Hm...ok thanks guys! :D and it's not like I won't get the other at some point, I'm just wondering which one I should get first.

The giant laser attachment for the sword alone makes sword form the way to go.

Yeah, go for Sword Form first.

Sword Form is the only form I need to own for Den-O because that is his main form.

I LOVE sword form! Near perfect figure hands down. I do consider Strike form a purchase just because he is a separate character...

Dude I own every Den-O SHF out there :lol go with Sword Form. Climax is an amazing figure but Sword is superior.

Aye, it's figures like Sword Form that make me want to add, if not completely switch over to, collecting base forms instead of final forms. That and they're just more iconic anyways.

Ok. Sword Form it is then.

If you still need more convincing, this was just posted a few days ago by a sexy man. Sword Form is the one to get.

CollectionDX - Figuarts Den-O Sword Form

Also, the pictures are fairly lame because I just got a new camera and this was kind of a test to get all the kinks out (which I didn't until a few days later. My exposure was WAY off).

I'm considering grabbing a Faiz Figuarts sometime soon but I'm not sure if I should go with regular or Blaster. Accel would be preferred but his web exclusiveness makes him a bit harder to get. I do like regular Faiz better but I'm not sure if he's as good a toy as Blaster. Any recommendations on which one to get?

Regular is the best because that is his standard form. That is the one I'll be picking up sooner or later.

Honestly Blaster has some crazy huge hips and an out of scale head. Go with standard Faiz man.

I can only really speak for the regular Faiz, since I don't own Blaster, but the two are practically the same base sculpt that the thunder thighs and slightly disproportionate arms will translate regardless. Blaster seems to have a lot more going on in terms of accessories though, as I can tell you Faiz feels rather bare-bones with hands. It's ultimately up to which weapons and color you prefer if you're choosing between the two, really.

Regular Faiz it is then, thanks for the tips guys!

I passed on blaster...just never liked all that red....both Faiz and Kaixa are awesome though

Blaster just has some wicked thunder thighs on him :lol

The better to rider kick his enemies with :lol

I like Blaster's design and his weapon but after looking at the official pics of the Figuarts that head is tiny. Does anyone know how much Regular Faiz originally retailed for?

I think it was 3360 Yen for Japanese retail, $40.99 for Bluefin's release. Don't quote me on that one though.

has there been any word on the Shocker soldier figuarts? I NEED that figure!

I need 3, hell I'm gonna troopbuild the hell out of that toy

Aren't we all? :lol

Aren't figuarts a little expensive to army build with though? I almost wish they'd release them as Zero's, in a four pack, in different poses.

lol

I've pretty much stopped troop building. I discovered through GI Joe and MOTUC that, while cool at the initial moment, months later they become huge pools of regret. Sure, again, it looks cool with an army of troopers on your shelf, but they end up being a waste of money and take up more space than necessary when you actually think about it.

Not if you collect grunts. Riotroopers, Zectroopers (the Shadow version at least), Kuroko. They've all been pretty cheap to do so with till now. Though the Corporate Drones from Akibaranger will be a bitch to troop build since their exclusive. Hence why I ordered 2 of them :D

that is possibly the worst idea ever :lol i want me some posable grunts to have shenanigans with

and you don't have to get them all at once, 1 here or there, it will be so worth it, because you know I'm gonna recreate my avatar :lol

I know I will. I'll have 3 and then a fourth to be Uu from the Decade Musical :p (not really)

Had some fun setting this one up:

Are any of the module sets really worth getting, btw?

Nice! As for the modules I'd say no. But the stand and effect set is pretty nice.

Yes only if you're into collecting them, they are uber cheap now to boot

Dude, I was planning on having several grunts fighting Kuuga and a Riotrooper, just to make my roommate angry.

I have all four module packs and I think they are awesome. The downside is obviously not being able to have them all on at once, but I enjoy being able to switch them. However, it also depends on what the price you pay for them is. I've paid 300, 800, 900, and 860 Y for each of them (and ordered them when I was ordering other stuff so the shipping cost did not off set the prices). I'm going to wait a while to see if the fifth set drops in price as well, because even the retail price of it is expensive.

Yes. But I figure if you're going to buy the Module's, chances are you also have more than one States anyway. So you could display alot of them at once.

While I do have Elek, Fire, and Pepsi, I don't use the modules on them.

i must have missed that episode...

Damn, the Tiger & Bunny Blue Rose figuart hasn't been released yet has it? I suddenly feel the need to see her posed with Magnet States :lol

:lolol that's amazing!

I need to get a Riotrooper now...

Pepsi? I don't get i-oooooh! :lol

Anyway, I cannot believe I never though of putting the modules onto the other forms until now.

lol

I see what you did there :lol.

I really wanna pick up the module sets, i mean i will own all the states sans rocket and magnet here soon (idk if I wanna get Magnet again hes no better than a statue to me with no real head articulation)

and I finally got to mess around with my 3 new SHFs Zolda, Ouja and Meteor Storm. I love them but Ouja is a bit different, the chest armor really hurts his arm articulation and it bugs the crap outta me.

my only real problem with them though is the fact that I dont have Magnugiga to go with Zolda
