Cherry red. The lighting in stock images makes him look orange but he's red. Or at least it looks red to me.

Yeah I can see Accel's metallic shine making him difficult to photograph. But I can second this and say that it's indeed a bright candy red.

The one on my shelf is metallic red

Got a reply from Bluefin saying they'll be sending me the robe part once their staff return from a convention this weekend... Sounds good to me. ^_^

Me too.

Referring to Amazon's own price. I'm pretty sure I've seen them lower the price of Figuarts on preorder before they came out but mine didn't get adjusted.

This mother fucker finally came in the mail today.

And wouldn't you know it, mine also did not come with the Strike Wizard Robe bonus. What exactly did you have to do to get Bluefin to send you yours? I don't have an invoice or anything, at least not one on paper, should I print out the one I have on Amazon and get a picture of the bottom of Wizard's box?

Anyways, was he worth the wait? Well it's hard to say. I waited so freaking long to get this guy. Wizard is kinda special to me, it's the series that got me interested in the franchise, so I have a touch of bias there.

It is far far from a flawless release. Even ignoring how annoying it was waiting to get the thing, and the fact that the first release bonus was excluded at this time. I think he looks more or less fine, as far as proportions and whatnot go, the only complaint I have on that end would be his feet, they look and feel kinda big on him. General look, sculpt, paint and all that is just plain stunning. He is beautiful to look at. Quality control is not where it should be on a line like this though. It took me forever to get Haruto to stay attached at the waist, and even now I'm sure he'll wiggle in half pretty easily just moving him around and posing him. And yeah, the Wizardriver likes to pop off, though mine isn't quite as bad as I have seen (outside of when I get a deep ab crunch going). Accessory count is great though, there is a lot in the package. And this is also my first Tamashii stand, and it is pretty good, though I do not like how the claw attaches to the arm, it feels like it is going to break really easily. The thing looks really nice though.

jealous of all you peoples getting Wizard in.

Just take a screenshot of your invoice. And yes, take a picture of the bottom of the box.

My only complaint with the figure is how I simply cannot get him to stay together. Any attempted movement of the torso causes it to pop off.

Alright, thanks, will do.

Yeah, it's really really annoying because it makes it..not fun trying to pose the figure. It's like with Fourze how I am always worried about knocking his switches lose and then losing them so I try not to touch him too much.
