I'm looking on various toy websites, and I'm contemplating bad decisions (financial, but probably also emotional), and it's late at night, and I've got a question for folks. Super subjective, possibly divisive, but I need some feedback.
I don't really buy Figuarts normally. I'm not a big action figure guy. I prefer stuff that has a creation component (Figure-Rise, SO-DO), or non-toku stuff that has a puzzle element (Transformers). I don't really buy Marvel Legends or Black Series or Lightning Collection or any of that stuff. I certainly don't buy high-end action figures. I don't really play with them,
interact
with them, enough to feel like they're worth the cost. They just sit up on a shelf for me to look at.
But, like, that's why I
do
buy some Kamen Rider Figuarts. If I've finished a series, I get a Figuarts of the main Rider's main suit and I put it on the shelf. It's a little trophy, something to commemorate a point in my life. Thanks to the Rider Kicks rereleases a couple years ago, I picked up a bunch fairly cheap. With recent Seihou releases, I've been able to close out a few more. Now, what's left is a bit more of an investment.
I'm finally taking the plunge on some Seihou figures that were previously out of my reach. Ordered the Wizard Flame Style a couple days ago from AmiAmi's used section, bundling together with a few preorders that were shipping out. That plastic boy was a piece I've wanted for a while, and he came out to a Not Terrible If I'm Using Money I Got As A Gift amount of $140. Now I'm looking around at other stuff and... like I said, I could use some feedback.
I don't really want to rebuy a figure down the line. If I buy an Agito (for instance), I want it to be the last Agito I'm going to buy. I'm honestly not super-picky with my figures, so they don't need to be flawless. I just... I don't want them to suck? So, here's my question:
Would you say it's worth paying the current aftermarket prices for the base suit Seihou versions of Kuuga (not Decade), Agito, Hibiki, Kabuto, Decade (original, not Neo) and Double?
Again, for my purposes, I just want the best-looking figure I can get. Limited articulation doesn't really bother me, but wonky scale/design would. Do you think a better version of those characters is likely to be released? Do you think the Seihous for those characters have aged poorly?
I'm not really looking to get talked into or out of any imminent purchases, but I'm curious if you think I'd be better served holding off on any of those figures. Thanks in advance for your help!
