Anyway, I was moderately pleased to find that the SG Boost Eyecons aren't completely useless. I thought they were like Ikkyu, where there's nothing inside, but they actually have a fully functioning face-switching mechanism. It's just they use a filler piece of plastic instead of the actual piece with space for the stickers and everything. Not ideal, but usable to an extent. Maybe if I can find a way to cut off the flame horns without it looking like crap...kinda wanting to turn this into a Napoleon.

Also, I love Gaim. Its colors are great, this thing is perfect. I was concerned the colors would look weird, but it's fantastic. I love it. It is making me seriously reconsider passing on the Legend Rider Set, because I want more Legend Rider Eyecons now. Alas, I am not made of money. Gaim is super sexy though.

The candy toy Goemon and Ryoma are pretty cool. I wish Ryoma particularly was shinier, but they are both pretty good. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the flat stickers, but having in them in hand I quite like them. There's an added element of show-accuracy and it kinda makes me want to hunt down the rest of the Eyecons in SG form. I also gotta say, I much prefer the mechanism for the candy toys over the DX one. It takes slightly more force but just with that it just feels...better, somehow. It's nice, I like it.

I also got the TV-Kun with Ikkyu. The magazine is pretty neat. I like the fact that it came with coloring pages, including some for Ghost. Incredible, really. The Ikkyu Eyecon isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. It's not great, but I don't hate it. The fact that it comes with two of the top stickers is a nice bonus, though. I'm thinking of trying to turn one of my leftover candy toy Eyecons into a proper Ikkyu...

I should probably find a real way to display these.
