Where's this checklist, and where can I print one? I'd just like to dream...

Electric Turahk just posted one a page back. Have a link if you're lazy.

I dont have my S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim yet but I got a copy of Figure Oh which has Gaim in all its juicy glory on the front page.

AkibaBlue has arrived!

She's perfect. The head is loose, so it pops off sometimes while posting, but that's not a huge issue. The only problem is the holes in her scarves are two small for the peg, but I can widen them carefully, I'm sure.

OMG I love her.

I didn't know Blaster Form was getting a reissue. I didn't know it needed one, it's the cheapest one on Mandarake (or was a couple months ago when I got mine).

But anyway, I think it's a great figure, it has a ton of accessories, and I've had fun with it. In fact, I was just thinking earlier today that I need to bring Faiz, Kaixa, and Faiz Blaster in to work to have on my desk for a while.

I recommend you get it.

Also, AFAIK, Figuarts reissues are always just straight up reissues.

I usually fix loose neck balls with a dab of hot/superglue. But I'm used to using it on Joes, no idea how it'd work with Figuarts.

Season 1 AKiba Girls are known for loose necks :lol Not sure if it was fixed with season 2

My Akiba Yellow (S1) hasn't had any problems with the neck, just with two of the scarfs staying in. Could just be my luck of the draw though.

Not sure bout Season 2 though. I really need to get one and find out. That, and just get one cause y'know Akibaranger.

Thanks a lot for your info Ryan, I appreciate it as I am very new to Sh Figuarts.
But I now have about 15 figures within a month of collecting and kinda too fast for my liking haha.

I preordered the Faiz Blaster form (reissue) on AmiAmi yesterday.
I was even secretly hopping for improvement to it but I guess it will be a straight reissue as you mention.

Cheers!!

Haha, thank you. I must've missed it. Just thought there was something....Ahhh..nevermind.

What's a good way to unstick joints? The upper shin joint on Wizard isn't budging and I'm terrified of breaking it. Hot water work for these guys like it does for domestic lines?

Nope shock oil. Sentai Tamashii put up a tutorial on his Youtube.

Ugh... Of course it would require something that I don't have and would have to buy.

Noted in any case. Thanks Sideswipe.

yYou can get the shock oil from Amazon for $5.

Just got my first SHF last night (Ryu Ranger) and it's amazing. I was terrified of snapping off the wrist joints at first, but the hand sockets seem to stretch a bit after a few uses. I actually don't mind the shoulders, the armored look reminds me of Kiba Ranger's shoulder guards, which sort of makes sense, them being from the same series and whatnot. I just wish he had forward torso movement. Other than that, he's perfect. Looks like I'm falling into yet another rabbit hole.

I have both versions, They are all the same.

I have both versions as well, and haven't had any problem with loose necks. Didn't know that was an issue people had with them. The scarves to like to come off all three of my S1 figs, haven't messed with the S2 ones enough to know if that's a problem with them or not.

I BRoKE THE ANTENNA TIP OFF MY FANCY NEW GLOW STAGE KAIXA!!! AHHHHHHHH!

:'(

Also, I can't seem to find where I put all the accessories for Glow Stage Faix. :/

Does Bandai ever re-issue the bikes? I picked Agito back up again and I'm kind of wanting a Machine Tornader but holy crap is it expensive.

Speaking of bikes, I was amused to see they parked the rider vendor set in the midst of the motorcycle section of that Figuarts collection book I picked up.

Well if all goes well, I should be getting Kamen Rider 1 soon.

It's more of a "falls off easy" issue than a loose issue. I don't personally have much issue with them. I always took it as an intended design choice so people wouldn't break them.

After seeing the most recent episode of Kyoryuger…I reaallly hope they release Figuarts of the villains.

and I hope that Dogold is at least articulated

I'd love to see some of them come out as figuarts zero to be honest. After the fourze's villain line I think I prefer figures without the need for joints. Dogold and Chaos would look great

Where is everyone getting these catalogs? I want one. Who's leg do I have to hump to get a catalog around here? :D

Now that's lunacy. If they're no joints or articulation, then they're not figures anymore. They're....mini statues. Only in the case of Sally do I see a need for a Zero in a Figuarts pack. In face, I never really got the Figuarts Zero thing.

Lady Candelira OR BANDAI SHALL FEEL MY WRATH!

Well, in toku Figuarts' cases its either have it as a Zero or not get it at all sadly.

I've resigned to the fact that if Candelira, Dogold, Aigeron and the rest get releases they'll be ZEROs. And that's fine. I can deal with that. Long as DoGold is performing Zandar Thunder, Aigeron is saying That Stings, and Lady Candelira has her stage. Oh. SHE BETTER HAVE HER STAGE!

If they don't release Aigaron, they will FEEL MY WRATH too!

Put me down for a Lucky with swapable arms, one for watering the villains and the other for reading manta. I also need an Endorf holding his head. All of this needs to come out AFTER we get the remaining Kyoryuger, Deathryuger, and Torin.

I found mine on Mandarake for ¥1400. I think this S.H.フィギュアーツ コレクションブック 仮面ライダー編 is the proper search term, but there don't seem to be any on there right now.

Part of that is in kanji, chief.

Uh, yeah, you kind of need the kanji for Mandarake searches.

It's suppose to be. You have to search in kanji to find items on Mandarake, though there are some excepts such as typing in SHF.

Writing in kanji makes Mandarake searches easier.

You guys know about katakana, right?

Yes. But I am, by no means, a Japanese language expert. I pulled the script out of my order email. Whether it's kanji, katakana, or Greek, it's what the book is listed under. I was simply trying to help which was what started all of this nonsense.

Well, sorry for all the trouble. Guess il stick to Amazon, eBay & Image Anime. Thanks anyway.

You do realize you can use Google translate right? Or if it's for a series, go to it's Wiki page since it always has the title in Japanese characters. Hell if you're looking for anything you can just shoot me a message and I'll try to find it for you.

GRIDON!!! Coming in July, a Tamashii webshop exclusive.

He looks pretty nice. But I think his chest armor is a little too light as it kinda is blending into his normal suit colors. Outside of that he looks nice. I probably wouldn't pick him up though since he isn't one of my favorite rider suits of the show.

there is a god! a nutty delicious god! thank you Bandai! this is one of the ones I wanted. now for bravo, kurokage, and peach.
