I'm sure I can find it- thanks. ^_^

Is the TaToBa figuart worth picking up? I know it's inevitable that he'll get an S.S. release hopefully next year, but Eiji is my favorite main Rider and it kinda sucks that I don't have a single figure to represent him in my collection.

Not really. He has infamously weak ankles that makes standing him up surprisingly difficult.

If you love OOO then maybe (and I can't imagine he goes for much these days), but honestly it's one of the worst Rider Figuarts in my collection (second only to ZX). Terrible ankles, sloppy paint and gummy hands/claws do not a good figure make :(

From what I gather I may have just had some really bad luck with him though, as others have had much better experiences. Still, I'd only really recommend him if you can find him reasonably cheap.

It's probably worth it, if you can get him for less than $20 shipped, otherwise, no, don't.

He looks pretty good, but honestly, it feels like a cheap figure to me, and the super very unposeable ankles suck, and can make him difficult to get into a pose that looks right.

If you do get one, go in with VERY low expectations, and then maybe you won't be super disappointed. Just a little. I'm glad I have one, but I agree, the OOOs figures are the worst out of all the heisei figuarts.

Super TaToBa isn't perfect, but is a much better figure, maybe get that one if you can, instead of regular TaToBa.

So as I suspected from that image, Orb Origin the First is apparently an Amazon exclusive.

Good reason to skip him I guess.

My TaToBa figuart does not have any paint issues (I got mine in 2013) but I feel like he is a bad figuart by today's standers. His hips feel very lose and his head is too small. I do think SHF Putotyra is not too bad though.

Definitely not. I bought one and its leg broke at the knee the moment I tried using the joint. He doesn't look quite right when displayed among the more modern Figuarts. I'm with you on being impatient, though. Even though I technically own it (I repaired the leg with superglue, but the knee can no longer be used), it still feels like a hole in my collection. It is literally the worst Figuarts Rider I own, now that W has been replaced.

If you're die-hard for OOO, look for him for cheap. Otherwise I'd just wait. Mine's fairly okay, but if you're used to the current quality of Figuarts, he'll be a massive disappointment.

Given the discussion of relative sales and what is and isn't getting made in Shinkocchou Seihou, it just occurred to me that we only saw the Hoppers and Accel recently, and they're already being released, whereas we saw Diend previewed some time ago, and it hasn't materialized. I wonder if this means SS Decade's sales weren't up to Bandai's expectations.
