Ha, never happening :p I love Ixa man. One of the nicest older figuarts out there. And mine is the original release with the Tamashii Stage. Now if I could just find a decently priced Rising Ixa.....

Double's a solid figuart, I do wish he had more torso articulation and green joints for the Cyclone side but he's still gorgeous.

My only real complaint with him is his hip joint, just because of the way the armor is..it's a bit difficult to get back into its neutral position I think. Also I still fear breaking his crest. Such an awesome figure, love posing mine.

I know that fear all to well. It's the worst with Double but I also worry about my Den-O Sword Form and Zolda.

doesnt mean you couldnt get another one *hint-hint*

Alternatively he's up on Amazon for $35: http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Tamashi...amen+rider+ixa

I still have no idea how I got mine for... had to have been no more than 3000 yen.

But god do I love IXA. Both of mine. :3

And I literally just broke down and ordered Wizard on Amazon. Haven't bought a Figuart in quite a while...

Hmmm. I always have wanted an extra one to have in Save mode. Get a double Otoya/Nago display going on.
The most appropriate reaction to have ever :lol
I think I piad about 2500 for my Ixa actually. He runs as low as 1500 though. It's a cheap and abundant figure most of the time. However Rising tend to be more like 3000-3500.

Hahahahaha

...you know that link to him on Amazon is the first time I've actually even seen what IXA looks like?

If you do, I'll buy the Burst Mode head from you.

Oh man I couldn't do that. I hate having incomplete figures, even if it's a part I don't/won't use. I've got massive levels of OCD about complete figures.

Oh, I was talking about Rising there.

And IXA is one of the few I'd double-dip on too, because right now I've got Save Mode displayed as Otoya, with Rising as Nago. But a Burst Mode Kengo in between... Hmmmm...

The fact that they're represent two different characters gives it that much more incentive to double dip.

I should buy another IXA…the SAVE mode head points broke off when he took a dive off my shelf. :(

Damn. I guess buying myself a Second Ixa can get me a Burst Mode head with a non-broken crest and one to display in Safe/Save (Forgot) mode...

dude IXA is an amazing design

Yeah it is. You can tell the designers were on a serious Metal Heroes kick when they designed him.

Help me decide:

Showa V3 or Black Condor.

Do I finish my Sentai Figuarts for now, or get started finally grabbing the Showa riders?

Black Condor all the way dude. V3 is decent but nowhere near as nice as his Showa bros. And Black Condor/Red Hawk is a fantastic mold. Easily one of the best sentai molds in the line. If they don't make the other 3 Jetmen to complete the team I will be severely pissed.

You should be counting yourself lucky you even got any of them to begin with...

Yeah Red Hawk is such a damn good figure, and I've been wanting to grab Black Condor for weeks, but Kept putting him off, I've also been putting off collecting the Showa Riders for months, v3 being the main one i want....

I could get both, or I can get Masterpiece Red Alert....this is a hard decision

I would grab the Figuarts first, if I were you.
Unless it's Kuuga Growing, the aftermarket prices for them are always on the rise.
That, and TFs tend to get multiple releases, while you'd have to pray to god for Figuarts to have another release.

I chose to just get black condor, I could afford V3 this week but i think i'll wait a little bit

Actually, going by Mandarake, a lot of Figuarts are dropping in price. Gosei Knight in particular was going for upwards of $80 a while ago, now he's going for $20-$40.

Just picked up my SHF Fourze off the shelf to admire him for a bit when I noticed one of the tips of the silver wings on the side of his head is broken! I looked at a picture I took when I first got it and it's apparently been like this since before I opened it. What a shame. It's very minor and the break is at an angle that's similar to the pointed tip in the first place, so I covered up the broken part with a bit of silver paint so it just looks like a *very* minor mold defect, but man that annoys me.

Opened up my Wizard today and I have to say the red finish is gorgeous. Not had a proper chance to pose him, but even just handling him I can see that the Wizardriver is an absolute nightmare. It fits really loosely and drops off at any given chance.

This. I honestly felt really lucky when they announced Ryuki's reissue, however if we're talking web exclusives...yeah...I will probably never own Kintaros.

That sucks...mine came slightly bent out of package.

That's what I've read/seen in the few reviews I've seen of him. That's really unfortunate....

You can't just glue the driver back on?

But then you lose the luxury of switching between the two sides.

Oh, I didn't know it could switch.

Yeah, he comes with the default/henshin driver already on, as well as the driver in the lupachi magic position. He also comes with an extra belt (meant to be used with the other cape parts), so in theory you could just glue one to one belt and one to the other, but even if I rarely do it..I like having the option of switching things out and having the figure..more or less unaltered if I can help it.

Oh yeah, I just won a GokaiRed off ebay for $49 from a US seller!!!! My Gokaiger team is complete.

I'm a huge fan of the Super Sentai Figuarts and am closing in on having a full collection.
I've never had a problem until I got my Hyper Shinken Red. The Kyoryumaru's handle snapped off when putting it in his hand, so I was pretty devastated. I glued it back on (It was pretty clean break) and it seems to sit but now I'm terrified to move Hyper Shinken Red from his pose, which is really disappointing; out of all the Shinkengers Hyper Shinken Red was my favourite! How rare is he on Mandarake? I saw him again on there today but he sold out, I'd like to replace him because even though the Kyoryumaru looks perfect still, I know that it isn't and I'm OCD enough to have it bother me whenever I look at my shelf.

But all in all I'm super-impressed by the Figuarts line. After suffering through abysmal figures in Revoltech, I find Figuarts to be perfection. Looking into getting Basco, the Jetmans and Gosei Knight, although it bothers me that it looks like we'll never have a full set of Jetman and Goseiger...

I can't wait for Tyrannoranger and Dragonranger and the Dekaranger girls. Do we have any word on the other Zyurangers coming out? I would absolutely die for a full set.

PS: First Tokunation post, yeah!

That's the super form with the white cloak, right?

Being that I was going on Mandrake every few hours in the last two weeks, I think I've seen him appear at least 5 times, three of which were in the last few days.

Nah, that's Super Shinken Red. Hyper Shinken Red was an exclusive, its the same mold but in red, white and gold and comes with the Kyoryumaru accessory instead of the Super's accessories.

Super Shinken Red is the cheapest Shinkenger you can get. It seems like every time I got to place an order there's one for 1500, and occasionally for 1000, but I keep not biting. I will one of these days though.

I haven't noticed Hyper nearly as much, he's probably like most exclusives, not always in stock, but when he is anywhere from 3000-5000. But i could be wrong. I don't see one on there right now.

I haven't heard anything about the other Zyurangers. I have a small suspicion that we're only going to get Red and Green. That being said, I hope to God I'm wrong because I would order a full set of Zyurangers in nothing flat!

PS: Welcome to the forums!

Bouken Red is pretty great.

His shoulder joints are ugly as hell, and the right side is a little bit loose than I would like, but he's really sharp looking otherwise, and poses well despite the goofy shoulders, and he's got a ton of accessories. I love that he can dual wield his gun, or the spears.

Want the rest of the team now.
