Yeah, I know about the statues because they have the entire New World cast, but I've been buying Bandai's Stylings for One Piece, and the PVCs around that size, so I'm good there. It would be nice to have the entire cast with full posseable figures.

Of course, I need to ask before I decided to get into these lines, how fragile are they? Like, is Black's antennas going to break if he falls or another figure falls on top of him? The reason I ask is because I pretty much just got rid of my entire Final Fantasy Plays Arts collection because it turned out the figures were even more fragile than the DC Direct ones and would break if they fell off the shelf 2 feet onto a rugged floor.

Oh, the figures I was referring to were these:

Yeah those are all Souchaku Henshins aside from the Ixas. Which, like Switchblade said, is the line that predates SH Figuarts. The Den-O and Kiva figure from the line are essentially protoypes of what became Figuarts. They feature quite a bit of diecast, interchangeable hands and armor, and alot of articulation.

My bad for not remembering Ixa and Rising. They were also released in Figuarts but unfortunately Blade, Garren, Chalice, Kiva in any other forms, Saga, basically all of the other riders from both shows have yet to be released

Durability varies from figure to figure. Some - like W and G3 - have some pretty thin solid pieces of plastic that could easily break after a tumble. Black isn't like that - he's a dead solid figure and his antennae are made of a fairly soft, almost rubbery plastic that will bend a lot before it breaks. Shadow Moon, sadly, I cannot say the same for - his crest is very thin and inflexible. I'd keep him near the back of the shelf if you're worried. A lot of Figuarts have die cast feet, though, which makes it less likely for them to fall over (although, again, Shadow Moon misses out by having the increasingly common plastic feet).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe I should see if I can find that ShinkenRed in TRU and see if the plastic is going to be worth it to me to get. I mean, I'm fine with hard plastic on figures that ar elike $20, but if I am going to end up paying $75 for something, I want to make sure it is not going to just snap in an instant. Granted, I'll most likely keep the boxes, so if I do move or anything, I'd put them back in their boxes, but I'm thinking more of when I go to dust the guy off. Is a piece going to snape if I move my cloth too fast or rough?

Actually, isn't that Red Hawk supposed to be coming out to TRU stores like the Shinkengers did? By that Bluefin company?

[Shinken Red]

So I got some birthday money from my family and im looking to get my next figuart or another megazord from PRMF (would be the solar streak megazord).
Im huge into dragon knight/Ryuki right now but I also love W a ton and I relay like the suit for KR fourze.

For those who have them. Are either Knight w/ dark wing or fourze base states or Zolta worth anything or should I look for others?
Also, how bad is the quality and size difference on the figmas compared to the ryuki figuarts?
Thanks guys

Shinken Red is nowhere near worth $75, as he isn't an exclusive. He is $35 at retail and you can probably get him online for even cheaper. Also, Figuarts aren't fragile at all, they use very sturdy plastic and I don't think a cloth could even scratch them. And nobody ever said Red Hawk was coming to TRU, he is just being imported by Bluefin like the majority of all Figuarts that are released.

I ended up getting fourze base states on ebay fro 39 shipped by wendsay! booya!

Don't know about the figma's, I think they might be a little smaller and are slightly lower quality and have cloth capes...

However I do own both Fourze and Knight and you can't go wrong with either. Knight you get tons of extra bits for your money, but his cape sits a little far back making him look a little odd. Fourze is good all round although you can't really pose him with his drill leg without a stand of some sort.

As much as I like Fourze , I personally prefer Knight I think, so much awesomness in one box =]

You could have gotten it from AmiAmi for cheaper but I guess its worth the extra money for faster shipping.
