The Duke was confirmed to be custom by the guy who actually took the image- Wonderfest had that platform for you to display your figures on and he happened to bring his custom with him

I don't care what that is, I want it. Now.

I agree with you on the first part. But I don't want it that badly. But it would be nonce to have!

If it was real I'll probably buy it too, but I'm so happy with Duke Lemon Energy that I don't really feel like needing Dragon Fruit.

It is Duke and therefore necessary.

I'm in on Gaim in general, and if they cranked out an official version of this, I'm all in. Too bad it's just a custom, it's really pretty (as the Gaim Riders generally all are).

Welp I wasn't really planning on buying any more figures this summer, but made the mistake of browsing mandarake and found Gaim Pine Arms/Baron Mango Arms unopened for 6k and caved instantly. That's. Not good? M..maybe. Hopefully I actually got to it though, I kind of really want it.

Though I guess that means I'll have two Gaims, a Baron, and...Marika and Knuckle when they get here in the fuuutuuuure. What a lopsided excuse for a collection. Suddenly I have a mighty need to get a Bravo and Duke. Gaim has too many designs I want and I haven't even watched the thing. Jeez.

6000 for the Pine/Mango set? That's a steal.

Well that is easy, I haven't read one single bit of news on any of the movies. The last Toku movie I actually watched was... Super Hero Taisen 2. Or the dino ranger movie, depending on which came out first.

6K is a great price, we payed 10k upon release. The figures are definitely worth it. Just one advise: Be very, very careful with Gaim's Pine Iron weapon. Especially the little ring that connects the chain to the flail-thingy. It is really weak, the smallest amount of force will bend it and disconnect the chain. It's not too hard to get it reattached, but better to be careful from the start.

Gravity is no problem, I display him with the flail hanging from the chain, but even if you hold it wrong while posing it the ring can bend. Just be aware of that.

Bravo and Duke are both great. I haven't seen much Bravo's around, but Duke is definitely out there, NipponYasan still have him for a decent price, not too expensive.

And I can understand your feelings, I started collection Gaim last year and I have bought almost all of them, I'll post some pics once the package with Ryugen Yomi decides to show up. But even I run out of money, I'll have to skip the other Energy Riders. But I think my collection is big enough as is, I get Knuckle so I have all the Beat Riders and then I continue waiting for Overlord Baron.

Also. Watch Gaim. Not only will you appreciate your figures much more, it's a great show to watch.
