So job well done I guess

Thanks, that's pretty great praise!

Yeah, I'm going to get into that in the next review. I probably should have mentioned in it this one, but I felt I had talked enough.

The CycloneCyclone JokerJoker Tamashii set features the full form-swappability introduced with HeatMetal and LunaTrigger. So if you have no inclination to own two forms that lasted seconds in a movie, that set is excellent as you essentially get an upgraded CycloneJoker, and it frees up the original's skeleton for CJX to be displayed alongside rather than having to choose which one, which is the only major drawback of this set none of the others share.

It really is a testament to this set that, despite easily being the weakest in terms of value and options... it's still a tremendous set in terms of value and options. It really dissapoints me that the OOO SICs are so slow to release and there's no Forze SIC's. The line is so good at integrating collector-quality figures and complete gimmickry.

I have the HM/LT, FJ/Skull and Effects sets, so I will be doing galleries of them, in the coming weeks (probably do an SHF Ryuki and Greeed gallery in between). I have almost all of the Den-O sets, and will be doing those eventually too. I'd like to get the OOO figures someday, and I would LOVE a Fourze SIC.

I was thinking that someday I would get the CC/JJ set, so I can display CJX and have whichever 3 of the other 9 forms I want, but I've lately been thinking of selling these, because I need money, because I need the space, and because I didn't think I liked them as much as I first thought. But playing with it for this review, seeing all the neat accessories, makes me want to keep them again. And get CC/JJ.
