Figuarts are a crazy drug that once you start, it's hard to stop. So far I've stayed focused on just Super Sentai characters and have gotten all 5 Dekarangers, all seven (counting Koaru) Shinkengers, Dragonranger and Tyrannoranger, Bouken Red, Buster Red, Akiba Yellow, and three of the six Gokaigers... Total Figuarts I own as of now... Twenty. O_o And that's just in the last three months.

AmiAmi has Act 4's and 5's for 950. Trident stages for 880. They've been in stock for quite some time. From October through January, I plan on throwing a set into each of my monthly orders.

It becomes quite the addiction, shockingly swiftly, too! I was originally planning only getting main Riders from series I have watched and the Akibarangers. That quickly changed. I grabbed 2/3 of the Gokaigers last week, I've started picking up the figures with Akibaranger parts, and now I'm getting Dopants and Imagins and bikes... I may need an intervention. :lol

Much appreciated! I haven't placed an order with AmiAmi yet. Sadly for my wallet, I think they may be the only place I haven't ordered from yet.

Is anyone else having weird problems with Mandarake at the moment. I go to look for things but it brings up all the stuff that's sold out too, then refuses to get rid of them when I select "in stock items only".

Happening to me too.

Another question! :D

Anyone think that the Den-O Sword Form figure might get a re-release after the Rod/Gun pack comes out? Sword Form seems like a pretty scarce devil to find.

Newbie here guys! so pls forgive if this has been asked
 

just getting hooked on sh figuarts kamen rider ryuki figs.. been a fan of shf for a long while and have shinken red and shinken gold, but that's it....a bit cost prohibitive and there weren't really any other figures that just screamed at me that i would have to have them....UNTIL...

Ryuki with dragreder....i looooooooove dragons...and seeing the toy has made me find the series to actually watch...i've been perusing video review and such to see what's all out which leads me to my main question....

I'm looking for all the contract monsters and based on a post from november of 2012 there were supposed to be some released...i know we're getting Scissors this month, but can't find info on release for his contract monster Volcancer....also saw pix of imperer with gigazelle, alt zero with psycorogue, femme and blanwing, biogreeza and destwilder....yet i cannot find these anywhere to order or buy ....is it that they never were released, after almost a full year? delays? cancellations? or are they out and just SUPER DUPER rare that I can't find them anywhere online?

next question is where is the best place to be able to buy them or preorder them, expecially the exclusives...Can't order directly from Tamashiiwebshop because i don't live in China...Bluefin is for retailers/resellers only....mandarake seems to have no real stock of anything...so all these people that don't live in china or have stores that get these exclusives right when they're out...how the heck are they doin that? where are they buying/preordering them?

last question for now....I have also noticed some beautiful looking SIC kamen rider OOO figs upcoming....also can't order them, but i hear things like they are not poseable...yet on the review i see, they seem pretty poseable, similar to SHF tho to a lesser degree....can anyone shed light on the main diff between SIC and SHF figures? are they just as articulated, etc...?

It's a minor nitpick, but Japan, not China. I don't think all of the contract monsters are out/planned for release. At least not SHF versions. I'm pretty sure there are alternatives though.

Not sure how the US based shops get exclusives. They probably have some connection or buy through a middleman service like everyone else.

All of the SIC OOO figures are fully posable. At least the OOO Combo ones. Uva won't have much articulation though. I've got all the ones released so far, TaToBa, TaJaDol, GataKiriBa, PuToTyra, and I have ShaUTa pre-ordered. Still waiting on release information for LaToraTah and SaGoZo.

SHF are 4-5 inch scale. SIC are 8 inch scale. The older SICs are apparently prone to breakage. In general they seem to be a bit more fragile than SHF, but they are just as articulated. And a lot of SICs have some gimmick to incorporate different forms. Like the W ones are able to swap halves and the OOO ones can swap head/arms/legs to make random combos.

Another interesting message from Tamashii Nations on Twitter:

OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. I can't say this enough. OMG.

YES!
