Just Climax form so far, although it looks like we'll be getting Sword form sometime this year.

All of the other Den-O Figuarts are either Imagin or movie Riders, and most of them are exclusives.

Here's to hoping I can get a Wing Form eventually

YES

Wing Form and Strike Form are two of the best designs to come out of Den-O.

Just got my Cyclone Joker in about 1/2 hour ago, this thing is gorgeous. It was a steal, I got the last one off Midtown Comics for $30 shipped. And as a plus, it's distributed by Bluefin, which is always a good thing for me ever since my Wild Tiger incident.

I don't have CJ yet, but my large Mandarake order came in the other day, with the Heat and Cyclone 2 packs which were $40 or $45 each, and somebody on HJU sold me HeatMetal and LunaTrigger for $20 each. And yeah, they're great! Glad to finally have some Double figures.

Going back to Den-O, I know the Kiva SH figures are pretty great, are the Den-O SHs any good, or should I wait for an SHF release of Sword Form?

thanks for the tip! i ran over there and ordered one myself, the only ones ive been able to find were rediculous expensive off ebay and amazon.

Agito should be arriving today, hes probably not the best figuarts, but i really love the show so far!

You should probably wait. The Den-O Sochakus tend to have terrible holding things hands which makes it really hard to pose them with weapons. And the articulated hands don't really work very well. I know the TRU exclusive 4-pack is up on mandrake still for 3000 yen if im not mistaken. You could take a chance seeing as the Den-O SH figures are almost like proto-figuarts. But id wait for Sword and some of the other forms to trickle out.

Alright, sounds like good advice, I can wait for SHF releases. It's not like there aren't still tons of SHFs I want to buy in the meantime.

SH Figuarts Fourze Fire States is up for pre-order at HLJ if anyone is interested...

If you get the Five Form Change set Mandarake has, it has proper weapon-holding hands. The downside is that the armor is all plated metallic or chrome, so it's not show accurate. But the Den-O figures are basically 95% of the way to Figuarts already. I don't have a Kiva to know if that pushed even closer, but I can tell you that in articulation these absolutely fit in with Figuarts.

It's taken me a little more than two months, but as soon as a final two orders arrive, I'll have the entire line up of Souchaku Den-O. And I don't even want to begin to think how much I've spent on it in total.
