I was about to ask Bluefin on Facebook whether they'd be importing the Wild Tiger exclusive crapsuit shown a few pages ago, when I noticed they'd already announced they were! Woo! I haven't seen any preorders up yet though. I'm really glad they're managing to get more of the exclusives.

I'm still trying to figure out how that could have happened...

It was the wrist band part of the gauntlet that hindered my putting the hand on. Typically I can grab a figure by the wrist and put a hand on. This time I had to hold it and the elbow and I guess it turned while I was putting it on and snapped the joint right off. I'm not saying everybody will have an issue. I just botched mine. I knew it wasn't a deal like the Fourze figure where it came off at the elbow.

You must've gotten a lemon, I have had to remove the elbow joint on a figuart before, and those things can take a bit of an abuse, I wonder if it had anything to do with the red plastic, which has known to be more fragile. Do you have any junk Figuarts that you can swap the elbow joint with?

Yeah, I do not remember the gauntlets in Jetman. I guess I know what Sentai series I will be watching the next time I watch one, especially now that it is fansubbed.

Meteor, did you ever post a picture?

No I didn't ,been a busy weekend. I fully intend on posting a pic of new red hawk chopping fake red hawks arm off. It's glued on for now. I am shipping out your jet winger at lunch today.

Just wanted to get your opinions on the following: Which figures do you think are the best female S.H. Figuarts?

Doesn't have to be a Toku character (I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the non-Toku thread in General Discussion).

Ixa. Easy.

He said female SHFs. :lol

If you act like it's Megumi or Yuri(?), then Ixa's totally a female SHF.
She doesn't need boob pockets on the chest piece to qualify as a female. Just ask Scorpio :p

AkibaBlue and AkibaYellow.

Guess which space-faring hero hero I found stuffed in my mailbox today :lol

Got Fourze Base State :D
Now I just need Decade and Den-O...

And Virgo proved boob pockets are optional for men. It's a beautiful world we live in. :p

The Wizard SHF is gonna be a nightmare. Either the hands are gonna be molded with each individual ring on them (Which sure as hell ain't happening), or the rings are gonna be modular (Each hand would have one ring band molded in, with each ring piece plugging onto it). So if you thought Fourze's switches were small...

I was thinking he'd have swappable fingers.

I don't think that'd ever happen.

Those rings are gonna be bigger than Fourze switches. Id say a generic ring band on each hand is right on the money. Its the only feasible way they could do it id say.

Rings are the least of my worries for Wizard. I want to know how they will do the "coat tails" without hampering his legs. I don't think the standard rubber plastic will work.

I think its more interesting to see if they make a 'Big' effects part down the line, and whatever other spells they can pull off in toy form. Connect would be pretty easy (if they go for a similar arm swap gimmick to fourze), and it'd be a missed opportunity on Bandai's part if they don't release the figures with a stand with the magic circles on them.

I've also just realized there's a chance that we'll get mini plamonsters too,similar to the foodroids, which would be epic.

Same thing as Deneb?
An actual fabric?
Dunno. *Shrugs*

I think the Gokai girls (yellow and pink) are pretty awesome, comes with Darin and plenty of accessories, the other one that gets my vote is Nadeshiko from Kamen Rider Fourze, she comes with a rocket!

I think they will have a swappable coattails - one soft plastic piece for normal standing, then one with hinged hard plastic pieces like the Sky High figuarts for action poses.

Or perhaps just the hinged pieces.

Sweet!

And I thought you hated Decade

I don't think so, his gloves don't change colors in his styles, so you can just take Hurricane's hand and put it on Flame if you want

I fear they may be like Takuto's, but I'm not as worried since: 1. He's not as skinny as Takuto and 2. His coattails arent as huge

It was less the forms, and more the auxiliary rings. Garuda, Kraken, Unicorn, Big, Connect, etc.

And I loathe Decade with a passion.
But he's a main Rider, so I'm gonna have to pick him up eventually :I

ONORE, DIKEDO!:lol

Hm...unless they release those with the bike and include hands for those

This

After watching the recent episode of Wizard, I need, need, NEED a Figuart of him! Based on what others have said, though, I worry about how they'll handle the rings. I'm really not a fan of what Fourze did, the switches just kept falling off and they were a pain to find.

I'm more worried that his coat tails will wind up being like Deneb. Big chunks that get in the way of awesome poses. Hopefully they'll be made of a nicer soft flexible plastic.

If there's one accessory I'd love to see for him is a sweet coat extension so he can do that Batman bit he did protecting Rinko. Awesome stuff.

Holy sweet mother Den-O sword form is an amazing figure!

Yes, yes it is. Can't wait for all the repaints and all the various remolds into other forms :D

Finally was able to complete the Akibarangers with Akiba Yellow. I had the loose neck joint on her that some people had on Blue, but nothing detrimental. But, man these guys look good together!

My blue has a loose neck while my red has loose scarves. They call out if you shake the figure.

I think having the rings moulded onto the hands is going to be the best option. That way his hands can simply be changed for the different rings and accessory packs can come with new hands for him, so it's not like they'd need to give you hundreds with the base figure.

This. So much this. Need SHF Liner Form.

I just want to upgrade from the Souchakus I have. And get the ones that havent been done at all yet (Nega Form). It still wont help me get 2 cheap Yuukis or Gaoh though :(

SIC Yuuki and Gao are Fandabbyabulous. I have Gao on my desk at work with me, right now (and Liner Form). SO PRETTY.

Finally got to take photos of them but these are my first two ryuki figuarts, both are my favorite riders of the show!
