So... I guess I'm the only one who noticed that they "fixed" Ryugen Yomi, at least in the official pics. The purple lockseed is gone, nice.

Well, I've averaged about an order a month since last July, so I don't know how much goodwill that'll earn me.

I can understand it, but it's still a frustrating practice nonetheless. Some kind of doomsday counter or something would be nice.

No offense, but there is no guarantee they are going to sell it. I freely admit they likely will, but until they do it ties up operating capital. It may not seem like much, but added up over all the customers they have, it can hurt their business. Most businesses have policies like these for a reason. It isn't because they're out to 'get you' or any other such nonsense.

Does anybody know when Kuuga and Drive come out this month?

April 18th and 25th respectively.

Thanks! I'm so excited, especially for Kuuga.

I'm really enjoying the Shinken Red I bought from XW1n5t0nX. The Firesmasher, I can't remember the Japanese name, is much lighter than I thought it'd be. But then I guess it almost has to be so the figure can hold it and not fall over. And I love the details of having the Lion Origami's legs move.

Shinkenred is a great figure, I really like the shinkengers in general, aside from a few minor gripes like my shinkenyellow having a cracked visor which sucks major balls. (It's fine from far away but the moment you get in all close up it's just crack central. ) They're overall nicely done.

Speaking of sentai figuarts, I opened up my newly acquired MMPRzyu pink ranger and my god the female sculpt is amazing, all the contours are nicely done and stuff like her skirt sculpt is amazingly done and doesn't limit that much, in fact the MMPR body is amazing especialy with how the shoulder joints are done. Which is why I find it weird that when it came to Kyoryugers whose shoulders were a huge pain in the butt in comparison and they came out well after the zyu figures.

Actually do we know anything about the designers behind figuarts? It always seems important in other fandoms like with transformers or figma figures but when it comes to figuarts I haven't heard anything about them.

I wonder if this means a Sigurd announcement is around the corner...
