huh the good luck look like a car key
Ok, now that I'm seeing it from the other side... poop, it has Mickey's keychain.
I was sorta hoping this would be a side Keyblade, but now...
This car key better transform into something classier otherwise I'm gonna lose it.
Those Bring Arts look great.
So the keychain to the new keyblade is Mickey just like the Kingdom Key. I think Riku as the 2nd playable character is more likely than ever.
Hmm... the hair on the Sora look like the other KH3 Bring Arts. Could just be because they made it look like the most recent ones.
I'm having a near heart attack from excitement. THE KEYCHAIN IS A MICKEY HEAD. THE LORE. AAAAAAAAAA guys like seriously his new keyblade is 10/10 I love Kingdom Hearts YEEESSSSS
The more I look at it from the better angle it just seems so plain.. I'd rather they kept the Way to Dawn. Maybe Riku will use it only to start the gummi ship and have a different one for battle?

Despite how wonky his hat is looking in the promo pic, I really want Christmas Town Sora! Been wanting to pick up a figure of him for a while now.
Side note: As much as I love that Riku figure, I still cannot get over how much his keyblade looks like a car key. It's priceless.
It being plain is literally my only gripe with it. It's not BAD looking, not for me, but had at least something else to it.
This seems more erasing the past than letting go of it. This is the key I'd expect from a new Guardian in KH IV.
Alright, that's enough complaining about it from me. It's there, and we'll see where this goes.

Why would that happen? I like the idea of it changing forms too but it seems pretty likely that this will work like the other Mickey head chain keyblades - they change when you add keychains but their normal form is that. And if Riku isn't playable he probably won't get keychains which means this will be his keyblade the whole time.
But seriously the hilt just reinforces that this is literally a giant key, it looks like the rubber protectors some keys come with. A modern key compared to the more classic keys Sora and Mickey have. It's like the least subtle thing I have ever seen.
Looks like Fenrir fused with Sleeping Lion.
Am I the only one who thinks Riku's keyblade looks like a giant car key???

Had me laughing irl over that XD
I like how it reminds me of how bulky Terra's keyblades are. I think it was important to him progressing as a person for him to let go of Way to Dawn. He walked the path of darkness, found the Way out, and now he's reached his Dawn. It does look pretty basic but the simplistic design fits in with the Kingdom Key.
EDIT: OOPS double posted pls forgive me
I guess the thing that makes it feel bland is how it relates to the Metal Chocobo. Just a huge piece of metal with two dark colors. The Fenrir has teeth and hilt design. This Keyblade would probably be better if it was covered in those circular impressions like the real key and added some design to the hilt.

I get what you mean but it does have other small details in it. the hilt itself is the metal with the black parts bolted on. It's a particularly sleek handle too.

Riku's keyblade looking simple and plain is f***ing perfect, now he looks like one member of the modern keyblade trio (Sora, Mickey, Riku). Way to the Dawn was cool, but too edgy like Riku was in KH2. Now he changed completely as a person, and that great keyblade resembles It.
Impending announcement of car collaboration between SE, Disney, and some car company
UGH I NEED THIS RIKU NEXT TO MY SORA BRING ARTS
Uhh, yes. I really need these. Especially Riku. But both Soras look amazing too.
everyone is dissing riku’s key, just wait until he starts his gummi ship with it cowards
I actually really love the car key. It's in the vein of thicker/heavier keyblades one would expect of Terra (and to a lesser extent Riku) but it's also sleek and modern. Aesthetically, I think it fits Riku very well.
On a side note, I always did like the not-an-old-fashioned-key Keyblades. Keybladeslike this, or Fenrir, or the Chocobo one. It gives the series a bit more variety.
Yeah so I already have the normal Sora Play Arts of both those forms, and the colors on these versions sort of look nicer, but I won't be double dipping when there are so many other figures I want ha.
On that note, I NEED RIKU! I'm still so bummed I couldn't afford the Dream Drop version cuz Play Arts Kai are overpriced af. I like his Keyblade, surprised its just the Kingdom Key's keychain?
Ya I'm definitely getting that Riku. Now I'm gonna have to get the Sora and the inevitable Kairi to match.
All these people are joking about Riku starting his gummi ship with his car key-looking keyblade. But all I can think about when reading that is the thought of some killer gummi ship multiplayer.
On topic, the figure looks very good.

Yeah I skipped the regular Sora cuz I know I need the Toy Story version of him, Donald, and Goofy they announced last year. Kinda think all of them will come out later that these three? Since these have pictures and those ones did not.
A Mickey keychain? What does it meeean? Is it the same keychain KK has and it just transforms into a different looking key for Riku or does it just look the same but isn't actually? Playable Riku looking very likely now, don't mind at all lemme test that swag new keyblade! Still hoping it won't be a full split game like DDD, and more like the Roxas part of KH2, just not a tutorial.
Also, that's honestly the best looking KH figure so far, even the face looks amazing. Boy got so pretty.
Well damn, between Riku, 0.2 Aqua, and KH3 Sora, there's so many things a person can do to stage scenes using this figures while waiting for KH3.
Have Riku introduce Aqua to Sora, Sora reaching for Aqua. Aqua and Riku back to back while fighting Heartless (you could use the Diamond Select Heartless figures here).
On a side note, I need to get KH3 Riku, KH3 Sora, and 0.2 Aqua.
So how long until we learned about his new Keyblade, it's probably the most divided Keyblade in the series,
In 24 hours it's already a meme, most hate it for being bland, and we know nothing about it.
Unfortunately, when did we learn names of Keyblades, I'm sure playing the game

Aqua is gorgeous, I got her immediately lol. I guess since she is Play Arts Kai, she would be significantly larger than the Bring Arts ones, correct? Given how they are almost a third of the price. Sora has a Play Arts Kai, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do Riku as well lol.
I sort of am waiting to see if they keep recoloring the Sora Bring Arts and adding different Keyblades...We have normal with the new star Keyblade, Second Form with Kingdom Key, and Shield Form with the Olympus Keyblade. If they released his new "magic" form with the Tangled Keyblade I would get it for sure. I assume Toy Sora will come with the Toy Story keyblade so that one is out for a potential "power" form. And I think they may want to make Monster figures as well, so I also assume they wouldn't release that one either. So maybe an unannounced Keyblade would come with it?
I feel like this new keyblade is Riku's keyblade in it's true form. Like, Sora's keyblade has the true form of a skeleton key with a Mickey keychain.
Ooh, so his Keyblade also has a Mickey Keychain? HOW.

If the Kingdom Key and the Kingdom Key D are from the realms of light and darkness respectively, maybe this third keyblade with the same keychain is of the realm in-between. Maybe, who knows?
Hmm.. anyone else think it's weird Disney allowed for Mickey to wield a weapon from the dark realm?
I mean, KK has it, KKD has it[since it's basically the same blade as KK], this one has it. I think it's just some default keychain that doesn't really have much purpose. Of course maybe this one might actually be from Mickey himself instead of something that just happened to be there like with KK.
I dunno, I think it says something since Kingdom Key was meant for Riku originally correct? I don't think its just "default" lol. That also sounds too simple for KH :P

I'm just saiyan. Besides, the Mickey keychain on KK was just there because Disney.
As for Riku's new keyblade, maybe the keychain is a gift from Mickey? I dunno.
Personally, I'm going with the silver mickeys being for Keyblades of light and the golden mickeys for being Keyblades of darkness. The whole thing with 0.2 seemed to imply to me, at least, that a Keyblade of the realm of light will have a reflection in the realm of darkness. Probably to do with whatever reason the Door to Darkness has to be sealed by one of each.
Oh man, Riku's keyblade is too good! I love the simple design, which perfectly mirrors the Kingdom Key, but just modern!
These are my favorite types of designs, which is why I don't like most Disney world keyblades.
The Kingdom Key is too important at this point for them to give that keychain without it having a meaning behind. I also don't think it's just because it's a gift from Mickey, since Kingdom Key D already has it and isn't even Mickey's own Keyblade, and I think even regular Kingdom Key doesn't seem to have its appearance "decided"by the mouse.
If it wasn't for the fact that Kingdom Key seems to be the only Keyblade that doesn't change despite the master, I'd even say that that's Kingdom Key Darkside but wielded by Riku, but at this point I can see it being a Kingdom Key from a Realm Between.
Whoops, forgot No Name also doesn't.
Hmm.. anyone else think it's weird Disney allowed for Mickey to wield a weapon from the dark realm?
No since it looks like the holiest and regalest key ever, despite where it comes from. Appearance is usually what decides these things.
My theory is that this keyblade will have a similar role/importance as the Kingdom Key/Kingdom Key D.
Riku's new KB looks just like a basic Dimple Key just like the kingdom keys look like a basic skeleton key. All of which have Mickey head keychains (although this could purely symbolize Riku's connection with Mickey).
I believe that the Victory Line Keyblade has a Mickey head as it's from Disney Town and differs to the main Keyblades mentioned. Zero/One is just a pixel/data version of Sora's Kingdom Key.
Yes, I know, Nerd Alert. Lol
> Riku's Keyblade looks like a car key
> Riku's new haircut resembles Noctis'
Riku's Keyblade's Transformation will be the Regalia. It will vary between Type-F and D.

Does the all black paint Job for the Regalia shield Riku and Mickey from the darkness while traversing the RoD? I like where this new canon is goin.
I understand people have gripes with the New riku look and keyblade, but as a figure collector, I am just ecstatic to have the chance to get a highly detailed Riku to add.
And I am personally a large fan of the outfit, a semi fan of the keyblade. I like fenrir, and the resemblance is obvious enough.
So real talk, do we think they will ever make figures of the non-Halloween Towns form for at least Sora? Lol. I realize Atlantica is hard since it would always NEED a stand. But the others seem fairly marketable? I just dunno why its always these 2, and then they threw in the Grid from DDD once at least lol.
I mean they don't even make figures of poor Donald and Goofy...we had to wait for the SH Figuarts to do them justice (which I pre-ordered those 2 today so yay) Maybe they will do different versions of the characters...since they have only done 4 so far, I could see them making more.

Donald and Goofy are treated like shit, Nomura didn't even made a new design for them.

That does bum me out...I guess they got like 3 designs in the first game and they were like "You good for all the others" lol. That doesn't include their Halloween and Atlantica looks either...I guess Mickey never gets to go to places like that so instead he gets a new outfit every game? Idk ha.

Chip & Dale can upgrade your car’s light to repel Heartless.
All joking aside, maybe Riku’s Keyblade transforms into his Gummi Ship.

That's what I like about the Bring arts series is they seem to be the most expansive. They announced the Sora, donald, and goofy Toy story forms which is exciting. I'm not sure they would do the Monster's Inc stuff, but I definitely wouldn't rule it out as impossible. However, it does seem like most figure lines are focusing on KH3 so I doubt we would get like timeless river or Space paranoids.

Well like I said the SH Figurarts just started their KH line, and so far did KH2 versions. So they could conceivably do some of the KH2 forms. But also yea, I could see them doing KH3 as well lol.
I agree Bring Arts are gonna do KH3 from this point, minus apparently the always needed Halloween Sora's for the Hot Topic crowd lol. Maybe they will surprise us though? I really want Monster figures of SDG though...
I really want Monster figures of SDG though...
Absolutely. I hope so too. I would love to have bring arts of every SGD form from KH3.
