Legendary Samurai! The Ronin Warriors Thread!

I remember owning the entire reissued series (which strangely completely omitted Rowan, Kento, Anubis, Sekhmet, and Dais), and of that over time I wound up only having Sage and Cye due to time not being kind to the joints, be it the springs themselves or the bands inside them.

Ugh, what I wouldn't do for a Figuarts equivalent of them. The Armor Plus figures are nice but pricey and without the armor parts are just too lanky for my tastes. I'd be willing to trade removable armor for accurate proportions.

(And you couldn't convince me NOT to double-dip anyway.)

I first discover the show on Toonami back in 1999. I would love to own the dub on DVD but it looks like there is a license issue behind it. I did rewatch the English dub of episode 1 at my local anime and manga club for Retro day and people where laughing at the bad voice acting.

To be fair it was first dubbed in 1995 and was an early gig for a lot of the cast. It's far from their best work. Compare to the OVAs which were dubbed a few years later after the show took off on Toonami.

In fact, the second episode the entire cast were acting with simultaneous headcolds, which explains why everyone suddenly sounded about ten years older.

And yes, there's a license issue behind the series dub, but strangely not the OVAs.

Alright, so. BBTS has the Ryo figure from Sentinel listed.

Not a bad price, all things considered. Definitely has my attention...

You thought it was over? You thought this thread was dead?

Legends never die. Troopers are forever.

Come on Sentinel, Bandai's spotted the gap in your armor. And it looks gooooooood.

Please excuse me while I go scream in joy.

Kikoutei Ryo page is up. Looks like they're aiming for an October release.

Is there an in-story reason for the handles on the back of their feet? That's something that's always bothered me about their design.

Aside from being a holdover from part of the gimmick of the toys, not that I can recall.
