The Biggest news that created a huge ruckus in SH Figuarts history - SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryuki and Dragreder. When news struck and photos leaked on several review and toku sites, I heard people crying in amazement and awe. It is like a bright and shinny light has let upon those who are clamoring for more past Hsieh riders to join the foray of Kamen Rider figures. From the gods and goddesses of toy toku heaven, Bandai heard the plea and presented their version of Kamen Rider Ryuki.
It was MAX Factory's Figma that released the 6-inch Ryuki first this year in the market and many where happy but with a bit of a pinch. Figma didn't win the bidding to use Kamen Rider Ryuki character names in their line up. Rather, the toy line utilized is the ill-received US counterpart, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. This gave room for Bandai in showcasing their answer to Figma's KRDK figures with their version Ryuki. The heated battle rages on as more collectors are itching and anticipating the arrival of the said character toy line. That's a bit of a history (or how I read) between the battle of toy manufacturers.
