As long as they are sold by Amazon then yes. Sellers through Amazon are a different story and could go either way.

Got 3 Figuarts yesterday at NYCC, just opened BoukenRed this morning and holy crap does he come with a lot. I mean he comes with 2 of the SurviBlade in gun mode so you can pose him with one that doesn't have a peg in it! The only problem I have is that his lower neck joint seems a bit stiff, but I think that may just be how it's molded given someone else I know has the same option.

Knight Survive - 1/30
Super 1 - 1/30
Cyclone/Joker - 1/30

So since you're pretty familiar with it...

Would you say I should go down to my comic store, see if they can order these for me, and get Knight Survive through them? Or since you also use Mandarake way more than me - do you think, if I wait for Ryuki Survive to come out too, I could get the two cheaper on Mandarake by waiting a little bit?

Why? Knight Survive is through Amazon, that's how I preordered mine. And he's listed for December release by Bluefin's facebook page.

Picked up a bunch of Figuarts at Bluefin's booth yesterday. For some reason all of the bicep swivels on the Ryuuki riders are ungodly tight. Raia's so much I thought he didn't have any swivels at all. Other than that small issue (and the fact that Tiger's claws are really tricky to get on), I love them all. OOO TaToBa brings me one step closer to having all the currently released main Heisei Riders sans W, who I'll get once reissued. Stronger brings me up-to-date with all the Showa Riders, Tiger, Zolda and Raia brings me up-to-date with the Ryuuki releases sans Gai and Lunatic brings me up-to-date with the Tiger & Bunny releases.

That may just be his shop then. Either way it probably won't be out until near the end of December, so it'll be a slightly-belated Christmas present at best.

I would say that getting them on Mandarake will be quite a bit cheaper. The only reason I go through my shop is because I can get them at cost. You'll be waiting significantly longer to get them through a comic shop than you would if you waited for online retailers. I love Bluefin and what they do in the US and when it comes to MMPR figures I will definitely go through them but on some things the extra 1-2 month wait for figures can be hard.

That's just the release date for all comic shops using Bluefin as a distributor.
