I want this thing so bad. Ever since we first saw it teased....
Was this a wide release, is it a fairly inexpensive pickup? |
I'm so torn. I've been watching this guy on BBTS for a couple months and planned on getting him,..but I think his shoulders just look terrible, like he's wearing a vest and has giant round balls for the front of his shoulders.
I really like Hongo he's probably my most favorite Kamen Rider, but for $60. for the figure and basically no accessories but the henshin effect,..and those crazy looking shoulders, I'm having a really hard time talking myself into buying him. https://i.imgur.com/Y8ZYHvN.jpg honestly those shoulders just look awful and really weird the way they cut into his chest like a vest. Very unnatural and bizarre looking. For $25.-$30. I'd probably jump on this figure, but for $60. I'm having a hard time getting excited about what was a very exciting figure when I first found out about it. |

And a new figuart for only $25-30, you have to realize that's absurd. Cost of production alone would put nearly any new release over that price point. Thats just unrealistic. The $60 price is a bit erroneous as well. Original retail was admittedly 6264 yen which is roughly $57.38 before shipping. However, most any import retailer would offer this figure at a discount. Amiami for instance had Hongo on 28% discount for their price which is 4490 yen, or $41.13, If you're buying this one figure, SAL shipping would still bring it in at around $50 total or slightly over that. And if you're ordering another figuart or two, the bulk SAL or EMS breaks down enough to keep it near that. Domestic retail price here in the states could certainly put it near $60, but that is a bit of an exaggeration even including shipping. I want toys to be cheap as well, but it's unrealistic to think of them in that way as well. If you want to take a chance you can always wait out a sale at HLJ or Hobby Search etc. But I doubt you'd ever find it that cheaply is all. |
I'd been watching it at BBTS for the past couple months and it's listed at $60.
So is the new V1 which I will get. The new V2 doesn't come out for a few more months but I want that one too. Curious if they'll make a new V3,..but I'd want that one too. It's hard to say what SHF prices are like. Some I've gotten for $20. Others (like Amazon Jin) I've had to pay $100. The prices are all over the place. So I'm just saying for $60. I was hoping Hongo would be better looking and not have weird goofy shoulders. |

yeah I just discovered that with SHM Shin. I paid about $130. for him with shipping from HLJ vs the $300. or whatever he's listing on ebay/amazon.
I'm just disappointed I guess. I really like Hongo and was really looking forward to a Hongo figure, ..and I'll probably still get him. Those shoulders though just annoy the hell out of me. |
All we need now is to put that figuarts head of Hongo on to this. :lolol

Wow, that’s a really nice head skulpt. I still wish they went with a more anime inspired design for the heads, but this Figure is one of the most relistic we’ve gotten.
