That's not too bad. Hell, maybe I'll get lucky next time I go to the local collectible show.

If Bandai follows their pattern, I wouldn't be surprised to see a renewal Faiz announcement sometime in the next year. If I could make the choice again, I'd just pick up Autovajin and wait on an even better Faiz. |

I don't own many figuarts, at least not many from different shows, so my judgment is a little biased. My favorite SHF is still Gaim Orange Arms, which was my very first SHF-purchase alongside Baron Banana Arms. I love the look of Gaim, the orange fruit-visor is absolutely gorgeous, especially when the light hits it at a certain angle. Articulation and playability-wise he's perfect, although I admit I'm aware of the problems with the lockseed holder and the clip for the Musou Saber, even though it isn’t a thing on my Orange Arms. But it is on Pine and it's damn annoying.
Worst... eh. I have no figuart that I really hate. My Korukage is the most faulty one I got: Bent Kagematsu, improperly installed leg-joints which in conjunction with the floppy, loose foot-joint makes it almost impossible to stand him up. He falls over at the slightest contact every time. That's the figure I'm the most mad at, to a point where I was about to throw it against a wall. But then I remembered what I payed for the damn thing so I decided not to. I don't know if I should take Korukage for the worst one since technically only the QC-errors are to blame, not the figure itself, but it would be unfair saying Double is the worst for not being 100% show-accurate but the figure itself is awesome or going with Blue Beet because of the hindered articulation in the legs, but the figure looks awesome and the legs are the only point I would have to criticize. So Kurokage it is, sorry Hase-chan. EDIT: Ridoron and the wave effects are going up for pre-order July 1st, also a Black RX re-release that will be released alongside the Ridoron.

So, of your Figuarts, which is your favorite? Least?
For me, its a bit of a tossup. Hibiki, Bravo and Zolda are my favorite riders and the figure of each is outstanding. Ultimately I think Hibiki barely edges out Bravo. Zolda is cool, but I like Kitaoka as a character more than I really care for his, admittedly cool, suit. Bravo is a cool design, looks good, is my only exclusive, but that makes me nervous that I'll break him. Hibiki is downright gorgeous, he looks and feels premium. Least is my OG Black RX. I got it before I got into Kamen Rider because I wanted a Masked Rider for my shelf. He's not bad, just lackluster, I mostly like it for nostalgia. Least Favorite: Takuto Tsunashi. Not toku, but still an SHF. He was one of the early anime figuarts, and it REALLY shows.

The new Wave effects are beautiful! The Aura ones leave me pretty cold, though. They're so flat compared to the other effects pieces. I think I'll finally be skipping an effects set. I do not anticipate enjoying the battle for Ridoron tomorrow night.

Wave effects? Have they given a release date for the wind or lightning ones yet?
