Because I saw that the Realizing is a bit less expensive than the vanilla...

It's the same figure with different flavors. Just pick one you like. If you prefer having an accurate version of both Realizing and Rising, get the regular one. If you want a "special" one, well get the Realizing one. Tho, Realizing comes with a stand as a bonus.

Weren't Ginga and Prime's capes being cloth, like... bad? Without any wires they just sort of hung straight down, rather than having any dynamic shape to them that a soft plastic cape offers

A closer-er look at Saikou. Huh, I thought there'd be a clear plastic in front of the decaled eyes. Guess his eyes are just bare plastic and not have clear parts in them.

Pretty much. Prime Rogue is worse tho since the cape is connected straight to the shoulders which mess with the shoulders and look super awkward when you raise his arm to the side.

Nevertheless, hope to catch him in the aftermarket sometime. It's still a neat suit.

I had the same thought, but I guess that's what the suit looks like. Probably done on the real thing to keep dot pattern look

How exactly do they see out of those suits anyway? Do they just swing their swords at whatever looks like color when they fight?

The suits used for fight scenes have eyeholes, while the ones used for closeups don’t.

Oh good, they learned nothing from the disappointment that was Brave Lvl 50 and 100.

Yeah the Converge figure, which typically does clear pieces on the eyes as a selling point, is also just opaque plastic, so I think it's "suit accurate".

I ordered some in-stock items last year from them, stickers and a cape. Took about a month. Some earlier correspondence said air mail packages had a shipping lead time of about 2 weeks to a month. They told me I could use the lower shipping fee since it was mostly stickers and they sent it in a small mailer bag. Not sure what the shipping fee or time would be on larger items like replacement parts
