DELETED for off-topicness

Again, why do you insist on complaining about Bluefin when they're making our jobs as collectors THAT much easier?:eyebrow

At the end of the day, they're just toys. And it's no reason you should be getting THIS worked up over.

On the bright side dr kain, at least you dont have to wait two weeks for sal. The wait is killing me!

Deleted for going off-topic

Well this thread is for the discussion of toys. So i think its about time you took your ludicrous shipping expectations and ridculous complaints to another part of the forum if you're gonna continue to complain. We dont need to listen to you complain with daily updates on why the world moves too slow for you.

I promise I'm not trying to come off as a jerk or kick a man while he is down. But I've seen that massive collection of yours. How in the blue hell do you afford it without a full time job?

Between my adult responsibilities , full time job and bills I barely have enough to collect 1 toy line. Let alone every major adult collector line.

All this shipping talk is getting booooring and a little ludicrous for my tastes.

Regardless, anyone see Gigabeetle's fix for the Showa Kamen Rider 1 mold?

Yeah, the shipping talk is a bit nuts. But I don't care because Ryuki is awesome.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

No. I'm actually drawing a blank as to what might specifically be wrong with it...

Me too. It's a pretty nice figure in any iteration.

There was something about the a piece of plastic, covering the shoulder-joint, being put in backwards. So if you swap it, the arms get full clearance... just wanted to see if anyone else did it.

That sounds fantastic. Worth looking into and maybe I'll pester him about it a bit later to get the details. I'm sure he won't mind sharing.

Don't own a Rider 1 any longer to try myself, but I will probably pick up one of the three a bit later, so it could be useful then.

My Warz Gil shipped out today so that means I currently have 6 Figuarts en route to me. That is definitely a new record for me :D

Lucky. I ended up not having enough funds to make my June exclusives order. Would've had a pretty hefty price tag. Warz Gil, Cyclone, and Metalgarurumon.

Did we ever get confirmation on if Warz Gill actually comes with anything either then hands? I love him, best villain ever, but I'm not sure if I want to pay that much for someone with no accessories.

I've seen some pics of him already and he really doesn't come with anything else.

Have you got a link? I've been trying to find some pics and have only seen the box so far.

Which is interestingly not a window box.

Oh yeah... That didn't even register at first. That's rather strange.

Thanks!

Pity about the accessory count (but then I'm drawing blanks at what he'd come with besides things for other figures) but he looks great. Can't imagine those tassles will be staying on very long though :lol

A TISSUE BOX! I loved that episode.

Or at least the trigger for firing the lasers or something, he even has a small amount of hands, poor effort, Bandai. I love Walz Gil but I'll probably wait until I'm in a Figuarts drought (if that ever happens with all the awesome stuff that keeps coming) before getting him. Basco was amazing accessory-wise, but this is a disappointment and accessories really matter to me, especially considering Walz Gill only came face-to-face with the Gokaigers once or twice and never with Basco, it'll be hard to display him with them.

I'd rather them have done alternate tassles that actually look like tassles affected by gravity than random things he rarely used in the show that I probably wouldn't use. But that's just me. I agree about the hands though.

The thing with Basco is that all the stuff he came with he used on a regular basis, so omitting anything like that would have been annoying.

Looks like Warz accessory count is almost as weak as Nick and Gorisaki were, but to be fair he wouldn't really come with anything unless they'd tossed in a Figuarts Zero Barizorg. Oh well. Still a nice looking figure. One that I forgot I'd ordered until my good old middleman reminded of it :p

Considering almost all he did in the series was flap his arms around and go "ONORE!", the lack of accesorries is in characters for him.

Wow, that is disappointing. For web exclusives, they really need to start putting in an effort on the accessory count. At least give him a stand!

As discussed above he wouldn't really have any accessories.

Why should they put more effort in on web exclusives? They aren't any more expensive than standard ones to the people they're aimed at, so I don't see why they'd put more effort into limited run items that are gonna be more costly to produce.

Aren't they usually $10-20 more?

No, places like AmiAmi and HLJ just knock the price down from the RRP. Aside from some of the more extravagant ones the RRPs are pretty much the same.

That is why I said they could have given him a stand.

Because the dude comes with three different hands. Standard Figuarts tend to come with at least 6 sets of hands and a few weapons or something. As I said, they could have given Warz a stand and maybe some alternate tassels since I am not going to be posing him just standing there with his arms down.

I didn't know that, that's pretty good. It's a huge change to how much American Hasbro and Bandai exclusives bump prices just for the word "exclusive".

Not really but alot of people like to exaggerate their prices. Sometimes they're more but more often than not they may only be 1000 yen more. Just look at Pterra Ranger vs Tyranno and Dragon. I think she's only a couple hundred yen more at most.

Yeah, which is why I imagine a lot of stuff is made web exclusive. To the Japanese audience they probably aren't paying that much more so don't mind it.

Concerning Walz Gil, what happened to these tassels?

Maybe his tassels are bendable? Okay, probably not, but it would be nice.

I do actually think he looks more bad ass without them though.

Looks like the Basco box.

How many other hands would Gils even come with. The only gestures I ever remembered him doing were points, firsts and splayed hands, which he comes with. He never used any weapons either so basically he comes with what he needs.

As for the tassel change, I bet it was due to fragility. The neutral ones were probably more durable than the kinetic-looking ones.

Crap! I just broke a piece off one of Iron Man's back panels, when trying to pull it off. :(
For those that hadn't yet figured it out, don't pull on the bottom of the back panels, pry on the top where it's connected.

Dragon Ranger(s) arrived today!

He's beautiful, really is, definitely captures the shape and emotion of Burai, but I do have one complaint: Getting him in a decent pose playing the Zyusouken is extremely difficult. You cannot get him in as perfect pose as on the front of the box because his right arm and hand can't bend that far. That bothers me quite a bit.

Meh, I'm pretty used to that now. If they show their arms posed in a certain way on the box, they usually don't bend like that. It is the same for V3 and Ichigo.

As for a decent pose playing the Zyusouken, turn his head. His right hand won't be able to fully touch the flute's keys, but you can get it close enough where it creates the illusion of doing so. Here is my pic?
