Anyway, what's the chances of getting a Samurai Green/ShinkenGreen with DragonRanger's shield Figuart?

Now your post and his have been edited. Again, keep it on topic. No off topic discussion, jabs, snide remarks, or otherwise from either side.

So......

Any chance of a in scale rad bug for my Ranger figuarts like the car from Akibaranger?

That would be fantastic!

( obvious joke , if it wasn't obvious )

Just recieved my second Figuarts ever, Sieg!

Looking past my bias of Sieg as a fucking great design and great guy, I'd say this deffinitely an improvement over W... but not by a country mile. (more like a hamster mile)

Right out of the box both kneecaps fell off. No biggie, glue fixed it. Set him aside in his arm-behind-back-while-sipping-coffee pose while I built my amazing OOO model. Came back to him and tried to get him to sit. He cannot. At least not naturally or without his left leg popping off. The sculpt limits the basic ability to sit. He's also looser than I thought... but halfway in a good way. There's no stupid tight joints like W, so everything moves nicely and freely (again, if the sculpt doesn't get in the way) but his shoulder pads go nuts. I like that his little heel wings move, I like that all his feathers move, but his sub-shoulder pads sometimes make them go crazy (read: every time his arms aren't at his sides) but I love how, despite being an all-white dude, he's got subtle blue and warm whites mixed together to keep him visually interesting. His hands also swap super easy, but he only has three extras? God damn, I know Sieg wasn't a very possession-y guy (odd considering a Prince would like to own shit, right?) and I'm not expecting his big bed, but just the coffee cup and plate in addition to three measly extra hands? Not even the baby he possessed? Not even the big, fruity coffee cup that looked like it came from an antique store's discount shelf he used from the show? Not even a pointing hand to keep the help humble? (you know, that gesture he's doing on the fucking box) Hmmm...

Suffice to say, I'm still not a big Figuarts fan... which is why my next Figuarts purchase will be Ryuki. Since he is the one I never hear a single bad thing about, and the one everyone says is so fun, he will be the toy to, at the very least, legitimize the hype around Figuarts for me. Hopefully. Don't get me wrong, I love Sieg, but I need a Figuart where I can do what I've seen reviewers do and pick it up and not find giant flaws.

The problem is that what you have is another older figure that doesnt have the vast improements the line has incoporated in the last couple years. If you want a good example of the line try any of the Ryuki riders, seriously all of them. Even the characters I hate turndd out incredible in toy form.

Did Figuarts ever get over the "hey let's show the character doing iconic stuff on the box the toy can't do?"

Also funny how every Figuart I get happens to be an old one without the improvements. But yeah, Ryuki's next for sure, no question.

Well, all the Imagin are kind of old, Den-O's Riders are actually rather new, though.

And, outside of a couple examples (Like Red Buster unable to perform his signature pose), most recent Figuarts should be able to pull off their show's signature posing (Including the stuff on the box )

All the Imagin are ancient in terms of this line. I should know i have them The only one that's a current release is Negataros. And even then he's an improvement on the original Momtaros mold. I have a ton of the older releases my self but they don't hold a candle to the newer stuff.

[Kiryu]

I don't think my question was answered when I posted Negataro's gallery up(Shameless plug I know)

Does NEgataros use a new body? I can't really tell since the gallery I found didn't post any side by sides.

[SPLIT LIP]

So any character I'm likely to want is shit because they're old? Awesome.

Also Sieg's double-jointed elbows don't work. There's only enough clearence to use the lowest joint.
