Also, didn't notice the differences between SftT Kinnikuman and the OCE colors. Made this:

Pretty much was just concerned with getting that 80's ab cutout in there, and the added yellow to the armbands. I could have taken it further, desaturated the blue a bit, maybe darkened the skintone, but I'm not super invested in doing that at the moment.

 

Also, this blogger (http://studiotony.blog114.fc2.com/) made an OCE Ataru, more elaborate camouflage,

 

A sort of OCE Akuma Shogun:

Blue on his chest. I'm still confused as to what his true OCE colors are. Was he ever completely red, or red/purple? In that famous Devil Chojin group photo pic, he's all silver. And during his first fight with Kinnikuman, Suguru or another protagonist refers to his armor as silver. So I'm assuming it's all silver with no red? Anyone care to enlighten me?

 

And one more, he's working on this badass:

OMG!! He's made these figures look so much more badass!! If only Tamashii had given us them like this first time around!!

Yeah, he's done a lot of cool stuff just switching out Kinnikuman torsos with other characters.

 

 

Speaking of which, here's a fun image from the Ashuraman thread on the Japanese website 2chan:

An image I made to entertain us until something new and official is announced/released:

[Kanji]

Damn, it sure feels like a long time since we last heard news on this line, although I guess it's only be 3 months....

 

2015:

 

22nd Apr 2015 - Ashuraman prototype

 

4th May 2015 - Kinnikuman Great prototype

 

29th May 2015 - Buffaloman

 

16th Sep 2015 - Solider & Kinnikuman Scramble for the Throne Ver.

29th Oct 2015 - Budo

 

2016:

I've guessing it may be Tamashii Nations before we hear more. I really hope we get some new figures soon. 2016 calendar is full now, so it'll be Feb 2017 at the earliest.

 

Finger crossed for Ramenman, Terryman, Blackhole and Pentagon!!

Ashuraman now unboxed!! Absolutely no time to do much with him so pose is dull as anything. Running out of room in the ring!!

Big the Budo was released yesterday!

 

Some pics at this 2chan thread here, which will be updated until the thread is expired:

Some pics:

 

Apparently he's slightly taller than Akuma Shogun at minimum, and you can make him taller by using the joints' pull-out feature.

NEWS!
OCE Ramenman: Wearing Mongolman's shoulder armor, perhaps we'll get both heads! And Perhaps he'll include shoulder armor for Buffaloman! Maybe not though, it looks like it could be molded to the torso.

 

 

Nemesis: Indicates that we'll be seeing some of the new characters in addition to the old ones! Despite not knowing the character yet, I'm always happy for more characters.

The translation says Ramenman OCE; Ramenman wore this specific outfit in his own Anime spin off And Mongolman wore these colors in the manga.

 

Nemesis beat Ramenman wearing this outfit, so I guess that explains why both are coming out February 2017

YES FINALLY!!!!

AMAZING NEWS!! I'm so excited for these 2!! Great that we're getting Perfect Large Number Arc characters now! Finger crossed for Silverman!!

[liquidroyl]

Anyone with a full ring have a display cabinet they're happy with? I was looking at the Ikea Nornas because the standard detolfs appear too shallow to hold the ring...

[toyhandle]

I've been scouring the internet for some mention of what was in the text in the article about the Ramenman and Nemesis figures. I believe I found a bit additional info!

Here's a link to a google translated blog post mentioning the article: https://translate.go...tml&prev=search

Within it, Google provides me with this blurb:
"From SHFiguarts of BANDAI, Nemesis has become a line-up subscription of shock. And but ramen Man, also included Mongolia mask that showed in the Nemesis against that. I sideburns was not in the Nemesis game, but in the product marked with sideburns. "If you want to reproduce the Nemesis game, please cut off the sideburns in self-responsibility" is, the person in charge of the valve."

My guess is that the correct translation would read something more like this:
"From SHFiguarts of Bandai, Nemesis has come to many as a big surprise. Ramenman also includes the Mongolman mask that appeared in his fight against Nemesis. Mongolman's sideburns were not present in the Nemesis match, but the figure will have sideburns. "If you want to recreate his appearance in the Nemesis match, please cut off the sideburns at your own risk," said the interviewee."

 

I believe this to be correct, because obviously the classic appearance of Mongolman has prominent sideburns:

 

And in the fight against Nemesis, they appear largely absent:

 

Except for this panel here, where it appears he has something hanging off either side of his face, although more thin/close to his face, and not as bushy as typically shown. And it might even be his neck in this shot:

 

So all in all, I believe we will also be getting the classic appearance of Mongolman in the Ramenman set.

"I read Figure King

• The Ramenman also stick will shoulder of cattle
Mongolia Man anime version is no plan
Terry want to put out an absolute (with prototype)
Sunshine also want to put out (with prototype)
• The founder who is also potential, voice soon"

 

Posts about Buffaloman are often translated as "cattle."

No idea what "The Founder" is mistranslated from. The Man? Searching the original phrase of the sentence "始祖達も可能性はある" in Google results in several images from the recent issues, but I can't pin it on one character.

 

From what I was able to further translate, we got:

 

I read Figure King

 

Ramenman will come will the 20 Million Powers shoulder armor for Buffaloman.

Anime Colors Mongolman is not planned

Terryman has been prototyped

Sunshine has been prototyped

The Founder(?????) is a possibility being discussed.

I'm really not sure about that last sentence.

 

It looks like the Magazine didn't specify if the chest straps will be removable from Ramenman, which leads many to question how Buffaloman's will attach. Some speculate the bands clip on to either side of the body, as you can see the seam along his side. Others think Ramenman's is not removable, and are wondering if Buffaloman's will be a separate rubbery piece. Personally, it doesn't look removable on Ramenman to me, but if he is for sure included with Buffaloman's, which obviously is removable, I'm not going to assume Ramenman's won't removable until we know for sure.

Yes please! Any word on why there has been mostly web exclusive releases??

[toyhandle]

I haven't searched for anything in Japanese relating to that topic, and don't recall seeing it discussed, so I can't say for certain whether or not any comments were made about that.

I believe at this point in time the only exclusives have been released and announced are Ninja, Big the Budo and Kinnikuman Great. I believe both Ramenman and Nemesis are regular releases set for February.

Only 3 exclusives is actually incredible for Bandai and the SH lines, I'm surprised that there have been so many regular releases. Knock on wood, I don't want to jinx it.

For a while in the DBZ line, only the first releases of Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan were regular releases eligible for re-runs. Even the Vegeta's were all exclusive, until the recent updated release.

 

A significant number of the S.H. Monsterarts figures are exclusives, including Mothra!

 

I have no real understanding of what they base these decisions on.
