I can't freaking wait for the rest of the Zyuranger and Jetman! Kibaranger and Ryuranger are sure to be beautiful and the Hurricanger have some of the best designs out, so I'm sure they'll be amazing to.

Just went out and bought JetHawk and JetCondor so that I can ready my collection for a complete set (I don't like just having a few members of the team, I need them all or not at all).

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Yuki Gai just shed a manly tear in heaven from that post, not knowing the badassery of Black Condor and Red hawk HOW DARE YOU!

He's talking about Red Hawk and Black Condor's Jet Machines, right?

...right?

keep debating picking up the 2 jetman mecha to go with the eventual figuarts team, but the price is pretty extreme

no..... dont think he was lol

I've already got RedHawk & BlackCondor. They both looked pretty nice even if the rest of the team didn't get a release. I'm glad they are though. I just hope the girls aren't to expensive.

I must own Ryuuranger & Kibaranger as well.

Just a heads up, got my Strike Wizard Robe from Bluefin today.

Did they send you any kind of notice that it shipped? Or did it just show up?

Guys, I made a little mistake, not a huge deal, lol. Only 5 episodes in to Jetman right now and I'm also watching Zyuranger at the same time, so I think I'm allowed to accidently put Jet(Bird) instead of (Colour)(Bird).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to their arrival. They look beautiful and probably have the best selection of accessories as any of the Sendai except maybe the Shinkenger.

Naw, just came in the mail.

Just got AkibaRed from Mandarake with the First Release Bonus Stages for 1000 Yen. Hells Yeah.

Now to decide if I want the Season 1 or Season 2 Yellow and Blue... I can't find any full information on them. Do all the newer ones come with Z-Cune in both gun and figure mode, or just the upgraded AkibaRed?

nothing to worry about man we were all just messing around with ya

man RyuuRanger looks really strange in the clear pics, guess its cause hes just a early
prototype

Hurricanered looks fantastic though, he better come with his umbrella

Yeah and he better come with everything. The Daibuster, Star Saber, DaiRod, DaiRinken, Star Cutter, and his double Dragon Swords.

And when they get to KirinRanger, he needs to include hands for the drunken master style.

BTW, I keep going ZyuRanger, DaiRanger, Hurricanger. Wait, WRONG NINJA SERIES!!!

Ugh...my Genocider got delayed...again. This looks to be one of my most troublesome purchases yet. I'm not sure what the issue is. The size? I've received larger items before.

Anyway, if it delays any further I might be able to get it along with Ryuga by the end of the month. And Odin somewhere next month? Damn its a heavy few months....But the end of the road approaches.

They need to come with that blanket they use in the rollcalls too…curious to see how Bandai'll do that piece.

Considering the only attempt at the iconic Shinkenger flags were those fold out cardboard things that came with the FR bonuses, I sadly think its doubtful we'll get much to represent them...

It would be nice. Then again, you van probably and fairly easily just buy some red cloth, cut out the amount you need, and you got yourself the cloth.

Wouldn't have the Hurricanger logo.:p

Better learn to sew then :lol

would be kind of cool if the ZyuRanger's weapons do combine

I wouldn't count on the Star Cutter and the Dragon Things, since they were barely used(Dragon Swords were used once, I don't think anyone ever used the Star Cutter by itself).

If I recall, the blankets had their personal hawk/dolphin/lion logo, not the shuriken H logo.

I dunno. That's require the weapons to have pegs and clips.
I'd prefer one of them to just include the weapons combined as it's own accessory.

So today I got home from work and in my mail I found....my credit card bill!

Oh yeah, also some Wizard Strike Robe thingy from Bluefin.

Agreed.

Also got my Strike Robe from Bluefin.

Kinda wanna reply to customer service thanking them.

Add me the people getting their Strike Robes in the mail

Me too.

Same here, I sent a tweet out thanking them. Hopefully whoever runs it passes it on the those who helped out.

I'm still waiting for even an email reply for the strike robes. I sent them an email with my mailing address, the picture of the box, and have not gotten jack **** from them. Then again, they still haven't let me know if they got me a replacement hand for Black Beard yet either.

^did you make sure to send them an invoice as well?

Anyways, funny enough I actually still prefer the "dynamic" robe that Wizard came with to the default and the strike wizard. It just looks best and works in so many different poses. The default robe isn't bad, just kinda poofy and of course is best in generic standing poses. The strike wizard robe only really works with the kick strike pose, and his dynamic robe works fine with that too. Still glad I finally got the thing as my figure didn't feel complete without the bonus, but I do wish we got like..some effect parts or something instead.

But then they wouldn't be able to overcharge us for effect part sets....xD

Yeah I like that robe over the first production bonus as well.

Has anyone ever tried shaving down either the peg or the hole for the vicegrip/hand on a Tamashii Stage? Really sick of seeing cracks show up on these even when I don't move them and just plug them in.

No, they never emailed me back to tell me they needed it. I sent them a picture of the box and said I got it from Amazon and if they need me to send them an invoice, let me know.

Anyway, I'm sure you saw my pics of what I got yesterday.

1. Is it just mine, or does Accel's wrist joints pop out of his arms all of the time? It just seems like the plastic is not hard enough to keep the joints in, so I have to really crunch down on them to keep the peg pieces in the arms when I go to switch hands. Also, I know this was already said, but even in person he looks more orange than red.

2. As for Water Style, he is cool, but suffers from the same issues as Flame Style. The henshin driver falls off of the regular belt (I have a feeling it is just a design issue with the mold because the portion the driver attaches to seems to have some weird looking thing on both of them). However, his joints are much tighter than Flame Style even though his left leg likes to pop out of the joint every now and then. Oh, and his waist also does not snap on tight enough either.

Over time the hip connection on my Flame Style seems to have improved significantly. The driver falls off a bit less now too.

That said, I cannot get the strike robe on him worth a shit. It attaches on the left side just fine, but the right side just will not go on properly.

You need to fiddle around with it. It needs a bit of force to fit properly. The rubber I guess contracted a bit. You have to stretch it. But be careful with it.

I have yet to see any cracks on any of my stages.

Its annoying, but I've never tried to shave those down. They eventually became loose on my Act 5s. I figured I could just glue them together or maybe use some clear nail polish.

You must be lucky and get some with pretty good tolerances then. From what I understand they'll stress easily if the fit is even a slight bit off. I think the pose you have the figure in may also be a factor, one of mine had a ton of stress marks show up after I had Wizard posed doing his kick strike for a few days :/ I'm also using a spare stage I have to test if just having it pegged in will cause stress or not. I really just wish Bandai would make some solid plastic stages though.
