You want more SHF Kinnikuman releases?

 

The Ninja is the first Tamashii Web exclusive for the line and ships in April. Yeah, you're not seeing things with that one guest appearance... 

 

And then HE got a good shot from leaked magazine scans just now:

What an exciting day this is, all before the latest Tamashii event actually starts!

OMG!! Just seen this!! I'm freaking out right now!! Ninja, Brocken Jr. & Asuraman confirmed after prototype!!

On top of that we've got Kinnikuman Great to come along!! I am certain now that we will at least get:

Terryman, Ramenman, Blackhole and Pentagon.

 

I also think we will see Sunshine, Super Phoenix and Mammothman!!

 

Then the will start on Perfect Large Numbers and Perfect Origin characters!!

Anybody concerned that The Ninja is a Web exclusive? Does it mean the line is not selling well? 

 

I can't see why not, since they have so much in the pipeline. But did noticed most of the figures are readily available (aside from Warsman).

For now, I see no cause for concern. I think this is Bandai rightfully acknowledging the more obscure and less mainstream appeal of The Ninja, that's all. I'd consider it likely that Brocken Jr. ends up one too, but because hey, heroic Nazi, rather than due to obscurity.

The Ninja did finish in 10th place on the Figuarts poll. ;) I'm hoping this is the exception and not the norm. 

 

I'd much prefer wide releases, especially for the cost savings of not having to go through a middleman. Price estimate on AE shows that Ninja will be the most expensive Kinnikuman release yet. After shipping charges, he'll likely be close to $70. :(

 

But if its a choice between getting them as Web store releases and not getting them at all. The answer is pretty easy.

Yeah, it is a shame The Ninja is Web Exclusive and therefore more expensive, but understandable.

 

Kinnikuman doesn't have a huge fanbase outside of Japan, and very few female characters/fan service.

 

They are clearly focussing on the top 10 from the character vote...........if anything Blackhole will be an Exclusive, but hopefully not Brocken Jr. as he was #8!

Call me a bit slow on the uptake, but I am only just getting through Scramble For The Throne!

It now make sense to me why we are getting Ataru, The Ninja, Brockenman & Ashuraman with chairs to go with Buffaloman!! They are releasing the Choujin Blood Brigade!!

They will look great all sitting together!!! Expecting both Brocken and Ashuraman to come with chairs as well!!

NEWS FROM TAMASHII NATIONS!! OMG!! I'm literally sooo excited about these right now!! Asuraman painted and Budo!! Means we have the hells missionaries tag team now!! No way we're not going to get Kinnikuman Great to allow for an epic Muscle Docking pose!!

 

I don't know what so say....I'm practically speechless......can't wait to see Asuramans other faces!! We totally need Sunshine now!!, but worried he'd be too difficult for them to make an articulated figure for. Maybe as a scaled Figuarts Zero??!!

 

Hoping we see these 3 released June / August / October 2016..........then we may be lucky enough to have Kinnikuman Great squeezed in before the end of the year!! It's unlikely though, as we had 6 this year, and with these 3 will have 6 already in 2016!

 

We need a good Terryman and Ramenman next! Then I want to see the 4D Killer Combo followed by Sunshine & Geronimo!!

Man, that Budo is awesome, but I hate to think of the shipping if it's as thick as the Romando Budo -_-

I've been eyeing these figures up for some time, just ordered a Robin Mask and Neptuneman last night, I was planning on focusing on just getting Soldier Team but now I get the feeling I'll be going for a complete set (if I can ever track down a reasonably priced Warsman)!

Very surprise to see Big the Budo. I was not expecting him! I wonder how much for this behemoth?!  Fingers crossed he's not a web exclusive. 

 

Ashuraman in color is fantastic. Really excited for him. I was really hoping we would see protos of Terryman and Ramenman. I feel like those are the last 2 must haves to round out a nice Kinnikuman roster. But at this rate, I'm confident we will see them sooner than later.

very true plus it would also be like a kill 2 birds with one stone with a Ramenman (Tatakae Ramen) Terryman would be good

So far they are only hitting anime color, right? I would love to get a manga col. Ashuraman, it looks so great!

I did mention back in July that A rep from the Bluefin/Bandai booth at Anime Expo told me that more characters will be released for the Kinnikuman line....

Looks like I am getting my wish about BIG BUDO. Sunshine and the Mountain are not too far a stretch for Figuarts! Neither is a Mammothman Figuarts a pipe dream! More Bandai More!

If you need to play catch-up with the line, now's not a bad time thanks to a bunch of sales from the various Japanese retailers. Hobby Search had some amazing deals that sold out way too fast, but Hobby Link Japan started their own sale yesterday. The reissue of the first Kinnikuman in the line is down to 2250 yen and Neptuneman is 2750 yen. Akuma Shogun was part of the sale as well, but unfortunately sold out. At 4070 yen, he was possibly the lowest price I've ever seen anywhere for that figure!

It appears Kinnikuman Great and Big the Budo will be the next solicits after Asuraman. And it looks like Terryman may not be too far behind.
