You're no fun at all. "I'm right. So I'm done." :I

I admit I kinda lost steam in toku toys after picking up ThreeA but damn Figuarts Stronger really pulled me back. Saw it in stores and was amazed by the colors. Picked it up instantly along with the remaining sic Kiwamis I'm missing.

I just don't want to derail the thread with whiny arguments. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss it, but I think I've said all there is to it. If people want to see Power Ranger figuarts, I can't stop them and I doubt Tamashii themselves stating they won't do it would stop them either.

Any Saint Seiya fans here?

Wow Pegasus Koga from Omega. Nice! Wish the armor was more metallic though. I mean I'm not expecting chrome sheen but a metallic white would look nicer.

Raia came in today. :D He's pretty sweet, but he's also totally my first Ryuki Figuart. So for all I know he's the worst of the bunch. :p
But yeah, he's pretty cool. The Sling Vent is awesomely articulated as is his rat tail. His neck joint puts my only other two Figuarts(G3 and IXA) to shame. But one thing that doesn't is his lack of a bicep swivel. Which kinda really sucks since his EvilVisor looks so much like a shield, yet he can't even block his chest. Oh well.
Also, am I the only one who finds it funny that you can only recreate one of his four vents with just the stuff that comes with Raia? :lol

Like I have once said before, Raia has a bicep swivel, it's just REALLY tight.

He does? I'll have to try wiggling a fortune teller's bicep some time...

they are all awesome...there has not been a bad Ryuki figure...I have reviewed all but Knight myself, even though I have him. If Gai had been affordable, I would have him. Cooksux has some AMAZING pictures of Ryuki on his site...I like to think I have some good ones of Zolda, Ouja and Raia on mine...

Good to know. I think I'll go for Ouja next...

Also, I'm pretty sure Raia's bicep swivel is glued with paint. Bandai must have painted the bicep guard after it was attached to the shoulder joint, and the overspray 'glued' the shoulder to the bicep. I think I'll have to start poking the space between with a knife...

EDIT: Heheh. Turns out the bicep guard is attached to the shoulder and not the bicep like I thought. It moves fine, and prevents the nubs from colliding with his shoulder pad. Good thing I caught this early on, or I'd end up with a Raia without a bicep guard. :lol
