accessories it comes with. You can either try to find one now or wait until August when both the Cyclone and Heat Sets get a re-release.
Day 5: Kamen Rider Skull
Continuing with W Riders we have Kamen Rider Skull. He is Shotaros's boss/Akiko's dad who makes his appearance in the W part of the Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Decade and W Movie Taisen 2010. He is another Bandai Collector's Shop exclusive figure that I pre-ordered from CSToys at the same time as Rising IXA, and he is definitely worth his price tag. He comes with 4 extra pair of hands, a relaxed scarf, a blowing in the wind scarf, a Skull Magnum, and 2 Fedoras: 1 with the tear in it and 1 without. I would recommend him for any fan of W. He is a great figure even if he is not as detailed or pretty as Rising IXA.
Day 6: Kamen Rider W Fang Joker
If you thought Skull was awesome, then you will be blown away by Kamen Rider W Fang Joker. This guy is absolutely amazing and awesome looking and a host of other adjectives that I'm too lazy to write out right now. He is by far the best form of W and comes a host of accessories. He has extra pairs of hands, a shoulder pad with a removable shoulder fang, an armlet with the arm fang, and an anklet with the leg fang. I would say that this figure is a MUST for any fan of W. If you can't afford to do like some people and buy all his forms, then this guy should fit into the budget somewhere. He's selling out fast, so you should pick him up quickly if you haven't already.
Day 7: Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form
For the final day of Figuarts Week, we end on a high note with Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. This guy is AWESOME to a level that can only be compared to IXA, Rising IXA, and Fang Joker. He comes with several pairs of hands and a Kuuga thumbs up hand as well as a second face so that you can switch between Red Eyes version and Black Eyes Version. I definitely recommend him for Kuuga fans or anyone who wants one figure of each Rider. If you buy no other Kuuga figure, you need to get this one.
Word in the forums is that these old prototype Showa Figuarts are to be releasing around the end of this year of 2010 or early 2011. Rumor has it that they are a tribute to the 40th anniversary. They are prolonging the releasing due to them wanting to perfect the figures considering they were rushed. One of the key things they want to perfect is their scaling and for me I hope less obvious weird shoulders. I wish they made a Super-1 figuart he's pretty much my favorite in design. Let's hope they release the rest of the other Showa Riders along with these guys.
Our Toku news continues, this time with a look at some new pictures of Ultraman ★Ultra-Act releases, which are if you don't already know a Figuarts style line for Ultraman. Here is a good look at Shodai Ultraman, including some nifty box art.
This baby is set to release around the 26th of June, so be on the lookout for it.
