I pre-order Marika and I'm glad that she is coming out in July which is enough time for me to save up. Has anyone know if Black Beet has a release date yet since February is almost over?

Toku taku is spectacular. He's more expensive than some but is a super cool guy. Great to deal with, fast shipping, and very helpful.

I don't know if want Marika and Siguard anymore...when they were first revealed I did want them to complete the Energy Riders but now I'm not really feeling it. Maybe it's because of the Avengers Figuarts reveal that caused me to shift my focus. I've kind of moved away from Toku-related Figuarts recently. None of the Sentai releases interest me too much and haven't gotten into Drive yet either.

Once apon a time I wanted to get as many Gaim Figuarts as I could.

Now I'm even debating getting Gaim. Just too damn late for me to give a damn.

The only Gaim ones I have an interest in getting are Ryugen, the Zangetsus, and Marika. Everything else I'll just get in AC form.

Bah. Screw N-Y when it comes to ToeiHero exclusives. They went and did the exact same thing again. I request an item, they leave it a few days and then put it up without notifying me to have it immediately sell out.

So seeing as I only need Bravo to complete my Armored/Sengoku Riders, I can't decide if I should go for it NOW while the prices aren't completely agonizing, or wait and see if the prices drop and stabilize like they have with Wizard, or Gokaiger in the buildup to SMF.

same for me but with bujin gaim

isnt black beet a march release? i remember there being a 1 month gap between releases!.......

Yeah just double checked my NY order and he is a march release and reddle and gstag are may releases

If you're asking for the March release date, dude give it a few days. Release dates for the next month's stuff gets listed towards the very end of the previous month. It should be listed within the next few days, though I wouldn't expect NY to ship theirs out towards the end of March anyways.

If you're asking for the month of release...

Yep, Black Beet is a March release.

Just curious (since I'm so obsessive about keeping everything in order) but how many previous figures do you guys see them remaking w/ the type-2 body? Would they only be under the Shinkochuu Seihou line or would they just be the new standard like Gaim has set? (Really I just want all 10 Kuuga-Decade Heisei Riders to have the same style of box for display purposes with W onward all having unique boxes; unrealistic, I know ^^; ).

This is going to be an expensive year...looking over what I have preordered up until July its averaging $200 a month just on figuarts and exclusives.

:cry

How easy is it to replace the hips on gokai red just had the left leg on mine snap on me :( looking to fix him and I've seen it's a common issue! Anyone have any pics of how to replace it? Also anyone here have a junker hip area?

I think it's the Gokai males in general. For me, the problem is with Gokai Green, and I think timewoven on the Sentai Figuarts Tumblr had an identical problem. Alas, I've no suggestions, just commiseration.

Phantom Stranger had the same thing happen to his first Gokai Green.

All this has me VERY concerned for my Gokai Blue...

Yeah, my GokaiGreen's hips broke but I got a replacement for like 1500Y. My GokaiRed now has the same looseness in his hips Green had when they broke, so I am worried. Not to mention I'm considering selling off my Gokaiger Figuarts collection, so I will need to make sure to mention to the buyer that Red runs the risk of hip breakage.

Huh, I guess this is why my GokaiRed seems so loose in the hips, too. It's a real shame.

... Now I'm really concerned.

Received a payment request for Shadowmoon this morning.

Completely forgot I had him preordered...

I didn't order him, but I completely forgot that was happening. I checked the Tamashii page recently and it didn't even register what I was looking at, at first.

Welp, Hibiki's left wrist post just snapped off inside the closed fist. What do I do?

Oh hey did anyone realize Drive Type Technique went up on Nippon Yasan already or am I just late to the party?

Same here. Now concered about my only Gokaiger, Gokai Green. Plus still on the fence on getting this Gokai Red I saw on Amazon for $68 Primed. Only one left.

Now I'm worried. One hip on my Gokai Blue has always been loose.

My Gokai Silver has always been pretty normal with the hips. So yeah, can't say I relate.

My girls are okay, so it must just be a guy problem

My Gokai Silver has topple over one to many times, but nothing feels loose on him.

Hey, has anyone done comparison pictures with both Shadow Moon's yet?

Is Shadow Moon renewal worth the update since I had the original since he got reissue over a year ago?

Thanks.

Went and preordered him :D

Did Type Wild went up for pre-orders by any chance?

Hmmm, other than the feet and the color of his jaw area, I'm not seeing any differences.

The square panels on the thighs are more pronounced, and the little green dot on the right side of his belt buckle appears to be missing.

The renewal has a broader body from the looks of it. Shoulder and hip joints are better hidden, neck is a bit shorter.

What was the reason behind the remake anyway? We're there major problems with the original?

1. A new team of designers are picking up the line
2. Bandai has found a way to get more cash
3. There are people who are not happy with the proportion of the old figure
4. Lifetime for the material used by the old figure is running out and will breakdown very soon

While I can see the differences quite clearly now, I'm still not interested in picking the new version up. I only got the old version when it was reissued and it still holds up extremely well.

Also the renewal can't do this :p :lol

Gives a new meaning to the term "Rider Thrust".

Eh, I got the Renewal just because I never got the original so I figured why the hell not. I do like the suit anyways.

I'm... confused by your fourth point. Are you saying the old ones are going to start crumbling apartsoon??
