I thought they were talking about MMPR Shieldless Green and Shielded Black.

No one credible has ever circulated that rumor. If it happens it happens. But please don't spread unsubstantiated info like this.

Last year the Bluefin guys hinted at a Zyu2 footage Shieldless Green/Dragon Ranger & Armored Black/Mammoth Ranger 2-pack. But even that was just wishful thinking from them, we have no idea if that's even what they were able to do. Though milking MMPR/Zyuranger is the likely strategy again this year.

If we can just get stands for Yellow, Pink, Blue, and Black, I'd consider it a win.

Can someone say metallic Zyuranger figuarts? :lol

I'd rather not.

Besides, Tiger/Yellow doesn't release until a couple of months after SDCC.

I'd like Metallic MMPR to represent that silly Season 3 upgrade. Not a fan of MMPR but I'd be all over a homage like that!

My sentiments exactly. MMPR isn't my thing at all these days. But damn that would be fun to have those stupid metallic "upgrades" :lol

Oddly enough I still hold out hope that one day they'll make the MMPR movie suits too. I love everything that's wrong with them and I don't care.

Why would they do GoseiKnight and not GokaiSilver? That just doesn't make sense.

Again it's unsubstantiated. I think it's more conjecture by people who are getting more and more concerned as to why the Gokaigers haven't been released despite Bluefin telling us it was happening.

Name one thing about SMF that DOES.

I recall when Bluefin did their own Q&A on twitter to fans, someone ask about the Gokaigers being release in the US soon and they mention something about it being likely. The female rangers are web exclusives and were made before Bluefin's deal on web exclusives were made.

Anyone know where I can find a decently priced Blade? I'm not entirely sold on Jack form.

I don't know, I haven't watched the show since the first episode. I'll get around to it when they start actually bringing in past rangers.

They have. The Red Samurai and Red Jungle Fury Rangers were in their respective season's episodes.

But has Tommy, LSR Pink, Time Red, TJ, Cassie, LG green, LG red, and LSR Red shown up yet?

We've known since last year, when the episode was filmed, that those characters are exclusively in the final episode. That's it. That's why people have been so upset at the shit quality of the show as is. They can't even be bothered to do more than a handful of cameos until the final episode and that's it.

Wow, so they filmed the final episode a year ago? That is kind of lame.

There's one on Mandarake for 4000 yen, one on AmiAmi for 3860 yen and one on Jungle for 4320 yen. NY has the rerelease still at 4200 yen.

Think that'd be a given. Not even including this as a full release, we need figures.

If this is the direction they take, then I wouldn't say no. But yeah, I'm kinda ready for something different.

Really? Bluefin said they're coming?
Don't you say those thing.......don't you say them unless they're true!:lol

Oh bs! That's weak, Saban! I mean, why even do it? It's like hyping up your mom or dad on a big show, just for them to have like a two second shot.....in a promo no less......:thumbdown

Honestly, I'm not a big Sentai guy, but knowing SMF wouldn't fully live up to the source material, I've given Gokaigers a look on YouTube. Man, I love me some Marvelous! The show is great. Now I see what you guys see in the Sentai shows. It's like Saban looks at the source shows and does everything he can to do the opposite. Just shit on the fans, and disrespect all those hard working guys on the Sentai shows. Ugh....once again, Saban sneaks salt in our Kool-Aid....which he'd put strychnine, so we wouldn't have to suffer these bludgeonings of the source material.

Now that I think of it, the only good coming out of PR now is the excuse to import mercy...like Bluefin PRing the Sentai Figuarts and bringing them here. I mean, I know a lot of the big shows are just gimmicks to sell toys (just about everything, Transformers, Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, ect...), but damn....

Found the new SHF checklist. Although I did just put the two together from http://www.shfindo.com/

I update my my merged blank copy every time a new one is put out. I just don't always make a post about it. But it's always at the same URL.

Bookmarked for future use.

And downloaded for immediate use.

dunno why but i want a SHF of the toku sailor moon

Woohoo! And Chalice just came in stock for me at Amiami! Just waiting on Ginga and a few other things now :D

I don't know if it's been mentioned here but CSToys will have Bujin Gaim for sale at it's release date. so if anyone couldn't find a pre-order, prepare for a flight to the finish for 1 of 6.

Not exactly toku related, but it is pretty interesting figuarts related. So I opened up my figuarts Cure Hear, and apparently she came with hand storage system like/akin Renewal Kabuto but for older and some current figuarts hand system that bandai has used in the past.

I'm thinking that's how I will have to get my Kachidoki since I slept through pre-orders. I'm still holding out hope, though, that AmiAmi will open them up again like they did Gaim and Baron.

What're the major differences between Decade Violent Emotion and regular Decade? I know the former comes with the standard version's head, but beyond that, I'm lost.

Violent Emotion Decade comes with of course the Violent/evil head look from the movie, as well as coming with a better looking normal scuplt of the original Decade head since the original release looked pretty crappy, he comes with set of hands for the K Touch when he is about to transform into Decade Complete, but not the K Touch it self, he also doesn't come with cards too, but you can easily print those out on the web since the cards are just regular papers as well.

Violent Emotion Decade is better choice since he has a better original head sculpt and price saving too.

The head it comes with is a more accurate head that is meant for the original release, but works fine as an alternate head for Violent Emotion, too.

Other than that he comes with a pointing finger meant to use with the K-Touch if you have Complete Form and lacks the set of cards the original came with.

So I can just get Violent Emotion and forgo the original version? Good to know.

Been considering picking one up for some strange reason.

Violent Emotion also has a more screen accurate magenta paint job, doesn't he?

At first I wanted the original Decade because I wanted my Decade to be original in terms of look for my collection, saw a video review of Violent Emotion Decade finding out he comes with a better head, I immediately jumped the gun on ebay and bought Violent Emotion Decade for 25bucks.

You could say Violent Emotion Decade was the first renewal version of a rider, even if it wasn't intentional.

Does anybody have any comparison pics of Renewal Kabuto next to some of the other Kabuto figuarts (minus Kabuto)? I've seen several comparisons between him and the other Kabuto figure, but I'm curious as to how the other Riders like TheBee and Gatack stack up next to him.

I don't see Bandai doing Renewal Versions of all of the Kabuto riders any time soon, if at all. The only Kabuto riders I own are Hyper Kabuto and Sasword and while I'm expecting Kabuto 2.0 to make them look worse by comparison, I don't want the difference to be so jarring that it becomes off-putting when they're on the shelf together.

For something that Bandai basically gave for free, I'm impressed by how high quality the folding screen is. The base you get with Gaim is also very nice.

I'm on the fence as to whether I should invest the time and money into tracking down a screen, but I'm very pleased with the base. Honestly would've preferred something more solid, but it's spectacular as it is.

The screen is realllly nice, it makes for the perfect backdrop for these figures. I was also surprised to see it was made from an amazing stock.

Also when does Zangetsu come out? Saw someone on twitter has him already :o

As I recall, Zangetsu is slated for the 21st.

The folding screen really does complete any Gaim display though, it's a nice piece that feels durable enough to survive multiple uses. I'[d say it's worth tracking one down if you're going all in on the Gaim figures, even more so if all you want is just the main 4.
