So I locked in KNight Survive's cape and I'm still not really liking him. THe sculpt is great, the figure itself is great, but he just feels fragile to me. He is the only Figuart that I am scared to touch for I just have this feeling his wings can break with ease.

QFT. So far I have completed Gokaigers, Dekarangers, and (soon) ZyuuRangers and HurricanRangers. Still on the fence on Boukengers and Go-Busters even though I got the Red ranger already. I may get them once I can find good prices on Mandarake since I can't resist putting the whole team together.

It's taking every once of my willpower to not attempt to get the rest of the Gokaigers to go with Blue. Fortunately, the prices I've seen make that pretty easy.

The Zyuurangers are another matter entirely.

I hope the Navy and Crimson Ninja Storm Rangers are actually out this week like Amazon says. I'm getting very tempted by the import versions, but would prefer to hold out and wait. Same goes for the upcoming Blue and Yellow Ninja Storm set.

I'm pretty sure they're made that as to hold up when posed rather than dropping due to weight. The regular knight has much heavier PVC cape parts that droop under their weight.

Like you I would've preferred a more durable plastic but at the same time, it wouldn't stand up well under gravity unless ratchets were implemented. Even so those could be obtrusive to the sculpt.

Agreed. And if they happen to renew OOO and all of his forms, I'll buy all of them. Again. And I wouldn't mind one bit.

See, I'm determined to have all of both lines.

Even if they make all of them aside from TaToBa a TWE?

In reference to the Kamen Rider Black RX and Acrobatter US distribution story linked on the News feed, I'm f very mixed feelings.

On the one hand, Black RX was the first Kamen Rider series I watched. Following Masked Rider, I tracked down and watched the show Raw when I was in college. As such I am a huge fan of his look and of Acrobatter as well.

But on the other hand, after finally getting my Green and White Rangers, I had sworn off any more expensive, hyper-poseable Japanese toys until and unless an Ultra-Act of Ultraman 80 was released. I had pretty much put the cap on SH Figuarts. This was done primarily for spending reasons.

So, thus my dilemma. I'd love to have Black RX on his bike next to the original Rider on his Cyclone on my SH Figuarts shelf. But I don't know that I can justify spending $80 on them to my wife, or to myself. But man, they look fantastic.

Hrrrn.

That's exactly why I'm avoiding buying a single Gokaiger at the moment, I know I'm going to want to collect them all then XP Even though they are one of my three favorite Sentai designs and I loved their series, when I look at how much some of them are going, especially the girls, I just can't justify it. I'm just hoping they release the group again especially for SDCC like they did for Super Samurai(Hey, a girl can dream right ^-^)

I can understand that, I'm trying to collect all of the SIC and Project BM! OOO's line after all. But that takes a lot of cash and as a new collector I'm trying to not go overboard and limit what lines I'm collecting so I can focus on catching up on my favorite lines/keep up with new releases.

Yes. As long as they don't have something like Kabuto's price tag, TWE renewal OOO probably wouldn't be too bad given that the only ones that would be any kind of special are TaJaDor and PuToTyra. Though....TWE OOO Combos would be a GREAT opportunity to add in more alt effect parts. Super down for that. Also, if OOO combos are renewed, I'd like to not have 7 Medajaliburs.


Gokaigers: Worth it. The cheap prices you can find for Red/Blue/Green/Silver more than make up for for the girls' high prices. I bought them all around release. Guys ran me $50 each. Girls $90 each. Comes out to $380 for the team. No regrets.

Oh, PBM. That explains it. I'd like to own those too, but since I already own lots of SHF, I'd rather have stuff that scales to each other. The largest figure I own is PAK Green Lantern. Towers over everything, it's crazy. I only have it because green. And Den-O likes to put up occasional impossible to pass up deals.

If I bought any large scale figure, it would probably be GataKiriBa.
