I lost the Joker shoulder piece for my Luna/Joker :lol
It's no biggie to me, though. Since I always have the Luna/Joker figure displayed so that the Luna's stretch arm is accentuated and the Joker half more obscured (That, and I've only ever had all 9 forms displayed at the same time like, once. So I could also just cannibalize one of the other Joker shoulders should I have too.

Thankfully the Yellow fist I lost was her default closed one, which I have 5 identical ones of (6 when I get Christmas) :lol

Are the girl fists identical ? I keep the girl parts in a Seperate container from boy parts. ( this sounded wrong )

The generic hands are from what I can tell (closed fist, sword/gun holding etc). They both had a few "exclusive" ones though.

lol

I just keep all of the parts in each characters boxes. I mean, I am going to be keeping the boxes, why not store each figure's pieces where they belong?

I used to throw the boxes away out of habit. Now I keep all my ranger parts in a power range samurai sand bucket I found at party city and the hands in Seperate hot wheel car display boxes. All my rider stuff is in a plastic shoeboxes

Only issue is how you can quickly run out of space for boxes...

Currently, I have two clear storage containers full of nothing but FIguarts boxes.

Yes, but the figures can be put back into them, and because they are imports, it makes keeping the boxes a must. It isn't like MOTUC, DCU, or Transformers where the boxes are pretty much worthless cardboard.

Plus, the boxes look nice spined and lined up on a bookshelf.

Invest in a Sterilite storage tub. Anything 25 Gallon and higher will solve all your storage needs.

Ive never seen a reason to throw away boxes for any of my Figuarts or DX Mecha. You automatically decrease their value if you do that. And they're incredibly handy to have if you ever wind up moving.

So when are we ganna see all this new tamashii goodness hit amiami for pre-order?

Tonight most likely.

Thats what I like to hear! Hopefully I'll finally be able to get a pre-order form them...

Not to mention if you decide to sell any of them, you are going to have a hard time. I will not buy any Figuarts that do not include their original packaging.

I agree. Unless its rare and cheap.

Agreed as well. I learned my lesson a while back when I picked up a loose Souchaku Henshin that turned out to be in pretty rough shape. It was a decent deal but I hate having to keep track of his parts now.

I keep all my boxes for my imported toys. All others just depends on the item/character.

I recently sold a few toys on Ebay and now I have some cash to spend on Figuarts. I am currently watching Ryuki and like the show enough to consider getting the rest of the figuarts from the show to complement Knight and Ryuki that I have, but there's another part of me that would like to get some Showa Riders to go with the Super-1 that I'm gonna buy when it's released (I know Super-1 isn't Showa but still).

So what do you guys think, collect Showa Riders for nostagic reasons, or Ryuki because they look great together? Thanks.

For a start, my advice would be going for the Showa Riders. Demand for Showa always seems to be higher then Heisei, try to get it while you can now before stocks run low. I had some problems getting V3 the past month because everyone I saw had prices I refused to pay for.

Try Mandarake, they have many at good prices if you are not particular about box condition.

Whoa, this is news to me, Wild Tiger original costume version?? Sweet!

Woo! I've been waiting for this!

Hopefully Blue Rose, Dragon Kid etc aren't exclusives.

Be sure to keep refreshing the page when you can in the next few hours. Usually like within 15 mins of the hour.

Damn. Amiami sells out quick. Couldn't Ryuki or Epyon...

Thats pretty boss. I haven't see Cosmic Storm (forgot his name again) exclusive either. Pretty tempting stuff.

I sent you a PM.

I got my Red Hawk today and I'm super impressed with the amount of detail on the sculpt. I think it's probably the best looking Sentai Figuart to date. I would have liked if they included a stand too, since jumping/flying is such a big part of that show, but considering the amount accessories he comes with, I can't really complain. Unique stands for all 5 of them would have looked awesome though.

I've been planning just to stick to the Reds, but I'm seriously tempted to import Black Condor now too.

What about his elbow? Was Meteor's a random mistake or?

Yes..Inquiring minds must know.

Super glueing a almost 50$ action figure sucks

Wow, I think you Crasis'ed it, the Gauntlet is connected by the fist, just like a regular fist swap, not even like the limb replacing feature they had in Fourze. It's amazing the whole arm ended up broken!

Elbow? I know Meteor had his break, but I never understood what exactly he was talking about.

He's talking about Meteor the user, not the figure. And his broken Red Hawk.

Call me privileged, but my Tatoba's legs are starting to squeak. Should I be worried, or do you guys think that's just the fault of the plastic being a bit rubbery?

:cry I just wanted to put the wing gauntlet on....WHY ME LORD???

I am avoiding using that on my Black Condor and new Red Hawk.

Yes, be afraid...BE VERY AFRAID!

...actually my gills has the same problem. Makes me paranoid to pose his legs.

Why worry? just invest in a bottle of ShockOil

Both of you need to do a simple fix or the figures will break. Here's a simple guide:

PS Could we sticky this fix or something? This comes up to often in this thread.

my gills's arm did that, i just moved it a lot till it stops squeaking, i think i shaved too much cause it cause now the arm always drops :l

I know, the dude is sending me his AkibaRanger weapon piece, but I still have not understood what broke exactly. What gauntlet?

The Wing Gauntlet that comes with Red Hawk. When he plugged it in he snapped the arm off at the elbow. That's pretty much it. Wing Gauntlets were weapons that all five Jetman members had. They were like techno boxing gloves more or less.
