I don't understand how people can pass on these. Yes the figures are slight remolds. But the weapons they come with can only be gotten with these releases. You aren't paying for just a simple remold anymore, there's original stuff in there that makes it worth owning. Maybe that's just me and my wild love for this show, it's possible. But I still don't understand it, it seems like a win win to me.

When I first saw the announcement for the new Akiba Blue and Yellow, I scoffed. It was ridiculous for just new heads. Then when the cameo Rangers were revealed in Figuart form and they all have only indicated they come with incredibly minor accessories to complete an Akibaranger look, if one so desired... but saw people talking about these Inordinate Power weapons, I was left confused. Why weren't they announced with them like the last weapons were? Now that we know Blue and Yellow are coming with these weapons... There is no reason not to get them, if you're a fan (especially Blue, being a new character). They're still at ordinary Figuart prices and come with some amazing accessories. It all seems very worth it.

Yellow has such few differences that there didn't seem to be a need to own her. But the fact that Blue is a new character made it all the more tempting. I already own the season 1 Akiba Yellow and Blue. And if it weren't for the fact that you're getting Inordinate Powers, I would've skipped them entierly. |

My original logic was:
Super Akiba Red: Definite buy Akiba Blue 2: Well she's a new character so sure Akiba Yellow 2: Ehh, I'm getting the others. Wouldn't feel right not getting her.

I'll almost certainly get the season 2 Blue eventually because as noted she is a new character. But I will wait for her to hit clearance. Same with Yellow. I can do without what is essentially a $10 "have to own it as soon as possible!" tax with these. They will not sell out. The originals didn't. Too many other things I want to make these virtually identical figures a priority.
And if they do somehow sell out, then I'm fine doing without those accessories. |
