Hey, thanks for this info, I was really upset I missed Skull.

So yeah, after handling (and almost immediately returning) a movie Legacy figure today I'm even more wishful that Figuarts will do these suits justice.

Pity most of me can't see it happening :(

Orb secured

So hae there been any reviews yet of Ultra Seven? He came out last week but I can't seem to find anything on it.

Thanks, but god dammit, now it makes me want him right now ever more. Hopefully either Amazon or BBTS gets in my preorder sooner rather rather than later. Except for the incorrect placement of his eye holes, he looks awesome. Although, I wonder how fragile it is to get the Emerium Ray into the fingers.

There have already been pics of the Ex-Aid set out there, but just to help clarify some things people were worried about:

Brave's Gashacon Sword can rotate at the blade. It's a really satisfying feeling to do so since it soft-locks in place.

Snipe's Level 1 face plate actually /is/ tinted red. It's super-subtle and I had to look at it side by side with Ex-Aid with light directly on the visors, but you can see that Snipe's is very, very vaguely tinted and looks lighter than the black visors.

That's actually really good to know. Wish it was a little more obvious but I appreciate that they didn't just leave that detail out completely.

Only complaints:

- Snipe's cape is a nightmare to deal with.

- Would've preferred either two full swords or separate blades for the Gashacon Sword.

- Lack of detail on the Gashats.

All of that's understandable, but the first REALLY makes me wish they'd hurry up and switch over to soft goods last week.

I'm not gonna have the Figuarts in hand for a while but I'm already anticipating the first two will also bother me (that and the lack of paint on Brave's collar which I predict will either drive me insane, or drive me to try to pay someone to fix it).

The lack of detail on the Gashats doesn't bother me as much as the fact that apparently they have pegs rather than the clear parts. I mean, it makes perfect sense for functionality reasons, but it also means they're useless for displaying the Riders holding them (not that they really have hands to do that with anyway). Should've come with stumpy and full versions, imo.
