Recent Purchases April 2021 Edition
Starting the Kamen Rider 50th anniversary out strong, a Mandarake package that wasn't supposed to arrive till Tuesday showed up today. Very Kuuga heavy, as well as the final item for my Build Legend Rider gimmick item collection, at least until whatever the 2021 series has to offer.

I doubt I will be getting much this month unless Bandai ships more to Hobbytown or the nearby stores will restock the shelves.

That's a pretty neat Tiger Mask to buy, that's what everyone should be most jealous of :p
Meanwhile, a couple of things that arrived vaguely rcently that I forgot to post: https://scontent-lhr8-2.xx.fbcdn.net...a2&oe=609140AB - LC SPD Pink - SHF AkibaYellow (S2 version) - Target Novelisation of Doctor Who's TV Movie - SHODO Traitor and SHODO Mukkorosu |

And that AkibaYellow figure looks amazing ~ plus I think these Target re-issues of 'newer' Doctor Who books look really charming. Quote:

This arrived on April 1st. Now I’ve got the CSM Kiva, Tatsulot and Ixa.

Someone help me find a good assault rifle accessory for when my Sevenger figure arrives later this month!
https://i.imgur.com/KefCaD6.jpg I think the figure is 6 inches. |

The Little Armory M4A1 looks kinda close. Try that kit. Alternatively, the HGUC Gundam Tristan has a nice looking rifle as an extra from the original Gundam Alex runner it came from, as well and should probably fit better as it's meant to be held by a mecha after all. It's cheaper, too, since you can probably find the kit for $15-20 or maybe even less considering the reputation of the Gundam kit. Tho, in my experience, having built the kit myself, it's an okay kit, just outdated in gunpla standards.

Few bits and pieces today! UAF Orb Origin; Delta Rise Claw and Nexus Junis Blue medals; and the 01 and Fourze acrylic logos. A little Ultra leaning for Rider's 50th but hey!

Well I was excited to post my latest Zenmarket haul here but it looks like I ran into a problem.
So I ordered a Revoltech figure from Amazon.co.jp using Zenmarket as a proxy (along with some other stuff I picked up from yahoo auctions and other Japanese shops). I had the weight and dimensions all planned out so when they gave me the shipping quote I should've known something was wrong. I paid the higher-than-expected shipping anyway and considered it my own mistake. I received the package today and found out that the Revoltech figure is actually a statue. That's why the dimensions and weight were so off. So instead of the relatively small $60 Revoltech figure I ordered, the Amazon seller sent a $15 statue which is packed into a huge box. Once a package leaves the Zenmarket warehouse, they are pretty much hands off with anything they can do. I sent them a support message but I doubt this will be resolved in a satisfactory way. So yeah, bummer. The rest of my order was fine, but this figure was the most expensive thing and the cause for the high shipping cost :( |

Yeah to be fair, the figure and the statue look identical, as if the statue is a posed and glued in place figure.

My haul from Zenmarket don't have pics.

Hey, while I'm in this thread... https://challengerscomics.com/images...o/IMG_3923.JPG Transformers Selects Deep Cover - I love this Siege Sideswipe mold so much. Pretty much committed to getting every variation I can (I've even got a friend keeping his eyes open for the Walmart Deep Cover), and this one's a nice addition. Pretty similar to the G2 Sideswipe Amazon released, but now blue accents instead of red accents. As always, an absolute delight to transform. If you only rarely sample transforming robot toys, you owe it to yourself to own at least one version of this mold. S.H.Figuarts Masked Rider Gills - Surprisingly fun older figure! A bunch of display options for how you want your Gills to be posed (different heads, different crests for each head, his tentacle whips, a dozen hands, etc), but you are nuts if you think I'm going to have him posed any other way than unleashing a primal scream at an indifferent universe. Gills isn't Gills unless he's refusing to give up as the cosmos tries to grind him into paste, as seen in this photo. S.H.Figuarts G3 - Sort of janky (those limbs don't feel real tight; a little too skinny for my memories of the fifth or sixth best non-double-surgery-performing character on Agito), but I love his shininess. Gills is all sinewy and gross, so I like that G3 is fresh off the showroom floor. Didn't pay that much for him (maybe $20?), so he's okay for a representation of that suit, nothing more. Transformers Studio Series Kup - Electric Turahk and I talked about this figure in March for a minute. The initial transformation feels wrong on an almost spiritual level, but it actually renders the correct vehicle mode. Once you can accept that, it's a fun toy to mess around with. I find him a tad bit unstable, where he seems to pitch backwards more than you'd expect (he needs heels or larger feet), but you can account for that when you're posing him. Pretty fun toy! S.H.Figuarts Masked STRONGEST RIDER - Leangle! Really handsome figure, in hand. He's definitely too lanky, sharing proportions with Chalice that feel dead on for Hajime but dead wrong for Mutsuki, but I think the paintwork is eye-catching enough to not end up dwelling on his lack of screen accuracy when it comes to shape. A pretty good toy for the used aftermarket price. Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh (Human Form) - I ended up picking up a new Ankh Hand as well, since my original one got broke and needed to be glued together. (Fell off its stand and broke the wing off.) I do not love this figure! The torso cut makes him look like he has a beer belly in every pose. Ankh has a gut, and that's just 1000% wrong. The smirking facial expression is great, and he comes with a whole bunch of stuff I'll probably never pose him with but I'm glad was included... but that gut just ruins it. This is probably the first Figuarts or Seihou figure I've bought that I regret getting. (I don't love the Meteor figure, but I also only paid $12 for him. This was a larger purchase!) S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Birth - He's fine? I don't know that any of Noted Chicago Bears Supporter Akira Date's personality really comes through in this figure or its accessories. Tried to come up with a really Birth pose and eventually just gave up. He's okay for being cheaply-obtained and not my favorite suit from any show. S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Grease - Outstanding figure. Grease's suit was not my thing from that show, even though Kazumin is, like, tied for third with the rest of the non-Sento-and-Banjou Build cast. (I love that show!) The Sclash Driver suits aren't something I really pinged off of, but Grease's is by far the best of the bunch. Mostly just got this figure to Have A Grease, and it's now one of my favorite figures? The specific shiny gold they used is muted enough to sell the foil-y look of the suit on the show, making this thing look like it jumped off of the goddamn screen. Every pose feels like it's dripping with that Kazumin combo of dismissiveness and rage. The deco is premium as all get out, bringing to life details I'd forgotten existed. This is in my Top 3 figures now, alongside Lazer Lvl 0 and Poppy. (I guess I'm a sucker for well-applied metallic paint schemes?) Last-minute purchase at AmiAmi, and it's my favorite figure in a while. |

Man, those old SHFs really have not aged well. Good thing they tend to be pretty cheap nowadays. I've thought about picking some up just to have representations of characters who either don't have Shinkocchou Seihou versions yet or whose Shinkocchou Seihou versions I missed out on and go for way too much on the aftermarket. Also, sorry to hear about Ankh. I've yet to buy any human form SHFs because it seems like it'd be so much easier for them to look weirdly wrong than a character in a suit

My Haul
DX Geartlinger plus Buckle set X2
" Wonder world story of... Onjuken Suzune X1 Angokuken Kurayami ( Metallic ) X1 DX Kaeken Rekka X1 Hayate Fuusoken ( Metallic ) X2 TV-Kun May Issue X1 |
Made two Amiami orders a day apart and ended up with two packages two days in a row lol
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EyUxj7TX...jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EyYoBjtX...jpg&name=large - S.H. Figuarts Doras - Figuarts Drive Midnight Shadow Tire Change parts - Figma Madoka Kaname - Figma Homura Akemi All got second-hand. Doras I got after seeing the ZO film for the first time and really liking the character and his role. He's basically Dragonball's Cell mixed with a T-1000 it's really cool. The figure has fantastic articulation from the waist up and from the knees down, but unfortunately the suit design gets in the way around the hips so he can't really move his legs well. That said Doras is a very brick wall-type character who doesn't get very acrobatic so I'm not too bummed. Glad to add more villains to the collection. The Midnight Shadow set caps the three base sets I have for Drive. Only missing the effect parts for both this and Funky Spike now. Figma Madoka and Homura I've been waiting on for a while now. Every time they pop up on Amiami they sell immediately so I played the waiting game until I could snatch both in good condition. I assume they're selling quick nowadays given the ten year anniversary, but I'm just glad to finally have all five main characters now. |
Ooh, nice! I have Homura and she's great. Reminds me of good old times of Figma. I need to pick up a Madoka soon, too.
|
What are the current opinions of Figma figures these days?
I've been looking at a few but haven't handled any since like 2009. Is the quality still good? |
Quote:
Stuff like their SSSS.Gridman and My Hero Academia releases are good examples. They look good and pose extremely well. |

Really, the only question is if you're willing to stomach the price. Tho, some figma figures do lower in the aftermarket, so if you're in the secondary markets, it won't be too bad. It's only really a tough decision to buy a Figma when you're pre-ordering it. And if the figure is from Fate, heh. Secondary markets on those are atrocious but Fate figures tend to be the best releases, too. |
I picked up a few of these curious gashapon toys called Capsule Stand Mk-1
https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/ima...tand_01_01.jpg It's basically a tiny stand made of configurable pieces. Gashapon toys are some of my favorite so I put 3 in my zenmarket order. You actually get two sets per ball. I now have 6 of these things. They are pretty awesome and work perfectly to display tiny gashapon toys. https://i.imgur.com/0S6ufgb.jpg |
Got a bunch of stuff from Amiami today!
There is: Figma Deku Shodo-X 11 Shodo-O 5 Entry Grade RX-78-2 (gift for my brother) Might post pics later. |
