Huh, I heard the 20th, NY had it listed that way at one point.
And I've had my first casualty. The cat got up on my shelf and knocked everyone off. Thankfully it wasn't worse, but one of Scorpion's leg spikes broke off and I can't find it to try and glue it back on. She's now displayed behind everyone else..makes it hurt less. http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/item-1000087075/ |

A couple of things:
1. Where the hell is Kiva? 2. I'm glad I have the opportunity to get a Shadow Moon, but yeeeeeeah....the difference between the new one and old one is not really all that noticeable, especially considering Black/RX and Kabuto. 3. Where the hell is Kiva? 4. Did anybody get a shipping notification from NY yet about Bravo ? He apparently released yesterday, and I'm kinda anxious since he's probably my most anticipated release of the year. 5. Where the hell is Kiva? 6. Also, any notifications for Kikaider? ....did I mention Kiva already?

Looks like my Kachidoki will be here tomorrow. Nice. Really interested to see how that mix of metallic and matte paint looks in person. Looks so gorgeous in pictures.

Per the actual webshop listing, Bravo was released on the 19th, so that 20th date from NY sounds right. I saw Shadow Chaser on Mandarake over the weekend so I know at least some TWEs have hit; maybe NY's just slow right now.

Yeah, I think they're just being slow. I haven't heard anything about either Kikaider or Bravo despite them coming out on Saturday.

I find it saddening to see nothing here for me save for a few releases this year, and some of those are out of my range for now. Awaiting Saturn & Akarenger from Image Anime. The Iron Men are just too much right now, so I'll have to wait. My focus is getting older releases, like the Sailor Scouts, Anti Piracy Guys, Daft Punk, the Gokaigers, the SDCC Samurai set, Nadeshiko, Meteor Fusion, Massigler, and a second set of MMPR. Guess the only near future release I'll break bank on is KR Femme.

My Kachidoki did in fact arrive today. Overall, super pleased with what I see so far. Some initial thoughts
Almost every inch of this guy is painted. He probably has more painted parts than non-painted parts. The metallic paint used is wonderful and I love seeing the shining parts of the armor against the matte parts. Minor paint blemishes on mine.Some spots on one of the shoulder armors and the lock seed looks pretty beat up (both open and closed have some issues). With the amount of paint on this guy, I kind of think that's expected and none of it's too bad. He still looks absolutely beautiful. The joints for some of the armor, particularly the hip armor, are very lose, but they're always meant to be supported by the legs so that won't be an issue for most. Just don't expect to do any stylized poses where the armor needs to stand away from the body on its own joints. I don't think it'll hold those well. Speaking of joints, the ones that attach the flags to the backpack are tiny. I'd recommend being careful when removing those from the backpack. They seem like they're strong enough to hold up over time, but I'm a bit concerned about them. Final thoughts, the amount of motion this guy has with as much bulk there is to him is nuts. The armor is jointed in such a way that he is nearly as posable as Orange arms. The only things that I found limiting were his ab-flex joint and the waist motion. Both of these have problems with the belt hitting against the armor, limiting the amount of motion. It's a minor sacrifice and I could still put him in almost any pose I can think up.

Speaking of excitement, guess who greeted me when I came home 15 minutes ago!
