Let me stop you right there because, and again I knew I'd have to say this again, I totally see the appeal for Figuarts. I want some Figuarts. I just don't understand the "rabbit hole" as it's so often descibed.

With a Figuarts, they aren't problem free either, but since PVC is not the primary plastic used for construction, I worry less.

That's good. I never mentioned PVC. I don't even know what it is. I never even mentioned the plastics.

I'd say the rabbit hole mentality just comes from there being so many accessible, appealing figures. If you're personally above the collectivist mentality, that's fine, but a lot of people find collecting Figuarts to be rewarding for the money and time spent tracking them down.

Well another thing I like about Figuarts is that it's a very expansive line with many series largely in the same scale. So if I wanted to have a Takeru Shiba VS Joe Gibken fight, they wouldn't really look out of place. So for a tokusatsu fan, it's a great line to collect.

I thought you said, expEnsive instead of expAnsive,

it is that too, but I have started recently into SHF collecting, it is pretty good in my opinion, and I cant wait till Gokai Green gets to me from HLJ so I can go crazy over something besides Shinken Red

Oh man if it wasn't as expensive I would be buying this line like none other.

What I like about the Gokaiger Figuarts over Shinkenger are the bicep joints. They are regular bicep joints instead of being incorporated with the shoulder swivel.

those guys look too damn badass to be in the same lot as Fourze lol...excellent shots man!

I will be honest, Wizard Flame style is cool...but since then I just haven't been impressed with some of the newer lot of Figuarts...Beast and Hyper don't tug my wallet like the others did...I mean yay ryuki line...but lately I just don't find anything I have been wanting as of late..

Man those figuarts are GODLIKE!

Oh, I hate that on mine, it clicks every time I move it around, thankfully Super SR doesn't so I can play around with him

But I really hope I can find Gokai Red CHEAP soon, because I really love Gokaiger

But I was wondering, does anyone know or think that we will be getting the whole MMPR/Zyuranger Figuarts? or just Red and Green? because if we get the whole team I am going to get both of these when they come out, but we are just getting those two, I will probably just get Green

It all depends on how they sell. If Tyranno & Dragon sell well then the other 4 should definitely happen.
