Hey everyone: AC05 Zangetsu on Mandarake for only 3000 yen.

[Nrin Vakil]

The blood orange sound version is a lot of fun and totally worth getting for its cheap price.

[Thessair]

Jungle has two DJ Guns up for ¥2,916 each. I was very, very tempted, but I still have pre-orders to cover for the month.

So I decided to check out Arms change with Shin Zangetsu and now I also own the first armor pack, Baron and Gaim with the mango and kiwi armors on their way. Dear god the arms change figures are a blast to play with. They feel like a solid representation of the show characters and have more articulation than what I was expecting from a non figuarts line.

I haven't had such a fun toy in ages. Just the Arms themselves are a blast to play around with. Case in point:



They remind me of the old Ronin Warriors figures in a manner, except the articulation doesn't completely suck. I'm really hoping my AC Duke preorder goes through, and then grab Baron and the Arms packs.

Haha good example I'll have to try that out with my figuarts. I'm just sad I missed out on the Bravo preorder and its looking like I'll miss out on Siguard and Marikia too. Hope they won't be impossible to get when they come out.

Just a heads up to UKers that Amazon have pretty much all of the Arms Change figures on there in the marketplace, with a whole pile of other Gaim merch, and although not "cheap" with some of the insane scalping going on on Mandrake lately, the prices seem pretty reasonable.

[Thessair]

Most of the Arms Change figures listed recently on Mandarake have been pretty close to retail. I think the infusion of re-releases have driven the prices down. Baron, Gaim, Ryugen, Shin Zangetsu, and Kachidoki have all been running about ¥3,000. Granted an old Melon Arms is still sitting at a horribly inflated ¥8,000. But, in general, the line has gotten more affordable of late most places.

Oh my B then. I was pretty heavily into the AC game at the start, but when ACs started going for 8000 yen on Mandrake I bowed out. It stops becoming fun when shit like that starts. Didn't realise that bubble had popped so soon.
