The white lines always bothered me.
But that's actually a nice way to look at it.

I like them both. Joker doesn't need any additional accents.

I've adjusted my actual displays so I can do this W formation. I've changed Joker and W to their respective poses.

And I feel the reason for Cyclone's accents are due to the fact that outside of those white lines and the silver stripe, he's exactly the same as CycloneCyclone. Whereas JokerJoker and Joker have the exact same design but with a different finish. JokerJoker is fairly glossy compared to Joker's matted finish.

I've got a fever...and the only prescription...is more ShaUTA.

You want Blade, I give you Blade.

By gum, that figure is just too much. The end of the month can't come soon enough. Is it as nice in hand as all the pictures out there make it out to be?

It's near perfection. The range of movement in the hips isn't amazing but obviously enough for key poses, but in the shoulders? They engineered the hell out of the shoulders and shoulder pads. Everything can move up there. The one thing I'd like him to have that he doesn't is metal feet. Much like the Ryuki figures I think Blade could benefit from sturdier feet.

Damn that effect peice... If I find the preorder open again with the reissue, I might bite.

You're not making the wait for this guy any easier. If the loss of the metal feet is the only cost saving concession we have to make in order to have amazing items, I think I can live with it. Going to miss them though.

Amazon and BBTS still have preorders open for the bluefin release

If you haven't done it by now and still can PRE-ORDER THE HELL OUT OF HIM. US or JP release, doesn't matter, worth every dime. I was planning to hold out for the Bluefin release but wanted him sooner and paid 5000 yen for him on Mandarake. He is very much worth that price. I can completely understand why Japanese collectors are losing shit over him and driving the price up right now.
