Not a bad suit design but it would look better with a less Iron Man color scheme, which seems to be somewhat of a default for generic power-armor.

Wait, aren't Figuarts made in China though?

Ugh I'm conflicted. I want to get Ichigata, but I also want Saber, Blades and Calibur.
Let's rob banks guys.

That was the point i was trying to make. China just deals with manufacturing, which is the reason they're also able to steal the molds and make bootlegs. If china manufacturing shfs meant they "made" them, then they would make brand name transformers too (hasbro just puts their name on the boxes lol). But for them to go out on a limb and manufacture and design their own homegrown competitor to figuarts, rather than bootlegging or manufacturing figuarts for japan, is amazing and shows how far they've come. I look forward to what stuff they've got coming next, i really hope they dip into their backlog and make some of the older series suits in this figure line. Some of those were real stunners.

Calibur can be a pass since we might get Jaouh Dragon, and Blades you can wait to drop in price. Ichigata would be a must-get tho. |

Blades is almost certainly becoming very available and a little cheaper than retail. If Vulcan still is at this stage despite his become absurdly popular, even if Blades becomes popular himself; I think that's a pretty good indication. I'd skip Blades for now if he's giving you issues with deciding who to get, he's easily the safest bet of the lot on the aftermarket.
Saber of course will be a little hard to get too due to being a main rider unless a re-issue happens, so I'd try and get him while he's cheap -- you likely won't get that chance again. Calibur strikes me as the Premium Bandai rider that's going to be the hardest to get on the aftermarket, unless our eventual Q2 post-Christmas Rider ends up being awesome. It's hard to beat the cool-looking base form of an intimidating antagonist who's purple to boot. That said? I think Saber SHFs on the whole won't be some of the hardest to get on the aftermarket. Unless something turns it around, unlike Build and Zero-One's stuff which are popular series; Saber is very unpopular right now from all indications and not something a lot of collectors seem to be clamouring for. I'd look at the likes of Ghost and Zi-O's aftermarket prices to see how this will go; aside from the main rider for obvious reasons I doubt it'll be hard to get stuff on the aftermarket if you really want it.

Figuarts Geiz Revive has popped up for as low as 5000 yen on Mandarake since the summer but you'd have to stalk the website to catch that from time to time.

I preordered Saber and Blades. I want Calibur because I prefer his base form more than Jaou Dragon honestly. Though maybe I should wait for aftermarket price considering that yeah maybe Saber isn't as popular as of now.
