I... don't know? Only toku things I got this year were Figuarts.
I guess Mashin Chaser would top it then. But all three Drives guys I got (Drive Speed, Mach) were pretty good.

I'm pretty much strictly a mecha collector...so my top two faves from this year would have to be the Legacy Tigerzord and DX Shurikenjin (and, from first impressions, I thought I'd hate that figure...but it definitely grew on me).
I keep trying to like the new Sentei mecha (Jyouou King?), but I must say that, for a 40th anniversary line, I was hoping for a one-year return to the 80's styling...where you had a mech with simple, sleek lines that - at first - doesn't look like component parts but then splits into vehicles...complete with an air-carrier. |

From this year I bought one new Toku item. The StarBurger. I love it. For obvious reasons.

Well, a lot came out this year, and I only got a little, so if I only count what I got:
Legacy White Tigerzord - Simply the best imo. Show accurate, and completes SHF White Ranger, and prepares for Legacy Thunder Megazord Legacy Megazord - What I missed out on during the first few runs. Need the rest of the team to complete Ultrazord. Just happy to finally have it in my collection. S.H. Figuarts Thor - A good figure, and my favorite Marvel character. Not perfect, but, I think a great companion, or upgrade to the Figma release, and companion to the next on my list.... S.H. Figuarts Iron Man MK45 - A beautiful rendition of the film suit. Initially, not top on my list, but after some reviews and galleries, he grew on me. Then I got Thor......and it was like he needed a teammate. My first Iron Man SHF, as I've been on the fence with the other releases, prioritizing higher want releases. S.H. Figuarts Kivala - Another wonderfully made female Rider. My experience with most Toku shows is minimal, this my knowledge of her was as such. But a bit of Wiki-ing, I have a bit of insight. But on looks alone she had me. Instant buy. S.H. Figuarts Masked Rider 3/Sangou - Same as above. His looks alone made it a instant buy, but admittedly, in the face of virtually no Sentai releases, Rider has been a bigger focus. Only thing I nick it for is a lack of more accessories, namely, wishing he had at least a Shocker Sword or Staff like some Ichigo releases. But experts on this character would probably say it's unnecessary. S.H. Figuarts Black RX - A must buy, who I kept overlooking until he went up in price. Now the MMPR/MR teamup can happen, and it makes way for my next big purchase... Honorable Mentions (those I don't have): S.H. Figuarts Rideron/Ridelone - Another instant buy, and the second reason I had to get RX. Now I need this, Biorider, and all three bikes, and his series will be complete. S.H. Figuarts Tridoron - one I'll likely never own...or not any time soon. Feature wise, the better of the two Rider cars, and not being a big Drive fan, love the design of this car. I'm already a sucker for 1:12/6-inch vehicles especially Figuarts-centric ones, and this delivers in spades. Bandai even compensated for Drive's tire & properly molded his seat. Lights, panels for his weapons, and the modular gimmick all add up to a worthwhile release worthy of another grail car, Machine Itasha. S.H. Figuarts Star Wars - I'm grouping all releases as this whole line, while hit or miss for some, is a boon no one saw coming...and it's not over yet. Marvel Legends - Although I haven't bought any in recent months due to my Figuarts obsession, the fact Hasbro has been on their game, with such an overflow of releases this past year is to to say the least a figure lovers dream. Star Wars Black Series (6-inch) - More love from Hasbro. With Bandai's entry into the franchise, Hasbro's had to bring their A game. They've done pretty well in my opinion, matching Bandai's offerings & leading with some of their own. Fans now have a choice in design & cost efficiency. Here's to bigger, better releases in 2016.....& hopefully.....the return of Super Sentai. Ya feelin' me Bandai? Where's my Dekaranger Swat? Where's my Kingranger? My Magiranger Legend Mode? Where's that damn Figuarts Lord Zedd?!? |
