I figured, since OOO eventually incorporates the Mighty Morphin Power Coins, I may as well throw Birth into this.

I may not have a Dragonzord but...

Love that dragon ranger summoning pic

I've always found it difficult photographing with red and blue backgrounds. I'm still trying to get the hang of black and white :). Ryuki came out fine, I think it's the contrast with the background that helps him pop.

You should have saved that for Hurricane Dragon.

Unfortunately with the tight hips on my Verde this is the only position other than straight that I can get his legs in :(

Man....I need a Verde.

Hehe, thanks!

Hurricane doesn't have the sweet Dragon head though! Although I guess it will now as I have Flame, but I had no plans to buy both...

How's the ball joint at the chest on yours? The joint on mine has a low tolerance and just pops off the abdomen when i have him leaned forward. Which sucks whenever I place him on his bike.

Chest is fine on mine. But the hips are a nightmare. Trying to rotate them any further than straight is scary. There's a lot of resistance, so much so that it seems like it'll break. I guess I need to get some shock oil.

The only thing I do not like is how Gold Phoenix's upper legs do not move.

he got more characterization in those pictures than the entire show...

Hey, remember when Odin did something?

Neither do I.

Sweet design, though.

Is the N64 supposed to mean something?

Odin's hand is over the reset button.

Ha!

Poor Raia seems to get overshadowed by his two killers, so he gets to be the first to ride.

Welcome! I don't know what to be more envious of, the composition or the copious amounts of skrulls. Awesome shot.

Thanks. I miss my good camera. This shot was taken with a not so good camera. :(
And I got lucky getting all these skrulls. I have a few more actually... lol

Sieg was literally the cockiest motherfucker of all of Kamen Rider. Step aside Tendou, you may walk the path to heaven, but it only exists for Sieg.

Man, I might break out my SIC Wing Form and display him, again.

Why would you want to put him away in the first place? :eyebrow

I love it. I didn't realise the faceplate was so angular with so much depth and sculpting from pics online. But it makes me want a Figuarts Wing Form even more. The SIC does a REALLY good job sort of enhancing the design's regal, shining motif, but the very nature of SICs means it's just slightly asymetrical, which is great for literally everyone except Sieg where it's slightly, only slightly, noticably off.

Plus I just like the actual design so much I want a good representation. Especially the light blue visor verses the dark blue on the SIC. I even tried finding the motion revive but couldn't. :(

Also, Zolda is magnificent as well.

A shelf he was originally displayed on broke a couple months back. The figure itself is fine, but I haven't bought a new one to put him back on display. I might display him on my entertainment center, though (I'm sure Predaking won't mind :p).

Yeah, I would love a Figuarts Wing Form. While SIC's design choices are hit or miss with me, Wing Form is actually one of my favorite SIC designs.
However, for me, I simply want the Figuart for show accuracy.

Man, that's one of the Ryuki riders I have left to get. Looks good against the blue background. The shelf will feel empty from lack of BFG. Speaking of a Ryuki shelf, I decided that this will be ride shooter's pose (to speak of).

Zolda convinced me that the Ryuki Riders are well and truely a worthwhile investement. I want to get a few more, like Tiger, maybe Raia, I may even get Ouja since the design is so slick.

I just wish more characters came with their contract monsters/big accesories.

The main Ryuki guys (Ryuki, Zolda, and Knight) are ridiculously good bang for the buck, since they come with so much stuff. I was able to get 'em all on Mandarake without too much hassle too.

I heard Odin is good, but haven't picked him up yet. The separate contract monsters are pretty impressive, but pricey. Manugiga is basically a brick but he breaks down into very impressive weaponry, but a bit redundant. I almost wish they sold Zolda by itself, no special weaponry, cut the price, then get Manugiga separately. I'd get multiple Zoldas just so I could display all the weaponry in action

If you want to take the plunge, Genocider is a beautiful display piece

These guys should be the starting point for anyone jumping into SH Figuarts

Me too...

My first was Ouja, love it to pieces. Like you said though, I wish he had come with his contract monster. Sadly, Genocider is a little out of my price range, one day though.

On a seperate note, I don't think the figma releases are a bad alternative for those on a budget. The scale isn't the same, but like horseshoes and hand grenades, close enough to count. However Zolda would definitely have to be an SHF purchase.

Example:

Forgive the image, shot with my phone.

If I end up getting a lot of Ryuki Figuarts, I'll fill in the blanks with Figmas like Verde, Imperer, Scissors and Gai. Characters I don't care about but might as well get to finish the line. It's optimistic that even if I can't get a full cast of Figuarts riders, I can fill in the blanks with perfectly acceptable, and cheaper, Figmas.

Boom

I could do that if I had the W SIC effects parts. :(

those are some custom made effects parts I picked up on eBay. not quite worth the price, but still kinda cool.

It's been a long time since I messed with the SIC effects parts that one time, but if I recall correctly, you actually couldn't do it with them, because they are attached to the SIC gun. I'll have to check, I might be remembering wrong.

I don't see how being attached to the gun would make much of a difference.

Well, if they're physically attached to the SIC Magnum, he couldnt exactly attach them to the figuart in the picture there :eyebrow

But I wouldn't be attaching them to the Figuart, I'd be putting them on my SIC.

OH he thought I meant- oh okay, sorry, I meant I could do that pic with my SIC LunaTrigger if I had the effects. :<

oh. in that case, yes, you could. :D
I'm toying with selling my W SICs, I would presumably also be selling the SIC Effects set, if you wanted to try to talk me into it.
