I didn't know that, that's pretty good. It's a huge change to how much American Hasbro and Bandai exclusives bump prices just for the word "exclusive".

Not really but alot of people like to exaggerate their prices. Sometimes they're more but more often than not they may only be 1000 yen more. Just look at Pterra Ranger vs Tyranno and Dragon. I think she's only a couple hundred yen more at most.

Yeah, which is why I imagine a lot of stuff is made web exclusive. To the Japanese audience they probably aren't paying that much more so don't mind it.

Concerning Walz Gil, what happened to these tassels?

[Dr Kain]

Maybe his tassels are bendable? Okay, probably not, but it would be nice.

I do actually think he looks more bad ass without them though.

Which is interestingly not a window box.

Looks like the Basco box.

How many other hands would Gils even come with. The only gestures I ever remembered him doing were points, firsts and splayed hands, which he comes with. He never used any weapons either so basically he comes with what he needs.

As for the tassel change, I bet it was due to fragility. The neutral ones were probably more durable than the kinetic-looking ones.

Crap! I just broke a piece off one of Iron Man's back panels, when trying to pull it off.
For those that hadn't yet figured it out, don't pull on the bottom of the back panels, pry on the top where it's connected.

Dragon Ranger(s) arrived today!

He's beautiful, really is, definitely captures the shape and emotion of Burai, but I do have one complaint: Getting him in a decent pose playing the Zyusouken is extremely difficult. You cannot get him in as perfect pose as on the front of the box because his right arm and hand can't bend that far. That bothers me quite a bit.

Meh, I'm pretty used to that now. If they show their arms posed in a certain way on the box, they usually don't bend like that. It is the same for V3 and Ichigo.

As for a decent pose playing the Zyusouken, turn his head. His right hand won't be able to fully touch the flute's keys, but you can get it close enough where it creates the illusion of doing so. Here is my pic?
