My Verde came in today. Beautiful figure if a tad minimalistic. The headsculpt is gorgeous and the Metallic green paint really gives the figure a premium feel.

Unfortunately its not all good. I had hoped he would come with a stand considering how little he had. He doesn't...which sucks since I have stands for almost all my Ryuki Riders except Taiga....and now Verde joins the rank of the Standless.

Another annoyance though it might be just a case on mine. Verde comes with a Yo-Yo weapon accessory that is attached to hands with a peg to simulate being thrown or...yo-yo'ed. The problem lies with the thin bendy wire that is supposed to simulate the "string" of the Yo-yo. It feels fragile, maybe a little too thin to bend into Sine wave like shapes or having Verde Walk the Dog or Rock the Baby (I'm from the Pro-Yo II generation). I decided after a couple of tries I'd just use the Yo-yo piece sans string in my display. Its not a major bummer but I would have thought that Bandai could have just included solid string attachment pieces like Sine wave or Shoot the Moon type shapes. The lack of a stand hurts too.
