Gaim toy thread - Who's in?

I don't think there's an AC Knuckle yet, I was refering to the lockseeds. Sorry if I misled you.

My bad! I'm really excited for the Premium Bandai AC knuckle, so I may have jumped the gun. I just really hope I'm able to get one.

So messing around with the Arms Change figure and that got me thinking:

Why is it that people want the Figuarts to replicate this gimmick or parts swap?

Seriously, the latter is more trouble then it would be worth and there's no way of doing the former with hard ABS plastic without it costing twice as much as they do or run the risk of parts breaking.

Because they don't have enough money. If money weren't a problem and they gave every single arms a different figuart, I'd buy them all, though, I'm sort of doing that already because I'm insane.

I would like the figuarts to have gimmicks, but then like you said, I'd be very weary of breakage. And it's cool to have the best representation of something perform like it does on the show.

Lots of people these days are sticklers for screen accuracy.

And some people can't justify buying multiple figures that are only slightly different. Again, money.

Mandarake has a DX Kachidoki Lock Seed for ¥2,000 and a DX Ichigo Lock Seed for ¥1,600.

Just Preordered the DX Knuckle and Kurokage lockseed and faceplate set from CS Toys after having to deal with the credit card company. Apparently some how it goes through Singapore. Still looking forward to September for those two.

Gaim's head sure squeaks a lot. Should I be worried?

Guyver Spawn · 05-10-2014, 01:49 PM

Will Kamen Rider 15 get a AC figure soon?

ARQ · 05-10-2014, 02:43 PM

If he ever gets a figure chances are it won't be for looooong time, hell we're not even getting sigurd and marika until I think September?

Also just recently found out how easy it is to part swap the Ac figures, like when duke comes out I can just take his belt and put it on baron for ULTIMATE ACCURACY!

How do get the Genesis Core for my Gaim belt?
