Really? Didn't think he was coming out until the 31st.

Are you trying to be sarcastic for some reason? Someone asked a question and I answered it to the best of my knowledge. I only ask because June doesn't have 31 days.

No, I wasn't trying to be rude at all. I was genuinely asking because I myself thought it to be another date.

EDIT: And right...I forgot that part about June :(

My apologies, sincerely. I've been inundated with passive-aggressive behavior on another site all day and it's made me a bit jumpy. According to the Tamashii site, Zangetsu and Sakura Hurricane are both 6/21.

Again, sorry about that. :o

Haha, it's quite alright. No hard feelings!

Ahh so just a few days to go until they're released, man after handling gaim and baron today I'm really excited for Zangetsu and Ryugen. Shame the line is so good though, after the main four I'm only getting Gaim's upgrade forms. I really can't get all the characters twice after getting the ACs haha.

It's great when we can all get along.

I think they came dangerously close to breaking the internet. You can't settle arguments like adults on message boards! lol.

I am anxiously waiting for the announcement of the first ToQger figuart. I wonder if they are going to try to incorporate the color change gimmick somehow

I'm gonna have fun finding Zangetsu on Mandarake... It just won't feel right only having three of them on that beautiful base.

So I just pre-ordered and paid for Bujin Gaim from Big In Japan. It's kinda odd as he is the first Evil rider I've ordered before I've picked up their counterpart.

In other news Tamashii is releasing the Cyclone 2 as well as a set consisting of a repaint of Shin Ichigo With a variant of said machine and Shin Nigo is getting a re-release.

YESSSSSS Finally FINALLYYYYY, I've been waiting for a Cyclone 2 for so long, I'm so glad they're finally making it!

Though I do hope to get the old style ichigo and cyclone 1 at some point in my life.

Amiami just requested payment for Chalice, Sakura Hurrican, & Zangetsu! Oh and Ultraman Ginga :o

I'm glad that Shin Nigo is getting a re-release. Rider figuarts that need to be re-release next:

Amazon
Knight
Ouja
Diend
Kamen Rider OOO Putotyra Combo

Can't think of anyone else at the moment.

I really hope AmiAmi puts more Zangetsu's up for sale like they did with Gaim and Baron.

This so much. I can live without Darkwing, but for crying out loud, Knight is too damn expensive now.

Man, jelly of the payment requests. My Zangetsu is in stock, but I'm still waiting on the final form lock seeds.

My Chalice had been in stock for days. I was afraid Ginga's sorry ass was holding me up :lol

Payment request for Zangetsu! So excited!

I have to exchange mine. The right thigh popped out and I don't think I can pop it back in.

Anyone needing a Zangetsu get one while you can...

So for those who have the Gaim figuarts, do the lock seeds pop out at a comments notice like Fourze's switches do? They look really easy to lose if they do.

Mine popped out of the Musou Saber a few times when I was playing around with it, but it seemed pretty stable in the Driver.

Mine have a tough time staying in the belts on Gaim & Baron but thats more because I have ham hands than anything :o

I think my Baron's lock seed sits a little looser in the belt than my Gaim but they sit fairly snug in there. I haven't handled them much yet so maybe that might change. The knife on the belt likes to come out of it's peg if you rotate it on mine as well.

The only time I really had problems with the lockseed coming out was taking them outside of the package. Other than that, no worries here, they fit surprisingly snug for me.

HLJ has pulled through for me again! SHF Zangetsu has dropped into my Private Warehouse! Finally, I can ship my Kiwami Lock Seed.

I just got my payment request for Zangetsu.

Goddamn it HLJ, I thought I had another week... Inconsiderate jerks.

Whoops wrong thread.

Didn't you comment yesterday about how Zangetsu and the series 8 Lock Seeds came out this weekend?

With Femme's release in November I'll only need the glorious Gai to round up my Ryuki collection :lol

Man Zangestu looks awesome

The Melon Defender alone is gorgeous. I'm pleased to see that they incorporated a handle-swapping function like with most Gundam releases.

Seeing as I'm only about 8 months into this hobby full-time, are Sentai figuart announcements usually this slow? We seem to get new Riders every couple of weeks but Rangers tend to have a couple of months between announcements.

More or less. Akibaranger helped push out figures much faster, but Kamen Rider is much, much more popular and sells far better. The Sentai Figuarts seem to be the poorest performing of their three big franchises, with few releases, a lot of exclusives and quick and heavy discounts. It's why a lot of people worried that the line had been completely killed off recently.

I don't expect to see Sentai at WonFes next month, but if nothing else, we should see the ToQGers pretty soon and I'm hoping for some more Showa guys.

I have to wonder how they're doing over here while marketed under the Power Rangers name. If they're doing relatively well, it's possible they could start putting them out as US/EU-first releases and then JP. Wishful thinking, I know.

I think any other Showa releases will be red rangers, but all that is going to ride on the how Akaranger sells

Well, he's still available on Amiami so right now he's doing about as well as any other Sentai Figuart.

ToQGer must be doing pretty well if we're getting pRemium bandai exclusive mechs.

It could happen, the DBZ and MonsterArts releases are pretty much just for the US at this point. But aside from MMPR, I doubt any of the Sentai/PR stuff would do significantly better than it does in Japan.

Akaranger seems like a bit of a test to see if fans will be more interested in the older stuff.

It first takes someone caring enough to make them sell better. If Bandai just puts in as much little half assed effort as they are for Sentai, they aren't going to sell well. If Bandai actually puts care and effort into marketing them, by doing thinks like releasing full team box sets, then I bet sales will pick up. They need to get their thumbs out of their asses and just start trying something. I'd rather they tried to do a few full team box sets and fail and stop than to just say, "OH, rangers don't sell, so we aren't going to do jack crap about it."

I want them to finish the Dai and Jet teams before they even poop out the ToQs.
