Didn't have a chance to open these guys up earlier today. White Wizard and Sharivan are similar to me in that, despite not possessing an overwhelming amount of accessories, are incredibly striking in-hand. Though I initially got the Den-O two-pack for Gun Form (that head reminds me so much of Prime Soundwave), Rod Form is pretty impressive and made it a worthwhile purchase.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps2ojbmk1w.jpg Hopefully my AmiAmi order with a bunch more Figuarts arrives tomorrow, otherwise I'll probably have to wait until Thursday for more Figuarts to mess with. |
I had no idea White Wizard had been released, I'll have to pick him up.
|
After watching Kamen Rider The First and The Next, I plan on getting Figuarts Kamen Rider V2 eventually. Anything I should watch out for? I know it's kind of old.

Guess i should buy those figures before I get that far into wizard. :D
|
The Wizard figuarts are hit or miss. I would pick up Flame Dragon instead of Flame Style because Flame Dragon is a million times better. Flame Style still looks great on display, but pick him up if you find him cheap on Ebay.
|
I don't like Wizard, and even I want White Wizard. Best looking suit of the show in my opinion. Just wish it was black :lol
|
The problem with teh Wizard Dragon figures is they don't have a flared out cloak, which I think is what makes the Wizard figures so unique and dynamic looking. They're definitely improvements upon the default Wizard body, but honestly, if I could only keep one, I think I'd keep Flame Style over Flame Dragon (but again, I'm one of the very lucky few with a reasonably good Flame Style).
A Black version of White Wizard would be awesome. |
I'm tempted to get a Kamen Rider bike because I just like the idea of giving vehicles to Figuarts but I haven't seen any Kamen Rider series before so not sure which is best. I've been considering the ones from Fourze, Wizard, the one for Blade or just wait for the Gaim one's to come out. I'm also considering starting to watch Kamen Rider since I have time now, would Gaim be a good place to start?

Just wondering if anyone here has had any success fixing tight shoulder joints on figuarts?? im ordering my 2nd ryuranger but incase its tight like the previous i dont want it to snap and my MMPR white ranger seems to have the same issue =[
does the shock oil work?? and how do i get it in there ? |
No idea, but then, the few figures I had with tight shoulders loosened up after about 2 months. My RyuuRanger had a tight left shoulder and now it does not even squeak.
|
Does anyone own the SH Figuarts Guard Chaser? I found a B-grade one on Jungle for 4200 yen which is a bit pricier then I'd like and I'm prettier sure it's sold out everywhere else. Wasn't able to find it on Mandarake either. Not sure if I should get it or not since I want to get a bike but don't really have any other Kamen Rider Figuarts besides G-3, Abyss and Wizard Infinity.
|
So can we talk about the non-Toku S.H Figuarts? I always want to get the DBZ ones and I wonder which one is the best one so far? I always love Perfect Cell's design and I saw him on sale on Ebay a while back.

does anyone have a US release calendar for January and February?
|
Quote:
January's up. February dates won't be up until 1 February (Tamashii exclusives for February are known, but I don't think those ever have specific release dates like the retail releases, they just come out towards the end of each month). |

That is the same kind of question I would like to ask too. Since my Ryuuranger and White Ranger SHF figures are also suffering the same thing too with each shoulder joint. ;-; I've then asked someone else to find a same sort of fluids similliar to shock oil, but so far, I have to wait. T-T |
|
I just ordered the shock oil from amazon for about 5 bucks along with my replacement ryuranger as soon as they come in i plan on taking a toothpick and removing the balljoint and trying to get someon the top of it and start moving it to see if it works itself into the joint, i will update on the progress and if this method works, so far only white ranger and ryuranger for me have this issue,

I got Kamen Rider W Heat Metal in the mail today and I'm very happy with it. I dig the W figuarts and I need two more to finish up my main W forms.

As for a shoulder, what I would do is take a piece of the dry bar soap and just kind of push it into the joint if you can, like just mash it in there. I know it sounds really bizarre and gross and whatnot, but it's dry, and it's bar soap, so all it's going to do is act like lubricant. Move it around easy, don't wrench on it, because there may not be enough coverage. Good luck guys. |
I used tiny amounts of silicone spray. I thought it might be a bit corrosive, because it has dissolved stuff before, but I guess that only happens with large amounts. Or on cheap plastic.

Had time to mess with MMPR White Ranger and his lack of accessories, although very disappointing, makes it a little more easier to have a photoshoot. Haha. He is a really nice figure, I think he might be one of my favourite looking Figuarts right now. The combination of the gold and pearly white is beautiful in my eyes.

Agito Burning Form and Blade King Form arrived over the past couple days.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psobs5iwjb.jpg Burning Form is a really pretty figure; the dark metallic red is quite striking. Unfortunately, unless I'm an idiot, the shoulder pieces aren't on a hinge joint of some sort to allow for greater posability, so the arms can only raise up to a certain degree. The left shoulder joint is also a little tighter than the right on mine. The chest armor also hinders posability of the torso a bit. It's a nice figure, but for me, a notch below some of the recent others like Abyss and Blade. King Form, like Blade, is quite dynamic, despite the lack of accessories (in comparison to Blade). The shoulders are on separate pieces attached to the top of the shoulder/upper arm; the connection looks a bit thin, so they're not pieces I want to mess around with too much. I didn't realize King Form came with stickers too; they're tiny, but thankfully not nearly as many as Blade (they also don't feel like they have a great amount of stickiness off of the sheet, like Blade's stickers). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psp24hbcvh.jpg |

Of course, they are all going to have stickers. The worst is going to be Garren though, as his stickers are bound to be smaller than Blade's. |
I wonder if Decade and Diend will get renewal or not? I want a Decade figuart with all of his cards for once.

Does anyone know if there's a story behind how Bandai got do to Iron Man Figuarts?
There's tons of Iron Man merchandise to profit from, but Marvel let Bandai get a cut. Was it because Marvel knew Bandais Figuarts line was sold primarily overseas? I don't think Bluefin imported IM and WM I thought that Marvel would be more protective of its domestic product lines (the mainline movie stuff u get at Target and TRU) We'll never get Star Wars figuarts due to the Black Line getting Hasbro and Lucas' support On the other hand, there are PlayArts DC figures and Bishouji comic characters Mainly I'm hoping licensing doesn't prevent us from getting Figuarts Cap, Thor, etc |

Seems odd to me, I think they miscut the sticker. |
