yes :lolol

I have a question: Are the Figma Kamen Rider Ryuki figures a good alternative to the Figuarts?

Depends on what you want out of them.

I'll be the first to say SHF Gai is overpriced and comes with too few accessories. But I felt it was a far better figure than Figma Thrust in almost every way.

While I may not be happy having paid what I did for Gai, I'm much happier having Gai than I was having Thrust. Especially since I have SHF Genocider.

I personally would recommend going for the Figuarts over the Figmas. Yes, it will cost you more, but in my opinion, you'll have much better looking, much more poseable, much more fun toys out of it.

On the other hand, Thrust was my first Figma, and I lucked out and got Gai shortly thereafter, so I may not have had a chance to warm up to Thrust. I've since gotten a couple other (non Rider) Figmas, and I really like them, so maybe I'd be happier with Figma Thrust now than I was last year.

That's the problem. For me, I mean. Price since some of the Ryuki guys are exclusives. What I'd like most out of them are just display pieces. A shelf of Ryuki.

If you just want to fill in blanks ofa display with bit characters you don't care much for, Figmas will do.

Honestly, I'd say get the figmas if you're in a pinch financially. I plan on getting Knight's figma for sure and he's the only one I would consider not getting the figuart for. If you just need a placeholder, get some and when you get the figuarts, sell the figma or display them both. Unless you know, we never get Femme as a figuart.

I think that's what I'll end up doing. Getting the Figma's until I get the Figuart, then displaying them both together maybe.

Guess they have a DQ near the Toshi Station.

Now, PLEASE tell me where you got those awesome display sets. Been dying to display my figures in wacky set ups since enjoying you guys hilarious efforts. I need scaled props, back drops, the works!

Just thinking, when Blank Form dropped his treats, thought it'd be funny to pose with his broken sword and be like "not again!"

I've been pondering this too. Like the Figmas, and if you're like me, the financially fitter Figmas (sorry) are your best bet as stand-ins for the Figuarts. But if you like higher quality, and better detail and articulation, and have the scratch, get the Figuarts. I prefer them and only have Figuarts, but will get a few seeing as we're waiting on Femme and Knight is too expensive for right now. In my experience, the pegging system is better and you can't beat the slide out Rider Deck gimmick. Also, although it was only for the first two releases, Figuarts Knight comes with DarkWing, as Figma Knight doesn't. If that's a thing to you, think it through.

But make up your own mind & enjoy!

I got them at Walmart, for $15 each. There's also a cupcake shop available at the same price point, and two double-sized sets (Claire's and Sweet Factory) at $30. And hopefully more to come.

Somebody here has also said they've seen them at TRU, but hasn't mentioned a price.

can i see some den-o and ryuki love lease?

If it's a character who's Figuart is wayyy overpriced (Knight, Verde, and Gai come to mind) then yes, get the Figmas. The most notable difference is the matte finish of the Figmas vs. the shinier SHFs, and the crisper details on the SHFs.

Verde is only 4500 - 6000, which is fairly cheap in the grand scheme of things. Ryuga is far more expensive.

For those who aren't picky, Knight Survive is easy to get.

I've got him. But Base form is a must have.

I would say Knight is Definitely worth waiting for a decent price on, or a reissue on, because he comes with far more than the Figma will get you. The Contract Beast is great, and you need it.

I personally find the figma better. I think it got the coloring right, as the blue on the figuart seems a little too dark to me. Plus, the head on the figuart to me at least seems to wide. I won't lie though, if I ever see one for really cheap, I'll pick it up. But I personally prefer the figma over the figuart.

And I think the Ryuki figmas are ugly.

I'm just glad I don't like Knight at all. Saves me having to track him down. Crazy that he hasn't beeen reissued or anything.

Why not Lip? He's just cool-looking.

Anyway, yeah SHF Knight is MUCH better than the Figma. The aforementioned Advent Monster should be enough, but the detail and function of the figure is just tops. But alas, I'm resigned to hold out for a reissue and am going to order Figma Knight via Amazon. Ugh.

I think Knight's accessory count alone makes Wing Knight obsolete. Comes with any hands you could possibly need, the Darkvisor, Sword Vent, Guard Vent the badass cape and they even found a way to incorporate Final Vent.

The figma's color scheme just seems way too drab to me. Almost too 'gray' if you know what I mean. I suffer from color deficiency so I can't tell you which one is more show accurate, but even if Knight is suppose to be a darker navy, it doesn't necessarily work as well on the figure.

I think the only thing it has on Knight is pricing and the cape, in which the advantage is slightly offset by how cool the cape on the Figuart looks when properly displayed.

I hate the character and he's just kind of boring. He's Batman, except a knight.

The Dark - Knight? :lol

Why does Black get the better bike? Black deserves an awesome bike too! :lol

Elements of the past and the future, combining to make something not quite as good as either!

So yeah, the new Battle Hopper is awesome I actually really like the new head sculpt (if that is what you call it) for him. Plus it is nice to finally have a show accurate one in colors. I do wish he was a little bigger though, as Black does not seem to be able to sit on him very well.

Just keep teasing me.......damn after-market prices...

I increased the contrast on this a bid, and I like how it turned out, almost like the white is glowing.

I want a hangar :(

For Figuarts or for the Den-Mobile?

Fixed :D

Meh, the Hangar is nice, but the DQ is better. I want a second DQ, so I can have one with a permanent display, and one for doing misc photos. :D

What's that background you use? I've seen other people use it before, but I have no idea where to buy it.

That's the H-Hangar made by WAVE

Tom, Ryan. Either of you two see some cheaply, I wants em.
