Kuuga is hands down one of the best Kamen Rider Figuarts in a long time. Not a single piece of bad paint or quality control issues at all. I can not wait for Agito. My only nitpick is he didn't come with a booklet like Hibiki and Kabuto did.

Isn't that also Fourze?

Kind of Kengo was going to use the driver himself until he gave it to Gentaro due to his health not being the best

Figma Knight came in today and I must say he is very nice. He's probably the best Figma I own so far as the quality and articulation on him is so well (I did buy mine used, so there is some looseness, but not too much). That cape though, just amazing. The only con I've found is that the torso seems to lean down to the left some. I don't know if it's just mine or because of the rubberish suit, but it is a bit effy. Outside of that though, very good figure.

It always bothered me how gimpy the Figuarts Wing Lancer was in comparison to the Figma version.

But I guess that's the advantage of not having to work in attaching to a giant bat.

And FYI, that cape is pretty soundly superior to the Figuarts version as well. Sits flush to the back and isn't a solid, heavy chunk of plastic. If only they'd put the wire along the sides rather than the bottom...

Interesting.
I got Figma Thrust about a month before I got SHF Gai. I thought I'd never see Gai at a sub-$100 price, so I bought it, but even at $15 I didn't enjoy Thrust much, and was happy to get Gai, when somebody hooked me up with him for $80-$85.

I don't remember now what complaints I had about him, but even before I got Gai I didn't think Thrust displayed well with the other Ryuki Figuarts. i'm glad your experience is better than mine was.

The DK figmas are good to great stand-ins for the Figuarts. A bit softer on the details, but they have a more human build as opposed to how lean the Figuarts are, and they do a good job of looking like the actual suit (until you look at the back of the hips, anyway). You really don't lose much articulation either, except maybe some neck movement and, of course, the ball jointed wrists.

I parted with Wing Knight simply because Poe needed one and I got the Figuarts Knight not long after I acquired the Figma thanks to Jungle.

Yeah, the DK figmas aren't bad alternatives to the Figuarts at all, especially for the pricier characters, however they aren't quite as well detailed as the Figuarts. Plus the accessories for some of them can be lacking.

Wing Knight does have a far, far superior cape to Knight though. I really wish Figuarts would use more capes like that.

And you just reminded me just how much I need to get a Meteor. Lol. Nice shots.
