At least it's still cheaper than going with Amazon, even with free Prime shipping. (Also I realized I had Samus preordered for that month anyways, so why not add to the order haha.)

If you do see him again, mind letting us know? I wouldn't mind trying for him. ;)

Understandable.

And everyone needs to stop rubbing in how awesome Ryuki is. :P Haha I'll get him eventually though... eventually..

Everytime I see the aftermath of a AmiAmi pre-order rat race for TamashiiNations stuff, I think to myself "Boy, am I glad I take my Tokusatsu business to HobbySearch or Amazon". Seriously peeps, you can roll out of bed easy and find those pre-orders open in the morning. Well, some sell out really quick like Super 1, but that seems more exception than rule.

This is why I often rely on anime shops and a couple of local contacts for my Figuarts. So far it's been stress free getting the stuff I want.

Toys are serious business.

Eh...it's just so useless, and so plain...

Again...I don't like it, because it's so useless.. and I don't like the grayscale color scheme. In terms of basic forms...hands down Ryuki Blank.

The only way I'd ever get a Plat Form Figuart is if it includes the Rider Broom.

Of course it's useless, it's barely even a form. It's a blank slate no-powers basically just protection from attack suit.

And it's really not that plain. It's like a Showa suit. It's minimalist with a teensy bit of colour on the head. It's got the train motif and a nice balance of black and white. I like it mroe than, say, gun form that's got like three-hundred colours awkwardly placed and all kinds of hanging-off stuff. Plat Form kind of looks, to me, like a ninja suit. Dark, close to the body with no shiney business and only the smallest hint of flare in his collar and boots. He just looks nice and basic but still detailed and characterful. (the lack of armour pieces and basic visor evokes a weaker, less bold personality)

You know, because it's so not greyscale on useless. (at least Plat Form's sword never broke)

Has the Denbird been released?

He could be a pack-in with that.

That'd be a good way to release the Denbird.
One of the biggest problems I've had with the Rider machine releases is that you're getting a static bike (Oh. Rolling wheels. That's revolutionary) for full Figuarts price. Packing in Plat Form would be nice.

Granted the bikes don't need to do a lot, but it's infuriating how many rider machines don't even come with hands for the rider to ride them. Want W to ride the Hardboilder? TOUGH.

That's just moronic, and another reason Figuarts aren't generally worth it to me.

I guess I should've clarified...I meant I like the design of Ryuki Blank more more, and Ryuki Blank is not grayscale. he still has the red eyes, and the suit is a faded navy blue. perhaps that's it though, I don't like a lot of the Showa suits. I don't like a lot of Showa designs. The only ones I do like are Super-1, Ichigo, Stronger, and Amazon is alright.

And no, I wish it was though. if Plat Form came with it, then I would get play Form. It's not like S.H. Figuarts to do that though. More recent bikes seem to be coming with bike hands (though Fourze's do kind of suck).

well Plat Form has gold trim and coloured buttons on his belt.
