I got Kamen Rider W Heat Metal in the mail today and I'm very happy with it. I dig the W figuarts and I need two more to finish up my main W forms.

Since my Ryuuranger and White Ranger SHF figures are also suffering the same thing too with each shoulder joint. ;-;

I've then asked someone else to find a same sort of fluids similliar to shock oil, but so far, I have to wait. T-T

Basically just take the bar of soap, and any way you can, just get some of it into the joint and move it around. With hips it works really well, because on the only kind on Figuarts that CAN break, the pull down ones (which is why I hate those), you can pop the leg off and just take a good sized chunk and stick it in the socket and move it around. Doesn't do anything to the plastic either.

As for a shoulder, what I would do is take a piece of the dry bar soap and just kind of push it into the joint if you can, like just mash it in there. I know it sounds really bizarre and gross and whatnot, but it's dry, and it's bar soap, so all it's going to do is act like lubricant. Move it around easy, don't wrench on it, because there may not be enough coverage.

Good luck guys.

I used tiny amounts of silicone spray. I thought it might be a bit corrosive, because it has dissolved stuff before, but I guess that only happens with large amounts. Or on cheap plastic.

Had time to mess with MMPR White Ranger and his lack of accessories, although very disappointing, makes it a little more easier to have a photoshoot. Haha. He is a really nice figure, I think he might be one of my favourite looking Figuarts right now. The combination of the gold and pearly white is beautiful in my eyes.

Agito Burning Form and Blade King Form arrived over the past couple days.



Burning Form is a really pretty figure; the dark metallic red is quite striking. Unfortunately, unless I'm an idiot, the shoulder pieces aren't on a hinge joint of some sort to allow for greater posability, so the arms can only raise up to a certain degree. The left shoulder joint is also a little tighter than the right on mine. The chest armor also hinders posability of the torso a bit. It's a nice figure, but for me, a notch below some of the recent others like Abyss and Blade.

King Form, like Blade, is quite dynamic, despite the lack of accessories (in comparison to Blade). The shoulders are on separate pieces attached to the top of the shoulder/upper arm; the connection looks a bit thin, so they're not pieces I want to mess around with too much. I didn't realize King Form came with stickers too; they're tiny, but thankfully not nearly as many as Blade (they also don't feel like they have a great amount of stickiness off of the sheet, like Blade's stickers).

Oh god noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Of course, they are all going to have stickers. The worst is going to be Garren though, as his stickers are bound to be smaller than Blade's.

I wonder if Decade and Diend will get renewal or not? I want a Decade figuart with all of his cards for once.

Does anyone know if there's a story behind how Bandai got do to Iron Man Figuarts?

There's tons of Iron Man merchandise to profit from, but Marvel let Bandai get a cut.

Was it because Marvel knew Bandais Figuarts line was sold primarily overseas? I don't think Bluefin imported IM and WM

I thought that Marvel would be more protective of its domestic product lines (the mainline movie stuff u get at Target and TRU)

We'll never get Star Wars figuarts due to the Black Line getting Hasbro and Lucas' support

On the other hand, there are PlayArts DC figures and Bishouji comic characters

Mainly I'm hoping licensing doesn't prevent us from getting Figuarts Cap, Thor, etc

snippy snippy images

Okay, it's not just mine... wtf is up with the second card? It's the same as the first one, (well, first from the left) and it's cut really weird, like the corner of the card is missing? When you fan cards out, you should always see their edges... you see this card's like middle third.

Seems odd to me, I think they miscut the sticker.

Do you know how AWESOME that would be?
