I'll eventually buy the B-Fighters when I can get them all on Mandarake at the same time.

Nice! Mine just entered customs, should be in-hand next week.

He looks great alright, but after fiddling around with Blue Beet back in January I'm not really disappointed on missing out on further incarnations of the mold.

I kind of feel you. I'm in for all of them because of completion, but man Blue Beet is just designed so poorly that I can't get excited to own the mold 3 more times.

quick question for you all! lol so i can either get kamen rider ichigo with bike pack for 50 or kamen rider ooo tatoba for 33.98. what would you guys get and why?
so indecisive right now!

Ichigo with Bike. Purely because $34 for TaToBa is just a tad high. I'm not super up to date at what the market value for Ichigo w/ Bike is, but $50 sounds like a good deal either way.

I'd rather do the two-pack too. Feels like more bang for the buck that way.

Also Ichigou is a much higher quality figure.

I hope some of the QC issues would be fix with Black Beet and the last two B-Fighters. Blue Beet was a great figure in my opinion. The only flaw that I had with him is that he can't stand up probably. I had to make sure that he would stand up straight without falling down. If one figure falls down in my collection then they all fall down like dominoes.

It's not QC issues I'm worried about, since mine isn’t showing any, it's the overall design and sculpt which hinders articulation, especially in the hips, legs and feet. And that's something you can't really fix, especially not with Black Beet and G-Stag which are almost exactly the same from the waist downwards with some different sculpted details. Reedle is a little bit different since she's smaller, but honestly that looks like it could turn out even worse.

They are not bad figures, sculpt is amazing and my Blue Beet is painted very well, but if I love something about these figures it's the articulation, so a mold that is lacking it isn’t making me excited for remolds of it which will most likely carry the same hindered articulation.

You can still get a lot of good poses out of Blue Beet, but this was the first figure where I really felt hindered in some poses do to the design, and that kinda sealed the deal for me on not getting the rest of them, as beautiful as they may look.

And I too know the Domino-effect, my figures are displayed in groups so if one falls it is guaranteed to knock something else over as well. In retrospect, as a Gaim-fanatic I should know that displaying Ryugen behind Gaim isn’t very smart. The grape is waiting to strike. I hope once I get Ryugen Yomi to impersonate the evilness inside him he will stop being a sour grape and leave Orange Arms alone. Kiwami-Gaim can take a beating from Ryugen Yomi for his lack of awesomeness, but Orange Arms deserves better.
