So Gridon? Im tempted, but he looks off to me. That and he isnt much of a character in the show. So I think Ill just see if I want him after release.

So what's the deal with the base form SHF Accel? There is quite a few of them on Mandrake, but they are pretty darn expensive, between 4 and 6 thousand yen a piece.

So yes, we're getting Gridon before the only two other relevant Riders before him, because they're showing off July exclusives now, because exclusives go up before regular releases. Do you even collect Figuarts? This isn't a new thing. |

His colours seem to light, but that MAY be because of lighting? I dunno, he really should be darker. Sculpt wise he's excellent. Though the compound effect looks, I dunno, too big? Or I may be wrong considering how many arms feature yellow eyes.
Though yeah, Kurokage or Bravo would be better. Hell, we don't even have official photos for Ryugen and Zangestu by themselves. Quote:
It's complicated. Basically, compared to just about any Figuart, the W ones are not good. Lacking in accuracy, more primitive engineering. They're old, and it shows. Accel, thus, is old, and unlike CycloneJoker never got reissued to my knowledge. They are in DESPERATE need of a revamp, which I certainly hope will happen. But wait, there's more! He's also a notorious example of the W Figuart's problems with accuracy: his helmet is a smidge oversized and totally messed up, with a weird, wide, droopy visor. Oddly enough, this was fixed somewhat. Accel Booster, a oft-forgotten movie-exclusive upgrade, included a replacement head. More accurate, but sadly a touch undersized. But basically, if you want the best Accel SHF, you gotta get the original AND Booster, meaning both figures get price jacks. You see why now I decided to go with the model kit as soon as I got one. And no, there is no SIC Accel which is bullshit IMO. God how freaking COOL would it be? I'm not even sure if Project Bm got to Accel. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 02-06-2014 at 12:50 AM.. |

Shame I can't put model kits together for shit. I guess I dodged a bullet with Accel then, thanks to those prices.

Just out of curiosity do any of the older figuarts hold up to the newer ones?

I'll probably get Skull and Accel's figurises since I'm slowly getting better at models. But personally, I'll still get the other figuarts since, well, W.

Have to agree that Gridon looks a little off, however, Gaim is starting to overtake Blade as my favourite Kamen Rider despite only 16eps in so im tempted to get at least the base form of everyone.
I think its safe to say, Bandai will not be playing with us by making our beloved Zangetsu an Exclusive now. |
