As long as they are sold by Amazon then yes. Sellers through Amazon are a different story and could go either way.

Got 3 Figuarts yesterday at NYCC, just opened BoukenRed this morning and holy crap does he come with a lot. I mean he comes with 2 of the SurviBlade in gun mode so you can pose him with one that doesn't have a peg in it! The only problem I have is that his lower neck joint seems a bit stiff, but I think that may just be how it's molded given someone else I know has the same option.

ha! i guess my friend wont be getting his knight survive christmas present any time soon XD

So since you're pretty familiar with it...

Would you say I should go down to my comic store, see if they can order these for me, and get Knight Survive through them? Or since you also use Mandarake way more than me - do you think, if I wait for Ryuki Survive to come out too, I could get the two cheaper on Mandarake by waiting a little bit?

Why? Knight Survive is through Amazon, that's how I preordered mine. And he's listed for December release by Bluefin's facebook page.

But last page deno said its not till 1/30

Picked up a bunch of Figuarts at Bluefin's booth yesterday. For some reason all of the bicep swivels on the Ryuuki riders are ungodly tight. Raia's so much I thought he didn't have any swivels at all. Other than that small issue (and the fact that Tiger's claws are really tricky to get on), I love them all. OOO TaToBa brings me one step closer to having all the currently released main Heisei Riders sans W, who I'll get once reissued. Stronger brings me up-to-date with all the Showa Riders, Tiger, Zolda and Raia brings me up-to-date with the Ryuuki releases sans Gai and Lunatic brings me up-to-date with the Tiger & Bunny releases.

That may just be his shop then. Either way it probably won't be out until near the end of December, so it'll be a slightly-belated Christmas present at best.

I got my KR Tiger the other day...LOVE that guy...should have the photo shoot done today or monday...The Ryuki line hands down is one of the strongest Figuarts since Kabuto

I would say that getting them on Mandarake will be quite a bit cheaper. The only reason I go through my shop is because I can get them at cost. You'll be waiting significantly longer to get them through a comic shop than you would if you waited for online retailers. I love Bluefin and what they do in the US and when it comes to MMPR figures I will definitely go through them but on some things the extra 1-2 month wait for figures can be hard.
That's just the release date for all comic shops using Bluefin as a distributor.

Oh, well thanks for telling me wen its released :thumb:

So some quick thoughts on my latest Figuarts buys:

Bouken Red: Pretty good, I love his large amount of accessories and how he has actual bicep swivels. His shoulder motion is more limited than I expected though, I think future Sentai Figuarts should utilize the moveable shoulder pieces that come on figures like Red Hawk but retain the bicep swivel from the Gokaigers/BoukenRed. A small problem I've noticed with the toy is that red paint tends to rub up against the white on his shoulders and thighs, though just running your finger over them will remove that red.

Den-O Sword Form:
Very nice, though I thought he would have diecast feet since he's a pre OOO Rider. The headsculpt is gorgeous with the compound eyes and his giant effects part sword is amazing.

Red Hawk:
The first time it was a bit scary to remove his back plate to switch out the wings but it's much easier now. I wish all Figuarts were like that and not glued in place. I really need to buy some Act 5 stands now that I have him to get him in some flight poses.

I also bought a G3 off HLJ last night since I've started watching Agito and he was pretty cheap.

I have G3, he's a very nice Figuart. He has the same metalic blue paint that accel trial does.

I don't have Accel Trial but the blue in the pics look very nice. I just wish I could have gotten G3-X instead as I like that design better.

Accel Trial is Gorgeous, such a great figure.

Ya I like G3X better too…shame he's become so rare now.

Personally, I prefer normal G3's design, but like G3-X's weaponry more(not just because of the Cerberus, but because it seems a lot more balanced and realistic than G3's CHANESAWE UPH DUME).

I prefer G3-X's overall design.
I can't comment much on character because I have yet to see Agito...But G3-X sure as hell looks cool :lol

Hey I like g3's knife of doom...

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's still cool, but it's just so ridiculous...
Also, it doesn't hurt that G3-X can actually store 3/4ths of his weapons.

Wow. Paid for one Red Buster to pre-order 2 months ago off ebay, and I've received 2 in the mail..

What to do with the extra....

Give it to someone needy :D

Give him to me.
Would make my ShinkenRed a lot less lonely :lol

ill take it lol

How much do you want for it?

How about donate it to the First ever TokuNation Giveaway? :lol

I'll give full credit to you when I do the review? :D

Dude...this could get amusing...

lol, already getting so many people asking for it and PM's, but I emailed the ebay seller. if they tell me to just keep it, I'll likely sell it.

I will challenge anyone to a town hall debate for it!

So for those who have Red Buster, is his shoulder articulation more limited than other Figuarts?

The shoulder and arm articulation is too limited to fully mimic 3 of his most frequently used poses: firing the special gun for final attack, busters ready go pose and his roll call pose.

That too? Last I remember, his roll call pose is just him stepping forward and changing his alignment slightly. :lol

I swear the Gobuster mold is one of the worst steps backward in SHFiguarts.

I'm really hoping Beet and Stag will be better.

Here is a pic of his roll call.. The figuart can't do that.

So, any known issues with the CycloneJoker (aside from the headcrest size complaints)? I was thinking about jumping on that preorder for CycloneJoker on Amazon because I love the design so much.
Se-seriously?
That's not even a crazy pose, and it's not like Red Buster has restrictive chest armor. I was considering picking this up just because I liked the design but between this, the black elbow joints, and many other reported issues I think I'll just save my cash for something else.

It really is a shame that Red Buster is so wonky. I have a thing for collecting all sentai reds but I just can't do it if I'm gonna get more poor quality figures like Red Buster down the road.

Shinken Gold is able to do Red Buster's roll call pose better than Red Buster can. Red Buster's chest gets in the way of the arms doing poses

Red Buster looks like he dislocated his shoulder doing that :lol

Well...he has really good ankles at the very least :lol

Pretty much the only bit of praise I have for him though.
