I hope to own it one day. The places that have it in stock are asking way too much. Having just paid for Baron Lemon, I'm beyond my limit already. Hopefully it deflates in time.

I hope it deflates in time too, I'd really like to have two. 3000 JPY is probably the best it'll be, and I'm thankful to get just one. Sometimes I wonder what I'll do with all the stuff I buy, but I like to get as many of the effects as I can. I still need to buy some of the fire ones.. I'm going to need them to go with the magma stand for some awesome Hibiki pictures. Once I start taking pictures.. lol. >.>

It's pretty decent. As far as I know, there haven't been issues with it like how some experienced with one of the Gavans, but the wrist joints still make me cautious (they seem thinner than the average Figuart's). Aesthetic-wise, the red chrome looks great. Not much accessory-wise though.

awwh whaaaaa, okay now it's totally worth it and now I want it and I can't afford it now and damn mannn.

Thinking about getting Flame Style Wizard just because I'm a bit of a completionist. Are the problems really as bad as people say or is it just disappointment based off of Figuarts standards? I'm not one to nitpick and generally speaking, I can find a lot of enjoyment with even flawed figures, but Wizard does kinda bother me proportion-wise and I'm hoping that in person, at least some of those flaws are not as bad.

Well the pegs on mine are so terrible that he falls apart when you move him. They won't stay on when you swap out the legs because I originally had him in a kick strike pose when I got him last year. Not to mention the belt on mine won't stay on and you can lose it easily too.

Besides those two problems, he is a very nice looking figure since the details on him are great and the red shine on him looks fantastic. He's my least favorite S.H Figuart in my collection and I can't get rid of him because no one would want something broken as him. Flame Dragon and Infinity Style are big improvements luckily enough in my opinion.

I got lucky with my Flame Style. I got him secondhand off Mandarake and I guess the person who had him previously made some improvements because I have never had a single issue with him. I realize that makes me about .01% of the Flame Style owners, but sometimes you do luck out.

Edit: Speaking of lucking out, I finally scored a Machine Tornador at a decent price, though it ties with Baron Lemon for my most expensive SHF purchase that is not Itasha Robo.

The proportion issue may be a personal thing; I honestly didn't notice anything off about it when I got mine. I guess if I stare at it long enough I'll see what other people do, but it's not readily apparent to me.

I'm also one of the few who got a solid Wizard Flame Style. No looseness or floppiness or anything else QC-wise on my end.

Feet and head are too big

I wonder how many Shinkocchou figuarts we will get? This year we got two (Kabuto and Hibiki), so I hope we could get like three next year (Kuuga, Agito and Kiva). I know that the Shinkocchou figuarts cost more to make, but I would like to see the final forms of Kabuto, Hibiki and maybe Kuuga get a Shinkocchou version.

Shinkocchou? What is that?

BTW, my B&N did a major restock.

They had the five ZyuRangers, the impact craters (both colors), Android 17, Goku, all of the Sailor Soldiers, Adult Jr, both versions of Wolf Predator, Big Chap, and the the MA building/beam set.

That's what Bandai/Tamashii are calling the renewal/premium line (i.e. Kabuto renewal and Hibiki).

Strange, but okay.

BTW, I need to clear up some confusion about the upcoming Cyclone release. Isn't the bike supposed to come with parts to swap it out so it can be Ichigo or Nigo's bike?

Ah thanks, after the movie I kind of want to get it.

Where are these FiguArts people are seeing at Barnes & Noble located at? I only see Funko Pops at mine.

They'd be in that particular section wiht all the other "collectible" merchandise, such as the trading cards, Gunpla, board games, vinyls, etc.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be universal as to whether or not a store will carry them.

No. One version is with the 2-pack and the other version is a single release.

I forget what are the main differences between the two? Is it just paint apps?

Thanks, mine doesn't carry them at all then. Such a shame since so many people in my area have asked me where to buy SHF figures and have generally become Toku fans cuz of me. It'd be nice to have a physical store we can go into and pick stuff like that up.

I think I've only seen DC Direct stuff being sold at mine aside from trading cards and Funko items.

Pretty much.

So I have to get another Ichigo? God dammit!!! Thanks.

Most of my stores that carry them seem to have them behind the giant command center Kindle area. They have all kinds of items be it Figuarts, MonterArts, Lego architecture, games, Games of Thrones figures, these retro styled toys for various series such as Alien, Classic Monsters, Slasher Monsters, Firefly, etc, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokemon cards, model kits, etc.

Has the Shinkocchou Kuuga been put up on Amazon yet? Searching for it just gives me all the old ones so I'm thinking it's not, but never know for sure.

Right here matey.

So.... My Shinken Red figuart's leg broke off. Now all I need to get is a 1:12 scale wheelchair and a beard and I shall have Old Man Takeru.

What's with the $91 one? The estimated delivery time is from Dec. 12 - Jan. 6 yet he doesn't come out until April, right? Is it a scam or what?

Either that or somebody messed up with the dates.

So..... Yeah, Shinken Red had a little accident.....

Just get him a crutch and say that he lost it in battle :lol

So I just got one of my favorite riders, Kamen Rider Double:

Silly Takeru, the sword is suppose to go in the sheeth not your leg. :lol

How?!
*looks fearfully at Shinken Pink*

OMG, the same thing happened to my ShinkenRed last week. I changed his pose and when I moved his legs, the peg snapped. The same leg and everything.

Fortunately, Amazon still had him, so I got myself a replacement.

Seems Shinken Red is having the worst week ever. My SSR lost his shoulder pads. Still deciding if I should send him back or keep him.

Would anyone like to see Shinkocchou Figuarts of Kamen Rider Ichigo and Nigo from The First/The Next? I know fans don't like those two movies, but I do dig the suit designs from those movies. The original S.H Figuarts for those two movies look like happy meal toys now compare to the new Rider Figuarts.

I wouldn't mind them as long as it is after we get everyone else like Agito 2.0, Decade 2.0, Gills 2.0, Gatack 2.0, Kiva, Ixa 2.0, and Ibuki.

If they made renewals of them, sure I'd pick them up.

I think the S.H Figuarts of Kamen Rider The First came out in 2008 which where like the first Figuarts made. If you put them next to the Gaim figuarts, they really do show their age.

Random, but I just paid off my November NY order with Femme in it and I immediately started wondering if it would ship before my Bujin Gaim preorder from NY (which also has Kurokage included).

Don't know how I missed your reply.. Just came back to ask again. :lol

Thanks!

Just placed my order. But for some reason HLJ won't let me log in to their site! So I can't seem to cancel that preorder. >_<

These turned out nicely.
