I haven't had any issues with my stands either.

However, I'm still trying to figure out what the crane looking claw is supposed to be for.

I'm just worried about breaking the pegs on the lower half of Haruto's torso.

I've had a couple of cracks in the claws for some of my Act 4s. Literally like 2 out of 20 or so.

I think the only reason why I get those cracks on my stands is from the constant rotation I do when posing my figures.

I like that they are stiffer to move, but they're not good for much when it comes to most figures. They're best for holding onto an arm, leg, or weapon, just not most waists.

If stands break from usage/rotating poses then in my opinion it's a bad stand. I wish I knew of an alternative stand I could buy on it's own, the Gutto Kuru and Riobot stands look nice but I don't think they're sold individually.

Trident stand for the win man...you have no idea

An arm or leg? They can't hold the weight of the figure though by just the leg.

Think using multiple arms for a larger figure...like an sic

I guess that makes sense. I just wished the stands would come with at least 6 sets of claws as I can attach 2 figures on one stand if I really want to (which in the case of Sentai teams, I do).

Of course, I also think that if it is a Tamashii Web exclusive, it should already come with its own stand. I really like the character specific logos and stuff like they did for Black, the AkibaRangers, Wizard, etc.

Oh I do, I've got one and love it but it's currently occupied by some SRC's. Can't wait for the solid white one to come out though, I've got one on preorder and if the arm/vicegrip parts are sturdy enough I can see myself ordering 2 more.

Well Act 4 and 5 do come with 2 sets of 3 claws, but only with Act 4 are you able to use all 6 claws at once. Reason being, Act 4 comes with 3 clips that can attach to the rod/arm, but those clips only work with the thicker/shorter claws.

I need to get one of those white/clear trident stands. Anyone who has one (not the one that came with that SRC) know how many arms and claws they come with?

They havent been released yet as far as I know. Should be out this month though.

S.H. Figuarts Red Hawk Review!

The short version. He's pretty awesome.

Moved the Sailor Moon talk to the Non-Toku SHF thread. Feel free to keep it going there.

Cannot wait for retail Trident Stages to be out in the world.

Just scored my first Ryuki rider for an AMAZING price. Ouja for £19 from a UK seller :D

Can't wait for him to arrive, I've heard nothing but good things about the Ryuki riders and its one rabbit hole I'm more than happy to dive down.

Well between the groups I wanna get/complete, I have decided on this order:

Gokaigers
GokaiRed
GokaiBlue
GokaiYellow
GokaiGreen
GokaiPink (Already Have)
GokaiSilver (Already Have)
Basco

Kamen Rider OOO
TaToBa (Already Have)
GataKiriBa
RaToraTah
SaGoZo
TaJaDor
ShaUTa
PuToTyra
BuraKaWani
Super TaToBa
Uva
Kazari
Gamel
Mezool
Kyoryu Greeed
Eiji Greeed
Ankh Complete

Akibarangers
AkibaRed
AkibaBlue (Wanna try to get S1)
AkibaYellow (Wanna try to get S1)

And then there's the Zyurangers/MMPR...and Kiba Ranger... I mean with Den-O's help, I might be able to get one or two of these figures on my list next month, and PkmnMstr is gonna help with another in June... I got my work cut out for me :lol

Good luck with the Greeed. I decided against them because getting them all would be far too expensive. The only one on my want list is Uva because....well, you know why. And then I kinda want Eiji Greeed, but what I really want is that purple eyed Taka head.

Each one goes for about 4000-5000 yen on Mandarake, with the exception of Ankh Complete, who is barely there when I search. Same with GokaiRed. Appeared once in the many months I was searching, was there for 4500 with his Darin, got sold within the day I saw it :/. Hopefully Green or Yellow stay there next month, and Blue is up again.

There's another page to this thread that I can't go to. I know it's because the Sailor Moon posts that were moved. Still, though.
It's driving me crazy.

Anyway, the it wasn't until the Zodiarts Figuarts that I realized how much of a godsend getting all the Greeed were...

Ankh complete is up at Jungle for 5250, the lowest I've seen in a while: http://jungle-scs.co.jp/index_e.cgi?...tail&id=620540

You missed it then. Mandrake had all 6 Gokaigers in one set last week for 20000Y with the darins.

BTW, the Yen seems to be very close to being equal in value to the dollar. What I bought last week was 96Y for every $1 whereas a month ago it was like $1 equals 82Y.

As for the Greeeds, I'll get them eventually, but I want to first finish my riders than go after the Dopants, then Zodiarts, and then I'll work on the Greeeds.

I already had Pink and Silver, plus I can't withdraw money from my account until the end of the month (due to having to pay for stuff related to college, meals, etc.) Well, since I opened up a new account, it's possible, but not right now, since I just put money in. So, I can't drop more than 6000 Yen at a time during a school semester, unless I have like a couple bucks left over. The only exception was when Den-O helped me get Pink- I had left over Bday/Christmas Cash. I'm fine with having to space them out throughout the months if it's possible

So I watched Movie Taisen Mega Max and seriously...why haven't Poseidon and Aqua gotten Figuarts? They have really nice designs and Poseidon himself was actually pretty cool. Aqua was cool too, but just not as much.

You mean the Yen is close to being equal in value to the cent.

^This. And yes, I noticed. When I bought from amiami, the 900 yen converted to $9.50. So the value seems to be nearing what everyone is used to.

I concur. I'd buy the hell out of Poseidon.

Is it safe to still pre-order Zyured, Dragon ranger, and bouken blue and black from BBTS? How are they for shipping to Canada? They aren't like HLJ that take too many pre-orders right? Haha

Ahhhhhhhh!

(BBTS actually does have some issues when it comes to Japanese non-TF preorders, but it's a moot point in this case, all of those are Bluefin product and orders will be just fine.)

*sigh* if only I didn't have Ryuki preordered. I usually miss Tamashii Web exclusives, the only one I ever bought was Den-O Axe Form, and I made sure I got that as it's my favorite Den-O Form (June can't get here fast enough).

Well if more pop up I'll keep you informed.

Did I name him wrong? Lol. I'm not much of an expert when it comes to Super Sentai since Shinkenger was my first experience with it. Haha

It's Tyrannoranger :lol

I'd be wary of things like this through BBTS personally. I'd hate for peoples Zyuranger preorders to fall into the Gokai Red/Blue abyss. I know this is a different situation, but still, that whole ordeal is what turned me off to using BBTS.

Has PunchHopper ever been reissued?

I'm told KickHopper was in May 2011, it seems likely that PunchHopper would have been too, but I don't have any info on it.

I thought both Punch and Kick were reissued, but not at the same time.

Yes he was. I want to say it was before Kick Hopper got reissued.

Ah, that makes sense, I will try to remember that for next time. Haha. What happened with Gokai Red and Blue? Not sure where else is a good pace to pre-order, unless I wait for places like HLJ or Amiami to put them up but chances of catching them are probably slim.

God damn…this summer sounds like it's going to be way expensive. :cry

I wonder when this massive burst of Akibaranger-related things are going to go up for preorder? It seems odd that we still haven't seen windows for things supposedly being released in June.

I've got my fingers crossed it'll be the end of this week/beginning of next once the Zyus have appeared on Akibaranger.

punch hopper is hard as hell to get ahold of right now , kick hopper is everywhere

This. I have clean pants and I'm ready for the Akiba goodness to start.
