It's only been a couple years, but I'd really like to see how they'd approach a Shinkocchou Wizard. Especially how they'd figure out a good solution for the coat. It'd certainly be interesting.

Still no shipping notification. Hopefully it'll ship out by tonight or tomorrow.

Mine shipped out on the 20th too.

I would buy it, I'm one of the rare species who actually enjoyed Wizard to an extent, having a premium figure to get over the crappy SHF one would be cool.

But he's too recent, and even for a bad figure at least his sculpt is somewhat good, there are much more screwed up figures who need attention first, like Double. Or you know, figures we never even had, Kiva for example.

Definitely a yes for Wizard, but I think I can wait a few years for that one.

Has anyone order from JC Collectibles before? I notice they have some good prices on Figuarts and Chase is still up for pre-order on that site if anyone missed the pre-orders on Ami Ami or NY.

Mine's been processing at NY since Thursday. Hoping for a shipping notice tomorrow.

I like the Wizard Figuarts more than others, but I'd be up for a fancy renewal down the road if they articulated the skirt like how the SICs have bee done.

(Even with that, yeah it's a much lower priority after stuff like renewal Kabuto Riders, Hibiki Riders, renewal Diend, renewal Ws, renewal OOOs, etc.).

I would love a renewal Wizard, but the current wizard isn't so bad provided you don't pose him standing still or in his piece of shit normal coat skirt. I mostly use the bonus kickstrike skirt that came as a preorder bonus because it just looks so much better being all dynamic than the default one which just makes him look chubby.

I'm just waiting for Kiva dammit, my old souchaku henshin kiva's metal parts have flaked so badly that it's just sad to look at :(

Also my black beet hasn't shipped yet either which I'm surprised since it's also bundled with the dragon lockseed which I'm pretty sure came out earlier, hope NY get on that soon, it's all SAL so it'll take a while to get to me.

Flame Style looks faithful to the show but he suffers from major QC issues. He's my least favorite figuart in my collection. If they can reissue him by fixing all of the QC issues or renewal him then I will buy it for sure. Flame Dragon and Infinity Style are already solid figures. No need to renewal those two in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm still waiting on N-Y to ship that Lock Seed and the Decade card set. At least they got my Black Beet in the mail.

Edit: Tridoron, Heart, and Cruiser (and the Cruiser/X two-pack) are up at N-Y.
