Paid off the Ex-Aid set yesterday since it should be hitting online retailers next Saturday. Really looking forward to getting the 3 main gamers in one shot rather than waiting a month between each release.

Welp. Was looking at some pictures of the Ex-Aid Figuarts in anticipation of their approaching release, when I noticed something really unfortunate. Also really glaring so I don't even know how I went all these months without noticing.

Brave's collar and the surrounding area is supposed to be white, much like Ex-Aid's is green. But the Figuarts just has it unpainted, all silver...

That's super lame. Between this and the sword, Brave's figure is honestly pretty disappointing as far as accuracy goes. I guess it's not a deal breaker, but considering it's Figuarts, it's pretty bad. Even the LVUR has the collar in the right color. This is just an absurd oversight.

New page about the Mighty Action Beginning Set.

Plus some nice pictures of bike boy.




Want this bike.

Sadly, spotted yet another inaccuracy with these guys. The visor on Snipe's Level 1 face isn't red. I guess it's pretty minor, but I'm still unhappy about it.

[Shin Henshin]

Those definitely sound nitpicky in my case. I'm pretty sure Snipe's Lvl 1 visor on his back has always been black. The red comes from his eyes, but in Lvl 2 they're blacked out like all the other Lvl 2 riders. I don't remember it being red, personally. That or it's just never been remotely noticeable.

And Brave's collar is...eh? I could care less. I actually think the choice for silver looks more consistent and less cheap than if they went with stark white.

The packaging of the three pack is really cool, I dig it.

But man, they really didn’t do a good job with some the details on these. What a shame.

They kinda are, but this isn't a gimmick line. Accuracy to the source material and amazing articulation is what makes these figures what they are. And they charge the price for it, so I see no reason to not point out what they didn’t get right.

Apparently not.

It is noticeable if you look for it, but how often do they show the suit's back anyways? Or rather why should it be the focus of what you look for? Hell, I didn't know his visor was red either, I just noticed it now.

Still, shame on Tamashii for not making it red.

That’s cool and all, but I think accuracy is more important.

[SPLIT LIP]

For the price these figures command, you have every right to be nit picky. Figuarts are a higher standard, a standard they themselves set. Your buying the figures for the accuracy and attention to detail, so if they failed in that, it's totally fine to complain.
