Can’t afford that much this side of Christmas so I may as well just wait until it hits Mandarake.

How do you guys feel about upgrading your figuart collection? Since we get new versions of the same Kamen Riders, I do feel like it gets kinda tiresome at times. Sometimes I feel like some figuarts are still great and don't need a upgrade like the Ryuki and Blade figuarts.

I feel happy about upgrading my collection. The SS rider Figuarts are update to the rider suit. That alone make it all worth it just look at the decade 1.0 and 2.0. I do understand how it can get tiresome for me I use to be a fan of wizard Figuarts but now I don't care for wizard since we got so many better and cooler rider lines. I use to only collect Sentai Figuarts but now rider is the only Figuarts I collect. Since bandai has gone in order for each rider renewal the Ryuki line which looks great but he small compare to other SS riders. A Ryuki renewal will happen and I be happy to buy it to update my collection. I can see how not everyone want to update there collect but for some it important to them.

I'm only going to be upgrading if it's a series I really, really liked otherwise I'm fine with just having the versions I own already.

As long on SHF keep on getting made, I doubt I can keep on upgrading over and over again. The Shinkocchou Seihou Figuarts are like the Criterion Collection of Figuarts. I can't imagine how they can out do the SS SHF line in the future. I will probably upgrade my Pre-Gaim Riders expect for maybe Black 2.0 and Black RX 2.0.

I don’t see what the problem is. Most toylines do new versions of figures at some point, and no one is ever obligated to replace their existing figures. I’m happy to replace the few I do already have to get the newer ones, but if a figure is good enough then why worry. I didn’t buy the renewal Shadow Moon for that exact reason.

Great, I just dug out my V3 after long storage and noticed his other leg is really loose but thought nothing of it - but I just noticed that the socket for the ball is cracked, that's why it's so loose :(

Damn, sorry to hear that :(

I would wait with looking for a replacement though, they're bound to release a new Shinkocchou Seihou V3 in the next few years.

Here some clear photos of the Kamen Rider 1 Villains.

the snakes design is the better aged one- it would still work today probably why they used it in the decade movie with w
