That key carries itself with swagger. The set looks nice.

A few things ive received in the last few weeks. Having not seen much of gobusters, i REALLY love the toyline. Buster Hercules especially.

No real reasoning behind this purchase other than he looked cool, sorta like if Billy was an RPM Ranger.

I might have to grab the other sort of MMPR RPM blend figures now, I mean they are no figuarts, the limitation in movement is frustrating at times but they are nice and sturdy and really cool looking.

Oddly enough those 3 figures (aside from Titanium Ranger) are the only BOA figures I've ever wanted. They'll go nice with my Kyoretsu-Oh and the eventual Go-Onger figuarts way down the line.

Yeah I usually don't bother with BOA Figures as they are usually really shit moulds and sculpts, never once was a Ranger played by Arnold Schwarzenegger so why make them into an absolute beefcake?

They seemed to strike a better balance with the RPM figures, as they are much more streamlined but also bulkier than Figuarts (which I actually like because I find the sentai figures tend to look at tad anorexic compared to the Rider Figuarts) plus look at that sweet smoking jacket.

I may have to paint the weapons at some point as well and maybe redo some of the paint on the body but overall it's really cool and I got it really cheap (like the third of a figuart with postage).

Good deal. Considering these guys can fetch $20-30 normally.

Wow. About 2 years ago these were EVERYWHERE in the UK for about £2.99 or less.

Yeah, now they are like six quid with postage, still a good deal in my mind.

Definitely, the RPM Rangers are great toys. I picked up the 7 show rangers while they were all cheap (think I paid about £20 for them all) and kinda regret not getting the dino ones.
