Exactly.

And I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who occasionally takes the SHFs off the shelf and plays with them.

I love the playability of my AC. More than happy to buy every damn release in that line. But I'll honestly also buy every single release of Gaim SHF's I can possibly get my hands on. I want the play factor of the AC's and the gorgeousness of the SHF's. I will easily own more merchandise from this show than any other rider, which is insane.

Not to mention the ACs will be more durable due to being made for children.

Did they make a "gimmick" line for Gokaiger, or do I have to settle for the SMF figures?

Unfortunately, no. Tokkyuger is the first series to have a gimmick line outside of just the Red and their bike with articulation worse than a main line Power Ranger.

So no kid/play-oriented line then... Curses.

AC tend to be cheaper then the Figuarts. So it's up to your budget.

I'm 31. The time to play with toys ended 16 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I constantly change the poses of my Figuarts, but the AC toys would end up being a waste of money as they would be replaced. And if there is anything I no longer have the luxury of doing, it is just needlessly buying toys just for the sake of buying them.

I honestly have been feeling the same way about my "toys" that I've been buying. The past few years I find myself spending less and less time actually "playing" with them. Maybe its cause I've moved on to collecting what may be considered higher-end products so I'm scared that I'm gonna break something I've spent lots of money on. Nowadays, most I do is take some pictures and play around with accessories (for SHF's anyways) and after that, off to the display to go or even back into their boxes depending on how much space I have. Every now and then I might go back and take something off a shelf and fiddle with it for a bit but nothing like I used to do when I was younger (although I am more in the 20's then 30's).



Anyways, more onto a more SHF related topic, I recently had time to fiddle with MMPR Pink/Ptera Ranger and I have to say I really like her. Maybe its because of the nostalgic-ness but I think she's a solid figure although maybe a little light on the accessories (especially the lack of a blade blaster in gun form).

Ive just sold my AC figures with the intention of being all in for the figuarts, it was fun but i love my display pieces.

Do we see the kyoryuger line ever being completed? The 100 years after V cinema is likely going to see releases off the back of it, but at half a dozen kyoryugers still to be announced, its going to be a tall order and at least 1 character will need male and female versions, thats a pretty hefty order.

Btw, does anybody have Hurricane blue and yellow yet? Mine is on the way and im interested to see the range of parts after the mammoth gouraiger set
