Yeah, again: the fact that Kiwami didn't really use a unique weapon of his own was kind of a problem.

I got Black RX renewal and Riderman in the mail today since I got a $50 Amazon gift card for Christmas and decided to buy them before they go up in prices in the after market. Riderman is a really good figure but it took me a while to figure on how to put the hook on his left arm.

Black RX is pretty solid but I notice his legs feel kinda tight. Maybe it's just mine, but I wish I can move his left and right legs better. It reminds me how my Amazon SHF has a similar issue on his left leg. I'm still very happy with both of them.

I did a thing, in other words, I reviewed an S.H Figuarts & the review didn't suck or look like a roller coaster :lol.

Congradulations. :lolol:thumb:

IMO they should have released the Kagematsu Shin with Kiwami and scrapped Kurokage Shin entirely. Are there really people who want to buy a web-exclusive figure that appeared one time in a movie as a background character and is basically Kurokage with a Genesis Driver? His weapon is the only thing unique about him, not even as a collector I would want this figure. And I somehow doubt it will be released anyways, maybe as some kind of event exclusive.

And seeing how frequently Kiwami Gaim used the weapon and no one in the show except him had it, I would consider it his unique weapon.

Um, I do. One-time use or not, which is no different from other movie riders, he's still a separate character from Hase's Kurokage or the Kurokage troopers. On top of that with Knuckle coming out at some point, that would give us all of Team Baron in rider form.

So yeah, I'd buy Kurokage Shin.

Yeah I guess I shouldn’t be so ignorant, of course some people want the figure, it's just I personally don't have any interest in it at all, but the weapon is nice.

So it would've been nice if they included the Kagematsu Shin with Kiwami, just so I don't get tempted to snag one just for the weapon.

The Kagematsu Shin is a yari, which is one of my favorite polearms of all time - you can thank Shin/Cye from Yoroiden Samurai Troopers/Ronin Warriors for that - so my collection is not complete without it.

Also, you can never, ever have enough Kurokage. Ever. At all.





Ever.

Actually, I'm in full agreement with you. I don't even know what Kurogake Shin is, but I personally can not justify buying a movie rider Figuart any more. They were on screen for maybe 15-20 minutes total, have little to no development, and tend to be lack luster characters. I'm not going to spend $40+ on a toy for someone that was barely there.

Well that depends for me personally, I'll definitely buy Mars and Kamuro, because I love the designs and they play big parts in the movie. The problem for me isn’t that Kurokage Shin only appears for a few minutes in the movie or even the character behind it, it's that the armor is exactly the same as the standard Kurokage. It's the same exact deal, only that this one has a Genesis Driver strapped around his body and that the weapon is different.

I personally cant bring myself to buy a Malibu Stacy with a new hat, especially if I already own the original Malibu Stacy.
