Thing is, I don't want to buy Ryugen by himself because I want to make it worth my time. So I'm waiting until Pine/Strawberry come back up.

I saw the strawberry/pine arms on Mandarake, had it in my cart and was checking out, but when I submitted my order, someone else had already bought it. Grrrr

Why is it transforming fruit armor is somehow so dang cool? O_o I've never watched the show and yet the toys I see for them and the fruit armor...

The Japanese are VERY clever. I hated the suit designs, im not even that impressed with the show so far (although the themes are growing on me) yet I've gone to great trouble to order as many of these figures as i can. It creeps inside your brain and you cant escape it. I love the concept, and ive no idea why!

They're definitely trying to expand the fan base to include more girls. The colors, designs and healthy food say it all. Parents are also happy because it teaches healthy food can be cool, though fruit and vegetables are already typical foods that kids enjoy in Japan (unlike the US where we grow into them as we get older). What kids eat green beans, peas and carrots.....

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

That's why everyone in Japan is so fit!

Make up your mind already!

It's fun, but with the way the threads read people treat the show like the second coming and I honestly don't see what is so special about it.

Mmm... are you ever impressed by any Toku show? I've seen more negative posts from you than positive lately. Just saying.

I try to always keep my arguments balanced, the rules of the universe is every positive charges needs a negative one after all, which often makes my posts come across as unintentionally negative. I think the last great toku show I watched was the first season of GARO, it's just a shame about that ending.
