It's been quite some time since we heard from that ridiculously sweet Ride Armor concept from Bandai/Tamashii Nations. However, Tamashii Nation USA's Twitter account managed to rectify that with a brief (but hopeful) status update: the Ride Armor is still under consideration.
And there you have it. Nothing's set in stone just yet, but the forces that be are still trying to decide if the vehicle will be a viable product. Fortunately, there is something we fans can do to help drive this baby into production: you make some noise! Tamashii does a great job of listing to fan input thanks to a tight-knit Facebook and Twitter community. All you need to do is say, "I want that Ride Armor!" on either social network and hope for the best. They're all ears.
And hey, the Tamashii guys pop up here every now and then, too. If you'd like to see the Ride Armor on sale, please feel free to drop a comment of support.

Though I really want this I more so want the Ride Chaser "Cheval" & Ride Chaser "Adion"
ReplyDeleteI did my part. Just on Facebook though, because Twitter makes no sense to me :(
ReplyDeleteRIDE ARMOUR AND YOU'LL HAVE A VILE PURCHASE TO GO WITH IT.
ReplyDeleteid buy the ride armor, please make it happen bandai. Also please release the sigma figure.
ReplyDeleteI don't own a Vile yet, as I've been hoarding my Zenny for if/when they release an Iris, but my friend does and I know for a fact that if they release the ride armor he will be the guy smashing a fist full of cash against the computer screen yelling at it to take his money and give him the ride armor.
ReplyDeleteThough some day I'd like to round out my collection and get ALL the Megaman D Arts stuff, so if they did release it I'd probably get it and Vile at some point. It's pretty sweet lookin'.
Gotta love how here I sit, an "Adult" begging for more toys to buy. Dude. Looks like I will never truly outgrow Megaman X figures.
Anon3: These figures aren't made for kids anyway, so it's all good :D
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'd love Ride Armor, I sincerely doubt Tamashii could deliver it at a reasonable price. The Hawk Ride Armor from the old Mega Armor Series was priced pretty absurdly, as I recall.
ReplyDeleteStill remaining hopeful for Volnutt and Iris...
