From what I've seen of the Blade riders they are LEAGUES ahead of the Wizard ones .

true And I have to admit compared to the other Wizard figures my Infinity does look pretty good. It's just compared to the beauty that is PBM Wizard Flame style who comes with more accessories/detail it's hard to be a fair judge about it.

Well, BBTS is still processing my payment *currently wishing they were also able to accomplish completing this shit during the weekends* so I'll probably get the payment update tomorrow morning or this afternoon, I'd go with tomorrow cause I usually never have stuff like that happen from them during the weekends

I've been reading CookSux's reviews on the Ryuki SHF figures - I actually find his site really useful - and I noticed that there are quite a few Ryuki characters whre he seems to actually like the figmas better.

I'm just interested in what your guys thoughts are on this, because as far as I'd seen before I read his reviews, the figmas were pretty universally shat on but I dunno whether that was just SHF elitism and CookSux is the voice of reason or if he is genuinely a rare case and the figmas are crap.

So I got Garren & Red Rhombus, but due to an unforunate accident whilst sorting out the shelfs, I broke the bike's handles and had to superglue it.

Garren though is pretty cool and the cardholder is already sorted out.

I'm still worried about the head a bit though, but have been careful with it and sorting out

The pack actually comes with an extra set of handles in-case this happens, now unless it's snapped off the part that the spares go on aswell, then superglue is definitely needed.

I had Knight Survive since last January & since there wasn't a Figma of that one, I'm gonna say that Knight Survive was a good figuart, plus it was voted as best figuart of 2012 .

While tastes might depend on person, IMO the Figmas don't hold a candle to the Figuarts. Just overall better building quality(fuck that modular arm design!) and accessory count. I've attached two images I took as a comparison back in the day, Figma is on the left, Figuarts is on the right. Though I will say this, Figmas are great alternative if you don't want to pay $10,000+ yen for Gai/Thrust .

Compared to Figuarts, the Figmas look less toy-like in my opinion.

Wing Knight is the only one of his that I read so far where he flat out hated the Figma (I've only read reviews for like half the Riders). Other reviews, like SHF Ryuki, he seems to only place the figure at a higher standing because of the Contract Monster in the set. He has loads of pros for the figma version. Then take the SHF Ouja review, you can really see what he means about the poor sculpting and shitty paint, he seems to love the Figma and the Figma really does look a whole lot better in his comparative photos.
