I honestly never got the complaints about the shoulders on the Ghost figuarts. They had better range than most of the SHF Drive line.

Quality of the show itself aside, I really don't understand why that Ghost line got such a bad rap. I didn't see any noticeable decline from the previous lines. In fact, my Drive has gotten a bit loose over time while my Ghost still remains sturdy.

I have to agree, the Ghost line got a lot of unwarranted hate. I guess the quality of the show soured people to literally anything Ghost since people treated the figuarts as though they were the second coming of the original Wizard figuarts and no figure in the Ghost line was anywhere near that bad. I own almost all the Ghost figuarts and found them to be incredibly rock solid.

T-pose to assert dominance

^I don't get it either. Ghost is the only Figuart I've been able to pick up in a while and absolutely love it. Articulation is fine, the suit design remains one of my all time favorite, I love the way the weapon was handled, etc.

AmiAmi has these listed for pre order. I didn't see them on HLJ, yet

So...no SS for Faiz uh.... is the figure any good though?

I'd say so yeah. Of the older Figuarts he's the one that still holds up best.

So the listing for Build confirms he's only coming with the couple of hands from the original release, nothing extra, despite costing about 2000 yen extra.

"Bad" is relative. I think it's inferior to the Figuarts versions of Gaim, Drive, Ex-Aid, and Build. I'd say the jacket is to blame if I didn't own Takeshi Hongo, which allows the arms to be posed without the unsightly gaps Ghost gets in most poses. I suppose that figure was designed later. Your figure may not have experienced the arms-fall-apart problem that mine has.

Anyway, it's not wrong to enjoy the figure. The weapon *was* handled well. The helmet looked good. I got a lot of enjoyment out of Figuarts Wizard, and only really became dissatisfied with it over time, by comparison.

On another note, the preview images of the re-releases on AmiAmi show *some* of the accessories that some of the figures. Looks like Faiz will come with a decent number of his accessories. Blade seems to come with the Rouzer options and cards, but not the effects parts. The Ex-Aid photos are mostly pulled from the original Ex-Aid release. Drive does not appear to come with either of his weapons. Some of the figures, like Den-O and Ryuki, only show a single image without accessories, I suspect because Bandai is still working on what to pack with those.

Lies! He includes a fantastic looking, Riderwatch-inspired stage!

...

Fuck that shit.

@Topic: These are pretty pathetic excuses for reissues. More expensive with less stuff included to match the barebones releases of late, great job Tamashii!

That being said, I had to go for Drive, I missed out on that guy and he's one of the last Riders I could see getting an update anytime soon.
