I really hope that's not the normal price for Griton and his lock bike.

If it's anything like BBTS usual pricing on imports it's way off.

And for god's sake. Greed & Dantraina? Where the hell are they even making that up from? How do they get that from the actual names Gritton and Dandeliner?

SPLIT LIP 10-18-2013 07:38 PM
Especially since "Dandeliner" is the best name for a bike ever.

Also, can we just agree that BBTS ordering of brands on their site sucks fat ones? I mean, they have tons of Kamen Rider stuff, but don't order it by series. Just generic, catch-all terms lime "action figures."

The visor effect is really well done, but it is a bitch to photograph. But under flash light, it's pretty sweet.

http://www.tokunation.com/attachment...1&d=1382055180Best pic I got of the belt detail. Unfortunately the flash wouldn't work so you can't really see... anything.

I really like how this turns out. I love Figuarts, but they're not playthings. It's rewarding to pick this guy up and not have to worry about double and triple joints going nuts or fragile sharp tips bending or ounces of paint getting stratched or swapping hands.

I wish American action figures were like this. Only Transformers consistently produces this level of articulation and sharpness of sculpt in non-collector-focused lines.

Here's some better pictures.

I think you've sold me on the toy! Time to find a cheap source to get it...

SPLIT LIP 10-18-2013 09:05 PM
Mandarake has it for I think $18. It had it for $15 at one point. Mine was $20.

Locke 10-19-2013 02:13 AM
Mine cost me like twenty quid once postage and handling was added to it. So that is what, like thirty dollars?

It'd still cost shipping from anywhere, so that's very not bad. I got mine with another item so I kinda split the shipping between them, so yeah I paid about the same in Canadian fun-bucks.

Also, our first in-hand look at AC Baron.

Actually Wotkau fighter had his in a couple days earlier on the 17th. He knows someone at Bandai so he always gets his stuff ahead of general release

ElConvoy 10-19-2013 03:04 PM
I kinda like these Arms Change Figures. Only thing that bugs me a little are the giant pieces on their backs. I mean with bandais usual engineering they could easily add another hinge so the flaps could fold up a little more.

My mistake. Figure looks pretty good I gotta say.

Acually I'm not sure they could, since the backs hold the helmets in place and have a big connector block on them preventing another hinge. Baron looks to have a hinge that let's his hang more naturally.

ElConvoy 10-19-2013 03:20 PM
Yeah youre right. The giant block prevents them from folding up nicely. Kinda makes you wish bandai would have found another way to work in the helmet swap.

SPLIT LIP 10-19-2013 04:11 PM
The only thing I could think of is attaching the helmet to the collar, thus making it imobile, or ruining the look of the front or sides by connecting it to a different piece.

ElConvoy 10-19-2013 04:18 PM
Yeah with the current folding set up the only way to get the armor to look right would possibly be to make the helmet a non moving piece or just a removable piece that does not connect with the armor. Could also be possible that the whole backflap isnt such a big issue when you have the figures in hand.

SPLIT LIP 10-19-2013 04:35 PM
Yeah, back flap doesn't bug me. Plus, these are supposed to be gimmick figures, so having the helemt not be able to pull of the full swapping trick woudn't have been as great. As it is it's a really well-done gimmick with figures that suffer minimally from it.

I just hope we get pics of that armour pack soon.

ElConvoy 10-19-2013 04:37 PM
Its a small price to pay for finally having a line of toys were you slam giant Cyberfruits onto someones head :lol

The back armor always bothered me, but I can't fight such an argument. :lol

SPLIT LIP 10-19-2013 05:35 PM
The back armour would bother me more, as in at all, if it weren't for the fact that we'll obviously get Figuarts some day. These are just fun alternatives to tide of us over/fill in the cast.

Shin Densetsu 10-20-2013 12:46 AM
Hey guys do the hands or weapons have clips that strengthen the grip? I worry about weapon grip getting loose over time.

ElConvoy 10-20-2013 09:59 AM
As far as I know there are no additional tabs on the weapons or hands.

SPLIT LIP 10-20-2013 11:23 AM
Yeah, no tabs. The hand grips are really solid, though. It's funny, my SH Den-O with metal pins in the knuckles can't hold shit, but Gaim with all plastic hands can hold just about anything.

KRX 10-20-2013 01:54 PM
Do you know what sucks? The wait for Zangetsu merchandise.

I just want to hear his Sengoku Driver sounds without any other sound pollution, man. Is that too much to ask?

ElConvoy 10-20-2013 01:58 PM
That is one of the thing that really bugs me too. I hope they get around to releasing a set with Zangetsus,Gridons and Kurokages Plates since I doubt they will be releasing the weapons for them.

Not really, heck he was shown before Baron and Pineapple, the guy should have had priority.

Who knows... I'm more curious to learn whether Pinneapple's is released or not.

ElConvoy 10-20-2013 02:06 PM
I would doubt it. Pine Arms weapon is going to be tricky as a roleplay toy.

KRX 10-20-2013 02:10 PM
Considering that the Geki Hammer wasn't released as a roleplay toy (as far as I can tell), I wouldn't get my hopes up.

algo448 10-20-2013 02:11 PM
That's exactly why I want to see it. :p

Anything that swings around is probably not very kid friendly.

ElConvoy 10-20-2013 02:14 PM
You think? xD

What I´m intrested in seeing is if Gaim,Baron and Ryugen will also get a Genesis Driver or a completely new one for their future upgrades.

Yeah, that and they already released the Pine LockSeed with the LockSeed holder, and since it's Gaim's LockSeed already, seems pretty pointless to release a stand alone weapon. And on that note, the Melon LockSeed is released with the MusouSaber, which means Zangetsu may not get a faceplate, unless it is released in a 3 pack with Griton and Kurokage

Or maybe they get the short end of the stick? There's a limit to how many toys they can sell.

Good point with Zangetsu.

Wasnt there a picture of the silhoutte for Gaims Mid Season upgrade Figure with the new Sonic Arrow? If he uses that weapon I would guess he will also use the genesis driver.

There's no way they wouldn't release Zangetsu's plate. He's like one of the main guys probably.

Gaim for sure will, I was talking about Ryugen and Baron.

ElConvoy 10-20-2013 03:24 PM
I would imagine that atleast Baron will get a big upgrade being the secondary Rider and all.

SPLIT LIP 10-20-2013 03:29 PM
I wouldn't be against a foam/soft plushy Pine Mace.

Also, why can't Zangetsu's faceplate be released with his sheild, or part of a faceplate pack? Ryugen's faceplate just comes with a lock seed.

algo448 10-20-2013 03:31 PM
The genesis driver, makes Zangetsu look like an opened Melon, and I suppose Gaim gets a similar effect.
I guess it's safe to assume Baron will become a Banana Split.

I would assume he does get a mid season upgrade, but none of the current scans hint that he uses the Genesis Driver, maybe he skips the mid-season and gets a final form with Gaim later on.
