Ugh. Forgot that if I didn't stay up late, I wouldn't be able to get a Zi-O preorder in.

At least HLJ still had a preorder open for Geiz.

Edit: AmiAmi has Zi-O preorders back up as of now.

I'm usually a big enthusiast about the Shinkocchou Seihou figures, but I think I'm cooling on them. First, it was one of the horns on Hibiki breaking after a short (low) shelf dive onto a carpet. Then it was the normal-sized scarf for W breaking.

Yesterday, I was posing Kabuto's arm - gently, not applying a lot of pressure or anything - and the plastic ring of his elbow joint snapped in half. I don't think I can realistically repair the joint with superglue without permanently losing the ability to ever use that joint again. It's making me less inclined to spend upwards of 60 dollars on a theoretically-high-end toy. Sadface.

S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Faiz (20 Kamen Rider Kicks Version)

The packaging is quite nice at least, makes me want to get a Gaim to keep MISB.

But the Faiz mold is beyond ancient at this point, the shots next to Grease are... not very flattering.

I should have Faiz coming next week. I hate rebuying a figure I already own but there was something wrong with the red painted over the silver on the helmet of mine that has always bugged the shit out of me.

Very unflattering. Also unfortunate because the accessories on Faiz are really good. (Although not quite as good as the original release; I didn't notice the phone in phone mode, f'rinstance.)

Once Shinkocchou Seihou OOO is announced, I think Faiz might be my next main-Rider priority. (Torn between it and Fourze, but I think Faiz is a little more dated given the absence of fitting holding-stuff hands.)

Thanks for posting the review link, Blade_Fang!

Question about preordering Figuarts...

Say a preorder is set to begin on the first of the month. What time of day should I be on the lookout for preorders to begin if I'm in the Pacific Time Zone in the US?

Currently, at midnight. That's for AmiAmi anyway since they keep consistent times. HLJ is usually around the same time.

Thank you so much!

Is that midnight Japan-time, or midnight PST?
