I've got the Guard Chaser. It's one of my favorite bikes. The paint apps seem pretty solid on it and there are numerous nice little details. Being an older bike, too, it comes with a full stand instead of the plastic disc all the newer ones do. I'd recommend it. That's about ¥1000 less than I paid for mine.

Oh thanks. I was unable to find it.

Oh thanks! Yeah, it looks like a pretty cool bike and do the SH Figuarts bikes have rubber wheels? I can't really tell from the photos. Hopefully I'll be able to make a decision on whether or not I really "need" it before its gone. Haha.

does anyone have a US release calendar for January and February?

January's up. February dates won't be up until 1 February (Tamashii exclusives for February are known, but I don't think those ever have specific release dates like the retail releases, they just come out towards the end of each month).

Try to get some dry bar soap in the joint. Bar soap has been my saving grace on at least two Figuarts with squeaky hips. Saved my second Zero from suffering the same fate as his predecessor.

So how does that work? Take like a toothpick and rub it on the joint?

That is the same kind of question I would like to ask too.

Since my Ryuuranger and White Ranger SHF figures are also suffering the same thing too with each shoulder joint. ;-;

I've then asked someone else to find a same sort of fluids similliar to shock oil, but so far, I have to wait. T-T

Review: SHF Shaider

I just ordered the shock oil from amazon for about 5 bucks along with my replacement ryuranger as soon as they come in i plan on taking a toothpick and removing the balljoint and trying to get someon the top of it and start moving it to see if it works itself into the joint, i will update on the progress and if this method works, so far only white ranger and ryuranger for me have this issue,
