I think after I pick up Cyclone Joker, I may make Kuuga Mighty Form and either Den-O Sword or Raia my next KR figuart.

I'll buy it after Matrix buys Decade.

On another note: Shin before Hibiki?!?

I have all of those besides Raia, get Den-O Sword.

Does AmiAmi even do exchanges anymore (especially belated ones) for non-Japanese customers? They've gained the reputation of being much more restrictive on things like that recently so I don't know how many North American buyers (at least) even try anymore.

NOt happy about Shin being an exclusive. It is bad enough I still need to get Scissors, Impaler, Ryuuga, Tackle, the other Wizard dragon forms, and Blade King Form.

You ever thought of finding a middleman dude?

Shin seems pretty cheap to be a web exclusive. So many figures coming out in April which will be close to my birthday. For my birthday, I will likely get the S.H Figuarts of Black RX, Shin, and the Attack on Titan figma figures.

I have all of those, and Raia is by far the best.
Den-O, i dunno, there's something about the pelvis area I don't like, and the hands don't grip the weapons as strongly as I would like. Kuuga Mighty doesn't have any accessories other than hands, but I think the Kuuga body is a decent figure.

I love the Den-O figuarts, I think Sword Form has some standing up issues but that's just me.

When it comes to collecting Figuarts, I go with the characters and forms I like. I don't plan to buy every form of Wizard because it's almost the same design with a different color. It's like a waste of money to me.

Now you know how I feel about female Rangers.:lol

So it looks like I'll be using Big in Japan to get Imperer, as i think their shipping is almost half the price of CSToys's. If I were to order Blade King form from RiderProxy, can anyone give me a shipping estimate to the USA? Also, are there any hidden international/customs fees I would need to worry about? Sorry for asking lots of questions, this is my first time trying to order TWEs. Thanks in advance!

Dude, when are you happy about anything? :lol

I know the feeling too as I will be going through that with Tiger Ranger next year and then any DaiRangers that come out.

I had the dude that was on here (Sentai Tamashii), but he had to stop. He was awesome but the problem with a middle man is that I had to make sure I paid him by a certain time which just got a little over hand. Plus, I don't know of any other middle men nor do I think I would trust anyone that is not an actual user on this board.

Curious, what is with the hype of Attack on Titan? I couldn't even get through the first episode.

I always happy, you are just reading my posts wrong.

Seriously, I am happy just as much as I am unhappy. Go into the MonsterArts thread. Go into the Kamen Rider Blade LWW threads. Look at the Sentai/KR Cool Things threads.

But there are middlemen websites. Like reputable businesses that do this regularly. How does that not sound trustworthy to you ? You need to personally know someone to give them money?

I like Attack on Titan, as for the reason for the hype, not too sure. Maybe cause its different from what it out there? I read the manga and it was pretty interesting, and the anime has a slow start, the action doesn't get good until later (which is one reason why I haven't really kept up with it and also since I already know whats going to happen from the manga).

Exactly. I know I have mentioned CSToys, but there a ton out there, I decided to use Nippon Yassan for MammothRanger, which is about $20 cheaper than CST wouldve been actually. I cant think of alll of them, but look around, there are enough to use.

A better question would be: What is with the hype of Sword Art Online?

As for Attack on Titan. I've only read a few chapters of the Manga, and it's pretty good, albeit gory and dark. The author put a lot of work into the world building (I guess that's what you could call it) He went so far as to ask a friend of his who's a scientist to help him make the 3D maneuver gear scientifically plausible, and there's a page in the manga explaining the architecture of the walls. I mean, overall, it's a well written series, with it's main issue being character development from what I've seen in reviews.

I liked SAO. I know the story has been done before with Haseo, but I liked how it did an action series without being so typical as to what we usually get. I liked the characters, though I wouldn't proclaim any of them great works of animation. The story was as I said interesting. The animation was great. And well...FUCKING CROSSING FIELD!

I'm not saying you can't like SAO. It's just that I often see it regarded as one of the greatest anime of all time, and it just has too many flaws for me to see it as such.

Don't want to get your hopes up, but things might resume soon if things work out in the coming monthes.

At least I can take comfort in that all the planned Sailor Senshi are regular releases*Waits for the other 5 to be exclusives or not made :lol*

Not sure how long they've been at $51, but there ya go if anyone needs them still: SHF OO/Bouken Black and Blue

Just got Kyuryo Red and he is such a beautiful figure. Though while I knew he might have tight joints from what I read here I had no idea how tight they were until I got him in hand, he's perfectly possible but I just have to be super careful while posing him. Speaking of being careful I already broke the Gabricalibur grip when trying to get it in Red's hand but it was easily fixed by just dabbing a drop of super glue on it with a cotton swab and it's good as new.

I was a little disappointed when it seemed like I couldn't have Kyoryu Red rest his arms behind his head like he does in the show since it just feels like the perfect Daigo pose, but after closely examining the shoulder joints and carefully fiddling with my figure I got him to pose basically the way I want him. Though now I'm afraid of changing his pose because I don't know if I can repose him like this again.

Is that a Project BM Ankh in the background?

It is, spent way too much on him but I needed him for my collections >-< since he's my favorite Kamen Rider character and I'm a huge Miura Ryosuke fan.


Also I changed my mind on fixing the gabricalibur...I have something else in mind to use those parts

can anyone guess what it is...;p

Cool!

so I'm kinda surprised this hasn't caught spark here...

Well we already caught those transformation images in the article from a couple days ago. It's absolutely awesome that'll be able to transform though even with a little parts forming. It's gotta transform better than the S.I.C. at least.

And the more important Vaijin news is, 2-pack :D
Auto Vaijin release info

Just placed an order on Amazon to finally get my Figuarts Zolda. My all time favorite rider. Gonna be the star of my little collection.

Well, it looks like two new Riders are going to be in my collection soon come cashing in a check I received.

Oh? Do tell.

I'm buying Kuuga off of Tractor, and depending on how bowy, Kabuto as well.

Nice, nice. I think Kabuto is likely to be one of the next seasons I check out. Some really cool rider designs. Kuuga is on the list as well, just not sure when I'll get to it.

Kabuto is one of my favorite suit designs. I plan on watching it after I finish up W. Kuuga I simply just like (for now) because of the suit. It's simple but stylish.

You know what I just noticed about the Ryuki figuarts? The Advent Decks come out!

Yes, yes they do. It's an awesome feature, but I don't really get why they included it.

Especially since they don't advertise it very well on the box.

Plus they never took them out in rider form. I'd understand the gimmick if they made un henshined figures, but they didn't So it's like "Uhmmmmm....cool?"

Plus they're so damn small that you could lose them insanely easily if you're not careful.

On a coupled of my figures it doesn't snap in very snugly, and i lost Knight's for a while.

Just bought Beast, and Faiz (Blaster form) Off ebay and Kyoryu Red and Buster Red for my brother. Why why do I love these figures so much?
