Got my Ryugen today. He is pretty nice, but I'm not really satisfied with the guy. The paint, especially on the details, is pretty lacking. Nothing extreme, but you notice it. The right joint that connects the hand to the lower arm was put in the wrong way, I was pretty shocked for a moment when I pulled the joint out alongside with the hand. But after I figured it out, I switched the joint around and pushed it in the right way, seems to fit for now.
Still a very nice figure, but the weakest FiguArt I've gotten so far. EDIT: Just noticed another thing when I couldn’t stand hip um right, his left leg wasn’t pushed in all the way. Last edited by Kiwami; 08-18-2014 at 09:45 AM.. |

I'm still surprise Ryugen hasn't sold out on most websites. Gaim, Baron and Zangetsu sold out fast on their first week. Makes me wonder if the Shin Zangetsu SHF will be popular or not? The Mitchy hate is strong in the fandom right now.

Gaim & Baron are still in stock at NY, only Zangetsu is out. And I don't care if it's popular, I want one

Why does that surprise you? the pre-orders didn't even sell out for Ryugen at Amiami. Seriously it was nearly 2 months after he was listed before they sold out. Yes it's a nice gorgeous figure but there's a particular level of hatred for the character that to some people makes him less desirable. I own him and think he looks great, but there just isn't the demand for him that there is for the good guys.

Makes you wonder if preorders would have sold out like the others had it been put up before he turned sour in the show eh?

Fingers crossed that Micchy's unpopularity will aid me in getting a Zangetsu Shin...

Well my neighbors were doing construction work next door which cause most of my figuarts to fall down inside the glass shelve of mine. All of them were okay expect for Den-O sword form. The eye on his left side of his head is broken and won't come back on. Unless I can find away to glue it back on, I may have to buy a new one. I got him last year on Toy Arena and I notice he went up in prices this year.
What's the best glue to use to glue back pieces on figuarts? I don't know what to do if I can't fix him. He's a $40 figure, so throwing him out will be wrong. No one will buy him on eBay, so I might have to give him away to Good Will if I have no choice. Last edited by Guyver Spawn; 08-18-2014 at 06:17 PM.. |

I posted this on ranger board, so I am going to pose this idea here as well...
Ok, so I have this crazy idea and maybe it has been done before, but I am going to pitch it anyway. At the tamashii website, you can take a survey that asks about your purchase. You get to list what figuarts you have bought in the line, how you feel about the accessory count, how you feel about price point, and what you want to see come out in the line in the future (you can mention up to three figures/sets). They have two links up for the two most recent sentai releases. So why don't we band together as a fandom, pick two releases that we would all want to buy (allow everyone to pick a random one) and flood tamashii nations/bandai will data on the surveys they put up. The website is in japanese, but if you have google chrome, it will easily translate it and you can quickly take the survey (which takes about five minutes to complete). If we can come to a general consensus as a fandom on two releases, I think this idea could work. tamashii(dot)jp/anke/ (I am not sure if we can post hotlines on the board) |

Ugh, I feel you on that one, but unfortunately I think Takatora's popularity negates it...

But I did like what they ended up doing with the Rider, so I don't really regret it now. |
