These look awesome together - glad I'm getting all of them.
If those are P-Bandai then I think they might not do another retail release at all. |

Honestly, I'm hoping they're more generous this time around. They were already generous enough to give 01 and Vulcan their respective weapons. But hey, maybe they can surprise me and have Shining Hopper AND Thouser/Assault Vulcan as retail. Just like the good 'ol times of Ex-aid where we got four retail releases!

Went in and pre-ordered Jin because I might as well. I think that one thing I would've loved to see them include was a ZetsumeRiser for Jin to hold and, maybe, slap onto a fellow 1/12 scale figure's waist. Just a little neat interaction gimmick you could do.

Ankh (arm form) showed up in the mail today. This release is almost certainly more scale-appropriate than the original, but it's so tiny, it's a little hard to appreciate the added detail. To an extent, I wonder if purchasing this when I already own the original Figuarts release was a questionable idea. The pre-release materials suggested the cloth strips hanging down from the arm are poseable, but there's no wire, and the cloth resists posing. One point I really appreciated is that the end of the hand's ball joint that connects to the peg is straight rather than a ball: attaching and removing hands is easier than normal for Figuarts, but the connection is satisfyingly stable. Not sure how they engineered it, but if it translates to larger figures, I'd really like to see more of this connection style in future releases.
The tiny cell medals come on runners, and are easy to twist off without the need for clippers. Since they're exceptionally small and easy-to-lose, I'm glad the portion of the clamshell for the runners can be repurposed to hold the loose medals. I like that Ankh comes with trios of core medals to hold, but the choice for one of them to be Taka/Tora/Bata makes little display sense unless Bandai is planning on releasing a pre-transformation Eiji. (If so, I suspect the likelihood of that will depend on how well Ankh's human form sells.) Also, why include TaJaDor when they already had the release of GataKiriBa scheduled? I'm glad they provided a Tamashii stage, arm, and adapter for Ankh. The release really wouldn't have felt complete without it. Somehow, I completely missed the Figuarts blog post that confirmed a detail I hadn't realized: this release can, in fact, be attached to Ankh's human form. I guess that leaves me glad I picked up this release! |

Yeah, because of that I'm more or less considering this 'DLC' for Human Ankh -- which makes it a lot more worth it

Surprised no one has posted pics on anywhere sticking Ankh arm to any other 1/12 figures. Seems like a great gimmick.

Not many other figures have removable forearms.

Figma does, tho.
Thinking about it... Ankh's arm would look great with Figma Tanya Degurechaff. |

So strange question.
I'm wanting a regular, base form Mach figure. I prefer that to his other forms, however it is easily his most expensive one. What isn't expensive though? Chaser Mach, and Deadheat Mach (which I own already). Would it be possible to buy a Chaser Mach, and take his upper torso, head, and shoulder pads,, and Deadheat Mach's lower half and arms, and create a base form Mach? Would this be difficult...or should I just keep looking for a good price on a regular Mach? |
