Finally pulled the trigger on Figuarts Shin Nigo since with Riderman, and soon X coming out I just know the price is going to shoot up on all the Showa Riders.

Prices on Figuarts seem to shoot up out of the blue and for no reason. Black RX was $27 everywhere when I was looking for Black last summer. Now he is suddenly like $70 and I don't get why. If I wasn't willing to pay $30 for him, why am I going to pay $70?

Just ordered princess shinken red, shinken gold, ooo's katakiriba and Diend complete form, finally going to plug some collection holes.

Also just received, well yesterday, 4 zodiarts and meteostar, all I need now is a spare detolf to organise by series shelf

Supply and demand I guess. People don't always have money when something is new and by the time they do only a few sellers have it and can charge whatever they want.

Purchases from the 80's toy expo:


Metal Build Exia
D-Arts Classic Megaman
Some VRV Robo figure I don't reconize…don't know much about it except for the fact that it launches it's fists.

Let me know how the eyes on your Exia look. Want to know if its isolated or widespread.

Watch out for the legs on D-Arts Rockman. Small plastic joint doesn't take too well to stressing.

The eyes on mine look fine to me, what's the issue with them?

Mine has an ever so slightly smaller left eye painted. I think its missing a stroke of white to give it that reflective look. Its minor as hell so don't sweat it but mine looks squinty to me. Overall its an awesome figure and quite painless to swap parts. Just too bad it didn't come with Repair (Terminator Exia) parts and no light gimmick. Great stand too.

I normally don't buy Gundam action figures all too often because I prefer to build them, I mostly got the Metal Build Exia for the R3 parts since that doesn't exist in toy form anywhere else.

I will say this about it: I was dissapointed by the size of the figure, considering how much it is…but once I held it in hand and saw how hefty it was, it more then made up for it.

Good to hear. Guessed I was slightly unlucky in that regard.

Yeah, its my first Metal Build and I am impressed by it. Scale wise I knew going in it was going to be 1/100 in size (which is about the size of a Master Grade model kit) but what surprised me was the weight of the box. I thought that the "Metal" in the Metal Build was exagerrated but because of how evenly its distributed througout the figure, it actually feels pretty balanced but hefty.
