All I know is when I ordered my v3...it arrived in 5 business days...

Yeah like I said...my case may not be the norm. It's been 3 business days (not including yesterday) and it still hasn't been shipped out :( I want my Knight, Ouja and Zolda so that I can almost (and will one Gai comes out) re-enact the scene in episode 20! /whine

Oh with being new to the ryuki molds...watch the elbow plugs, the fall out way to easily.

I think the ball join in my fem red's arm missaligned. I can feel some friction more than usual now than when I first got her.

I'm afraid to open her up because she so expensive.

From Bluefin's FB page:

I wonder what they're doing next. I really want to see them do a kid figure. I think it would be a really interesting to attempt. How do make a Goten or Trunk? Does the size limit its articulation? Hows the pricing? I'm excited!!!

They could do a three pack. Goten with SSJ parts, Trunks with SSJ parts, and then Gotenks with SSJ 3 parts. Just a head swap for each figure. But imagine the awesome inside that Figuarts box.

Look who I now have:

Nice! Mine is supposed to arrive Saturday...hopefully. I do wish he would have come with Venosnaker but eh, what can ya do? How's the purple in person? I've heard it's fairly light due to the metallic paint.

Yeah, it is light, but I was expecting it to be so since the Soulchaku Henshin one was as well.

It's much lighter than Sasword, which I posted in some other thread here, but I'll do it here for the fun, too.

The 'problem' with Ouja's paint is they put the purple down on top of the silver, that's why it's lighter. The stuff on his arms and legs was applied over black, and is perfect. Between the two,

Looking at the two on my desk next to each other, the purple on Ouja's legs/arms is the best of the three shades. Sasword's is too dark comparatively.

Just one sexy figure.... grrr...

here's the url I bookmarked and checked every day for a month or more to find him.
Sasword on Mandarake

Guys, will you convince me to buy a ryuki? I love everything about it. Its just his eyes stick out too much.

what do you mean his eyes stick out too much?

Idk, I just don't like his eyes. I feel like the stand out too much. Is that how ist supposed to be? I ne er watched ryuki.

oh Ryuki... My gateway drug

I adore this figure. My first Rider SHF ( along with Black RX )

I really need some more spare time to watch his series , because right now he is Dragon Knight in my head and i barely remember anything about that show.

I don't notice the eyes on the figure at all. They're much more noticeable in the show. I think that bottom picture is representative of how it looks in person, I can barely tell that there's any red behind the visor at all.

When they release Ryuga, I hope they include a glowing eyes alternate head. I loved that menacing factor it gave him, especially when he was in the shadows at first.

What are the chances for a Tachibana Figuarts?

Oh man, that would be great. I'd love to have a Tachibana Tobei to go along with the Showa Riders!

Or you meant the Fourze character, about whom I don't give a damn.

The Fourze Tachibana is awesome :P

He's had his moments, but when he's not on screen I tend to forget he exists.

For me, he's pretty much my favorite character behind Kengo. I love the brief snippets we'd get of him talking with Ryusei.
That and his helmet is awesome. :P

Went to a toy show today and to my surprise one guy had some Figuarts. Mosty One Piece Zeros but they did have a KickHopper for $30 which I picked up. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the mold or not but the shoulderpads don't want to stay down completely, they just pop back up. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Tell him to think of baseball? Lol my Agito has same issue. Good price for a great figure btw

Yeah, I was really shocked. They also had Agito Ground, Kuuga Mighty, Gatack and Nigo/Rider 2. Passed on the others as I already own Kuuga and Gatack, haven't gotten around to watching Agito yet (and the accessory count also, insert .gif here) and I would rather have Ichigo over Nigo as I prefer the silver to the red.

I have an example of all the main riders save G3-X...Ground Form, Gills, and Another. Of the cast, Ground form is the weakest, but still not a bad figure. Another has to be one of the coolest figuarts ever made period, and Gills just has the most fun accessories. Hit by blog and you will see what I am saying (plug). I have been tempted by Trinity though...

Agito's design just doesn't do much for me and I have no attachment to the character as I've yet to watch the series. This may change when I get around to it but from the sounds of thing I'll more likely be interested in a G3-X

Well I got my Zolda, Ouja and Knight today from Anime-Island. I'm still waiting on my Magnet States Fourze that they shipped out seperately (they sent all 4 figures in seperate boxes for some reason) but I should have that this afternoon or tomorrow. Gotta say...the purple on Ouja doesn't look as light as I thought it would!

SHF Krillin and Android 18 CONFIRMED!

Blurry pictures but still (and on Facebook... meh):

Android 18

Krillin

EDIT:

And just as I post this Bluefin themselves post this:

SUPER AWESOME MEGA FUN LINK

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FRIEZA!!!

aaaand it's probably too late for me to dodge the DBZ bullet. Guess I should take Trunks off my sales page.

Nappa and origianl Vegeta

HRRRRNNNN. SO regretting not getting into the DBA figures sooner.

Doesn't Bandai do this with a crapton of other Figuarts?
Appearing in a showcase isn't a guaranteed release. After all, Kamen Rider X was showcased, like what, 3 years ago?

Bluefin is not Bandai. They promised 5 DBZ reveals, and that's what we got. And when they reveal something, it means it's probably going to be made and sold. They're the ones distributing these in America after all, methinks they'd know.

Also, went ahead and mirrored these so they can be deep linked:

(The last one's there just because it's an awesome scene.)

They promised us 5 new dbz figures after cell. krillin, 18, vegeta, nappa, and frieza. Hopefully they release goku soon.

Dat Nappa face :lol

Considering Bluefin is a driving force behind getting the DBZ Figuarts made, I'd say they have a good chance at getting released.

I also just noticed the stickers on the case. :lol

That's good to know.
I'd hate for DBZ fans to feel the pain of getting a figure showcased and then never released.
