S.H. Figuarts Machine Itashar was confirmed for release!

The price will be 36,750 Yen and it will be released in November. I'm happy that it was confirmed, but that price is just horrible.

I don't think I can justify that. If someone wants to order one, hold it for me, and give melike 2 months to pay for it then definitely. But otherwise I'm screwed on this one :(

Mass release or Web Exclusive?

Is anyone here crazy enough to buy that? Youza

I'm diving in. :D

Yup, I'm pretty much never going to be able to afford that :lol

I know Akibaranger is supossed to be a fun joke series... but yea. That thing just looks fricken goofy.

:lololCan we apply for a car loan for this toy?

Well, using XE.com for a quick currency conversion, right now it would cost $460.00 USD (give or take).

I picked up Hercules for not much more than that.

Dammm.

Bandai, why you gotta be hatin' ?

Maybe, but do you even want to guess what the interest rate would be one a giant transforming mecha/car let alone the insurance??

Heck, State Farm wanted to charge me about 200.00 more a year when I bought my first new car a Dodge Neon because the small tires made it a 'sportscar' (with a 4 litre engine and automatic transmission??).

I can safely say...

"Welp, there goes that idea!"

That's nearly $500 before shipping, jeez. I was expecting something more along the lines of $200 or $300 at the most. Considering it's just a glorified foot tall Alternator this is waaaaaaay too much to justify. I guess I can go for the Power Dizer now.

my question is do the rangers fit in it like the tv show form the size looks like they might ?

Yes. It's scaled so that the Akibranger Figuarts can ride in it.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't interested in this in the first place. Though if this is a retail release, I bet this will hit DAT PRICE clearance eventually.

Hot damn. That's a bit more expensive than I thought :lol

My trigger finger is itching to pre-order this one!

My wallet on the other hand is trying to have different words (Shut up Wallet!)

The price I can... kind of justify. I mean, it is an S.H.Figuarts Transforming Vehicle (first of it's kind?) that can hold 3 (4-5 if the back seats are accurate) Figuarts figures in Car mode. It can Transform. It really is the first of its kind when it comes to Figuarts, and Bandai.

Also, this show is geared towards adults who collect toys. We are getting the first 1:1 scale Sentai Weapon/Henshin Device with the Moe Moe Z-Cune, and now we are getting a full sized Mecha that can hold the top of the line versions of their action figures.

My wallet just bit my ass again...

Interesting thing about this, is that Figuarts is collaborating with Soul of Chogokin to make this, if you look beside the Figuarts logo, you'll see their stamp.

Makes me wonder if it'll at least have some die cast to justify the price tag and cost of materials.

Yeah no. Maybe if that price was cut in half I could agree, but $400? I don't think even the 12 inch tall RAH cost that much...

I won't buying this one for 2 reasons
1. They've barely used it in the show
2. It's too freaking expensive

Good god that is expensive!

ok, so just save $1,000.00 before I even look at buying AkibaRanger merch? Got it!

"So expensively cheap!"
