See, I want all of the Ryuki riders, so no Ryuga and Verde is a big loss for me.

You COULD get away with grabbing the Figmas. While Verde sucks, Camo sucks harder so he's really easy to find.

Nah, I only want the Figuarts for consistency reasons.

Same for me. The experiences I've had with Dragon Knight figmas have shown me that they aren't a good substitute. A temporary stand-in is one thing, but I wouldn't ever get one of these over owning the actual Figuart.

Maybe I'm just weird. Yes, the Figuarts are superior in EVERY single way, but I'd rather not pay almost 100 bucks for a character that I don't like when I can get the same character for less than 20, even if the figure is slightly different than the others.

But I completely see your point. Unless you stick the Figma in the back in a neutral pose it could stick out like a sore thumb.

The Figmas were good for when they came out. It's just that the oxygen got sucked out of the room real fast when Bandai started showing the Ryuki Figuarts.

No, I can understand the logic. Personally if I was going to have a Gai in my collection, which I'd rather not because I hate the bastard, I'd go with the Figma.

Considering SHF Gai doesn't even include Metalgelas (Which would've been a huge selling point), I don't see the point in spending $70 for a character you'd probably display in the back with little regard...

I paid $94 for Gai, FOR GAI!!! I guess that shows that I'm okay with it, at least for Ryuki riders. And since no one is as bad as Gai in my book, I paid $94 for the worst of the worst. The only thing that could be worse than Gai in the riderverse is Kaixa from 555's.
