Do they hold up well? LIke, am I going to be able to display a rider doing a kick or is it not strong enough to keep a pose like that?

Each of the joints on a tamashii stage have a screw that you manually tighten as much as you like to hold those heavier poses like that. But they do work perfectly for it

Just don't over-tighten it, those clear plastic will crack

Redid my Red Medals by painting the indents black then respraying with the clear red over it

He is pretty cool, but I have to say I like Black more. This guy just feels way too fragile to the point that I do not think I am going to display him out of the box. Everything from his antennae to his hands, to the hips, the falling off knee caps, and finally, the hard plastic hopper spurrs really hurt my wanting to touch him. I was making sure I moved every piece in slow motion when I took these pictures because I did not want something breaking off him. Even the peg pieces that you stick into the hands feel fragile. I am happy to have him though and am now debating on who will be my next Rider. Maybe I'll try to hunt down either 555 or Kabuto since they do not seem to sell as high as others do.

Faiz is OK, but not the most stand out...I would go for Kabuto and/or Kickhopper.

I would love to get the Hoppers to be displayed as Shadow Moon's guards, but when I looked at them online, Kick was like $55 and Punch was $100.

And that's after the fairly recent reissues. The Hoppers can get crazy expensive.

Eh, Kick Hopper was all over Mandarake last week or two for 2500 yen. I ordered one, but not having made it that far in the series, I don't know if I'll keep it. Guess I should keep watching Kabuto.

more of course on my site :D

kickhopper is easy to get, mine cost $35 a while back this year, punch hopper, forget about it, he's almost impossible to find

So they reissue Figuarts? Does this mean if I wait I will be able to get older figures? Like W, Ichigo, and Decade? I would love to at least have all of the main riders in the long run.

If you decide you don't want it, I will take it off your hands. To be honest, the Hoppers are the best thing about Kabuto.

Why is Punch Hopper hard to find?

Kain...you get that thing I sent ya?

Yeah I did. I'll look at them later. Right now, I saw a Kuuga on ebay for $36 shipped, and he was a US seller. When I have money to buy one again, I think I am going to go for that one. There was another guy that had Kabuto for $41 shipped as well though.

Argh, I wish I had money to just splurge on this line, because now I love it. Of course, I also need to get figure stands and get something to actually display them in, because I really do not want figures this pricey or fragile to be displayed on any normal shelf in the long run.

It would mean that if they hadn't already reissued each of those guys several times. Im not sure more reissues are down the line for the ones you mentioned. Aside from Ichigo possibly. Both W and Decade were reissued several times.

Then why is W so damn expensive?

A lot of people like the series. I recommend just hunting one on mandarake, it shouldn't be too hard.

Last one I saw on Mandarake was 5000 yen I think. I'm still missing Cyclone Joker, too. :(

a face plate and a set of hands???

Agito not happy about accessory count...

I was trying not to be vangelis

And I just bought one (along with Kuuga)...

I should have gone for Kabuto.

you read my review? He's not bad...just not the strongest of the line

Agreed. He's a good figure with the nice old style hips that I've always preferred. The accessory count is just absurdly low that's all. He could have at least come with a kick effect part or something.

All you need to do is buy Agito Flame and Storm Forms, as well as Trinity Form, and you could have a plethora of hands. Wouldn't cost you that much........ :D

Or just Trinity form. Cause really, what other hands does Agito need?

I think the Machine Tornador comes with gripping hands. So all you'd need is that and Trinity form for the relaxed pose hands. You could get the gripping hands with Storm and Flame, but those were really limited run and a lot harder to get a hold of than Trinity or the Tornador.

Actually all one needs is Black. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/KRAgito6.jpg

Those hands are perfect.

Kamen Rider Faiz by MKZ123, on Flickr

Starscreamer you should try changing the white balance on your camera so it eliminates the yellow background.

Work in progress I assure lol. The last one was an older picture right after I made my light box.

That looks pretty cool, but something looks off on his hands.

Evidently, the tips of his fingers are supposed to be silver.
