I still feel that the Fourze SHFs are pretty good, and the OOO SHFs that don't use the normal Taka head aren't bad either. Are they up to modern standard? No, but if you're just looking for decently detailed representation of the suits; they're still very adept at the job and for a great price too. You'll also find things that modern SHF would never dip into these days like the Greeed and Zodiarts.

Certain Showa Riders are fine too like Ichigo and Renewal Black & Shadow Moon. It really depends on your tolerance; I'd pick up a cheap Den-O SHF to test and see how you like it.

Interesting.

I put down a deposit back when SS Ixa preorders were open at Tokullectibles but they got their stock in, sent them out and yet I never even got an invoice to pay off the rest of my preorder.

Now I'm waiting to see if my invoice has been sent yet or not. Talk about frustrating.

Same here. I've been checking my email and my page on their site, but can't find any update about it and I'm seeing a lot of people getting them in. Not sure what's going on.

...Same here.

I wasn't aware they were coming in yet.

Doesn't it take a month or so after the japan release date for Tokullectibles to get their stock in? I feel that's what happened with my copy of Tajador, but then again I paid in full

That was because of the Bluefin release, which Ixa doesn't have.

Ah correct, well in the past I've contacted them directly through FB messages and they've been very responsive. Never hurts to ask

I did, they replied very quickly.

They asked me to DM them my order info when I asked about things on Twitter and haven't gotten a response yet. Though I assume since they told me most invoices went out that some are still being processed and emailed.

EDIT: And yep, that's pretty much what it is. They're getting their stock in batches so the full payment orders, of course, got prioritized followed by down payment preorders going in order.

So chances are everyone waiting for invoices will get something before month's end.

Hopefully, they've still set aside the figures for your orders and you'll get them soon. Good luck.

And now you can buy a corpse!

Lol

TFW I just paid for Horobi

Big mistake on my part. Hopefully I get dat christmas money so I can buy this jobber.

Premium Bandai by the way; pre-orders start on the 18th but no page is up yet. It's noted that in addition to a belt-mounted sword he also comes with a closed ridebook for accessories.

So, basically almost the same amount of stuff as Calibur. Hoping he'd just float around 6k yen, but he'll probably amount to the same price as Calibur, huh? Still, I'd need to get him if I want the ED shot.

I'll wait for the inevitable lowering of prices. Should only take 5 years.

Given how 'popular' he is? I give him 5 days.

Who knows? He might do a Jin.

Saber Figuarts in general I predict will fair quite badly in the aftermerket, just like Ghost stuff did.

Ironically outside of Seihou, Ghost and Drive are the hardest SHF main riders to get right now it seems.

Ghost and Drive figuarts prices have shot back up and hover arpund 5500-6000 yen from what I've been seeing

Well, a lot of them are pretty decently priced in amiamis pre-owned section.

The only ones from Ghost that are routinely expensive are base Ore, and Deep Specter.

Everyone else is around 3,500 or less.

Didn't Ghost Figuarts do bad in the aftermarket because of all the issues the mold had? (e.g. waist articulation, elbow articulation, weak waist joint, etc.)

Then again Saber Figuarts are doing that whole thing with the hands where you have to take off the top armor section and put them on other hands so maybe that'll be the factor that would make it cheaper in the aftermarket? Maybe, maybe not, just a thought.

On Mandarake?

It's that and how bad Ghost was being received during the show's run. It got so bad that during the show's airing I could sometimes find Ghost for 20$. Didn't grab it, since I too didn't feel like it.

Care to elaborate?

I think he means that the Saber SHFs are going to widely available/on a cheaper price on the aftermarket just like Ghost because not that many people are into Saber.

I'm not sure if the same occured back in 2016, but Saber's SHF caused Amiami's website to mess up again just like Zero-One. I think it's fair to assume that Saber himself won't sell bad, but I can see Blades, Kenzan, and Calibur maybe to be the ones that will go down in the aftermarket or at least be more available.

So basically what happened with the Zi-O line, minus Ohma

I'm not so sure about Calibur not doing well in the aftermarket considering how awesome that suit looks. Ohma Zi-O did very well even though his character wasn't fully fleshed out. Jaou Dragon, I think, would DEFINITELY sell (unless they screw up the cape).

Ohma also goes for high prices due to a limited release. It was part of some 'gold rush campaign'.

Cronus is also an awesome suit (I will hear no arguments on the matter!) and he is super readily available.

Oh so that's why.

Gamedeus Cronus on the other hand...

Yeah, but the rubber skirt sucked and he still fetches a pretty penny aside from availibility. I wish 3p released a wired skirt for him like the one that japanese customizer MadAngler made for his copy.

And yeah, thag gold rush campaign was crazy successful, but man did they make too few ohmas.

Gamedeus was like 50/50. The cronus in gold was nice, but the added spikes and shield made it sort of off putting. I'd personally get one as a stand-in for cronus, but haven't seen any online.

The eyes and red on brown color scheme killed it for me. I mean, yeah I get that they're going for a whole 'drunk on Gamedeus' power' theme for it but still.

I WISSH it was rubber, it is a hard candy shell plastic. SHFUpgrade did a cloth skirt for him.

Though you can routinely find him on AmiAmi for about 4,200 yen.

Really, i thought it was rubber? Wow, thats even worse. I know shfupgrade stopped making their skirts by now, so im probably out of luck if i do get cronus. Hopefully, other chinese upgrade kit makers have bootlegged the skirt like they have shfupgrades neo decade upgrade kit.

I never noticed the brown and red, and the eyes were fine for me, but yeah, now seeing that brown kills what little positives i had for the figure. I hope i find a reg cronus at some point.
