Beast and DragonRanger arrived today...

Most interesting thing about the two?

The packaging. Seriously, I find it... interesting. For starters, the standard silver insert for Beast when other recent Riders have had fancier inserts is somewhat disappointing. :P

But besides that, I find it really interesting how both figures simply have a set-in cover for their trays. I've only ever seen that before on secondary trays for larger accessories. There's no unnecessarily massive outer shell for these two. I like it and it's clearly a cost-saving measure. But dang popping those out sends hands flying more than the shells ever did haha.

Beast... Yeah, the guy's go no abdomen. And it's noticeable... But you can arch his back and expose quite a bit of his stomach tucked inside there to help with the look. I really don't get why his abdomen is so curved. The new neck piece that debuted with the other Wizard styles is great - clearly meant to get over the collar and it helps. It doesn't look bad either. I only wish Flame Style had it.

Everything else I like. Although I am tempted to through away the mayo bottle in disgust. :P

DragonRanger... Well, he's my first Sentai Figuart. And he kind of does make me wish I had gotten GokaiSilver like I kept telling myself to. Zero flops to his joints, although there is something rattling inside of him when shaken (gently of course) that's kinda weird. I think it's the shoulder covers? Hard to tell with the shield blocking them for the most part.

I haven't tried the dagger pose everyone's up in arms about, but so long as I can get close I won't be too upset. I really do like him, which is good, because it was essentially a pure nostalgia buy.
