So anyone else other than me & the other people who did, pre-order Hibiki?

The same way nail polish or super glue does it takes up space between the ball and socket.

HLJ looks to be taking Hibiki pre-orders again, at least for the moment.

Dunno where to post this....but I just got my Nami and I am loving the face :D

That would be for the other Figuarts thread. So much delicious rage...

Well after finishing Paradise Lost I have one thing to say...where is a freaking Orga SHF?!

Crikey! Thanks!... I must've gotten a brain fart...:P

Lost. At the same convention as Horse & Wolf Orphenoc :lol

...

Well at least I can get the SICs and Souchaku Henshin :lol

I always thought Psyga was the cooler suit anyway.

It looks cool...when it doesn't have the giant ass jet pack on.

I actually like that part. Something you don't see in Kamen Rider a lot.

I still have yet to open my psyga figuarts haha, oh man I'd really love them to get Orga out already, then I can fully retire my Shouchaku Henshin faiz riders for good!

Was cleaning them as well the other day and it's funny just how tiny their heads are. But SH Orga is surprisingly still good looking, it holds up quite well with figuarts despite being shorter. I guess it's the compound eyes that help.

Btw I'm quite slow on the ball, has Leangle gone up for preorder yet?

Hoping my Kabuto arrives soon. Anyone else who went SAL see theirs yet?

Nope, still waiting on mine too. Should be any day now though.

I had some stuff shipped SAL from Jungle and CS. They shipped out on the 1st. They showed up yesterday, though I wasn't home, so I get to pick them up later today. Threw me off because I normally get SAL stuff in 10-12 days.

Hey so what's up with DekaGreen?

His aftermarket price has gone up significantly and he's becoming hard to find on Mandarake for anything less than 6000 to 8000 yen. Did I miss something here? The girls I got for substantially cheap (cheaper than I've ever seen them). And Blue is maintaining his price, and Red is still cheap. But Green has shot up. I can get him 6800 right now before shipping but that's quite a bit to finish my Dekarangers.

Probably the case with most Sentai figuarts: Green being the one most people need to finish the group but no one cared enough to put in a pre order, resulting in there being less of him made.

Hearing this…made me glad I got Dekagreen off a buddy of mine when I did.

The price was right, I paid about $60 each for the trio locally.

I noticed the same thing when I was looking for him the past couple of months. I got the rest of the team for pretty cheap (all around 4000 yen or so shipped) but Deka Green was scarce and expensive. When I saw one for 5000 yen on Mandarake, I did not hesitate to order it though after I did, one for 4500 yen appeared...but I'm just glad he's on his way to me now so I don't have to worry about it. Jungle does have one for 5400 yen for shipping and fees which is cheaper but still quite a bit more than before:

I beg to differ...I love having him soaring over Faiz...

So I just paid for Imperer (and Ultra-Act Gaia V1) at NY. We'll see if this goes as normal or if they move as slowly as some others experienced a few weeks ago.

Yep, it was part of the last major Tamashii drop a little bit ago. I think it's sold out at most of the Asian retailers but Bluefin's bringing it over so BBTS and Amazon have it.

(Correction - HLJ has Leangle still has it available for preorder: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN986697/Sci.)

Recently gained Kamen Rider V-3 & Alternative Zero! :D

Will be trying to make some photos of them shortly. ;)

Kyoryu Black and Pink come out this weekend.

I already got mine paid for! Just waiting for those two to arrive so I can ship out the rest of the team in one go. Absolutely cannot wait to get them in hand.

Any hand issues with Kyoryu Gold?

How do the Kuuga FIguarts hold up? I got a Pegasus because he was cheap, and he looks a lot more like a toy than a lot of my Figuarts but he feels considerably more solid than a lot of my Figuarts as well. Is that the case with all of them?

After watching Decade I kinda wanna get a Mighty as well, just so I have the most iconic form represented as I really do love the actual powers even if I hate the Rider and the show :lol

The Kuuga figuarts are pretty good for their age, even though they are kinda in need of a renewal in the was Agito's final forms are :lol.

Pretty well in my opinion. He'll obviously look a bit more like a toy since he is one of the older figuarts but don't let that be a turn off. He's a great figure and offers quite a bit of pose options do to his articulation. I love messing around with the guy.

Some pictures of the Gaim figuarts including Kurokage (with yellow belt sengoku driver)... some great wee scenes they've made there including the 2 v 1 attack on Baron.

Bear in mind, this is not an official reveal of Kurokage, it has been repeatedly mentioned throughout the blog thats in only a prototype. Although, the only thing thats probably missing is the just the official announcement, great to see its Hase as well.

god, all this kurokage stuff is just too much teasing. I hope there is a release soon, and if not show images of knuckle at least or maybe bujin gaim.

I only own Ultimate and Rising Ultimate, but both are quite solid. Not so great accessory-wise, but the figures themselves hold up.

Good to hear they hold up, especially as they go for like 2000 yen on mandrake. It's gonna probably cost me more to ship them across than the actual figure does :lol

Usually that's the case with figuarts that are pre-2012 dude, it's gonna happen a lot :lol.

Hey, look at the knife on Gridon's belt compared to Kurokage's. Are the knives on the Sengoku drivers going to be articulated just so that you can have them activating a finisher? That's crazy.

From what I've seen it's the opposite. The older a Figuart the harder it is to find one that is both well priced and in decent condition. Sure you might find a shit load of 1000 yen Mighty's but they usually clearly state that the figure has deteriorated from sitting on a shelf for like a decade.

Mighty Kuuga's gotten reissued at least once, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a mint sealed one. And at worst it could only have been on a shelf for half a decade, since it came out five years ago.

Yeah man I've found some decent ones for like 2000 yen, but with the shipping costs usually coming to about an extra 1000 yen per figure (without including handling or whatever and using the cheapest shipping options) I'm contemplating just getting one off of eBay as they are like twenty quid with free shipping there anyway.

They go for about a little under $30 on Amazon, and that's with prime. So that would get you free shipping and a speedy delivery.

Whatever works for you. Either way I would definitly reccomend it. It's a good figure for the prices it goes for nowadays. I admittedly only got it to be a buddy for my Decade Figuart,but it looks great and does anything you would want a Mighty Form figuart to do.

Honestly, I'd just wait for a renewal. You might as well at this point.

Why is a renewal gonna happen?
