If you mean pick up and fiddle with, yep. They're durable to handle anything that's not bashing two figures together :lol

Just that some are more finicky and worrisome to handle than others because of suit design as opposed to figure durability. Things like the antenna of showa riders are prone to breakage if you drop them. Which is a given for any figure that has hard plastic horns (Seriously, they should bring back soft plastic horns)

Pic slightly unrelated because I just wanted to share how cool it looked when I saw it.

Cool pic...did you change or remold Jaou Dragon's cape or something?

Chiming in as well about the quality of figuarts....they're great and for me out of 7 yrs of colecting them I haven't had no major QC issues aside from has already been pointed out and only had 2 Kamen Rider figuarts take a fall and break a horn that I was able to glue back.

Figuarts never felt fragile to me especially the Sentai ones and it's a matter of getting a feel of them imo because they're designed to be posed.

They're definitely not meant for children with all the small/sharp parts and accessories that can get lost. As I tell people "look but don't touch" because if something goes missing or gets broken you're not gonna care to replace them

didn't we answer the same question from the same guy 3 months ago

Not my pic. It's SHT_Raito's, they changed Jaou's cape for a fabric one.

No, I don't remember that.

They ought to have switched Saber and Calibur's positions so the swords' bad sides aren't on full display, oof!

In my defense you can't expect me to remember every single post I put out.

Raito sure makes some awesome crazy photos. Like this one:

Should i get SS Dark Kiva i hear he got some QC with his right arm ?
Also hello guys, i've been lurking for awhile & finally decided to join the forum

I wouldn't worry about SS Dark Kiva's right arm, it's not a widespread thing like OOO.

Grab him, he is drop dead gorgeous!

50th ver. Zero-One just went back up for pre-order on Amiami!

Yup, i just bought it cant wait for it to arrives, i'm pretty satisfied with SS Kiva line so far maybe i will grab Ixa later :D

I just notice all the Build figuarts feel a bit heavier, stable than other rider figuarts line & even the SS. Did they have any die cast joint or part ?

That's great! Hope you enjoy it! The Kiva line perfectly showcases how good Seihou can be.

That'd odd since I haven't felt any weight disparity. Then again, I only own Night Rogue and Charge at the moment. Maybe it's the design? Certainly figures like Perfect Grease, TankTank, and Cross-Z Magma would definitely be heavier.

No die-cast parts involved, and they don't feel heavier or more stable than the rest to me.

There are certain Figuarts I own which do feel a bit more "quality" to me than others so I can't blame you for thinking that, I just assume in those cases I got the perfect copy where every single plastic molecule was aligned just right and every drop of painted landed exactly where it needed to.

No die-cast (thank god, that always leads to loose joints) but I get what you mean about the Build line. My Great Cross-Z especially feels that way.

yeah might because i was compair my SS W with other build figuarts that has more armor part or my imagination

Close-up of Saga. His stained glass is done really nicely

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz he's so gorgeous! It's gonna hurt to dump money on that with him being obviously P-Bandai!

Is that a new elbow design they're trying too?

If I get one figure next year, it will be Saga.

...Could we please get the other 3 Kiva forms and Rising too Bandai? Maybe a Rey and a huge Arc if feeling generous?

...Kiva reissue would be neat...

Kiva seems to be one of the easier ones to get on Manda etc... I'd much rather they re-issued Agito, Hibiki or #2

I've had my alerts on Kiva for a while now and I haven't gotten any tho

I mean, I was thinking Dark Kiva was "obviously P-Bandai", yet that one wasn't.

I could see Saga being that king of surprise retail release no one saw coming.

I was under the impression that Seihou also follows the "two retail release" rule too tbh

Oh, has it? Huh


I get the feeling they won?t do more than two retail releases for a modern Seihou line. Den-O has only had one so far, right?

Well, actually wasn't Ankh's arm and Tajador both retail?

Ankh's arm, TaJaDor, and Momotaros were all retail.

What's next, an acrylic stand officially recognized as S.H. Figuarts Vice? :lolol

I finnaly got my Ultraman Z Original. The color timer comes off way too easily!

But otherwise it is my first Ultraman SHF and I really like the simplicity. I can see how Ultraman figures struggle with paint applications. They simply can't be color casted in the same way Kamen Rider figures can.

Nice :rock:

That's a recurring theme in the line :lol

Yeah, not a whole lot of armor that gets in the way of articulation.

Thankfully I didn't have any major issues with any of them yet. In one case they forgot to paint the silver lines on a torso but that's about it.

Oh true, I forgot about Arm Ankh and Momotaros. Even so, that's OOO; it's hard to see them going out on something far less popular like Kiva

Don't bother with alerts on Mandarake. If it's a sought after item, it'll be sold out long before you get any alert which is why you aren't seeing any. You have a better chance bookmarking figuarts as a search term and just refreshing the results every couple of hours as new stock is added.

THIS ALL DAY.
AmiAmi can be pretty useless for anything other than used figures, in my wallet’s opinion.

I know Kivala is a movie rider but it would be awesome if they did a SS Kivala since we havent got a girl rider with the renew line
P/s: i got limited url/forbidden words with "f*m*le" for some reason

Could very easily see that happening! With their recent reveals I think she and Diend Complete are the only Decade things left un-renewed, unless you count Abyss

Huh, weird. I know the site has been having a lot of formatting glitches recently...

This post brought to you by my need to share that this Sevenger is one of the worst figures I own. But hey, luckily it scales with SHFs and light up eyes are always super cool.

Which Sevenger is that?

I think its called Lights! & Sounds! Sevenger. But I've also seen people refer to it as DX Sevenger.

It has so many problems. Incredibly loose waist joint to point where the torso just flops around (seriously thought my copy was broken, but saw other people online with the same issue). The arms pop out of the socket very easily and then are super difficult to put back in because 1) The plastic bendy tube around the joints are stiff and 2) the ball joint is on a hinge that likes to move when you try to reattach the arm. It's also just a very tiny ball and socket joint I'm worried will break eventually. It's about the size of Kamen Rider SHF ball joint wrist.

Even after all that, the arm joints aren't strong enough to hold poses due to the plastic joint covers.

The feet are diecast metal though. That's nice.
