SH Figuarts Wizard Flame, Water Styles Revealed

Blade Raider · 10-22-2012, 09:47 AM

Sure, Fourze gets all of his crappy forms at retail, but the one Rider I actually want to collect forms of is only going to have one non-web exclusive...well f**k you too Bandai.

...and I'll probably still get Flame just because. Just don't want another red figure on my shelf.

GORGEOUS! They did the coat tails very well, glad they didn't take the route they did with Sky High. So, this is the first time I'll be preordering any rider figuarts, can anybody recommend any good stores that ship to the United States? I was just thinking of sticking to BBTS since I've had good experiences with them in the past (you know, before they hike the price on this thing up).

AmiAmi, HLJ, Hobbysearch are all good places to order from

I've never ordered any kind of stuff like this before, but I really want the Water form.

In the first picture we saw of of Flame Style, it looked translucent, so I'm assuming it's just these pictures. Also, the heads on both look way too big. On the subject of Water Style being exculsive, not surprising, with Wizard having significantly more forms than the last couple Riders.

I kept thinking there was something slightly cartoonish about them, and I think you've just pointed out why.

Well, given how some OOO and Fourze forms warmed the shelves, I'm not too surprised at Water Style being exclusive. Then we have the Dragon forms and Beast is coming, so that'd be 12 Figuarts on the shelves, 4 looking similar to another 4.

Yeah you had to figure on some being exclusive... but I wasn't expecting any of the main four! At least it will likely be plentiful on mandarake. I wonder if the red Dragon Form will be standard, at least.

Water Style is one TWE I will definitely shell out for... eventually.

Seems fine to me. The head and outer chest jewels look translucent, and anything else being translucent would make the pieces too fragile and show inaccurate. What's your problem exactly?

Oh come on. They are making Water style an exclusive? So much for being able to do my lantern battery bits.
