So the Deka girls are pretty cool. I don't know what they did, but the SPD badges actually sit in their holsters tightly so they do not slide out every time you tilt the figure like they do on Red and Blue. Sadly though, they still haven't found a way to make the gun sit in its holster without falling off every time you move the leg.

Verde is kinda cool, but the highlight for me is the effects set which just down right rocks.

The holster issue was fixed up pretty nicely with Green too, glad to hear its carried over to the girls.

But not with blue ;-;

Oh God, mine really will come with most of the accessories missing and the ones it does come with will just fall off D:

It's not awful with Blue, it just has a habit of slipping out when you're handling the figure

It would seem most figuarts aren't made to be touched anyway...

I don't have the license in the holster anyway. I don't want it to fall out and not notice it and lose it. It's not like you can see it unless you look at them from the back anyway.

Not on my blue. It is worse than Red's holder on mine.

Look at this:



His badge stays in while I have him like that, but I cannot display Blue in the same manner because his badge won't even stay still.

Anyway, I was trying to figure out what the white gun was and then I realized those are the guns they carry when they aren't transformed. Did they ever use them when they were transformed? I don't remember such, but I haven't watched Deka since it first aired.

BTW, how do the Deka girls hold their badges? They don't seem to have hands for them.

um Hi guys this isnt really a figuarts question more a question concerning the site I buy from. I have been buying various Japanese toys from AmiAmi for about a year now and I ALWAYS use the cheapest shipping option but I am getting a bit tired of waiting two weeks per package =/ is the air mail option (for about twice as much as unregistered sal) worth it? How long does it take? is EMS any good?

any help is greatly appreciated

I don't know about that air mail thing, but EMS is very quick. If there are any delays, it's usually from your local post office and/or US Customs. But even then it will fall into the 3-5 day range. I used to do EMS all the time because I was impatient. In retrospect, since my money was somewhat limited, that wasn't very smart. I've taken to using SAL now unless it's a huge order and the difference between SAL and EMS is negligible. While SAL does take time, I get to buy more figures with the same amount of money.

EMS is super fast, but it can be a bit pricey. Around $20-30 CAD usually from Japan for me.

I also have a not-quite Figuarts but related question involving Ryuki and the hard to find Figuarts. I'm liking the Ryuki show and even have Ryuki on the way. There's some really cool designs I want like Knight and Gai, but they're freaking impossible to find or crazy money. (Gai is over $100!)The Figmas, on the other hand, look not bad and are super good prices. Are they good stand-ins, at least until I can find the Figuarts? (I'd still get Knight if I could find him since the Figuart has his contract monster)

Also I don't know who Odin is but I saw his pre-order and I want him.
