I suspect the "Red mass release then everything else exclusive" is part of their marketing plan. Get fans hooked with the cheap Red then they preorder the other colors direct from Bandai, where they get a higher cut of the money.

Red Buster and GokaiRed are that recent?

I think he meant in terms of release dates relating to their air dates, as in during Gokaiger's debut year, GokaiRed was released in September

I think Basco's offically my favrioute SHF now. Sally doesn't have any diecast on her, but man she feels like she weighs a ton.

I decided to re arrange my figuarts display, since I wanna put him clashing with Marvellous…I'll put photos up when I'm done reposing everything.

I've decided that for Akibaranger season 2, I want to see Gaored as well as Gekired. That way I can put Gaored, Gekired, and Red Buster in a line and then LaToraTah in front of them.

I want Akiba to have Ninja Red, Ryuu Ranger, and AbareRed.

I wouldn't mind Ninja Red.
But it's still GekiRed who I'm gunning for to appear in Akiba S2.

My guess for Sentai Figuarts in Akibaranger S2 are Akaranger (Goranger) and Tyranno Ranger (Zyuranger) since both already got prototypes. And maybe Magi Red since there's SRC Magi King already.

I like this game. Honestly I would be excited for any new reds, but for me personally. I would like Magi Red or Akaranger ( I want somebody with a cape ) Red Racer & Gosei Red.

Gosei Red, Kyoryuger Red King, or what's the point. And if they do make King, he better be able to pose doing the Samba! Samba!

Magiranger figuarts would break me. If they did all 14 of them (that's only counting normal Wolzard for the villains) I would buy them all.

Derringer, the infamous Bluefin representative, just said on 4chan that Odin from KR Ryuki is a standard release, and should be in the next round of preorders. And he comes with Gold Phoenix.

You're not the only one.

Awesome news. I had a feeling Odin might come with Gold Phoenix since that was a relatively small one. That it was only in the show for like 2 seconds in the last episode. It'd flop as a web exclusive :lol. Now I just need news on Alternative Zero and Psyrogue.

Frigging sweet! Odin and Alternative are the only other Ryuki riders I need to be happy. I was more than willing to pay exclusive prices for Goldphoenix if I had to, but this is pleasant news :D

The most of Magiranger I've seen is the footage in Mystic Force,but I love those designs.There need to be more Ranger teams with capes,so many posing possibilities.

I got a hilarious email from my buddy Joe yesterday. Joe is definitely a fanboy. He's a big gamer, but also into various animes, Godzilla, some Power Rangers, comics, and so forth. He's always up for tokusatsu when I bring stuff over. (For example, we watched the first episode of Gokaiger a few months ago and he is still raving about it.) Anyway, this is the email:

Dude,

Check out this link. You're the Kamen Rider expert, so I have no idea who/what this character is. I just know the fig is amazing.

Joe

I just had to laugh for a few moments. Then I sent him an email back about what S.H. Figuarts is and who Kamen Rider Wizard is, and his different forms and such. So I may have converted him into a Figuarts buyer. :lol

His wallet will start to curse your name soon enough

Be nice and point him in the direction of another site. I'm pretty damn sure you can find it for cheaper than $80 :lol
If he's gonna be buying Figuarts, he's gonna need every spare penny :p

Yeah, if he expresses an interest I will make some other suggestions.

Honestly, I think if he get into anything it will be the SRCs or Soul of Chogokins just because he really digs meka.

So the second half of the anniversary stages? Yep, AmiAmi did bundle them with Beast just like they were with Wizard Flame Dragon before.

And naturally they're all sold out already, along with Odin.

So after watching Kyoruger episode 2, I'm real curious to see how they'll handle their Figuarts now…I hope to god they don't screw us over and make the Arms On parts exclusive.

They better not. I want that team! I just know that if they even consider making the villains, they'd be exclusive. Which sucks cause I want Canderrilla and Luckyuro :cry.


I still need to get GokaiGreen, but only for Navi :lol

They could probably pretty easily make it a clip on piece. If not, then maybe a swappable arm?

I'm set on Gokaigers. I have them all. Only waiting for Warz Gil. Still hoping for a Go-On Wings hybrid.

I like the clip idea, shouldn't be too hard to make. Swappable arm could work, but only if it doesn't damage the shoulder socket.

I'm only aiming for the "Passive" trio from the Gokaigers (Don, Ahim, Gai.) May aim for the other 3 at a later date. But if I ever find Basco for a real nice price and I have the money for it after Wizard's rings are all over with, I'd jump on it.

Well the shoulder armour I could see being a clip on piece with an alternate arm attatchment…but I really hope Bandai doesn't screw us over for these parts like they're doing Beast

sigh

THEY'RE NOT SOLD OUT. WE WENT THROUGH THIS LAST MONTH. The way amiami's system works is that they have the listings up but have the status as either "On Sale Soon" or "Sold Out". They don't go live till 4pm in Japan (which is 6pm in Australia), so 2am EST on the East Coast of America.

If you miss out on amiami, they WILL still be INSTOCK on either Hobby Search or HLJ; so calm down.

Wow, no need to be such a jerk about it. I know what's going on. My post was more for the sake of letting people know they'll be up and that the stands are with them.

Preordering Beast on Amiami was a complete failure, which I blame on their stupid as hell stage campaign system. Probably would have been able to get one if I hadn't specifically been gunning for the Beast stage, but oh well.

Snagged one on Hobbysearch instead. Dunno what stage it'll come with, but its the figure I want anyway.

Same here (with the AmiAmi deal; was too tired to even think of looking somewhere else heh). The site was just dead for me from 2:00 to 2:10, at which point of course they were actually sold out. Could've grabbed an Odin if I really wanted, but of course a minute later hew as gone too.

Amiami have Beast back in stock (well, every version but the one with the Beast stand) so I've cancelled with Hobbysearch and ordered the W stage version. I'd rather get a stage for a figure I have then run the risk of a random one.

And they're still open, several hours later.

I don't know yet whether I'll regret passing on them, though, since I really do want the Beast stage over the others...

For those looking to preorder Green and Red from BBTS:

$44.99 each, just a bit more than others.

Got mine, thanks.

Cool, thanks.

pre-ordered off bbts until amazon throws up an order page

Yeah, I put a couple of placeholder pre-orders down as well.

Preordered Green Ranger. Wonder if I should just go ahead and order the SRC Megazord from them as well? TRU.com shows their available date as next week... I wonder if that means in store as well? Hrrn.

They should just call it Big Bad PlaceHolder Store since thats pretty much what they've become for me within the past 1-2 years.

Was Figuarts Agito Gills recently reissued? He's not that expensive on Amazon.

I like to call them Big Bad Get-charged-up-the-ass-for-slow-as-fuck-shipping-and-nailed-on-customs-every-time Store.
