Not doing Gaim and Zangetsu's eyes?

That Chalice is loooovely, holy wow; might have to look into getting him at some point. Does the box come with two Riotroopers or did you pick up an extra?

That Garren placement!

Hadn't stickered yet when I took the picture.

There's two different assortments. Both have 2 Chalices and 2 Garrens. Assortment 1, which seems the more common, has 2 Rio Troopers, 2 G4s, 1 Worm, and 1 Dark Kabuto. Assortment 2 has 1 Rio Trooper, 1 G4, 2 Worms, and 2 Dark Kabutos. The Rio Trooper is nice, but I would've rather had 2 Worms (I like the extra G4 though).

:D

Strange to me that they didn't just do 2 Worms and 2 Riotroopers in the same case (and probably move the remaining dupe to one of those). Oh well, nice to hear either way!

Might seem a strange place to put this since this thread is mostly about figures, but I figured it was the best place since it is still a candy toy and was even featured in the last blog:

Basically, mini Rider belts. It's a line that apparently had a couple waves in 2016 but promptly disappeared after that, and they've just released a third one out of nowhere now consisting of the ones above. Like SO-DO, they're all normal retail and about 500 yen a box!

It just seems a really nice display option, and these new ones even have a couple gimmicks involved -- the Zero-One Driver in particular is VERY impressive!

They're also using a lot of clear parts similar to other recent candy toy lines and they're a very fun display for putting next to figures. Hoping they make more waves of this; I'm already interested in picking up Saber, Gaim and Zero-One's!

Yeah, I saw a video of those on a candy toy channel. Only disappointment is that the Swordriver doesn't have any functionality. You just remove the hilt, the rest of the sword is permanently inserted

I have some old gashapon Rider Devices that look to be almost the same size (maybe smaller), but I love that these have a little display stand.

I need to track down the Kabuto ones. They look like the size of actual beetles!

It's not just that; the entire inside of the Swordriver is hollow. It was a disappointment - and pretty cheeky of the blog to go 'you can store small things inside!' - but when the 01 and Sengoku Drivers are that good it mitigates it a little for me.

I remember seeing these pop up on BBTS, but they were way too much for me to justify if I recall.

If they start doing riders they missed, though, I might have to cave at some point.

Yeah, I saw BBTS' price and just about flipped. None of these are Premium Bandai so I don't know what the fuck they're doing at 100$
