I'd love a Gosei Green but he'd almost certainly be an overpriced exclusive.

Well, in all likelihood, he'd probably be a normally priced exclusive.
It's the middleman who will screw you over :p

Oh I know someone like him is a long shot. But a Gosei Green figure still has a better chance of getting made than things like the unseen and unused Survive designs form Ryuki. I would kill for a full Goseiger team plus Gosei Green.

Unless it's Sentai Tamashii :lol

We can hope together. Because I still hold out hope we'll get a Barizorg.

When I've caught up and bought Deka Red and Red Hawk, I'll get right on it :p

People have been saying Daizyujin's getting a new box, but I don't think it's been revealed yet so there's no definite confirmation. Since Red Hawk got a new (albeit just English) box, I can imagine Daizyujin getting some sort of new packaging. And if he does, I'm pretty sure Tyranno Ranger will too.

Deka Red.... Hawk?! No! Gosei Knight! He's silver, and .... HE'S FREAKING GOSEI KNIGHT! He won't tolorate your BS >/

But both of those things together will probably cost me less than one Gosei Knight ;)

But be half as awesome.

Or you could do the smart thing and buy Kamen Rider Figuarts. :p

I am! Just very slowly :lol

You know what I wish Bandai would do? Take a page from the SIC KTs and release scaled down versions of their Figuarts. I think that would be a better way to get Sentai figures out there in general. It seems only the Reds sell well but I can understand why. Waiting a year or more for an entire Figuarts team to trickle out, at $50 per is a bit frustrating. The KTs come out super slowly but there's no reason why that has to be the case with Sentai figures that mostly use the same mold.

I realize those Motion Revive figures exist btw. I have Momotaros. They're cool but not as good as Bandai could do in a real collector line.

New Tamashii Web Exclusive releases!
Magnugiga is a bit fidly, and scary to disassemble. The joints which hold the legs to the torso and torso to chest plate require a pretty good amount of force to pop on and off. That being said he is large and in chrage. Very impressive looking. The weapons that you can make from his body are significantly larger than the ones that come with Zolda himself.

Libra is, nice? I was surprised to see that the chains hanging down his chest and the rings on either end of the staff ARE actually made of metal! He has some decent balance issues though. His heels are nearly non-existent and the giant back plate is rather heavy and it keeps him from moving his hips very much. Overall he's nice but putting his Horoscope jacket thing on turns him into a complete brick.

Wow, I wouldn't have expected them to use metal chains for Libra either. That's pretty neat.

Thanks for the quick reviews. I can't see me ever picking up Magnugiga but Libra is definitely one I could see me getting one day.

Libra was never my favorite Zodiart. Especailly after he turned into a complete wusspile towards the end of the series. And after hearing that? I already wasn't getting him, now I'm locking my doors to make sure he never enters my home.

Did you expect anything less from putting on the coat? I expected them to be bricks with those on.

Oh no I really didn't expect much it's just that Libra has really bad balance anyway because of the poor heel design. Add on top of the the coat and he can barely stand at all without a Tamashii stage. But then there's not really anywhere for the stage to grab him with the coat on. So he suffers quite a bit from it not being made of some kind of soft plastic. It forces his legs into a straight position with no room to splay out at all. And the chain underneath there can get VERY easily stuck in his hip and knee joints just from putting the coat on. The Horoscope figures look nice but they definitely could've found better ways to execute them.

Bit of a strange question, but has anyone else noticed something different on the newer Figuarts hands? I've never once had a problem taking hands on and off the figures before but with both Bouken Red and (to an even worse extent) Red Buster the hands just don't want to stay on. Its even worse trying to change Red Buster's left hand for fears that the Morphin Brace might suddenly snap off. The additional Akiba girl hands that came with Bouken Red even managed to pull the joint apart when I took it out.

Has anyone else noticed this or have I simply been unlucky twice in a row?

I noticed it on Bouken Red. Waiting for Red Buster to hit dat price before I grab him. Bouken Red is a nightmare for hands and actually Red Hawk is too for me. I can see how Meteor snapped the elbow off on his.

I haven't with that, but my AkibaRed scarf falls off if you breath on it and it is driving me crazy. I cannot do anything with him without it falling off.

I noticed the problem with Gosei Knight. His fists especailly.

Damn, I hope this doesn't become the norm for them from now on. One of the biggest appeals of the line for me when I first buying the figures was how easily parts were swappable.

I don't know about Figuarts having that problem in the future but I swear that every single Ultra-Act I've ever owned had that problem. It hurt just to swap their hands in and out and I almost broke wrist joints on more than one occassion.

I swear , I am getting really scared of swapping hands out now. Boukenred and red buster seem to have really small pegs. And don't tell me that ultra acts have this issue too! I just got my first one in gridman today

Well I at one point had Zero, Ultimate Zero, Glenfire, Mirror Knight, and Jean-Bot. All but Jean were insanely difficult to swap hands on. Again to the point that I almost snapped the wrist joints.

for me Jetman's hands were not that bad to swap. Honestly the worst of that lot still is the W mold...

Dammit, when is Diamond going to ship KRTiger and Red Hawk? I went to my comic shop but they still haven't gotten my order in yet, which I figured would be in by now.

I just logged into the retailer site to check. Here's their release dates:

Silver Crow - Cancelled (guessing Dimaond couldn't get what they thought)
Red Hawk - 10/31
Meteor Storm - 10/17
Tiger - 10/17
Fourze Cosmic - 11/28
Cell - 12/26
Shin Ichigo - 12/26
Zeronos - 12/26
Black Condor - 12/26

Tiger and Meteor were initially supposed to be 10/31 releases as well but go bumped up.

Thanks. Interesting that Black Condor is not until after Xmas. Oh well, I guess I can wait, but it is odd that he was in the Aug book and Fourze Cosmic was in the Sept, yet, he is shipping in Nov.

Who is Silver Crow?

BTW, do they give a shipping date for New World Nami?

Silver Crow is the in-game avatar of the main character from the anime Accel World.

Is there a date for the Cyclone Joker reissue? If it's not till January I might cancel my January order and get one from Japan.

Oh joy, CycloneJoker is the next Figuart I have preordered :lol

Look Out! Sentai's asking a stupid question!

How many of you keep your boxes for display? I kept mine, but I'm not displaying it. It's more so I don't lose peices while it sits in a drawer.

I've kept them to keep pieces in. The amount of tiny pieces these figures seem to come with I feel safer keeping them in moulded trays than rattling around somewhere else.

I don't have them on display at the moment, but then my Figuarts temporarily aren't on display either :lol When I put them all up I'd like the display the spines somewhere.

I have my boxes on display, but considering I only have 3 Figuarts, and one of them is currently in the box, it doesn't exactly take up a lot of real-estate. :lol

I keep all of my boxes because if I didn't, I would have no place to put their accessories. Plus, with me moving next month, my Figuarts may get broken if I didn't put them back into their packages. My ultimate plan is to buy a few of those glass cases from IKEA next year, put my Figuarts in those and spine the boxes as if they were books on a bookshelf or something.

Speaking of which, Dragreder was indeed easy to put back in his box. However, I doubt I will have him displayed the same way again. In fact, I may display them with Ryuki doing his rider kick anyway.

I have the top of my shelf displaying Figuarts boxes but when I ran out of room I just started putting them in bins :lol

Just remember that Diamond (via bluefin) gets their new releases about a month and a half after the Japanese release. And comic retailers (like myself) have to submit orders 2 months in advance. So if something is in say the October previews it won't actually ship til December/January. This is the only other stuff in the system currenty:

Knight Survive - 1/30
Super 1 - 1/30
Cyclone/Joker - 1/30

Heh. That's pretty cool. I would attempt the same, but most of my Toku stuff is Sentai Minipla, and unfortunately, you can't both build them and have the boxes in a box like, box form. :lol

Yeah, that I know, but That is 4 months for Black Condor. Anyway, I just had my comic shop order Super 1, but I cannot wait that long for Cyclone/Joker.
