Google translate is telling me that means Bock rear-Chelmsfold which of course makes no sense. Can anyone help quickly? Want to make sure it's not reeeeally broken.

Edit: I did decide to order it anyways because damnit I want Kurokage and didn't want to miss it if nothing's wrong. But yeah I would like to at least know what that really means heh.

Order status is still at "checking stock" but of course it's listed as sold out by now on the product page...

Thinking I didn't get this one. :/

But I don't see myself being able to acquire a Shin Zangetsu until the price drops to about half of what's being asked, and that'll probably be around 2020, so I just need Bravo now and I'll be good.

Also technically Bujin and Jinba Arms.

Despite being the most obviously used Figuart I've gotten from Mandarake (which still isn't much... just had clearly been opened, parts used, etc.) everything still seems pretty tight and solid on him. Just a few minor quirks, like the upper torso listing to its right slightly and he holds his Kagematsu a little loosely.

But I'm so happy just to have him.

Oh cool, plugged a Mandarake order for a few things and nabbed all three, including Knuckle & Type Formula.

Be careful about Type Formula's tires. I tried removing them from the arms and now they're loose/flop around a tiny bit, whereas they were very tight out of the box. I'm not sure if they're meant to be removed, as the instructions don't list them as such. I had asked if anyone else had had this problem, but no one answered.

FYI for people that haven't made orders for April web exclusives yet, Dragranzer's pages (plus the other April web exclusives) have had the order deadline updated to the 21st of this month. So it's four months ahead of schedule, like what happened with March's exclusives, instead of the previous three months.

Screw stickers on non-model kit toys, especially on collector-oriented ones.

That may be the case, but a big point (for me at least) with these figures is show-accuracy. Type Formula without stickers is not accurate.

That's where I'm conflicted. It looks fine without stickers, but it feels like it doesn't look as nice as it could with stickers. I'm also concerned about the quality of the stickers, since I haven't dealt with figuart stickers before. (And I'd probably do a bad job. :lol )



I'm assuming that you don't actually have the figure, since this is the same thing you said before it was even released. At the time your argument was that you didn't like the show, so the figuart was automatically terrible. (Because the quality of the show directly correlates to the quality of the figure, apparently.)

Granted, Type Formula does have limited arm articulation, but it's a very nicely detailed figure, and I think the arms were done as well as possible considering the design constraints. Type Formula looks very nice, and it's far from being one of the worst figarts ever made. (And I say that as someone who was pretty 'meh' on Drive for the most part. )
