And then one final figure for whatever final form they take.

I'll be pretty damn pissed if I have one figure with all the armours for the first half of the show, and then I'd be forced to buy like six more versions of each figure just to get the mid-season and final stretch upgrades I like. If that became the case, I may as well just wait for the SHFs for the final and upgrade forms.

That would be ideal. But assuming that only Baron and Gaim get mid and final forms, and the others stick with 3 each, that would still be, 9 base figures and at least 5 add on sets, add the bikes and it gets worse... Man multi rider shows must be a pain in to completists.

The SHFs, man they'll be sweet.

Luckily for me, right now I really don't care much for Baron, so unless I really enjoy him in the show I won't have to worry too much about his sets.

He was easily my least liked form, but those stupid goofy shoulder pads won me over, at least toy wise, since large shoulder pads tend to be problematic on the suits.

Right now my least favourite is Zangetsu, as it's bland as fuck. What I don't like about Baron is how obvious his suit is. Like his shoulder pads, and his helmet decals, and his weapon are all literally bananas. Like I know Gaim has the orange slice sword, but it still isn't quite as in your face as his.

Same.

They all do a good job of matching the motifs without just straight up being giant fruit, save for Baron who looks nothing like an actual armoured warrior and just some loon wearing a big plastic banana with silly banana ears on his head.

Gaim, had you not told me is wearing a giant orange, I likely wouldn't have guessed.

Slightly off-topic: How reliable is HLJ's backorder feature? They say "we will try our very best" to get stock for those who select backorder, but that's not really surefire, is it?

Toys look good, as these always do. My concern is that the armor doesn't clip into anything as it folds up at the chest and shoulders. Gravity may wear those joints holding them up after a while.

Pictures of the figure show that there's some sort of indent on the shoulder areas in the torso, so the guy recording the video may have not noticed them at first. The armor looks more secure after the jumpcut.

Ah that will be good. It was hanging when he first folded it up so I thought it was unsecured.
