Thing is, figuarts just don't seem that hot to me. They're not all particularily accurate often having certain aspects out of scale, all I ever hear is joint issues or quality control issues, and their posability is just okay, and they're way too expensive for what you get with one. Cyclone Joker left me completely and utterly cold.

I think you're being too harsh. The Double Figuarts are not indicitive of what the entire line is like. Trust me, when I got Takuto, I wasn't sure about other Figuarts, then I bought Fourze. They have vastly improved since the Double Figuarts.

Bluefin on their twitter is saying they're getting a Sentai/Ranger two pack for North America that's a web exclusive in Japan. Wonder who they're talking about?

Also they said this: "Besides this ranger 2 pack, you're probably going to be ordering a ranger related figuart almost every month"

Posability is just okay? Compared to what? Relative to most of the other readily available figures, they seem really articulated. If you know figures that are MORE articulated for $30-$40 retail, I'm all ears. I'm a posability junkie too. I have not had too many QC issues yet. And I've branched into the D-Arts and MonsterArts lines also.

Uh... posseability sometimes is going to be hindered by the design of a figure. It happens with every toy. However, Figuarts makes sure skirt pieces and shoulder covers are still flexible enough to try to keep the figure's articulation from being hindered. And if you think there are massive quality control issues with the line, you must not be up to date on Mattel and their MOTUC/DC lines.

I'm just tickled pink about the Operation Overdrive two pack. Once I get that it will be compulsory for me to buy the rest of the team, whenever they are released, as well as the SRC Daibouken, whenever he is released. It'll be a Boukenger party at my house and everyone's invited.

I cant believe they actually worked out a deal for Boukenger in the US. I'm ridiculously happy right now

I may have to add Boukenger to my collection....dammit Bluefin lol

Is there a way to buy a Bouken Red without having to pay extra for the Giant Shovel?
