Got my Blade from AmiAmi today, he's spectacular. As good as the Ryuki figuarts, if not better. So glad I preordered King form.

Just got my Blade in as well and DAMN he is well made. But holy hell in a hand basket the stickers for the Rouzer are tiny. Like I need a magnifying glass and the worlds smallest tweezers to apply these tiny.

That instills me, who has shaky hands, with loads of confidence :lol

I managed to do it with a toothpick and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I really hope Garren doesn't have stickers also but I suspect he will so people can choose to have the full deck or blank cards.

So...does anyone have any SHF Decade cards they would be willing to part with? I just bought Violent Emotion Decade (along with CycloneJoker), and I heard that he doesn't have the cards.

There's a printable template with all of the Decade Cards for the SHF.

Let me search it for you.

Hope it's useful. :D

As much as I love Ryuki to death I think posing them next to each other makes Blade look ridiculously detailed. I missed the two Spade insignias on his neck first time handling him. They really went crazy with the detail on this guy.

And to my surprise the absence of diecast was a plus. Ryuki as a figure was an indication of improvement in Figuarts. Blade is one of its better payoffs.

Incidentally I picked up the re-issue Ryuki which came out around the same time as Ryuga. The Silver on the reissue is much more striking and the overall paint is better. Anyone looking to get Ryuki, try looking for the recent reissue. Slight difference in the head sculpt (the grill details are a little thicker but better applied than the first) but everything else in the package is included.

Anyone who is wanting the Japan release of Blade- His reissue preorder is up on AmiAmi-

Sweet. Hopefully I can get one in.

I wonder if the re issue will be slightly better in terms of quality of figure, as some one pointed out that Ryuki re issue was a little better.

Although, there was quite a gap between the initial release of Ryuki and the re issue.
