S.H.Figuarts Akiba Red review
 

Hacchaka provides us with our extensive in depth gallery of S.H.Figuarts AkibaRed.

AkibaRed’s accessory count includes: various hands for posing options, the Moe Magnum, a scarf, and Tamashi Act stage stands for himself, and the other Akibarangers!

Need it now.

I've not watched a single episode of Akibaranger, but I must admit that is an amazing figure. It just looks so natural, and the costume design lends itself well to hiding the articulation joints. His proportions are awesome too; I find it funny that he looks more beefed up than Fourze, as Kamen Riders are supposed to be bulkier.

what does the box look like?

Here ya go!...Full of rainbow goodness

Even the box looks a bit Unofficial :lol.

I'm with you on this...though the knees joints are exposed...but some sweet poses indeed!

Yup, gotta have it. Rainbows seal the deal.

I kind of really need one right now.

I can't wait to get mine!

I was just alerted by AmiAmi that Akiba Red is in stock, awaiting my payment. Kinda wish I hadn't chosen SAL shipping, but oh well.

am I the only one who thinks his head is a little big?

Just paid for mine :D

I haven't ordered mine yet :(

I missed out on all the preorders, so I'm having to wait for him to pop up on eBay. I hope eBay sellers will send the stands out too, Im not getting the girls, but free stands are free stands =p

He's available on amiami now. I have a feeling none of them are going to sell out super fast.

Does anyone know if order from HLJ include the tamashii stands? They aren't shown in the pictures, but shouldn't all first-release figures come with them?

Not all S.H.Figuarts includes stands

yeah...see recent Ryuki releases...*grumble*

I'm just stocking up on act 4s and one set of act 5 stages...

I know, but Akiba Red comes with 3 stands (red, blue, and yellow for each Akiba ranger) as a first release bonus.

All stores should carry first release bonus. I mean HLJ had first release bonus for Gokaigers, so they should have them for Akiba Red

I want to buy some on AmiAmi with AkibaRed, but they only have the blue ones in stock, that's kinda lame. But the price is too good to pass up.

Since I love Akibaranger, I'm also thinking about getting this one. Sigh, I really need to sell my TF toys to make money for this expensive hobby.

It will say in your order confirmation from HLJ if it includes the pre-order bonus. They don't seem to be very popular in Japan, so it shouldn't be too hard to find them.

Ahh cheers, found one on eBay with all the stands though for about £35 shipped =)

Was going to get Dekared too but Im going to wait and see if i can finally win the Ninja storm stuff I've been watching first =p

As much as I would love to get the 3 Akibarangers I need to hold off with there so much stuff coming out from other lines.

However, I will be the first person in line to buy the Alpaca monster (the first one) if they do it! :P

The fact that Dekared has no first run pre order bonus should hopefully mean he'll be easy to track down.
