Crystal Skull also comes with a plastic cap you can put underneath the fedora to prevent it from sticking to the head and/or leaving paint marks.

Shows how much I know about a figure I've had for years.:lol

possessing either of them makes you manlier I hear...

I possess Crystal because I wasn't collecting when the original version came out. If I possess the Skullboilder then how much more manliness do i get?

Is any of the Akibaranger Figuarts exclusives? I'm thinking about collecting all 3 to complete the team.

They're all mass retail. And the first run bonus with red is a set of 3 tamashii stages for the team. Actually even the other 3 Sentai reds that come with the penultimate power cannon parts will be retail. Deka Red is already out with the cuffs. Bouken red and Red Hawk will also be retail. Actually even the Itasha Robo will be retail. Just ridiculously expensive retail :lol

The neck is fine on mine, but her head did pop off the first time I went to put her scarf on.

In other news, my preorder that took forever from ToyArena finally arrived last week. I was late to preorder Meteor and they were the last ones to still have the order available (or at least until BBTS reopened the preorder a week later :( ). I need to get a stand for him, though, because I'm afraid of him falling off my shelf if I keep him in his Bruce Lee pose.

I am, between that and the VF-4... F*&($ me :(

Holy cow, you're right! This is the first time that Bandai has gone all mass-release on one show!

I was about to say Kabuto, but then I remember they released the normal ZecTrooper as an exclusive...

Got my Fourze Firestates from AmiAmi late last week. Unfortunately, I think this is my most disappointing Figuart I've bought so far. The plastic seems cheap and the red colors don't match at all. I'm glad I only paid 1,000 yen for this guy! :(
