Yeah like Akiba said its a pun. The kanji for Mashin means "demon" or something, which goes with the whole reaper thing he has going on.

That's due, in part, to Gaim Kiwami being a retail release while the two-pack is a web exclusive. Their prices on non-Bluefin web exclusives that they actually have to import has always been really pricey.
With Drive & Chaser, presumably they're not sure they can actually get any? With Bluefin unable to acquire the license for Gaim (and unable/unwilling to get the Drive license, since they're dropping toku-related Figuarts anyways), they're left importing them directly like web exclusives and they haven't always had the best of luck for non-Bluefin stuff they have to acquire themselves. For a long time any of their Showa Ultra-Act listings were taken with a grain of salt since they wouldn't always be able to fulfill them (until legal roadblocks were cleared and Bluefin could get them). I would say it's being done for no good reason. But maybe their is one. Bluefin's adamant stance against saying anything regarding it is just as infuriating though.

Hey! >:|
Kachidoki is the better figure though. And so far my favorite Gaim Figuart next to Melon Energy. Lemon I can't judge because mine's still not here. But I was disapointed with the Kiwami release too. It's not the QC issues since mine's okay, but things like the visor and the thick plastic on the chest that clouds the design underneath. And the cape is meh. I would understand anyone who passes on this and gets Kachidoki for a super Gaim instead. |

If Kamen Rider Sango gets a SHF then I wonder if Tamashii will reuse Shin Ichgio's mold like they have many times before or make a brand new one. Kamen Rider Sango is not a whole lot different from Ichigo and Nigo. I can't imagine he won't be that hard to make.

Seeing that they have a similar design I would imagine that they would reuse the same mold until you brought that up. I totally forgot about the broken chains for a moment.

I would definitely buy a Sangou SHF if they make one, the design looks really cool.
Now excuse me, I'm going back to the anticipation-camp for the Gaim 2-Pack and Blue Beet. |

Anyone aware of another SHF checklist out there? The old link is gone.

I honestly have no idea what to do with Banana Arms now. If Mango Baron is just as good as it is while looking like THAT, it's easily going to become my default Baron. Pine on the other hand will likely never leave its cardboard prison. But I do have a fully updated one. I can update my Flickr mirror tonight when I get home.
