[OPTICS]

Added some Riders to my sales thread if anyone is interested. Decided to just have the ones I like, well, seen.

I should really be saving my money for Akiba Red and Meteor later this month, but I just won a Garo on ebay for £17 shipped. At that price (I think its the best bargain I've got since I started buying toku) I feel completely justified

It was Omegamon/Omnimon.
If I recall correctly, Shinken Red was already in production at the time of the poll.

On the very day that I started to fear Ankh might be lost in customs limbo, he not only arrives in my area (such magic "tracking" is...) but is delivered as well.

I don't get why he couldn't have been assembled in package. The fronts of his shoulders just wouldn't go on easily. Fortunately they're ridiculously soft, so it was easy with a good bit of force. The back pair were easy.

Then there's the tiny wings... His white collar keeps pushing the one out of its pin so it can only stay in at an awkward angle. Even if I push the collar up there still isn't much room for them. And of course talk about limiting neck articulation.

Haven't gotten to try the big wings, but I sure hope they stay in better since he'll probably be keeping those on.

But gosh darnit if he simply isn't beautiful.

Still waiting on my comic shop to get my Zolda in, but Ixa's coming in the mail tomorrow

[Dr Kain]

How is your comic shop getting in a Figuart?

[Barricade64]

They have an account with Bandai. So far they've only been getting the DBZ ones and MonsterArts but I asked if they could order something for me and they said sure, so I gave them the name & number of Zolda on Bluefin's website and they ordered it.
