It won't be hard to get another collector to pry them off your hands.

Zangetsu and the Legends Arms Change set is halfway across the ocean now. If they reach here before Christmas they'll be my first opened Arms Change toys!

Well I had an order as SAL and the other as EMS...guess I'll sell the EMS one :P.

Hopefully going to order Ryugen this weekend. Just waiting on payment from people >_<

Legend Rider Arms set on Mandarake, 2000 yen! Go!

Canceled the second preorder since I didn't have to pay for him yet

I think I got one of those Legend Rider arms sets, despite not having Ryugen or Zangetsu. I still have Baron and Gaim.

Just got my Mango Kiwi set through and it is dreadful, easily the low point of the whole line so far. Both their transformations are unnecessarily complex like they are trying way too hard and although Kiwi's final transformation is clean in a way you can only appreciate on a toy, the weapons are so huge they are extremely awkward to pose with as they slip out of the hands.

But Mango? Mango is pure garbage, the final product is hideous and undermines everything I loved about the in show suit, the transformation isn't even fun. So disappointed with this set, especially considering how cool Mango was in show.

Got to say I agree with your assessment there. Serious fail. Mango's engineering just wasnt satisfying in hand. I know, budget toy, but it was weak.

Luckily i'll have the legend rider set next week and i can leave Kiwi and Mango on the shelf.

His cape just looks like you've half finished the transformation and then just given up. And that is actually the finished product.

Yeah, an extra hinge wouldve made quite a difference, make the bottom half less curved, but i guess the budget on these is tight and they just couldnt justify it to please the demographic we represent

I think Mango arms is simply over-ambitious. They wanted a specific looked, but needed to come out of and egg.

I'll wait for the Figuarts. That way I don't have two Barons with the same armour.
