The little Yurusen is great though.

Sorry, that wasn't about Kuuga at all, isn't it? But nobody can deny toys are a part of christmas, so how big is the rider-side of your collection looking nowadays?

I mean, if I didn't want people to share their Ghost Figuarts thoughts, I wouldn't have posted it! (Also, this is the Show Discussion forum, not the Toys And Collectables forum, so if anything I'm in the wrong.)

I'm probably never going to be someone who's posting Figuarts reviews or anything. I'm generally not that picky. I just want a highly-detailed plastic man to stand next to all of my other highly-detailed plastic mans, to represent the Kamen Rider shows I've finished, and I'd very much like them to not fall over. That's about all of my criteria. On that level, Ghost Ore Damashii is a resounding success. Let's check the scoreboard!

HIGHLY-DETAILED PLASTIC MAN - Yes
LOOKS OKAY STANDING NEXT TO OTHER HIGHLY-DETAILED PLASTIC MANS - Yes
DID I WATCH ALL OF GHOST - Yes
IS HE STILL STANDING UP - Yes

Four stars, a perfect figure. I maybe mentioned this before, but my Kamen Rider figure collection is mostly just, like, a statuary representing my progress through the franchise. Little trophies, you know?

As for that collection, it's going as well as I'd hope, with its current status as Staying Within Established Boundaries. That's all I want from the things I'm collecting, to not stress me out with higher bills and needing more space. I've got just enough room for the 20 main Heisei Riders (along with the eventual Reiwa ones) and I haven't needed to move stuff around yet. I haven't gotten all of the Riders I'd need to represent the shows I've finished (still need to track down/decide to shell out big bucks for Double, Fourze, Wizard, and Build), but I'm happy where it's at. It's growing at an appropriate speed, you know?
