I impulsed like crazy on the new RAcaseal Eleanor figure from Bandai. It's pretty nifty, chocked with a TON of accessories including a DIY Bitz box which is in keeping with the PSO aesthetic. Not much gokin in it to justify the chogokin name in it. Stands roughly about a head taller than most standard Figuarts and rather poseable but none in her feminine hips.
The accessories alone (Stand, Wing Parts, Sword, Rifle, Bitz Box, loot pick ups, ammo pick up, that weird floating eye I don't ever remember seeing in the game, a speech bubble (!!!!), hands, stickers, a very detailed personal stand) make this well worth the premium. I kind of wish I held out for the more goth-loli black repaint but this is pretty cool by itself! Shino was one of the memorable characters in PSO for me. Not bad for some NPC who shows up for a single mission and then shuts herself down. I'm also jealous of anyone who ordered Fruiticus from BBTS and are getting their figures already. I went with Amazon and no word from them yet if they've even received any figures. |

And I must say that's a pretty nice haul. Wish I had Zeronos myself, but of course I cancelled that pre-order...
But how is Thundertron? I'm still interested in hunting down him, but of course need Dreadwing first... But now what he and Magnus are out, chances of finding DW are are even slimmer.. Thundertron is... really cool! I was a litle underwhelmed when I first opened it up but I fiddled with it and got it looking pretty snazzy. The way it was packaged, some bits were blocking some articulation and it took me a few minutes to figure out what to loosen. The shoulder pads were kind of locked behind the forearm armor at the elbow. Also it took me a second to realize the head movement was being impaired by some clear panels that could be folded out of the way. The mechtech weapon is predictably lame but I dismantled it and took out the clear blade part and trimmed some gear teeth away from the handle part and it now fits perfectly in his forearm and looks great! You have to fold his hand down which leaves a gap and I stuck the "handle" into the gap. So now he has a cutlass arm! The only real drawback I have so far(I haven't transformed it yet) is the head doesn't have a ton of movement(basically side to side, and looking down), and the wrists predictably don't have much either. He stands well even with the pegleg though. All in all I really like it. Plastic quality is okay, could be better, Paint apps are good. Not quite a 10/10 figure but I'd give it a solid 8 so far. |

Dammit! What did I screw up? I made a district effort to not botch the title and I did anyway.

Not really a purchase, but a gift.
For a long time, he has eluded me. He’s been nowhere, and when I do find him, my need for Ranger Keys took over. I had seen him in a shop once, but due to my desire to complete my Core Medals at the time, I walked past him. Yet something happened today, I had received a package and there he was. Thanks to my buddy Kamen Rider Meteor, I have received- SHF Ankh, the stand set. But with a different base of course. Thanks again buddy!
