Though more Sentai stuff would be preferred still, if we get other properties brought over and Americanized in the 90s, I'm all for it. Beetleborgs would be great if brought over here. VR Troopers related stuff would be of interest too since I know at least one of the suits (Ryan's second form) has been made as a Figuarts figure.

Well, I thankfully managed to snag a Kiwami at N-Y. That, at the moment, leaves Kachidoki as the only SHF Gaim figure I haven't been able to pre-order.

VR Troopers Figuarts would be cool, but I'm not sure how well they will sell here. Most people seem to forgot about that show. MMPR and Beetleborg were Saban's most popular Toku shows. Most casual people seem to forgot about Masked Rider too.

People often forget about those shows because they were awful
VR had some quirky charm but Masked Rider in particular was just bad. But there isn't even remotely enough US demand to get those figs off the ground like there was for MMPR. Blue Beet & Black Beet are happening because of the Japanese market for them. There isn't even an indication that they would come to the US right now. Bluefin is still testing whether people even want them. And being that Beetleborgs was more popular than VR in the US and their release is in question, the eventuality of VR SHF's is slim in the US. Though if the B-Fighters sell well in Japan I imagine they would eventually get to the other shows that made up VR via the Taashii Web Shop. Shaider already came out, Metalder is popular enough to be inevitable now I believe, Spielban & Diana Lady would be needed to round out the cast from the US though. And I'm unsure of how popular Spielban as a show was.

Wait, Kiwami is up for preorder? Is it a web exclusive or what? Because HLJ doesn’t seem to have him yet. But AmiAmi doesn’t usually carry exclusives, right? Seems like I have to play the waiting game.
Anyway, is there a reliable site that is still taking preorders for Zangetsu Shin? I was very late to the Figuart game so I didn’t get one. But maybe I can snag one after he is released, I only got Gridon after he was out, before then he was sold out to. |

As for Shin Zangetsu, the preorder window expired so I doubt many of the middleman sites have it available still. Unless there's an outlier than still has it open, you'll have to wait for it to be released and see orders reopen at the middleman sites and/or wait for some to pop up on Mandarake/Jungle.

Ah I see, thank you. I hope Nippon Yasan will have some Zangetsu Shin's left after he is released, they may put the price point a little higher, but still nothing I'm not willing to pay for this figure.
I will wait until Kiwami is up on HLJ, even if he is sold out fast, I usually get the chance of preordering Figuarts there, after the initial huge wave of preorders the products go up for order again quite often. More like every time, all of the Figuarts I have ordered were sold out when I found them, but I had the chance to get an order in every time. |
