[Chasing]

I mean, you raise some very fair points. Most of us have the kid in ourselves that want the cool thing we just saw on TV as soon as possible. It only makes sense you wouldn't want to wait long after a new Rider, powerup, weapon, or whatever makes its debut to have it represented on your desk. It just makes sense.

It's a shame that Figuarts just can't do that anymore. On the bright side, it seems that whereever Figuarts falls short, alternatives have been looking better and better. RKF if you want cheaper but still articulated, SO-DO if you want suits that Figuarts can't even fathom to cover, and SHF Upgrade nowadays seems to have something for most releases.

Honestly, I cannot be bothered to wait for releases anymore. I'd rather have the newest, coolest thing before I burn myself out and lose interest in it. My most anticipated SH Figuarts ever was Kamen Rider Chaser. I'll never forget how fucking miserable the wait was. He debuted in April 2015 and the SH Figuarts release was January 2016. I don't want to go through anything like that anymore. Like, can you imagine being the world's biggest Build Genius fan? 2 and a half shows have ended since it debuted.
