Can't comment on Agito though.

BTW, quick Yahoo Image raid yeilded me this:

:lol Dude not even close. If that's really supposed to be it, that's even worse.

The SIC set of JokerJoker and CycloneCyclone came with the perfect one. I'd go fish them out and post a pic comparing them, but I don't think it's necesary because seriously I can't believe you guys are even trying to say the W Figuart isn't totally off in every important way.

Even if you like it, you should at least be able to tell it's woefully inaccurate. You cna't just keep saying "I think" and "I feel" in the face of facts and pretend like nobody ever should ever want a better version of their favourite rider.

This is true. Black really got it good with the renewal, unlike Kabuto.

Agreed on the helmet part, I hate unhelmeted action figures because the headsculpts always look off. But there really isn't an excuse for the W helmet. BTW, why are act 3 tamashii stages so expensive? It's almost cheaper to buy a figuart that comes with one than it is to buy a generic stage on it's own.

I honestly have no idea what you are referring to here.

I did a google image search for 'cyclone joker' and it seems the majority of the images are either the henshin pose, or the pointing for the catchphrase pose, both of which the Figuarts does quite easily (not that they're complicated poses).

If you mean the CJ finishing kick, I've watched 6 episodes in the last couple of days, and they didn't do that kick once, so I wouldn't call it the most iconic thing W does, personally. And of course it's not going to be able to do that without a ton of extra parts, like the SIC comes with.

I'm not trying to fight here, I just don't know what you mean.



I'm not disagreeing that W could use an update, because it could, and I would buy one if there was. BUT, like with Kabuto before him, I don't find the existing figure to be so bad that I want Bandai working on renewals of figures we have, when NONE of Kiva's regular forms exist yet. Or Saga, which got a prototype and is a main enough character (and a great design) that I think he needs a figure. (blah blah blah Hibiki too, I guess, I don't personally care, but the same applies, in that it has NO figures).

I have ALL but two of the Kabuto figures, and I rather like them. They're lanky, they have bowlegged issues, but none of that detracts (to me) how good the figures look, and how easy they are to pose and display.

From my perspective, the existing W Figuarts do cut it, and I'd rather get new figures of characters we don't have yet than remakes of stuff we already have.

But if that's just me, fine, I guess you can all be wrong, and I'll stand over here in my corner by myself crying over the lack of Saga and the Checkmate Four and Kiva, Garulu, Baassha, Dogga and DoGaBaKi while you all enjoy the renewals.

Where exactly are you looking? Amiami has Act 4 stages for 960 yen and Amazon has them for $16. That's considerably cheaper than a Figuart.

Also, you know that's a set of 3 stands right?

It's a damn gorgeous box, far nicer looking than anything they've given us before now.

Nice! Hopefully the next figuarts will have this kind of box.

I dont think all SHF will be like this box now, it might just be this one. They dont plan on redoin all Kabuto figures so maybe just this once?

But who knows, I mean, Gaim would look amazing with that kind of box though...

Bluefin just said that they were unable to release Ryuuranger due to licensing issues. I guess the Jetman figures didn't sell and Bandai Japan said no or Saban step in.

I think it looks good. Big fan of doing the box that way, I can't tell you how much it makes me want to throw a baby when I bend those damn flaps on the regular Figuarts boxes.
