Banana arms rides the Rose Attacker. Mango stands alone. Easy


Is anyone having trouble using ACT4 stands on the SHF Iron Man figures? They're all too heavy to use in flying poses with those stands

Just tighten the little screws on the stage arms and they'll work fine. I use Act 4 for basically everything and once you tighten them a bit they can hold just about any figure.

Secondary riders don't get reissues very frequently, I wouldn't count on that happening. I also think it would be very strange to reissue one of the really old Figuarts, like ultimate Kuuga, at around the same time as a brand new Kuuga renewal. Even as good as Ultimate Kuuga was, it's noticeably more dated looking than newer releases.

That's too bad since I would like to get Baron without paying for super high after market prices for him :(. I always thought Ultimate Kuuga still looks like a solid figure now. I remember he came out in 2011, most figuarts around that time still look good today in my opinion (Like Shin Ichigo for example).

Did Baron start spiking? The last couple I saw on Mandarake seemed about the same price.

He's $81 on NY and I remember seeing him being pretty high on Mandarke around a month ago. Since he's a very popular character, I would imagine Tamashii Nations would consider reissuing him due to popular demand.

Ahh finally paid off for blue beet and jungler, hoh man I'm starting to not like NY's way of payment, since the deadline always comes in just when I get paid so I get really paranoid that I won't be able to pay for it in time.

NY is no real indicator for the market, they jack the prices up high because they can. I remember how much Melon Energy got up the day it was released.

I've seen some Barons for a reasonable price not too long ago on Mandarake, Gaim too. They are popular, but not that hard to find.

And he's popular alright, but I personally won't reissue a figure that isn’t one year old and that still gets updates in form of Mango.

Looking over the checklist, it occurs to me that it's been a relatively long while since a Gaim Figuarts has been solicited. It seems Fourze and Wizard Figuarts slacked off considerably after their shows ended. I wonder if all the Gaim Figuarts goodness Bandai showed late last year will end up being a tease.

(I'm still smarting over Bouken Pink and Yellow, Gekitouja, Rio and Melee, the second Mazinger Z weapons set, etc.)

I doubt it. It's more like Bandai are running out of new "main" Riders (I say this before someone instantly replies with "x movie Rider" etc.) to release and they want to release all their big sellers over a longer period of time rather than all at once.

It took like 3 years to get all the Ryuki Riders released.
