I want Kyoryu Gold but I don't know if I should pre-order him now (where could I go without paying upfront?) or wait to see if he shows up on Mandarake for a good price...I think I need some opinions. Haha

Lowest price I've seen on pre-orders. And they don't charge until 2 weeks before release.

6260 yen with EMS(I opted for this because it's only 280 yen higher than another service using Registered SAL). I placed an order yesterday actually. And another for the Green/Blue 2 pack.

hey does anyone know when Amiami will have Mammoth Ranger or Black Hair Goku up for pre-order

Hmm, thanks for the link! I'm seriously considering getting them all too but I feel like I should try to finish the teams that I've started...athough I do have quite a bit of time till they are released...

From my understanding, if they are Tamashii Web Exclusives, Amiami won't be selling them.

Den-O Gun and Rod went up for preorder back in June?!? AGH! I've gotta go preorder that!

Amiami doesn't sell Tamashii Web Exclusives.

BlueFin will have both for sale in the States side

So, after 2 months in Hong Kong I now have a better collection.

I have added Gokai Silver, Akiba Red (1st and 2nd season), Bouken Red, Hyper Shinken Red, Deka Blue, Black Condor, Red Buster, Ryuki (Normal form and Blank Form) and Agito Trinity Form.

With many still to come from Japan!!!

You can view my whole collection here: http://myfigurecollection.net/profile/gambit-t

I have 2 questions, hope some one can help me:

1. Both my Red Buster and Bouken Red have hands that do not fit into the ball joint, the hole in the hands are too small. Does any one know how i can fix it? Currently i am using other Figuarts hands for Red Buster to hold its weapons.

2. Does any one know if there will be any other Sentai and Kamen Rider figuarts going up for pre order (Normal Releases) on the usual 2nd of every month.

Thanks

And I just paid for my AmiAmi order. Also, Blade and the Bouken boys should be arriving today.

Oh yeah, and KibaRanger needs to appear on Mandarake now!!! I've been on there for the last few days like every hour in hopes he will appear. Sure, I have the BF one preordered, but the review I saw showed that the US one is the same size as DragonRanger while the Jp one is a tad shorter.

If its anything like mine, they will fit they're just a real pain to do. Those two are the worst of all my Figuarts.

There's the Garren/Red Rhombus set. I don't think anyone else has been revealed though to my knowledge.
Sentai figures are unlikely but who knows?

To my knowledge, only Mammoth Ranger and Kyoryu Gold were announced in this wave of scans and both were web exclusive.

Where's the review? I'd be interested to see the comparison.

This is the review of the Bluefin version
http://www.tomopop.com/tomopop-revie...er-32070.phtml

The pics make him still look a bit shorter, but not as short as the earlier pictures. I wonder if it is really a different size or to do with camera angles and stuff although the reviewer does imply he's shorter because of Kiba Ranger, so who knows? I can't wait for mine to arrive Monday!

I would just like to say that I found myself more excited about the fact that KyoryuRed comes out in 2 weeks , then actually getting Kiba ranger and Hurricane Red physically in my hands.

I am so damn pumped for that figure!

It seems like a shorter timeframe from reveal to release, which is awesome. I can't wait for him either!

Figuarts really is a great line, there's always so much to look forward to and the releases are spaced well enough that it's never just long waits.

Huh, so AmiAmi did split my order. Guess Wizard Infinity's not waiting for Samus. So that'll be shipping soon.

Amazon also sent an update on Blade. Still hasn't shipped but the payment already went through, so that should happen soon as well.

And here I was thinking I wasn't going to be getting any Figuarts for a while haha.

Amazon sent me an email last night saying the Blade Figuarts I ordered yesterday is expected to arrive on Oct 1, so I don't have to wait too long. yay! :)

Woo hoo! Got payment request lsat night for KR Abyss from AmiAmi. i saw the email but didn't read it, wish I had because it would have shipped by now. The order is big enough that I'm going EMS on it, cuz I'm also getting a model kit, Hurricane Red, and Ryu Red, and a couple other tiny odds and ends.

I've recently spent a ton on figuarts. Below is full list of orders that have just shipped:

Mandarake
Ryuga (From Ryuki)
GARO
ZERO (From GARO)
Phantom Phoenix
Kamen Rider Beast
DiEnd
Gosei Knight

AmiAmi
Infinity
Hurricane Red

I still haven't seen my order from AmiAmi that was shipped more than a month ago, but then again I picked SAL (Unregistered) which is the cheapest available so my order may still be on a boat somewhere.

Just paid for my AmiAmi order with Abyss and Wizard Infinity. It'll be EMS, so hopefully those two and the rest of my order will arrive Wednesday/Thursday or so?

I'm fiddling around with the Zero I got in the post yesterday and dayum, this might be one of the best Figuarts I have. Despite the really intricate design the articulation is wonderful, the colours really pop and the hands are incredibly easy to swap. My ONLY complaint is that he's a little on the pointy side, but that's a really minor thing.

Garo was a so-so Figuart in comparison, and now I'm sad that we probably won't get any more in this line :(

So I'm curious. What is the Akibaranger exclusive item included with Hurricane Red? I want to know if it's worth it to buy the import version or wait until the Ninja Storm U.S. release happens.

It's the little vest with Shurikenger's logo on it, Youko made it for him to be a little powerup.
I'm pretty sure it's the only Akibaranger bonus that doesn't represent an alternate persona.

whats the akibaranger bonus that comes with red hawk? I bought the US release and trying to decide if I wanna double dip for the Akiba bonus

craaaap was really hoping it wasnt a piece to the cannon. If it was just a costume piece I could prob pass. Ick oh well. So if I get Red Hawk from a Japanese site I will get the bonus?

All the season one bonuses are part of the cannon (so Deka Red, Red Hawk and Bouken Red). Only the season 2 ones had costume pieces.

And yes you would.

Got Red Hawk quite a few months ago but haven't had the time to take him out and play with. Finally found some time today and took some photos.

Wasn't sure how Red Hawk was supposed use his gauntlet...so I made him punch with it...

Mandarake is certainly tricky. I must have went to bed at the wrong time, as I missed out on a Kibaranger and a Robot Damashii Shenlong. I have the RD on the way but I paid a lot for it.. wouldn't hurt to try to get one cheaper. As for Kibaranger, I just love how the box turned out. I like having the boxes on display and that packaging just slays the US box. Curses.

I know that feeling. It seems like every time I step away from the computer is when a Kibaranger goes up and is instantly gone.

I wish there were other places than Mandarake for him at a reasonable price.

Since I get paid tomorrow, I want to use my money for some figures, but I don't really have as much money to throw away now. And so although I still really wanna add Beast and his Mantles to my collection, and maybe a Robo Knight as well, I really don't have like seventy quid to lay down. And those are used Mandrake prices.

Were figuarts always this expensive or am I just realising how much they are now I actually need to spend money on bills and stuff again?

Exactly. It's frustrating. I shouldn't complain though, I've gotten some decent deals on Mandarake, and I have some cool stuff on the way overall. What's equally frustrating is trying to get something like Kibaranger and something cheaper at the same time like Bouken Red or something. I like to try to buy a few things at once with every Mandarake order, so it's always over 5000 yen. I've yet to buy any of the Akibaranger figures yet and I still need Bouken Red, Hurricane Red, Deka Red, and Red Hawk. I'm pretty behind, lol.

Seeing you guys try to get a Kibaranger is making me glad I got a preorder in. Not rubbing it in your faces, just saying that one headache I dont have to worry about. :lol

I won't buy him for much over retail, I'm fine getting the US version since I don't care about the Akibaranger part. It's just the box. It's so cool! lol.

Glad I got with my middleman early on this one.

Well, I have the White Ranger on Pre-Order, but I'd like to get the Kibaranger version if I can instead. If not, well, I can live.

Mandarake was the only way I completed both Dekaranger and Shinkenger for what I consider reasonable prices. I'm working on getting the rest of Gokaiger (need SIlver, Yellow, and Pink).

I have Bouken Blue and Black coming from Amazon along with Sailor Moon right now.

I'm the same. I'd rather get the Jp version of Kiba, if he ever shows up on Mandarake, but if I get the US version first, I'm cool with that.

I'm slowly back tracking. I collect so many different lines that the Sentai stuff is low on my wants. Unless it's Zyuranger, Kyoryuger, or Gosei which I have an affinity for. I like Hurricanger a lot too. I know once I watch more Sentai's I'll want the other teams too, so I figure I'll pick them up while they are available. lol.

Yeah, exactly. I started down a dark road when I got the Japanese versions of Dragon & Tyranno Ranger, because now I want matching packaging. I won't be displaying Kibaranger with the Zyurangers, but with the other Gosei Sentai rangers. So I really don't want US releases if I can help it, yet I want to support the US releases too.. It's a struggle. lol.

Anyone know how much Nissan Yippon charges EMS for one figure? Im thinking preordering Mammothranger either there or Cs toys, but not sure how much the shipping difference woul be.
