So hey, what's the deal with the SHF Shinkengers? From what I hear their joints are incredibly fragile and prone to breakage, but how bad actually is that and is it that much worse than other sentai SHFs? Furthermore, are there versions of the molds that are much better; such as perhaps the SDCC Power Rangers 5-pack?

My SS Den-O came and now that I have 5 of these little buggers, I'm curious.
Is there a particular reason that my Drive has a static belt while all the others are moveable? |

I don't mean to argue because I'm new, but my Fourze has a loose belt and he's pre-Drive

It's not exactly static but it's very tight-fitting. It won't exactly swivel around easily but it can be shifted up and down a bit if you pose him in a way that shows a bit of a gap and want to move it to cover it up.

Hi! First time posting here, but I guess I've lurked off n on for a while.
I recently started getting back into growing my KR collection. I have a nice amount of stuff but really cut back several years ago. Now I see that the shinkouccho seihou line has really grown, and the main line has gotten bigger and better too! It is pretty overwhelming seeing everything at once, and seeing the prices now of figures that were any kind of web-exclusive! Is it normal to end up paying 60-80% more for an exclusive if you miss the pre-ordering boat? For example, SS Zanki came out only last year for around $70, but now he's $120-140. It's also confusing too when I see new figures coming out for pre-order at prices almost that high! I guess this is just the nature of the beast at this point. "Return that money to Bandai", right? Anyone have any recommendations as far as the "best" sites/shops that they stick with? What about local to the US vendors, as it seems Covid has halted a lot of postal traffic coming to/from Japan at this time? The recommendations from Bluefins site are cool but curious if there are others. How do YOU justify your pricetag limit on a Figuart? I personally love Shotaro and KR Joker... But do I love him enough to pay over $200 for him? Maybe it will be cheaper someday? Or maybe this is my last chance EVER?! Does anyone else make checklists for figures like this? Do you have an acquisition order you try to stick with, or will another figure's availability move it higher up your buy-list? Thanks for reading! |

I do have a checklist that I ranked as immediate pre orders, stuff I’m waiting to watch first , or when the price drops.Basically any main rider that gets the SS treatment will be an immediate pre order for me; it’s a figure I would get anyway and it’s better to acquire it before it goes up higher on the after market. For new seasons if I like the design I’ll probably pre order, but I’m learning the retail releases can be harder to get than web exclusives There’s plenty of other stuff I’d like to get from shows I’ve already seen but I’m waiting for shipments to go back to normal |

Figuarts does some metal heroes stuff here and there, right? What do you think the chance that they'll ever release a Jiraiya figure is?
Also, what's a reasonable price for Akarenger from Gorenger? When I was in Japan, I stupidly passed one up for ~~$12, and I didn't want to pay $40 for one after the fact. Now the cheapest price I see is ~~$75. Should I just grab one before it goes up even further?

If you can't buy a specific rider's figuarts, you can always check for its Figure-Rise Standard counterpart. Kamen Rider Joker has a model kit that's most likely around 30-40$ around places. |
