I was a big Spawn collector before I got into Kamen Rider. Seeing how McFarland stop giving a shit about his fanbase, I stop collecting Spawn because Spawn Series 34: Classics was the last retail Spawn figures sold at stores in 2008. He will give us statues to be sold on his website, but they are very pricey and most of his casual fanbase don't have $200 to shell out. The guy makes too many promises and never gives us it after waiting.

Since 2012, Kamen Rider has been my new collecting drug while I still collect Ultraman, Godzilla, Devilman, Mazinger, AVP and other franchises that I still enjoy.

Oh man are we reminiscing? I got into figuarts from the beginning, I use to buy the souchaku henshin lines with faiz, blade and den-o being the ones I fell down the rabbit hole with. I then picked up the next riders and the rest is history.

I got into S.H Figuarts when I bought Kyoryu Red in a shop in NYC (which i didn't know at the time I waaaaaay over paid for) The first rider I got was Riderman and just didn't stop after that .

Over paid? Must be image anime.

Bingo ! You got it on the first try .

Image Anime can be pricey on their Japanese imports, but they are not too bad when it comes to normal retail items via Bluefin. I still like to visit them every time I go to NYC. Very friendly people and not many stores these days still have a large section of toku & anime stuff like they used in the 90's and early 2000's.

I did got a O-Medal Set EX set from them last December for like $10 or $15. They had it sitting there for years and decided to buy it.

I still like to visit them when I'm in NYC . I just have a better idea on which items are over priced .

d_amazing works there and he does awesome photography work with his figures.

I'm a fan of his work had no idea that he worked there .

I am finding it very hard to pose Shinken Red. Or rather, finding a pose I like.
