S.H. Figuarts (Toku Related) Thread

So I recently got a $30 Amazon gift card and am considering using it towards buying a Figuarts, but I'm not sure which one to go for. I'm considering:
Ixa
Fourze Base States
Faiz
Kaixa
KickHopper

I'm currently leaning towards Ixa, any suggestions if I should go with one of the others?

While I don't have Ixa it certainly is an awesome looking figure. It'd be an even better choice if it's the original version that came with the tamashii stage. Otherwise Base States Fourze is pretty damn awesome himself.

Fourze base states isn't a bad figure, certainly better then OOOs was, and the limb swap gimmick is rather fun. But IXA, being an older Figuart will have the better over all quality I think. You can't go wrong with Fourze, but you'll have plenty of chances to get Fourze in the future, so if you can only get one, get IXA.

Does anyone have Gosei Knight yet? Just looking to see if there's any problems. His Leon Cellular accessory I see being one, that small hinge and all. But anything else?

Of those, I would say Ixa as well. Though Rising Ixa is better than regular, Ixa himself is still awesome.

Actually I got my Gosei Knight in Saturday.

I got a really low quality one. Right out of the package the right shoulder was attached upside down. Easy enough to fix. However there is no fixing the god awful paint apps on the legs and arms. The paint lines are rough, nothing is crisp, tons of bleedover, scuffs and scratches on the black all up and down the legs. And that all applies to the front and back of the legs. Not to mention the huge scuff across the lions face on the chest. Oh and the loose as shit ankle guards that scraped the paint off the ankles during shipping. Its a pretty substandard release and I hope im just unlucky. I know Sentai Tamashii got one that was pretty poor quality as well but im hoping it isn't a widespread issue.

Well, another $80 sent across the intertubes, Green is on the way, and in a few days my Shinkenger team will be complete.
Oh wait, there's the Super Shinkengers.
And Juuzo.
Dammit.

ZeoRangerV · 05-14-2012, 11:16 AM

And Hyper Shinken Red.
And possibly Gedou Shinken Red too.

I'm not yet far enough along in the show to even know what you're talking about.
but you can bet things will go on my want list once I see them. Just Juuzo's tease at the end of ep 7 was enough to put him on my list (but I had seen pics of him before on thought he was cool looking).
