Shame you'd have to find something to fill in the rest of that 5000 or you'll get hit with 500. Hobby Search has Blue for 3150. No Navi, but at least you'd get a ton more accessories. Silver would also work. You can probably shoot a $38 offer on eBay.

Oh don't worry. I can ALWAYS fill out a Mandarake order :)

no idea if they know or not...it looks to be a case of the paint just not having enough "air time" to set fully. since its on a soft vinyl material it just stays tacky in the clam shell since there is no air escaping or coming in...its essentially zip locked for freshness inside.

the first time i tried removing mine it was stuck so bad i could not pull him from the tray. i had to warm the back of the tray behind him up so it would free itself without pulling at the coat in the process.

no paint damage seems to have happened doing this. im sure if i had just forced it i would have left some kinda of mark. you will know if you don't have fully set paint, the entire coat of the figure will leave a slimy feeling on your fingers =/

i had to leave mine out for a few days from packaging to remedy the issue to a point where it would no longer just re-stick itself when put back inside.

KR Black Pre-ordered

Where at? bbts?

I don't have a problem with that, usually, but I wanted to order the SRC Gokai-Oh from the Grand Chaos store two weeks ago, but he was the only thing in that shop I wanted and was only 2500Y. Then, when they finally got something else in the other day, he was gone. As such, I just ordered a Ratorah, Katakiriba, and Tajador OOO combos for 7000Y before shipping.

Anime Island...they have him and Shadow Moon and the bike up...

Has anyone heard anythign about if we'll get any further Iron Man Figuarts? I would really love to see the Mark 42 and Iron Patriot in that line.

I also need to get a junker gokaiger so i can fix the hip on mine, he's the only one i've had an issue with though and for now he still displays fine but can barely pose without his leg flopping around

I actually really wanted to get Battle Hopper but the more I watched of the series the most pointless the bike became, especially once Road Sector was introduced. I have my Black preorder down at least and maybe I'll get the bike on Mandrake but I don't think it's worth the forty quid or whatever it'll come to with shipping and handling.

Id' rather have Battle Hopper than Road Sector because Sector is completely pointless. Hopper fits with Black's organic theme. Sector does NOT!

But Battle Hopper barely got used. Road Sector overall was really dumb, but Battle Hopper was barely there in what I watched.

Have you finished Black yet?

Is it normal for Figuart joints to deteriorate over time? I just picked up GokaiRed for the first time in quite a while and it feels like his legs are about to fall off.

Oh boy, another GokaiRed issue. Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap. Hopefully my lasts long enough until Bluefin releases him.

I hope that's not a problem when I get around to getting GokaiRed. Out of my Gokai-guys, only Silver seems to have some problem with his legs, the swivel between the balljoint socket and his thigh is a little tight

The hip joints on my CycloneJoker, started out loose and 2 years later after being on display only, they basically refuse to stay on without some sort of joint strenghtening method.

Add the fact that GokaiRed is kinda problematic, so yeah... not neat.

Admittedly I'm only like a quarter of the way through but that doesn't change the fact that Battle Hopper was basically dropped from the series as soon as Road Sector appeared and pretty soon after Road Sector appeared neither bike seemed to show up any more. No wonder they rushed that weird bromance between Kotaro and Battle Hopper, poor thing is barely in the show.

If it suddenly gets used again ten episodes away from the end then great but that still wont make me want to pay the overpriced retail price for it.

TaToBa's has gotten kinda loose over the years.

Hey everyone, quick question: Does anybody know for sure which packaging (MMPR or Zyuranger) BBTS has for Green/Dragonranger and Red/Tyrannoranger?

Usually they do Bluefin's version if BF is releasing it.

I received the US domestic release from bbts

Review: Fourze Special Effects Parts and Module Set 04

One day I'm going to get the Elek/Fire effects set and Module 5.

I have the Elek/Fire effects set shipping out of Mandarake in the next day or two. :D

I've been going *slightly* crazy buying Super Sentai Figuarts. I bought Black Condor from a friend on Twitter, Red Hawk, Tyranno Ranger, and Dragon Ranger from Plamoya. I couldn't resist those prices. O-O

Yeah, it happens.
Go to a site to buy one toy, find something else you really wanted is half off for the next 24 hours. :lol

I've noticed that a lot of my recent FIguarts spending have all been Sentai based…can't remember what my last Rider figuarts was.

Oh yeah, I finally got my Cyclone/Joker Xtreme Figuart last week.
I actually bought it 3 years ago, but after a series of rather unfortunate events (I was in a car crash that broke both my legs, followed by my mother's death, followed by being forced to move to a new state), I never got it and just generally forgot about it. After visiting my brother for a week, he told me that he kept hold of it. Nice to have my Double Figuart collection finally finished.* (He didn't mail it to me because we weren't on speaking terms over the past two years because we both assumed the other hated us :lol)

*I don't own Cyclone/Accel Xtreme, Cyclone/Joker Gold Xtreme, Joker, Cyclone, Cyclone/Cyclone, Joker/Joker, or Fang/Joker, but I have the Double forms I've wanted that make me feel like I'm no longer missing something, so it's complete to me.

agrred my last Rider was Showa V3 and i got him Standing next to the next verstion.

Hey guys, AmiAmi has the new Rider preorders up-

Kamen Rider ZX

Kamen Rider Alternative Zero

Blue Spader

Well, they will be up in about 3.5 hours. They're still at "on sale soon" status.

And although I do like Alternative Zero, I'm not that desperate for him, so I'm probably not staying up for this.

Also, blank checklist updated.

Uhhg. After last month I've just about lost all interest in trying this.

Just wait 'til the morning. I honestly can't see the 2nd wave of preorders going out very fast. The line up isn't exactly the most popular figures.

That didn't work out with Black, Battle Hopper, and Shadow Moon. I stayed up til they went live and for a couple hours after and missed them even though I was in the middle of trying to check out with them. And they've been gone ever since.

Maaaaan, the Metallic Shinkenger FIguarts set is gorgeous. Photos just do not do these guys justice at all.

I can safely report that I think Bluefin fixed the hip problem on the Shinkenger girls. Knock on wood, but I have not experienced any problems with mine and they do not seem week at all.

Pictures please! :D

Agreed. It was seeing them at AX that made me want them.

To be honest, I never knew there was really an issue. I know someone mentioned it many many months ago, but that was it.

So did you knock on Chiaki when you opened the set?

They're both pretty notorious for having brittle hip joints. Can't count the number of reports I heard of the joints pretty much disintegrating. Pink more so then Yellow, or so I've heard.

I want ZX however I feel like I might wait on him till I have a little more money.

HAHA!
