I just secured a Figuarts Zangetsu on Mandarake, and after I get a Gaim I'm pretty much done for Gaim figuarts. Maybe a Ryugen or Zangetsu-Shin, if I find them for acceptable prices.

I'd make a comment that I too am going to attempt restraint, but upon further consideration, I'm really not. I'm after the core four, Marika, Duke, Kachidoki and Kiwami Gaim, Baron Lemon Energy, and Baron Mango and Gaim Banana.

Ah, the energy Riders are going to be tough for me. I'm always going to have that feeling that if I get one or two in Figuarts/AC form, I'd want the rest within that toyline as well. But like I said, Duke's already on the way so I may go AC route.


And I absolutely love that the AC can be found for a fair price now that the Figuarts are coming out.

I FINALLY got my Zangetsu in.



This figure is so badass. Only real QC complaint I have is that the Musou Saber holster doesn't stay in as well I'd like it too. Oddly enough, the Musou Saber clip stays on my Gaim's belt fairly well, unlike many others. IIRC, these are the only two who use this holster (at least outta the ones I want to pick up), so I don't think it'll be a big problem for this line down the future.


And then this happened, which I must say is quite fitting after last week's episode:





Takatora, no ;_;

Wow, that first pic is influencing me to get some Gaim guys. Very nice.
Second pic.......not so much.....
I'm sorry for you by the way.

Eh, it's quite alright. Honestly, I think I just tugged too hard when moving around his torse because his torso stays in place fine unless I try to pull it off.

My SHF G-3 fell off my desk a while back and the two side antennae broke off. I tried gluing them back but its such a small surface area they didn't bond well. I didn't bother trying to pin it since its so small so I just ended up ripping the whole head crest off and filling it in. I painted the head silver since trying to match the blue would be a pain. I guess he's no longer a Rider and now a Metal Hero?

Seems to be a bad streak with Figuarts Riders lately.

Looks like one of the Metal Sheriffs to me, give him a visor and he could pass for Metal Cop Jiban

That actually works, looks like a prototype version of the G3. G2, perhaps.
