Today my S.H. Figuarts Gouraiger Set arrived! I think I'm the first on the board to receive them so Review time!

S,H. Figuarts Gouraiger Set



Accessories (Kabutoraiger):
5x Pairs Hands
1x Ikazuchimaru
1x Ikazuchimaru (Spear Mode)
1x Ikazuchimaru (Cross Mode)
1x Horn Breaker


Accessories (Kuwagaraiger):
5x Pairs of Hands (+1x Right Stag Breaker Holding Hand)
1x Ikazuchimaru
1x Ikazuchimaru (Spear Mode)
1x Ikazuchimaru (Cross Mode)
1x Ikazuchimaru (Combined with Stag Breaker)
1x Stag Breaker (Open)
1x Stag Breaker (Folded)



The Accessory count for these guys is pretty high. I'm especially impressed with the fact that Kuwagaraiger got an extra staff that's combined with the Stag Breaker, although it makes it even more plain that they really dropped the ball with Ryuranger's Dairen Rods. Because of the high accessory count, the amount of possible poses is greatly varied, which is great. However, there is a noticeable omissions. The Ikazuchimaru has three modes, however the Moon mode, in which it folds into a big circle and can fire lightning is missing, which is a little sad. Considering Kuwagaraiger got an extra big accessory, it'd have been nice if Kabutoraiger came with the Ikazuchimaru (Moon mode). Also, there's sadly no Akibaranger Jakanja vests. This is confusing because they are exactly the same as the Shurikenger vest HurricaneRed comes with, but with a different symbol. I assumed the vests were designed the same for the purpose of being easy to include with both things. I'm hoping that we'll one day get a Figuarts Tentoraiger from Akibaranger with them!



The Horn Breaker and the folded Stag Breaker can combine into the Double Connection Double Gadget (silly name) and they can go into they're iconic finisher pose. It's a bit of a struggle getting them into the right position, but I think its pretty great that it is possible.

All in all, this is a really great two pack. The two figures are beautifully detailed and painted and have the good pose ability expected with Sentai Figuarts. The accessory count is pretty high, especially comparatively to the recent Zyuranger Tamashii Web Exclusives and I'm very happy with the purchase. Definitely worth the money and looking forward to Hurricane Yellow and Hurricane Blue at the end of the month!

I've been wondering this myself. I would think sometime soon.

I was expecting today when all the stores reopened, but nope. I guess it must be this week sometime.

Great review, it looks like an awesome set. I'm glad I've got it on the way, and I'm tempted to watch the Sentai as well. Is it any good?

[Guyver Spawn]

Is the S.H Figuarts of G3 worth picking up since I notice it's getting a re-release?

[Sentai Tamashii]

I'm almost certain that this is a member from here?

Saw D-Arts Omegamon re-release will be going up and am tempted to go for it but none of the Figuarts really interest me.

On a side note, found out that HLJ still has Kamen Rider Garren and Rhombus for pre-order and decided to order one on a whim. Let's see whether or not I'll get it or not. It'll be my first Figuart with a vehicle and since I don't have any attachment to him, I'm not too worried if the pre-order does not get fulfilled.
