But he does have medals and he transforms with them, so aside from the different way his torso is, that might be how OOO's form would look...

well his power is over infinity so in a way he is......

Well my thing is that since all the OOO medals in that film came from the future anyways they'd have to be his. The Super TaToBa medals aren't part of OOO original arsenal but he could utilize them. They were designed with him in mind since there isn't another rider who can use his medals. The Poseidon medals are just a new set created for OOO as well (like the Supers) but they became sentient and rampaged. Designed with him in mind, he just never got to use them.

Well, actually, Kougami just straight up gave Aqua the medals in the new driver.
I don't doubt they were made with OOO in mind, though.

I got a shoutout? I'm practically an internet sensation now! :lol

Itasha seems surprisingly stable. I won't be buying him... ever probably, but at least he looks like a good toy.

Yeah, I am so happy he ended up with such a solid core build quality. Was ready for something really rickety and experimental, didn't expect it to fall so hard on the good side of the chogokin coin.

Better yet,the website got a shoutout.Always good to know more people could get interested in tokusatsu.

Are there going to be Act 5 Stands releasing soon for Figuarts? I keep waiting and waiting for Amazon or BBTS to get the Act 4s in stock, but they never come in and I am not paying the prices ebay sellers want for them.

Maybe...I kind of want to see what Poseidon would look like if he used the TaJaDoru medals.

I see...

How long after the Japanese release do the Bluefin ones generally take? I know to not expect anything until sometime next month, but I am drooling over pics of Wizard online and my impatience is starting to get painful haha.

Also, Vangelus my man, your reviews are a big part of what got me into Kamen Rider so for that I blame (and thank) you. Also this recent run here is what got me watching Akibaranger as well.

Jeez. I wait a week in between posts and now VANGELUS is here?!

I'm never not-posting again!

Also, the Bluefin releases are are kinda hard to place. Sometimes it's a month, sometimes it's three.

It's usually a month after the Japanese release

I just preordered Wizard using an Amazon gift card I bought with my tax return money. Yes, I know, it sounds very complicated, but I figured it was the best way to preorder the figure and not have to worry about having money in my bank account when it ships.

That's exactly what I did.

Total came out to like, $48, not too bad..though that does make him the most expensive Figuart I've purchased (Fourze or W was the cheapest).

Really? I got mine at $44.99.

They said on twitter it usually takes 2-3 weeks for them to get their shipment in. Combine that with the time it takes to them distribute them to retailers, probably around a month. I know your pain, I can't wait for my Wizard either. Ordered it off Amazon since I had some store credit to use.

Total with tax came out to $48.59

Eh not too terrible, considering it came out towards the first half of February, getting him around mid-March won't kill me. As long as I get him before Luigi's Mansion comes out at the end of next month, otherwise poor Wizard'll feel very neglected.

Yeah...I'll wait for a con...

Haha, yeah it was a bit much, but Wizard really is the Rider that got me into all of this so not getting him asap just felt wrong.

I'm getting him for 38 on Anime Island...may be a bit after the release date, but still saves $

I thought about that, but I currently have Amazon Prime. To get him in that same time from Anime Island would cost more.

I see...

Amazon charges you tax?

Ayup. I live on Southern California, so I assume that's got something to do with the discrepancy.

Amazon will probably be charging most of us tax after this year. They made a deal with a bunch of states to start taxing people, a bunch kick in later this year(including mine :( ).

My Wizard arrives tomorrow with my AmiAmi february order. With his share of the shipping, he's running me under $40. The shipping costs from Japan are expensive as hell but if you combine orders it really works out cheaper in the long run.

Yeah, Amazon's been taxing in PA for a while...

Does the Bluefin import have the first run bonus for Wizard? Because I might just go order him too...

All credit goes to Peaugh,but here ya go.

Yeah, it was watching Peaugh's review that made me want him enough. ;) And that extra cape does look really look nice, so I'm curious about whether Bluefin's release will have it.

I like the extra piece but I can live without it seeing as how he used the kick what,once or twice in the series? It's a shame cause I want to see a rider use a kick again as a finisher,but I guess the closest we'll get to that is Fourze.

And my Shinken Red has arrived, ayyy!

Did you get a Kuroko or was he alone?

Just Takeru, no Kuroko.

The bluefin release does include the bonus parts. The listings on Amazon and Anime Island say so. And from what I've seen so far, if there's a first release bonus on something and bluefin does distribute it right at release, you should get the bonus.

Sweetness!

Watching Peaugh's review made me even more impatient >_<

Damn that figure is beautiful, and yeah..I'll likely have mine in the kick strike pose majority of the time he is on display and not in my hands.

you know what this thread needs? More Double

words cannot explain how much I love this figure

Glad to hear it! It's not one of my favorite figures but it is decent.
