Managed to grab a kuuga for a reasonable price off eBay this morning. £44.99 free shipping. Not bad considering what's going on with it right now

Holy shit that Nippon Yassan Price, I don't even understand what is up with that?!!

You answered the question yourself, it's Nippon Yasan. It's nothing new that they always have some stock after release and raise the price to ridiculous amounts.

Meanwhile I continue to wait for Black Beet to show up.

Kuuga!

This guy is surprisingly pretty damn tall. Not tall enough to make you feel weird about putting him with other Riders but still a noticeable bit. He's even taller than newer guys like Gaim. Not sure how accurate it is in respect to Godai or the suit actor (IIRC, Kuuga had a different suit actor from most of the other Heisei series) but it doesn't necessarily bother me.

One thing I was interested in that doesn't necessarily relate to this figure itself is how Agito would look next to the other Agito riders. Being that the upcoming Agito and this figure are so similar aesthetically, I kinda wanted to test how he'd look next to older figuarts like G3-X and Another Agito.

He makes them look pretty old lol.

And a final size comparison with a Marvel Legends, which, funny enough, Kuuga seems to fit in quite well with.

Overall, I really love this figure. Bandai continues to knock these Shinkocchou Seihou figures out of the park. Bring on Agito!

EDIT: It's come to my attention that the right bracelet isn't facing the right way :lol

Another Agito doesn't look too bad next to him. G3X though does seem a bit slimmer. Then again he kinda was to begin with since he isn't as big sculpt wise as the actual suit. Still, he is a kick ass figure.

Can't wait to get Kuuga somewhere down the line.

He looks great, and yes he is taller. Weird.

Can you rotate the bracelets though? If not... ugh.

You can. That was just me rushing through my pictures before heading to class lol

Yeah. He's not nearly the difference between, say, Kabuto and his older counterpart, but they do look a bit aged. I think if you get them posed together nicely, however, it'd work.

Thank god, last minute nitpick averted! :D

Oh, that looks beautiful, I cannot wait for mine to arrive. Why is EMS being so slow??! D:

Just re-checked tracking for the second time today, and it's in my state capital now, so I expect it to arrive tomorrow. Yay!
