This isn't really Sentai/Rider related so I am keeping it here. For future reference too, if any of you feel like making non-Toku related toy threads, feel free to post them here.
D-Arts is like the video game based equivalent of the SH Figuarts line. Since the staff here inadvertently killed my wallet and drove up my love for SH Figuarts, I ended up crossing over to D-Arts too, hence my 1st purchase. My 1st purchase in the line is Zero V2. I passed on V1(and almost bought it!) because it lacked the Z-saber. Zero is bad ass with the saber! So I waited and now I have it. I like it. At first I felt that it was rickety and felt kind of cheap, but once I "broke in" the joints, it was a joy to pose. The only annoying thing is that his hair does not pivot upwards as much as I would like(it's due to the helmet sculpt), and his silver arm covers(for the elbows) can get dislodged easily. In addition, the right forearm can easily swap for another arm, and I tried to take off the left forearm but it wouldn't budge so I stopped. Is it supposed to come off? If not..man I hope I didn't damage it! Doesn't seem like I did. This figure is excellent. Tamashii did a great job hiding most of the joints. At 1st glance it does not look like it could be as articulated as it actually is. Actually, from 1st glance, it looks like a PVC statue! That's how well the joints are disguised and it's necessary to maintain the anime-accurate look. The ankle joints are wonderful, those and the shoulder joints are double jointed in a neat manner. The hip joints are weird, they work great but I have trouble figuring out just HOW they work. Ultimately there's a lot going on with this figure engineering wise and it is an impressive sight to behold. I will get X eventually and hope Blues/Protoman makes his way to the collection.

The only D-Art I have is Omegamon, and my god is he gorgeous!
There is a beautiful shine to his entire body, and his accessories are great. The Omega saber, the Garuru Cannon, and that cape of his (Also included is a second jaw for his Garurumon arm to better hold the cannon). While I do wish he came with blast effects like his Mega Man brethren, I'm fine with just this. The only problem I have is that the connection from his waist to his legs is kind of loose, but once you start posing him, it really doesn't feel like in issue. Most people know Omegamon from Digimon: The Movie, possibly from his brief scenes in Adventure 02, and god help you if you know him from his appearance in Savers/Data Squad. But I'll always remember him from that time he went on a mass killing spree with no remorse for any of his actions. |

I can see why Terry is delayed though, Tamashii doesn't like exposed/unsightly joints and since Terry's arm has no sleeves, that shoulder joint can't be to their liking. Irritated that we haven't heard much since though. I DO remember however, when Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA mentioned fighting game figures by Tamashii, in addition to KOF, they DID mention Samurai Showdown! Or more or less suggested it. How can you not want a Kibagami Genjuro and Hattori Hanzo D Arts figure?

Omegamon is the one figure from this line I want most. I've got Beelzebumon and Wargreymon and Dukemon preordered, but it just won't feel complete till I get him. I don't know when I'll be able to afford him though...

Oh I love this thread! I've got Zero v.2 and I love him! I had to cancel my pre-order for Gallantmon though. Too many other high priority items arriving at the time. I hope I can pick one up later down the road!

I own two:
X and Izanagi from Persona 4. X is pretty good, he's basically Figuarts quality. Izangi on the other hand is okay. The head on mine is a little bit on the loose side. |

I will get X eventually, I want the normal version and possibly the super armor version.
I would love to see D Arts Rockman, Blues, Rush and Beat! Also Gemini Man.
