I finally got my yomohetsuguri Ryu gen and doras in too! Two stunning figures but Doras gives me too much stress, those delicate horns of his man...
Also with drive, I'm not getting wild or technique, I miss out on weapons and hands but I'm just too satisfied with owning the TK versions that there's no point getting them again. Like they don't pose that much so the extra articulation doesn't really add to the experience. Definitely picking up chaser and type tridoron when they drop though. Has Mach's deadheat gone up for preorder already?

Unless you're waiting until October to get yours, I guarantee you, that "honor" goes to ME.

I had it in an order with the Figma Horse.
The horse got delayed until the end of September, because of course it did, and I couldn't split the preorder because N-Y is a bit of a bastard and the delay was "announced" the day of the payment deadline. So optimistically, I'm not gonna see the Grape of Wrath until the first week of October.

Wonder why NY doesn't seem to have Marika yet.. She came out a week ago.

Their processing time varies, but I've learned not to order from NY unless it's a last resort or something I don't really need immediately. In the past, they've taken as long as a week after the payment request deadline before I even receive their 'order processing' email.

Okay, what's with the tiny, easily-lost, totally unnecessary bits on recent SHF release?
I'm not talking about accessories: Figuarts are already famous for tiny, easily-lost accessories, and that's a reason why many of us love them. I'm talking about the kneepads, elbow details, and in the case of Kamen Rider Mach, his antennae. Unlike Lock Seeds, swappable belts, and similar, I can't think of any reason why these parts need to be removable. I don't get any display advantage from removing the elbow details on Drive. The reason I'm even bringing this up is that some of them fall out really easily. I'm actually a little shocked that I still have both of Drive's elbow details. Is this just a cost-cutting measure for Bandai to avoid molding unique elbows? Is there some benefit we're getting from this that I'm just not seeing? The closest I can get is Mach's antennae, since I suppose an impact that could snap one of them is more likely to just dislodge it. Anyone else find this to be an irritation? Should I just calm down? |

Well aren't S.H.Figuarts all made from a similar skeleton? if so then the elbow and knee details could be pieces molded separately that way tehy can reuse the same skeletons
