That's... substantial. Going to make standing him with Ichigo a bit awkward...

Thats really odd. With Ultras being taller its expected but its really awkward having Ichigo being smaller than Akaranger. Now the question is if they keep going at this scale for new figures or if Akarenger is the exception.

He just barely came out last week, so he should start arriving in board members hands (that used EMS or some similar quick shipping rate) soon.

He hasn't arrived for most people yet...

Mine just hit Australia. I'm soooo excited for him, but even on Express Shipping Auspost takes forever to move their parcels.

He really does look great. The torso and shoulder reason especially looks fantastic. I find it hard to tell that there's even a joint there in the shoulders. I really don't care about the height difference. It doesn't really affect anything majorly so I have no reason to care.

Here's hoping for the rest of Goranger.

The height does not bother me that much. As long he is not a broken mess like Flame Style is then I'm usually happy with my figuarts.

I think they put the rest of the body more in scale with the head (since the helmet was slightly bigger on the GoRengers). Which makes sense to a point, but at the same time, he looks really beefed up.

That (and I mentioned this on ranger board as well) maybe they made him bigger out of respect. Height is looked highly upon in Asian cultures.

The only Figuart that has been a broken mess is Zx. Flame Style had some issues, but nothing like Zx.

They look like a similar joint design to the Hurricangers, just with the V on the chest covering most of them up.

I wonder if we'll ever get a Figuart of Nigo's first suit.

We already did

And once again Winston was blind to something :lol

That one came out as a web exclusive a while ago :lol

The funny thing recet film of Taison and rider he wore that helmet and with recent one they went back to the one that looks just like ichigo

Holy crap a lot of stuff will be going live on AmiAmi tonight. Debating whether I want a V3, V3 & bike, or if I can do without either.

Oh wow, there really is.

I guess I'll get Shadowmoon? It doesn't look worse than the original at least... Although it still really, really didn't need a renewal... It's there, so why not? If I wake up. :lol

Well my Flame Style is so bad that he fall apart when you pick him up. His belt and lower legs come apart and he's a pain in the ass to put back together. It's a shame since he's a great looking figure.

It's a shame that while we've gotten the three major Rider 1 variants, we're still short the third darker-helmeted Rider 2. Would really like to see that one happen rather than have to choose between Shin Rider 2 or first appearance.

Picking Hibiki up, hopefully in a couple weeks at Frank and Sons. Is he everything I hoped for? Bravo delivered, one of my favorite figuarts I own, if Hibiki is good too it means all 3 of my favorite riders (Zolda being the other) ended up with excellent toys.

Woo hoo, got in Hurricane before it sold out initially. Threw in V3 as well.

This time getting the orders in really sucked, but there were only two things I even wanted this month. Scored Hurricane & Master Asia.

I only ordered both color Explosion effects. Nothing else really interested me this time around. Except maybe Gamera, but I will pass on him for now.

Or my beheaded Roborider.

Is that the real One? Ok, I need help. Can someone post a comparison pic of the different SHF Rider Ones & point out which is the genuine article? I want to get the most show accurate Masked Rider Ichigo to place him with Akarenger and so I'll have the firsts of both TOKU shows. Thanks.

I'm surprised Shadowmoon and V3 bike sold out so quickly, I want them but I wasn't particularly bothered I missed out on the preorders.

Did get my hand on the coloured explorosion effect, the grey set just sold out while I was looking at it. Not bothered with that again as I'm gonna plan to make my own smoke effects, glad I got the orange because that would be particularly hard to make myself.

Technically they're all the genuine article? Just depends on which one you prefer. The normal Rider one release with two stripes and silver gloves/boots is the one they regularly use in his comebacks.

Ahhhh, ok. Still, a visual aid would help.

Left is the shin/new version that appears in crossover movies and such, middle is the first appearance version and right is the Sakurajima version (which he wore when he first returned to the original series I believe)

How hard is it to get the first appearance version?

Damn AmiAmi was slow last night! Been a while since I've seen it that bad.

Got Shadowmoon in though. Yay I guess?

I personally prefer the one wit the silver gloves as the silver offsets the green. The other ones just have way too much green on them.

BTW, has Amazon shipped anyone's Hibikis yet? Just curious since both he and Saturn were supposed to ship yesterday, but I haven't even been charged for either of them yet. Not that I'm surprised, but still.

So has there been anything announced that makes this new Shadow Moon better than the old one?

From what I can tell its mostly that the new one is alot bulkier than the old one.

Renewal:

finally payed for kikaider and bravo from cstoys. now to wait.

After looking at it for a while I wish they added more to the renewal Shadowmoon, I'm not entirely sure what they could add as I've not properly seen Black but something a bit extra would have been really nice.

Also reallly excited for Kikaider, I just want to stare at his lil transparent brain module forever.

I hope they do a Kikaider Reboot-SHF somewhere down the road too, I like the Showa-design for what it is but the Reboot one is just better in every way.

Plus it would be oh so cool to get a SHF of the Violator version of Hakaider.

I'd love for REBOOT and Machine Violator designs to come later, just gimme Kikaider 01 and the 3 Hakaider Force repaints first :D

Do you guys ever get figures with slight defects that make the figure better? I just got Kachidoki and he has a lil nick in his crest but it just adds so much character to him.

I hope they also get round to doing Inazuman and other ishinomori heroes...also would love a normal clothes manga Jiro with a guitar.

Oooh yes, manga/anime Jiro (and Kikaider) would be really sweet too!

Just gimme all the Kikaiders! :lol

I second this!

i third it! also make a Bijinder figuarts along with anime versions of all of the cyborgs from Cyborg 009! also Skullman!

oh my god yes a skull man figure would be perfect! Oh speaking of skulls, would also love a figuart of Kazuya Taki Skull Rider yes yes.
