mine will be here soon...oh so so soon...

I still really hate the new style hips on Meteor. It really breaks up the design :( I've said it before but he needs the old styled hips that were featured on guys like Black RX and Agito.

Kabuto hips are the best man! Agito style restricted the range of movement.I think he just didn't pop them back in place.

I like the style we got on the Ryuki Riders. They don't have the wide split range, but they're a lot more mobile than the ones on Black, Kuuga, and Agito (which was actually a new style - the original Figuarts had the extending hip like Meteor seems to).

Show-off :P
Come back when you have 3 of each medal.

I think it's accurate to the movies that Eiji only has one of each Core Medal type. But I may have read that wrong and he may have doubles of some of them.

But in all seriousness those Medals look beautiful! I just hope you got the Scaner fixed KamenRiderOOO.

Well, as of Megamax, he has at least 1 copy of the 5 original sets (TaJaDor, GataKiriBa, RaToraTah, SaGoZo, ShaUTa) and the Super Medals, but in Super Hero Taisen, he some how has copies of those and the purple set.

And unfortunately, not yet -____-. I asked my dad and neighbor's dad if they had a small soldering iron, but alas, they do not. Looks like I may have to ask my grandpa when we pick him up for Vegas

Hate to be technical but Black RX is a Heisei era rider actually. :p

Why?

He was produced during the Heisei period.

Saw this at a shop in Hong Kong

I blame the form changing gimmick...

Technically he's both - the show started during the Showa era but ended during the Heisei. Officially, though, Black RX, Shin, ZO, and J are all counted as Showa Riders.

Got my first Figuarts Kamen Rider and my first SIC KT. Very pleased with both, though moreso the KT as it fits in with the majority of my collection (4"ish scale).

Can't wait to get more KTs and hope they more more of my favorites.

Bad picture, I know. Used my iPhone and it's pretty dark in my room, so..
That was the best I could do. Sorry if it's not clear enough~!

Amazing isn't it? To think, Bandai Japan can do an incredible job on their Kamen Rider figures, but then you have Bandai America doing what they should have just called Blundercats. I mean, why does their Japanese side care about quality when their US side doesn't give two flying ****s about it? Imagine how amazing the Thundercats woudl look if they were made by Bandai Japan. There would be no screws on the back, correctly colored joints, and faces that look natural. I mean, every time I look at that Lion-O on my shelf, I keep thinking that I should get him a litter box.

Indeed. But you do need to keep in mind the audience. Stuff here is really catered to children that tend to break things. Why make something nice if it will be broken? I really do not like the argument I make, but I use it to calm myself down from the same frustration you're feeling.

I can understand that part, but the Classics line was made for the adult collector. Of course, Bandai has shown they don't give two flying poops about the Thundercats line anyway, given how litlte they have bothered to support it or even talk about it.

The really sad thing is that a lot of people consider Thundercats to be one of Bandai of America's best lines ever. That's how low the bar is set for them.

Main thing with Japan is there is a higher concentration of people like us...AKA people who care too much with the disposable income. Figuarts are not made for kids. We are a specialty market, and unfortunatly not to sound political, we are the 1%...I would love for Bandai to make some the Thundercats in Figuarts style...Look at Mattel with their Masters of the Universe line...it is BARELY hanging on by a thread, McFarlane is one of the few US (sorta) companies that is able to keep going. I don't think some 8 year old is going to want a Medevil Spawn then complane when he loses the chain...I wouldn't buy one for my kid.

Thought I had posted this. Guess not.

Nice! Yours looks a bit cleaner than mine.

I really wish the Figmas used a darker color than that ash grey.

I really wish they weren't made like shit either :( I've gotta say that I'm more pleased with the ancient Knight Survive Souchaku Henshin figure that I got in the order with Wrath. By comparison Wrath is floppy, less poseable, and cheaper feeling over all. Even though the old SH figures have those micro sized heads under the helmets the other features more than make up for it. Come on Bandai give me Figuarts of these guys.

so I take it that despite my cravings...just avoid the Figmas?

Worst of all, I have to agree with that statement. At least on their 6inch line, because their 4inch lines sucks ass.

Is that custom or an actual Figuart coming out?

Neither. It's the Figma for the American character, Kamen Rider Wrath.

That's the Figma for the Dragon Knight character, Wrath.

I think that there will be an Odin Figuart (He for damn sure better come with a stand with gold feathers) with GoldPhoenix, but until then, it's either him or nothing for your Ryuki reenactments :P

No, buy a Figma or two and form your own opinion. Personally, I've enjoyed every Figma I've owned.

I would say so. If your desperate (like I was) for stand-ins for your Ryuki cast it really isn't worth it. The weird rubbery material that the body is made of seems to have been chosen so they could make the figures as close to the real suits as possible. Unfortunately they suffer what alot of Medicom and RAH figures do, horribly limited articulation.

That reminds me that I still don't have Revoltech Neo-Getter 1. :cry

If you must buy a Figma, get it on super discount (I got my Wrath for $8, $15 shipped).

Thanos?
