I like him. I'll get him when finances let up. I want him...and the couch.

The good news is that it looks like Master Asia will be up to modern FIguarts standards, but it seems like there's gonna be no Domon face for God Gundam which kinda sucks...

So I have to know, everybody who bought Mk. 42...

How's the couch?

It's...ok. A very light piece of plastic; not fragile or anything, but not a beefy piece by any means. It's quirky and I'll enjoy it on some level when setting up displays, but I'm not wowed by it at all either.

I'd echo that as well. The 42 is gorgeous itself, easily convinced me to keep it. The couch is the lame part here. It's mostly hollow, the pillows are molded to sit at one particular angle as well and they're also hollow on the bottom. If anything the couch feels too low to the ground for my tastes. It really doesn't wow me either

Heads up for anyone who didn't see this in the main SHF Toku thread. Copying post here for you.

- B-Fighters will NOT be released in the US. They will not be importing any of them as they are all exclusives. They will not be released in this market.

- Bluefin had no idea the Akaranger body was larger than standard SHF's. They literally said "must have used a new body type" in response. So yeah, that's all on the Japanese end of things.

- Since there's no Akibaranger to market further sentai SHF's through the importation of Sentai SHF's in the US is pretty much done. They won't rule out importing the Gokaigers entirely but that's no longer their focus. Something vague about "fan demand" making it happen but that's it. They are strictly focusing, for the forseeable future, on Injustice, Mario/Video Game, and other miscellaneous figuarts. So yeah, imports of other sentais are pretty much over even if they do come out in Japan.

- Same goes for Kyoryuger. Only a big maybe about them being imported, only if there's demand. But since so many of them are exclusives it's probably not going to happen. Again vague "fan demand".

- The vague and frankly confusing answer they gave about Gaim? No. They can't release them. Because they haven't finished releasing them in Japan. It's a licensing issue.

- And a bonus for non-toku SHF fans, SHF Tuxedo Mask is coming! Tentatively for March 2015 in Japan!! Also the Kinikuman Figuarts cant currently be released because of licensing issues, but for some bizarre reason they CAN release the wresting ring tamashii stages meant to go with the Kinikuman figuarts.

Oh, the B-Fighters aren't coming to the States? That sucks. I guess I can't act all surprised since they're exclusive and Beetleborgs was more about the haunted house than the characters, but kinda disappointing.

[Yellow Ranger]

So basically anime,video game and perhaps the occasional Rider Figuarts are all we'll be getting...

*figuarts collection is 7/3 in favor of anime*

I'm okay with this.

[Matrixbeast]

I need to start getting into more anime.
