so Gavan used the same wrists as Gridman?

Not sure, are the Gridman wrists like Figuarts ones with noticeably smaller balls for the hands to pop on?

Here's a random question. I want to get the Figuarts Blade King Form, but it's an exclusive and so it'd cost me a little more than $60 to just buy it upfront now. That said, I also wanted the Figuarts Phoenix (Phantom) who was also an exclusive but chose to wait it out. Eventually I found him on Mandarake for cheaper than I would have paid for him otherwise. I suppose at the end of the day it's always a risk, but what do you guys think, will King get cheaper on Mandarake later on or will he just get higher in price like some exclusives do?

Something that might be worth noting is that the regular Figuarts Blade is for some reason currently 6000 yen on Mandarake. I don't know exactly if there's a correlation, but in general, if one release of a series is popular, will the others, especially one that's an exclusive, be even more expensive? I think a good example of this would be Ryuki, where the Ryuki Figuarts exclusives are exceptionally expensive. So based on this, it seems like King form would just get even more expensive.

So I guess my question in short is, assuming one wants to buy Blade King, buy now, or buy later?

Hey, new member here. Quite new to collecting s.h figuarts as well.

I need some advices from the more experienced collectors, there is a Ryuki Dark Wing that I am interested in buying for roughly £54 or 86usd.

What I would like to know is if it's worth buying, seller says that he opened it to check the figure and accessories so apparently 95%~ new.

Also, would yous reckon this figure would be reissued since Ryuki got a reissue?

Thanks

That all depends on a couple of factors. Such as how bad you want it and how patient you are. If you like to get things sooner rather than later and he's also on your must have list, buy now. If you enjoy a design enough, you probably won't mind paying a little more. If it's a lower priority figure, you can probably afford to wait.

Reissue or not, that's still kinda pricey. There's still one here for $50 before shipping.

Ultra-Act wrists are different at least in size. But as I said the Metal Hero figures feature much smaller and fragile wrist pegs than the other tamashii lines.

Maybe you can use putty to make a new balljoint?

Reissue or not, that's still kinda pricey. There's still one here for $50 before shipping.

Thanks for reply, I forgot to mention, I am currently on holiday in hong kong and I am from UK, so, shipping from US costs a bomb to me.

That price of 54gbp or 85usd would in a way be like item plus shipping, would this price still be considered expensive for this figure?

Thanks

Oh. I suppose that sounds okay. That's not too bad, but not a particularly good deal either. But all of the Ryuki figures are pretty stellar, so I'm sure it'd be worth it for you if you want it enough.

On sale soon!

Midnight for US west coast.
