This is to be expected, if you look at the figuarts from wizard-ghost you'll notice that the head sculpts are slightly off on the promo shots compared to the final products.

Are they? I never noticed this and I'm looking at these pictures a lot :lol

And looking at this one again - I don't think the headsuclpt is different, it's just the natural lighting that makes the head look better. Mostly because the rather crooked orange eyes are not that visible anymore.

Keep in mind they're very small differences like Gaim's visor looks a little narrow in the promo pics, The grills on Baron's eyes are definitely thicker on the promo pics than on the actual figure, mashin chaser's head look kinda weird in the the pics vs. the real figure. The most obvious one is wizard though.

I guess you're right, but looking at this picture more up close it really does seem to be the lighting, if I zoom in a bit I can see that the orange part of his eyes are still off.

However if that picture represents the look of the figure in a realistic light then it might not bother me so much in hand. Good thing that Ex-Aid gets released through the three pack a month early, I’ll have enough pictures to look at in order to decide if I want to pick it up in April or not.

Just put in a preorder for Amazon Sigma. Can't wait to have this guy kick Omega and Alpha's asses

Did anyone happen to use Nippon Yasan to buy SHF x UA Ace Suit? Mines been "in preparation" for 2 weeks now and wondered if anyone has had theirs ship.

My middleman I have Hawkeye & Ace ordered with said TN's not shipping Hawkeye out until February despite wanting payment in January, so I'm guessing Ace is in the same boat. Someone at TN seems asleep at the wheel on those two figures.

Maybe they’re doing this "sending stuff out in waves"-thing again? I got my Ryugen Yomi a month after everyone else for no reason too.

Looks like it to me. Look at the picture above him, looks so squished and the accuracy is on par with figuarts from the early 2000s. The new one looks very accurate and now I regret not preordering the MAX 3-pack (which from the pictures I thought Ex-Aid figuarts would be inaccurate, ugly and Ghost all over again). At least HLJ might still have some...

They always seem to have delays. When Necrom was released I recall my friends waiting forever for him to finally getting shipped out. Weird.

Is that what I think it is? Hnnnnnnng

Yes please. Please gimme. And please don't be web exclusive.

About damn time.

Is that..LAZER LVL 3 FIGUART?!?

No. It's Level 2.

To be honest I'm not that excited about Lazer specifically but more that they finally do some more Ex-Aid stuff. Gives me hope that I might see Genm Zombie Gamer before the year is over.

Smart-ass. :lol

Well one is a bike and the other a Rider so that's a considerable difference right there :lol

It looks like there are some seams there, so I'm wondering if they're going to give it some transformation in the vein of Autovajin. Maybe the Chambara Gamer limbs will be included as accessories, without the necessity of turning them into the mini-gamer? Fingers crossed, but I'm also okay if it's just a bike.

I don't really see any seams...I'd hope not, anyway. I don't think it'd really work with the Figuarts. The bike would end up too small, like the LVUR, and I can't imagine how they'd make the head work well and still have it look accurate to both forms.

I don't see it happening either.

What I do want to see happening though is a new Autovajin once the Shinkocchou Seihou Faiz comes around :)

Preferably not transforming, yeah. I mean I love my Figuarts Autovajin, but today, I compared it to the actual suit from the show and... yeah. Given Shinkoccou Seihou's commitment to accuracy, I suspect it couldn't transform.

Quick question, since Bluefin isn't apparentely releasing Alien Melifas to the US I'm ordering him through Nippon Yassan. However, what's the difference between UPS Expedited and UPS Express Saver? Exped is 9000Y and takes 3-4 days to arrive while Saver is 3000Y and takes 1-2 days. Why would Exped be more expensive but take longer?

Got a second Shocker Combatman from HLJ.

Aaaaaand his wrist immediately snaps off.

Perfect. :(

I can't wait
 

I can't wait for these to arrive! Aaaaah I've watched so many reviews- they're so cool!! ^0^

Question, Bandai showed off Renewals of some of the Showa riders, right? Or am I going crazy?

Do you mean Shinkocchou Seihou? If so then yes, they had a Shin Ichigo on display at the Tamashii Nations Event last October:

But we haven't heard about it since and we don't know if they continue doing Showa after that one.

Okay, thanks. I was looking for that picture. I'm just going to take the chance and sell off all of my Showa riders then in hopes that they will do them in SS. And if they don't, then I just won't own that rider anymore.

I can't wait...^_^

I thought Necrom already got released? Because I already have him. *looks at collection*

Indeed- I just ordered him.

I actually think, because of how much smaller his belt is, that he'll have better articulation than Ghost or Specter. REALLY excited for him.

What I'm really looking forward to is teaming him up with Psyga, because their helmets are kind of similar- so they'll look good together.

My OCD hates Psyga. Peronal taste hates the pink on him. XD

I think Decade's Decadriver might look nice on Psyga. ^_^

*cringes at the mention of Decade* Ugh.....Too much magenta. :lol

Yeah, Decade's suit I'm not a huge fan of, but I do like the Decadriver- I looks like a MMPR morpher on steroids.

My absolute top # 1 favorite Decade form is Faiz Axel Decade- because the decadriver looks soooooo darn good on the Axel Suit. ^_^

But... looking at the figuart, I don't see pink, just purple.

That's what I thought too. lol

The next villain release in the Ultraman line is Gomora retail release for July.
