Paid for my Juzo from Mandrake now, a little more expensive than I predicted but literally by less than a fiver so there is nothing really in it.

Just got my Dragon Ranger shipped! Now I play the SAL waiting game...

Just payed off my box of of tamashii products 3 figuarts that are 2 sentai and one rider and one Darts

Pity about the screwhole, but looks like it can technically come off (pic from 2chan)

I guess Dragon Shield Red is no longer needed then.

Hey guys :)

Any tips on finding or is anyone selling a Gokai Red Figuarts? Used is fine also.

Thanks

Mandarake has one with the Darin for 5000 yen.

Except... the screw hole kind of makes it obvious that there is some sort of ridge inside the shield. Regular Tyranno Ranger has a smooth back, so he still wouldn't be able to wear it. And of course there's the arm bands.

That screw hole isn't very deep and I'm assuming that isn't the soul thing that holds it in place, but even still you could always just cut the groove off, I assume you won't be posing either of them upside down...

But yeah I guess the arm bands are a problem, but I'm still not sure I'd buy Dragon Shield Red...for arm bands, if I can use Green Rangers Shield anyway.

I guess the question is whether your want 1 Dragon shield between 2 rangers with a poor connection or 2 Dragon shields that both that fit well for more money.

I just don't think Dragon Shield Red was worth the money minus for a novelty and now I especially don't think he is.

Definitely the latter.

It's still another figure. And really, the main purpose I'd use it for is a Captain Marvelous substitute.

I guess if you've got the money to blow!

Although it does look a tad weird with not having the shield on, but having the armbands on.

At first I thought a Figuart that just represents 3/4 Zyuranger scenes and 1 Gokaiger scene was a bit of a waste of money, but it's quickly grown on me. Geki having the Dragon Shield and Dragon Caesar handed down to him was a very memorable and emotional moment of Zyuranger and while Geki only used the Dragon Shield twice after Burai's death having Geki adopt his brother's equipment and powers was still a pretty important part of the story and is worthy of a Figuart. I love Super and Hyper Shinken Red, I'm sure I'll love Dragon Shield Tyrannoranger and I'm actually getting excited for it, even though it doesn't come with awesome unique accessories like the Bull Bazooka and Kyoryumaru. Not only that, if I have it I don't have that feeling that I'm missing out and my OCD can be calm.

Now I need Super Akiba Red! I love how Akibaranger Season Two's handling the whole self-awareness thing, its really fun, compared to how much Season One sucked after they introduced it. It makes me want to buy the Season Two Figuarts, even though I wasn't going to because I prefer the Season One suits and already own them!

Got my shopping notice for Juzo this morning, yay!

you where going to skip season figuarts even when they come with this season offical member powers

That is the only reason I'll get the AkibaRangers, but I won't be getting them for quite some time.

Well Im excited CS Toys sent me invoice for my Kiba Ranger preorder so Ill get him whenever hes released :D

Oh boy, my Dragon Ranger will probably be arriving tomorrow as he is in customs right now. SWEET!!!!

Cant decide whether to ship my dragon ranger, super akiba red and rider beast from HLJ or hold it till more figures release. Way too muçh stuff out this next month. I totally get the red with dragon shield, but i just cant justify having duplicates, its why i just cant pull the trigger on regular or hyper shinken red when i have super form.

I want Kamen Rider W Cyclone/Joker rerelease. But I'm not sure if I should. Someone talk me into it!

to you like being half boild anf like kamen rider double then the rerealses of kamen rider cyclone joker S.H figuarts is right for you going down to hang on i talk you in to it with my review on it

Cyclone Joker is almost a prerequisite figuarts figure at this point. An excellent example of the line's strengths. It was one of my first figuarts purchases and it really helped form my positive opinion of the line.

Hand swapping is an absolute nightmare, but other than that he's a pretty solid figure. Doesn't come with much, but then the base form doesn't really have much TO come with.

Quick question for anybody who has used Sentai Tamashii's middle man service. How much does shipping typically run on 2 figures? I just got my invoice for Axe form and Pheonix and this is my first time doing this. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

I want a FangJoker re-release. :(

Okay!

How much of a nightmare? Like.. Is there a good chance I'll be swapping hands and snap one off?

Your type made me chuckle :lol (Coming from the man who makes more typos than he can count) So far I'm thinking I'll buy one.

I said the figuart, I already love the Rider :lol

Sentai, the figuart and the rider is the same thing! :lol

Shotaro doesn't have interchangable hands. I'd have remembered that in the show.

It's as if the hole is too small for the peg to insert into. The amount of pressure you exert feels almost excessive, but being careful definitely is a must.

I didn't even notice that typo. Honestly though , positive onions are better than negative ones.

Then what are you waiting for? Get to stepping on that purchase.

Right now the hand thing.

Good looking out on the typo

Make them as much as I do and you get a typo Spider-Sense :lol

I guess I'm the only one who hasn't had an issue swapping hands on my W.

Fine Fine :lol
