Thanks! I saw those T&B figures, can't wait for them to be announced. Hopefully they're not exclusives.
I saw the raffle exclusive Wild Tiger with the open face plate, agh why did they have to make it so limited? I guess it's extremely unlikely Bluefin will get any for the US market. As for bringing any over to the US.. it could happen, but they'll never reissue exclusive figures, so unless they bring them over to the US at the same time as the original run, like what they're doing with Dekablue and Black Condor, you won't ever see them. I still don't know why it wasn't just a swappable head with the new movie version or something. I guess there's still some hope that they include that with a later release of him (we've already had, what, 4? So why not more). That's just as unlikely though. I would love to see a figure of Tiger in his original costume though! |

I doubt they'd go so far as to make Blue Rose and Dragon Kid exclusives if they did the others so far.
It'd be too weird. Now if Tiger and Barnaby were mass release and the other heroes were exclusives, then I'd see it happening.

The other characters getting a mass release doesn't mean anything.

But if they were gonna be exclusives you'd think we would have heard about it by now, with how much they're displayed at each toy show.
I really hope they aren't. Dragon Kid's my favorite of the Heroes.

Dragon Kid was a nice surprise in the show. It's too bad she didn't get more of her back story fleshed out. Blue Rose I can easily see people not liking. She's a bit of a coward, her superhero suits makes her look like she's in her 40s and her crush on Wild Tiger is...odd to say the least.
But I don't see making the others exclusives as a popular decision. I'm sure there are a lot of people who want a full cast of heroes and limiting the numbers of figures made for the others is just a bad idea. |

Just a friendly note to all you guys that it's been decided to keep the Figuarts thread here strictly on discussion of the Toku side of things. Since there isn't enough traffic to devote a whole subforum to off-topic toys like TFW's Toyark, all other things and images Figuarts can continue in the corresponding Figuarts thread in General Discussion.
http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=10057 Feel free to continue the T&B talk over there, as well as anything on DBZ, One Piece, the upcoming Saint Seiya Omega, even Pretty Cure.

I think it'd be odd to have Blue Rose as an exclusive and not, say, Origami Cyclone or Rock Bison. She seems more important than they do.
Anyway, I guess I'll cough up the money if Blue Rose and Dragon Kid are exclusives, I like all the characters from the show a lot. I'd probably even buy a Figuarts Zero of Agnes if they made one. They made Saito as that raffle exclusive so it doesn't actually seem that unlikely. Those type of raffle figures don't ever show up on Mandarake do they? Incidentally I was stocking up on koto MSG stuff on HLJ and saw their KR sale... heavily considering getting the 000 Shauta figure and the Kiwami Wolf and Horse Orphnochs. The later two just make sense since I was going to pick them up anyway and they're so discounted they'd pay for the shipping themselves almost. The 000 Shauta is one of the designs that stood out to me most when I was looking up SHF stuff... it reminds me of the Guyver. Really slick design. Quote:

Hey fellas. Nadeshiko just came in. First impression: Damn this toy is LIGHT! The absence of diecast aside, the figure's female proportions gives Bandai a chance to skim out on a lot of plastic. Figure-wise, the articulation is standard Figuarts which is awesome. The Silver paint looks very striking and is relatively well done save for an unfortunately positioned scratch on her...right boob. Also the shoulder articulation where the arm and the shoulder pad meet feels rather flimsy. Might just be on mind.
The packaging is one of the most handsome designs I've seen on a Figuart in a while. This might be one of the few exclusives where I'll keep the box along with my Kamen Rider Joker box. Is it worth the premium? Not really. It does come with a super awesomely pink Figuart stand which brings out all kinds of warm fuzzy feelings. If you have a Fourze, I'd try getting her to compliment him but don't pay over 70 bucks for her. I mainly got her just to have a feel of what future female Riders would be like. Hopefully Femme will have a little more heft to her. Not to say that a light figure is a bad thing but for the premium you'd be paying, I'm not sure if you feel you'd get your money's worth. |

If you're worried about getting your money's worth, Femme could always come with her contract beast...
