In reference to the Kamen Rider Black RX and Acrobatter US distribution story linked on the News feed, I'm f very mixed feelings.

On the one hand, Black RX was the first Kamen Rider series I watched. Following Masked Rider, I tracked down and watched the show Raw when I was in college. As such I am a huge fan of his look and of Acrobatter as well.

But on the other hand, after finally getting my Green and White Rangers, I had sworn off any more expensive, hyper-poseable Japanese toys until and unless an Ultra-Act of Ultraman 80 was released. I had pretty much put the cap on SH Figuarts. This was done primarily for spending reasons.

So, thus my dilemma. I'd love to have Black RX on his bike next to the original Rider on his Cyclone on my SH Figuarts shelf. But I don't know that I can justify spending $80 on them to my wife, or to myself. But man, they look fantastic.

Hrrrn.
