More of that set. Sorry, I'm eating and I'm lazy. Otherwise, I'd actually post them :(

Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

Oh band manager Deneb. <3 Keeping things lively while everyone is on the road! It's a good way to spend your summers off from your Principal duties.

I haven't encountered Deneb yet. :(

Yeah, Mandi found all these :)

Fixed it since I'm no longer eating or lazy. You're almost to Denebu, Doc!

There was actually a hopper picture set on the same site I found those on but I don't think I showed them to you, let me find it!

And for Doc:

TJ is reviewing the Electro-Wave Human Tackle S.I.C.!

Seems Bandai aren't the only ones listening to us ;)

Those are so good. :D

:doc:

The little cup of "coffee" is even there. Love it.

CS Toys has Momo and the DX set with the denliner table in stock.

I almost bought Momo :(

Kamen Rider Randomness (http://www.figure.fm/post/en/1225/Kamen+Rider+Randomness.html)

It was actually a Kabuto set. Probably why I didn't save them when I saw them, I was remembering it as greater than it was! Still neat though. Sorry it took so long, that site can be a pain in the butt to find things on.

If I buy Momo I have to get all the liner imagin. Just the way it is. ; ; I can own Deneb on his own, unless of course Yuuuuuuto gets a figuarts. Bet they'd re-release Deneb for that!

Not sure what Kagaaaaami said at the end. I'm sure I'll figure it out someday ;)

I can do MOMO alone. Probably the only one I could do alone.

I can do a sort-of translation! Yosh is supposed to be Yoshi, I think, it's just the i gets dropped when people say it, like with Moshi-moshi. It's basically like saying "yes!!!" or "alright!!!", I think. Untan is something they say on K-On in regards to castanets, it might be an actual word but I've only heard it there so that's what I associate it with. Untan Untan!

So yeah, basically I think he's just psyched about the castanets after Tendou's speech!

Oh so what Deneb says when Yuuto agrees to let him go shopping and he says he'll make a feast :D

Kagami seems easily swayed from that. I would like to see Terui try to pull that on Shou ;)

also DC Universe Classics fans, I need opinions! Should I get Jack Knight for my JSA collection or not? Already after Martian Manhunter for my Justice League collection.

Yessss

Although, if you have some sort of reservation, eh, it's just a pile o plastic, like anything.

No no, I actually think he is an amazing figure and I'm really excited to see him in person! I just am wondering it's lame to get him since he wasn't in the JSA that long! But not like it matters too much since they are just for fun.

It sounds like you've already decided. Trust your heart<3

http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/ConstantMnemonic/W_Accel_Nasca/

Nasca is doing Kirihiko's wave ^^

It's awesome to see the boys of W together. How are you enjoying playing with them? I'd love to hear about how they all pose and how they all feel versus C/J, stuff like that. I've heard Accel is an especially good figuart.

I edited all these pictures, and they showed up as changed. WTF photobucket, WTF :mad::mad::mad:

Accel really is amazing. He isn't hindered in any significant way, save his head. Little hard to move up and down if it isn't oriented head-on. Engine blade opens, which is such icing. So, he's on par with C/J. Less head articulation, but cool weapon. It evens out.

Nasca looks fantastic, but those shoulder pads are a nightmare. They don't stay on very well and they have those front extensions for no reason (they could have easily been part of the chest. Honestly thought I had broken him and he sorta is, but I could just nailpolish the pegs, I guess. Legs are a little hindered by the skirting. You can use the mufflers/physical manifestations of the wings as legs, which is so handy. Epic stageless pose is epic~

He could have been engineered better, but as is he's still worth it, to me :)

Maybe a 3rd party company (a fansproject for Figuarts, if you will) will figure out a way to make him some real wings. Not that you can get the ones we got off once you have them on... Well, the pegs would be alright, so yeah they had just be damn good wings since these will have been stretched out and unusable.

I wonder if anyone sells stuff like that on yahoo! Japan. Fanmade figuarts accessories. Something to look for!

I wonder if the W basic sculpt just has amazing head articulation and no figuart is going to be able to compare in that department. He's a pretty expressive rider though, so it suits him!

Nasca shoulder pads do sound like a pain. :( Man, maybe figuarts just has trouble with shoulderpads, that sounds kind of similar to what I've heard about the Drake problem. Are they a pain to reattach? Being able to use the wings in creating poses would be so awesome, though. ^^ Looks like there really isn't much movement there? Can think of a stage pose I'd love to do if he had wings proper. ; ;

There are figuarts with awesome shoulder pads, though! A whole bunch of them, tbh. I own 2. W's and Accel's feel like they are permanently attached to the post and move up and down seamlessly with the arms.

It's easy to get them back on Nasca. They're just insanely loose. Like I said, maybe'll I'll try some nail polish.

You can move the wings back and forth, so you can have both of them in the same direction, like the wind is blowing.

sexpot

Nail polish often works wonders for problems like that. It can pass for sealing Sharpie-applied paint apps too.

I saw DCUC Zatanna at WalMart last night. Looked good in person, but I really didn't feel like dropping the 15 bucks.

Compensation :smrt:

I saw DCUC Zatanna at WalMart last night. Looked good in person, but I really didn't feel like dropping the 15 bucks.

Same for me! Well, not last night, but pretty recently. Was surprised to see her! She really does look like a nice figure but I just don't want her that much, though I'm sure my Booster and Ted would appreciate it. ;) Just after J'onn right now, and Jack Knight whenever he starts showing up in stores. And maybe that Hawkgirl/Gentleman Ghost thread on the last page.

also: why does no one but ebay have Gatack all of a sudden :( Hope he isn't going to go rare like Kickhopper, I'd really like him. I would settle for a Kabuto figure maybe but I have already planned so many poses with Gatack and I want RIDER CUTTING ; ; Does anyone have experiences ordering from Angolz? I asked them to email me if he or Sasword shows up.

I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to fix my vinyl Xtreme, Ktulu ^_^

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS

I was just at target and the DC guys were $7.50. All they had was Big Barda & 2 Shazams.

We're finally getting a Bastila Shan figure as well as a rebel fleet trooper.
(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5785968-original.html)

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5785972-original.html)
4th wave of lego guys. Need the viking, the gnome's hat should be useful for a link, I can make a Blackula with that wolfman had on the Dracula body and as someone already pointed out if you put the viking head on the haz-mat body you get Gordon Freeman.
(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5801329-original.html)

Grabbed this for my Xtreme. Green isn't the perfect shade, but size-wise, it fits wonderfully, and it is a pretty well made toy! I am driving Xtreme around as I type this one handed. The back wheel goes back for wheelies and it has a working kickstand. $7 well spent. Pics coming sometime soon!

I was going to grab one of those, too :(

Dang it. Naomi coffee supplies and DAT BIKE, tomorrow, hopefully.

They had a police bike that I almost grabbed for an Agito figure I don't have yet. XD Maybe I should decide whether I want G3, G3-X, or G4 before I start buying props for it. G3-X is probably my favorite aesthetics wise but G3 has the destroyer and G4 has DAT MISSILE LAUNCHIN'. ; ; I'll figure it out someday.

Well, knowing your motives, I know you won't be getting G3 Mild :p

Is G3 Mild getting a figure? I guess I could get one so he could ask my other figures to go eat fried meat~

Checked toy box, apparently he is! Man, Bandai, there are more pressing things here!

Yep, he's on the page you showed me! Oh, you already checked XD

YEAH, WHERE'S MY SWORD AND KING FORMS :mad:

I actually feel sort of offended on Blade and Hibiki's behalf ; ; Not for Ryuki though, since they're getting Figmas.

Actually, I feel offended on behalf of Den-O too. SHOW SOME LOVE FOR NON-MOVIE RIDERS. I WANT A ZERONOS!

As neat of an idea as it is, I really would like a Sword Form figure without a trillion pieces, and a King Form without a monstrous face ;;

I had only seen him through Dosm's camera before (back when I thought he was cool) and let's just say it isn't high definition. There's menacing and then there's monstrous :(

Sword Form has a twist action figure, think it's harder to find than the Momo one, though.

I really do wonder if someone at Bandai honestly believes more people would buy G3 Mild than they would a Sword Form figure. Not to mention any figure from Blade or Hibiki. Mold recycling, I though, but still. ; ; Maybe they're saving them so that they have more awesome old figures to release now that they're doing pretty well at releasing figures as shows come out!

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5652794-original.html)

I've seen a couple Den-O sets like that and they are just RETARDEDLY expensive. I'd want a regular yami Bakura over a thief king :(

Back on DCUC, saw the whole Wal-Mart wave tonight. They had two-three of everyone. Wonder how long they'll last?

Those eyes stare into the very fabric of my soul ಠ_ಠ

Why would you need that many flash drives? Wouldn't a USB hard disk be a better choice? <G>

lol. Have you watched W yet, Ram?

That's not even the whole set. It's all 26 and I think 9 secrets. I can't read Japanese, so that's just an assumption from the layout of the list and knowledge of Complete Selection 1 (The Dopant Memories)

Problem'll be that they're T2 memories (duh) and Metal, Trigger, and Fang won't do as much good as I'd wish they could.

Plus you would need to get a stylin' briefcase to put them in.

Passion State Decade is getting re-issued and not Violent Emotion Decade. ; ; Boo-hiss, Tamashii~

Well, I'm not into Tokukatsu programming, but I have looked W up and read up all I can on Wikipedia (gotta love full recaps). It's interesting to say, but I think I'll pass.

Passion State?

There's a Violent Emotion for $23 on da bay, right now. Almost tempted.

He's the one that's magenta and not hot pink. TBH I didn't know he was called Passion State Decade till I saw him on Tamashii's re-release schedule. Cyclone/Joker is getting a re-issue too.

So just normal Decade.

S.I.C. Super Climax is insane :(

I love clusterfucks ;_;; Go-Onger and Shinkenger would be so proud~

Yokatta Shopping Service - Gaia Memory 2 (http://yokattaweb.jp/store/preorder/111-complete-selection-gaia-memory-2.html)

Considerably less than $300! Still pricey, I know, but not as bad. ; ;

Never bothered to learn who this is but I love that laugh face and the other would make a nice Azula.

Thanks for looking :) I'm not ordering it. I have all the sounds in one memory, already, afterall.

Just need to remember to remind myself of these things from time to time. I could get 3 brand new molds (to me) for the price of Joker. I'm still debating that. Or not buying anything at all.

I hope I can convince myself of the latter.

Interesting that the word "Stormtrooper" is in english and not German. Now I wonder why that is.

Hey, everyone. I found one of these in the attic. It has no tags and I completely forget what it's called. If anyone knows and could tell me, that would be very helpful.

2796

It's a popple! No idea which one though.

Popple

Curse ye, Ninja woman~

Ah yes, a popple! I remember now, sort of. Thanks!

That's Party Popple. My favorite is Puffball.

Oh joy, popple hentai in my GIS. gjgj interwebz :mad:

Looks like she's rare (http://cgi.ebay.com/POPPLES-Party-Popple-Vintage-1986-Plush-Doll-14-/350369888025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5193ac3719). (And in case you were wondering, yes, she is going on eBay.)

I could never sell a Popple ;_;; I even have Popples drinking glasses....

Well, seeing as she was sitting in the attic, I don't really have any attachment to her. I could sell a popple to you. :D

I want to find my Puffball, now. I bet my mom knows where it is.

Aaaand looks like I'll be getting a figma.







She looks fantastic! Better than I expected based on pics I've seen of the Ryuki/Dragon Knight one. I'd consider Knight Survive too, if he looks as nice as Femme/Siren does. Feel bad leaving out Zolda but tbh I've never really liked his design that much. :( Maybe someday Phoenix Wright will get a proper figure so that I can have a super lawyer in my toy collection~

also: I used to have Popple bed stuff, back in the day!

There are girl riders?

I like that weird rubber muscle thigh armor.
(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5909509-original.html)

Several, in fact. Hoping one gets to be one in OOO.

that white knight lady rider looks cool

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5909509-original.html)

Sexy. I'm tempted to order that Makinami Mari figure.

That's fantastic. It oozes kick ass confidence. And the cape is really cool.

How does she fight the bad guys in those heels? What KR series is that from?

Femme is from Ryuki, but those Figmas are based on Dragon Knight, which was the American port but which got dubbed and aired in Japan.

It's the circle of Toku~

...which was the American port but which got dubbed and aired in Japan.

That's an odd thing to do.

I picked up a Dr. Manhattan figure. This guy has one of the best face molds I have ever seen in a figure. I'm trying to take pictures, but my camera is just not doing a good job.

That's an odd thing to do.

The craziest thing about it is that almost the entire dub cast is made up of Kamen Rider actors! Here is a list:

Satoshi Matsuda (Kamen Rider Knight in Ryuki) as Len/Kamen Rider Wing Knight.
Yuria Haga (Mari Sonoda in 555 and Mio Suzuki in Kiva) as Maya Young.
Kōji Yusa (Urataros in Den-O) as Drew Lansing/Kamen Rider Torque.
Tomokazu Sugita (Kivat-bat the 3rd in Kiva) as JTC/Kamen Rider Strike.
Kenji Matsuda (Kamen Rider Zanki in Hibiki and Jiro in Kiva) as Grant Staley/Kamen Rider Camo.
Shouma Yamamoto (Kamen Rider Saga in Kiva) as Brad Barrett/Kamen Rider Thrust.
Ryouta Murai (Kamen Rider Kuuga in Decade) as Albert Cho/Kamen Rider Spear.
Miyuki Sawashiro (Kiva-la in Decade) as Kase/Kamen Rider Siren.
Hōchū Ōtsuka (Deneb in Den-O) as Xaviax.
Tsuyoshi Koyama (Kamen Rider Odin in Ryuki) as Eubulon

Ura as Torque/Zolda is hilariously perfect to me, but I imagine the character is really different in the American version. Haven't seen any episodes with him in it (haven't seen much Dragon Knight period, tbh), so I'm not sure.

Checked wiki, he is a con-artist. Boo-hiss! Hopefully at least his personality is the same and he still hits on the show's Reiko equivalent at every opportunity.

Ura as a con-artist is fitting, at least~ Don't know anything about Zolda/Torque, so I'm sure there are plenty of reasons to be upset, though :(

Sexy. I'm tempted to order that Makinami Mari figure.

That's the figma, the Revoltechs don't come with the chair.

lol@splortch

yeah, I saw a few of them on ebay for a few bucks less with shipping than play-asia.com. She's pretty awesome and I enjoyed her in Evangelion 2.22.

In case anyone here might want to start/add to a Figuarts collection:

Rider Pathos: Giveaway #19 (December 2010) (http://riderion.blogspot.com/2010/12/giveaway-19-december-2010.html)

Things've been busy while you've been down, shrine~

I got a good look at the Souchaku Henshin Kuuga set I bought and I have to say that I like that it's less....advanced than the figuart. It feels simpler and that matches the tone of the show. Plus it's an older show, so an older figure feels pretty appropriate.

I wouldn't recommend researching it (if you're watching Kuuga) as it comes with another figure that's sort of a spoiler. I'll have someone for all my figuarts to fight with, finally! Well, MOMO and Ura will be fighting each other, anyway, but still!

Hi could you sell Lina with chibi Gourry to me? I'm seriously. Please let me know I'm really interested of it. My email is: [email protected]

Kintaros should be here. Sieg came in like 2 days. Fuggen snow :mad::mad::mad:

Holy jeebus the ToRide Vendor is awful ;;



All the other candroids are so good! This is like they aren't even trying :mad: I imagine they sacrificed the candroid and the vending machine mode for the bike and the combined mode.

I can't find a picture of the back of the machine. There's a good reason for this. There really isn't a back. Just a stand holding it up.

I'm on the verge of liking her but she needs more exploration. I'd hate to have a new character just to have a new character and not have them do anything. Misato needs more screen time in 3 and 4 too.

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/6025662-original.html)

Take a look at the Revoltech Ironman.
(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/6025649-original.html)
he can actually do the landing pose. I'm glad I skipped the donut Tony figure. I get to have Yotsuba in power armor. I think I'll also put an Asuka in there and Rei gets Warmachine if they produce one.

Toraidovendor is disapointing. :( The promo pics looked pretty neat.

Here is an amazing Kamen Rider G custom to brighten things up!





Kind of sad he'll never get a real toy now, though :(

Wait, is he the guy from the commercial?

Also, isn't the guy from Climax Deka called G, too? I'm gonna feel like poop if I'm wrong on both counts....

Finishing Kuuga. There's that, at least =/

He was in some Decade promo stuff :D

G was a Kamen Rider character created for an episode of the show SMAP�SMAP. TBH, I don't know much about the show, but one of the guys on it got to become a rider (G) and they told his story in the episode. Episode is subbed and on Youtube, it's really short if people want to watch it. Like maybe 20 minutes.

YouTube - Kamen Rider G 2/2 SUBBED (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMa0EGZ-xew)

I'll check it out soon :)

Okay, been checking out my new figuarts and I'll jot down some impressions. It's late and I'm tired, so no pics yet.

Kintaros

Hands down my current favorite figuart. Yes, I have played with Joker. The sculpt is insanely beautiful and his jacket and thigh guards even say Kin. They look like they have random squiggles, but if you look again you'll see it! It's mirrored on his right side. This detail just blows me away. The joints on mine are playable but still really tight. He feels incredibly solid. He can do squatting poses and comes with (dynamic) chopping hands to compliment this :D His shoulders are a little limited, but the pads don't pop off and he can get his ax to rest behind his head. I can't ask for more than that, so strike that limitation from the record.

If you love the character and have the means (and patience) to get him, there's no (other) excuse not to.

A+

Joker

It's the W mold. That's the fact of the matter, at the end of the day. The only sculpt difference is the lost driver replacing the double driver. The matte finish is gorgeous and even provides a nice tactile difference (yeah, okay that's obvious). Mine is insanely tight. He's beyond Kintaros's SOLID; He feels like A SINGLE PIECE.

Unless you're a Shoutarou/Joker fanboy, you aren't going to be buying this, and that's A-OK.

No grade. It's a must-own or a pass that requires no thought.

Urataros

He's a good figure! He's not stellar, but he does enough of what he needs to. He definitely feels like a regular release, but I'm not sure what else they could have done for him if he wasn't. His design is probably the least intricate of all and it's captured here perfectly well. Mine's a little more wiggly than Kintaros but he isn't loose, by any means.

If there's any noteworthy complaint I can level it's that he has a paucity of hands. He's sitting prettier than Agito Ground form, that's for sure, but he needs more. What is here is very serviceable, however. His calm hands are arranged in such a way that the the fingers are fanned and look dynamic. If you've seen Ura in action, you know this is pretty appropriate and they will be posed near his face or with his elbow cupped and the hand cocked outward......yeah it's hard to describe that pose, but, again, if you've seen Ura, you've seen this pose. Mainly I wish that he had a normal holding-things left hand instead of just his coffee holding hand. Sieg has a one off hand for his coffee, this should have been the case with Ura! He's uses a rod, we need two holding-things hands!!!

He's cheap, because he didn't sell well. If you think you want him, you should probably get him. He's hella worth it for the prices he usually goes for.

B+

Sieg

I'm not sure how big a fanbase Sieg has, but I think it's safe enough to say that he's the only imagin I wouldn't have complained about being an exclusive. I'll come down from my lunatic Sieg high long enough to say that I do know he's essentially a movie imagin :( Mine has about as much play as Urataros and is basically completely unfettered. The skirt pieces are jointed and Sieg isn't going to be doing any Perceptor kicks, anyway. He can do the ***** ****** pose and the ** **** **.......!!! pose and that's good enough for me! I'd say all the production money went into the sculpt, which isn't as detailed as Shuki would have you believe, but is still massively gorgeous enough to befit the character.

Besides his coffee and saucer he only comes with a coffee-holding hand and his fists. It's pretty telling that they aren't the hands that are on him in the box. He might be the only figuart to have that honor. His splayed hands are perfect and all I could wish is that we got some other speciality hands as opposed to the fists. I don't see Sieg ever violently throwing a punch (other than the closed-handed blocking he's done--or I could be wrong completely, it's 6am ;; ). But, believe me, if he does do it in the post-series movies, I will squee like a madman (not that this is the highest praise, or even a particularly meaningful sentiment, as I squee anytime he's on screen). He's pointing in the picture on the box. Looks cool. Hence, he should have had a pointing hand! His coffee is plain, but that's screen accurate and having regular whip cream to match his color wouldn't have been Naomi's most creative moment. I suppose he could have come with a plate of food?

I can't in good.....logic complain that he didn't come with wings. The figures of him that do are even more expensive than this release. He has ankle wings, so he's getting his Hermes on, at the very least.

Like I said, I don't know how much of a following this guy has. If you love him, try to find him cheap like I was able to. I think he'd go well with a Deneb, but that might be me reaching for straws.

Someone have the Lina's Inverse action figure? I read that someone post here that was his first toy. If you want, sell it to me!!!! Or someone else that has it! :-) I'm talking about the Lina Inverse action figure with a chibi Gourry Gabriev made by BANDAI in 1998. http:// Please answer me!!!!

...He can do squatting poses and comes with (dynamic) chopping hands to compliment this :D

I love DYNAMIC CHOP! :laugh:

Neg & Marcy should love this one.

1st live pics of the Harryhausen Skeleton.

Lupin one totally makes me think of Castle of Cagliostro. Wish I had a gif of the part I mean. ; ;

And man, the Skull one! What an awesome idea. ^____^ The facial expression on the skeleton does seem pretty hardboiled. ;)

also I love that you called me Marcy <3


I'll check it out soon :)

Okay, been checking out my new figuarts and I'll jot down some impressions. It's late and I'm tired, so no pics yet.

KintarosThe sculpt is insanely beautiful and his jacket and thigh guards even say Kin.

Squee! I didn't know that, that is amazing! So great to hear that he poses so well. ^^ It's a shame he's so hard to get, he sound like he's so well made. ; ; Can't wait to see your pictures.


I think he'd go well with a Deneb, but that might be me reaching for straws.

No no, I think they'd be so much fun to play off of each other! You could set Sieg up and pretty much have Deneb waiting on him hand and foot, Deneb even comes with the fan so you could have him fanning Sieg and everything. Definitely a good imagin pair.

So neat to hear your feedback, especially with the hands, because unless you're looking for something specific hand-wise I think it's hard to tell how well the hands will suit your playing and posing until you actually...well, have your hands on them. There's someone out there that custom makes figuarts hands for people? But I think they're pretty expensive. I see him selling calm Agito hands all the time.

Also worth mentioning- if anyone else here does collect Figuarts or wants to get into it, I'm happy to look for cheap Figuart releases for you. I check Mandarake every day and AmiAmi twice a day (because that's how often they update!). There are some figures I'm never going to find on the cheap, like Skull, but I see a lot of fantastic deals. Saw an amazing price on a Nasca yesterday but I decided to think it over and when I went back he was bought. XD If people are after other Japanese toys, I can check for those too!

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5991051-original.html)

It would be pretty amazing if Soukichi actually had a skull head as a secondary helmet! Imagine how menacing and intimidating it'd be ;_;;

Making custom figuart hands sounds like a lucrative idea! Except in the one case everyone can think of. There'll never be another Ura figure (maybe not even a re-release), so if someone really wanted more hands, it'd make sense. With Agito Ground, though (depending on how expensive these custom hands are) it might be more worthwhile to buy a Trinity Form. You'd get the hands you want, and a whole 'nother (completely awesome) figure.

I guess let me know if you see a Kickhopper? I can't promise 100% that I'll buy it, like with Sieg and Kin, however :( It'll just depend on how wild a hair I have at the given moment~ Thank you :)

Momotaros

MOMO is a godly figuart. He's almost Joker-level tight. He's a bit shafted on hands, too, but I honestly buy Momo having a rage hand or fist even when he's drinking coffee. He can even get his Godai on. It doubles as a flick-my-nose-at-you hand, to boot. I forgot to mention that Ura comes with his.....sign and a party hat. Yeah, hi Doc! Momo comes with his and a pair of sunglasses. I'm not going to be using any of those, since they're paper, but it's still cool that they are there. Ryuu will definitely be using his pictures and crayons, however! MOMO's thigh guards also say Momo! If you count the O on his chest twice, it says it, too. Yeah, his chest and back say Mom XD

Whether you get the DX set or just MOMO, he's definitely worth picking up. You should try for him or Fang/Joker, Doc :)

I probably will get the DX set if it becomes easier to find again. Deneb and Momo would be a weird pair, but I wouldn't mind having an excuse to get an Ura, playing him off Deneb would be the greatest, and I'd have so much fun playing with him and Femme. ; ;

The guy who makes the custom hands models them on his computer, I guess? And then makes them somehow. So I think if it's something a lot of people want, like the Agito hands, it's a lot cheaper than it might be to get special hands made for one person.

I will totally let you know if I see a Kickhopper. ^^ I'm after him myself too, so maybe if you decide not to grab him I'll take it as a sign. ;) Was going to grab my SH Altair/Vega today but he's nowhere now. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME ; ;

DC Universe Classics fans! There are rumors on wave 18 through 20 circulating!

New DCUC Rumors : Poe Ghostal&#039;s Points of Articulation (http://www.poeghostal.com/2010/12/new-dcuc-rumors.html)

Wouldn't spend a penny on the theoretical wave 18 but waves 19 and 20 would cost me a fortune. Think I'd even go for the collect and connect on the JSA wave. ; ; It would be so great for my collection!

I found a really cheap set of both Kick and Punch from the seller I bought Super Climax from. I'll probably grab it when that finally gets here :) Liking older toys for older series is going to save me some money, I swear!

Could always try a middleman for Altair/Vega?

Yeah, I was told he pops up a lot on yahoo! Japan. Just need to figure out what to search for besides ゼロノス, since a ton of other stuff pops up and it's just a lot to sort through.

I'd love to see the link to the Hoppers set you're considering. ^^ I am mostly still hoping that Kickhopper will get re-released. ; ; Sasword is starting to get pricey too, Kabuto is a dangerous series!

I'm hoping my preemptive assaults on Blade and Kabuto will save me some trouble :) I've seen a little tiny bit of the Hoppers in action and philosophy, and yeah, pretty sure I'll adore them. I'll link you the auction in a PM. Lots of pics, but posting an ebay auction might invite lurkers to beat me to the.....punch

XD

God, I'm a dork ;;

I think pretty much everyone loves Kickhopper. I have heard some people complain about Punchhopper but the two of them together are wonderful. ; ; I think mostly Punch is less popular because he just doesn't work as a standalone figure at all, if you have him you need his aniki!

Figuarts Kickhopper prices are terrifying! So anything that keeps you away from that can only be a good thing. I am resigned to the fact I'll probably never own them unless I catch an amazing deal on Kickhopper or if he gets re-released. I've been tempted to buy Punch several times because deals on him are fantastic, but I am afraid having him all by his lonesome is the sort of thing that lures people into paying 100+ for Kick :( He's not even an exclusive!

The one on ebay right now is $100 before shipping. I know I didn't initially, but I do love figuarts. Still, I really like toys that are more traditionally defined as toys, as well. It's fun for me that I'll have figures from the originals lines for these series. Figuarts are fantastic, but I don't have this drive that everything I buy has to be the figuart. I'm glad I feel that way, and my wallet is too ^_^

Nothing against Onodera, but my Kuuga is 100% Godai :D

It looks like the masters line has a army building grunt figure with 2 human and 2 monster faces plus they worked the barrel chest battle damage in somehow.

There are definitely some nice alternatives out there for a lot of characters. Might have to go for that method if Kabuto figures don't get re-issued this year, maybe to get Decade and Diend too, though I am not sure I'm a fan of most of the non-figuarts Decade stuff out there.

tbh I think Onodera is going to be a lot harder to enjoy after seeing Kuuga ; ; Kind of glad I watched Decade first because of that. He's just not the same guy. ; ;

Zeronos memory is on Mandarake, thinking about getting it just so I can hear DENEBUUUUU all day~

YouTube - Review: Power Rangers Samurai - Mega Ranger Figures (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2WYwVcfROc)

The raping has begun. Mouthplates under the Kanji? Jesus.

Those pecs look kind of ridiculous. Like steroid boobs ; ;

Stay away from the previews for the show if you don't want to get even more upset :(

There's reviews of the US release of Shinken-Oh up. I almost want to see, so I can make more anti-Bandai of America motivators.

Not that that's productive....

I really should just stay away from it, altogether ;;

Shuki was like They're S.I.C.-like and I'm all FUCK S.I.C.!!!!

Sounds like the auxiliaries got changed. Ryu Origami got cut in half. Samurai Ha-Oh won't be possible, it seems. *sigh*

Introducing Deneb Lantern~



In brightest day, in blackest night
no Yuuuuuto shall escape my sight~

I can honestly see Philip wearing the watermelon helmet ^_______^

Shoutorou, it is highly likely that this will improve my social skills!

I think his armor looks like a face of some sort! Like kabuki/samurai-ish :)

Mune no kao wa kazari da~

I wish so much I could've done a picture with the watermelon helmet on Xtreme, but it wouldn't fit ; ; Had to angle Faiz just right to get it to work.

He took a lot of getting used to before I got a decent feel for how to pose him! I felt like his range was really limited until I moved him around more and realized what I had to do to create some poses. He's really light, maybe as light as Xtreme. For some reason I was imagining him as being weightier, closer to Faiz. Guess Faiz still has the booty power~ He has a hand with a hole for accessories, it's so nice. Just so happy to have him, they really need to re-issue him already! Mine has 4 stars, makes me wonder if they've ever re-released him. :(

Just from reviews, I think the skirt being hinged allows for more options than the S.I.C. If nothing else, kneeling down is less hampered in that the pieces won't be fighting you, trying to raise him off the floor. There really isn't too much you can do with them outside of actually making them cloth, I guess. I like the figuart alternative, personally, but I think it's safe to say I've crossed the threshold on my feelings about S.I.C.s :(

Yeah, I go back and forth on whether I wish Figuarts would use cloth. On the one hand, it's ideal for more realistic stuff, like say, that kneeling pose, but with fabric, it's tricky to do the dynamic poses like you can with, say, Cyclone/Joker's scarves.

Femme has a cloth cape, so I feel like I will be able to give a full opinion on the matter once she gets here (she's the one I pre-ordered the other day. Skull, you're next!)

I'm not sure why they couldn't do both, depending on what's right for the situation :) Deneb's skirt wouldn't lose any functionality from being cloth, and stuff like mufflers could stay plastic so they could be posed/flowing.

I should have guessed that, but just assumed you had pre-ordered Skull ;) I've seen Skulls going for the price of Joker on Mandarake. Glad people who are die-hard fans have that option for an original as opposed to what goes down on ebay.

I've actually already contacted Yokatta about Skull, so you weren't far off! Just haven't gotten a reply yet.

Femme was on sale, and I'm sort of irrationally worried about missing out on her, partly because I'm not familiar at all at how often figmas are re-issued and how hard they can be able to get post-release, and partly because she's the only Ryuki figure I'm planning on right now.

I don't get the irrational guilt about buying stuff close together with pre-orders that I do with straight up buying figures for some reason.

Were did that watermelon accessory come from?

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/6025652-original.html)

The watermelon accessory came with Deneb. Lantern is either Alan Scott's or Hal Jordan's, I keep all my DCUC accessories together and just grabbed one out for pictures. Can't believe I never thought to do that before, btw. ; ;

Birth Driver doesn't do much for me, but the Buster has some neat functionality. I think it's the multi-docking clip that's doing it for me. Plus, it's really big. It's not the Garren Rouser, but it's pretty cool, imo!

YouTube - Review: DX Birth Buster - Kamen Rider OOO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQehLbEK6wo)

I'm planning on selling some stuff soon. I'll ask around here of course but are there any recommended sites for buying, selling, & trading?

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/5980640-original.html)

Kamen Rider Pachinko Birth is kind of growing on me, tbh.

Sagouzo got put up on the Tamashii site! Comes out in April.

I was looking at pre-orders and Yokatta doesn't have RaToraTa up, yet. Of course, I'll probably want TaJaDoru more than that, anyway. The main page for preorders says Rising Titan is closed, but the individual page says open. You are infuriating me, Yokatta :mad:

I was looking at the movie's page on wikipedia to figure out if Cyclone was indeed in it, and it doesn't have a very detailed description. Also was hoping that Ankh's full form had been posted, since Eiji gets a hold of Kujaku and Condor and logically Ankh'd be able to be whole.

And WHY WHY WHY is everyone snickering over Breast Cannon. It's a cannon on his chest. Are all of you 5 years old?

:seriously:

This just scares me...


But I do own one toy. It's a Lina Inverse figurine w/ chibi Gourry.



Hi Alvilslare, could you sell your Lina Inverse to me? Contact me here: [email protected]

Don't take his one toy ;;

Of course, this could convince him to buy more to replace it....

Hi Alvilslare, could you sell your Lina Inverse to me? Contact me here:

avilslare will be offline for a while so it's unlikely the request will even be seen. :sad:

There's a far inferior 4 inch figure on ebay, right now. It's in Italy? Holy jeez ;; Oh, it's a reasonable amount of time to ship from there to the US, after all.

Does anyone know why it takes 30 days to ship from Japan/HK to Italy, anyway?

I would guess that stuff tends to get held up in customs and they include that in shipping estimates. When I had stuff shipped to me from the US to Italy it took forever to get to me too.

I still need to post pics of the RE5 Chris Redfield STARS version figure I got last year... I can't get him to be in the cool poses they have on the sites with pictures of him. :(

Ryuutaros

For whatever reason it didn't even occur to me that Ryuu would have the same skirt system as Deneb :( I'm oblivious at all the worst times, it seems. It really doesn't affect the poses I want to pull off, thankfully. The hardest is him sitting cross legged, but I don't really see myself doing that often, or ever again. He's in Kin's range of tightness and the only problem I've had is his kneepad popping off. I stuck it back in there fairly well and it hasn't come out since. Once you have a figuart you just adapt to how you have to play with them. The screen accuracy of the sculpts is SO worth the minor problems they cause. This is unlike some other lines *cough*Stupid*cough*Idiotic*cough*Crap*cough* Oh, excuse me ;; I think the pros will always outweigh the cons as long as you're only buying figures that you love.

He has all the hands he needs to pull off his iconic poses, and as far as I can tell he has the articulation to match. I don't remember him sitting cross legged, anyway. The only actual problem is he doesn't hold his gun as well as he should. This is a notable problem considering how important that is. I've got him holding it sideways out in front of him, right now, and it's staying up, so just don't try to fit his index finger into the trigger. If you sacrifice that so he's holding it in the rest of his fingers, it's stable enough.

He joins Nasca in the can't-go-back-into-his-box club, because of his hair and his headphones. This isn't a nitpick, however. My toys need to be out of their boxes more than they are in them, anyway. He feels every bit the exclusive that he is. If you have to pick between him and Kin, get the one you love the most as a character. They are both (roughly) equal in quality. I'm not going to get into ranking shenanigans, but he's my little buddy and I have to make up for the time I lost hating him.

I'll probably try to find some tiny crayons, since I thought his were real. They're just printed on the cardboard and his paper is blank. Lamesauce. I'll get pictures of everything done when I get them done. Things started being hectic again :(

I found these:

Dollhouse Miniature Box of Crayons [COT1022] - Zoolabees.com (http://zoolabees.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=796)

1:12 scale, so they should work! I'll keep looking for more though, looking at dollhouse stuff is probably your best bet, most of it seems to be in the right scale and they have a good variety of stuff.

This (
Once you have a figuart you just adapt to how you have to play with them.) is sold out but if you contacted them they might make another set! Those crayons look really good.

Anyways!


Once you have a figuart you just adapt to how you have to play with them.

This is so true, and although it can be a pain in the butt, it's honestly something I really love about the line. It just makes them feel more...I guess like their own separate character, and not just one part of a toy line? And I like having to spend the time to adjust to the figure. ; ; I'm just weird, I guess.

This is really a shame. :( I wish more figures had the holes in the insides of the hands for holding stuff like Deneb does. He's one of the earliest figuarts though, so I'm guessing they probably did away with that feature. Maybe messing around with that will get you better grips too? Sometimes I get the object right in a hand before I pop it on, and that helps a lot, but probably wouldn't work in this case.

So happy you have all your imagin! So excited to see pictures whenever you have the time, and it's awesome to hear your reviews until then. ^^ Ryuutaros seems like he'd be such an awesome computer buddy, I can totally see him coloring next to you while you're browsing the internet. ^^ Deneb is sitting with me right now!

I would guess that stuff tends to get held up in customs and they include that in shipping estimates. When I had stuff shipped to me from the US to Italy it took forever to get to me too.

What were you doing in Italy that you needed toys so fast?

I got the crayons from the first site and a bunch of other stuff :) (since the second link is just text from my post, but I'd love to see those crayons, if I could. Just to see how cool they are!).

No, no, every figuart does feel pretty unique (unless you're a W form XD I love you W, you know I do ;; ) and it's totally worth the enjoyable time it takes to master them ^^

Putting weapons in hands before attaching them is a good way of fixing such problems, and I'll try it with Ryuu, but it might be hard with his cuffs. They don't make putting on hands nearly as hard as one would fear, but it might be a tight squeeze to get my finger and the gun and the hand in there.

Don't ya hate it when your hamfists don't fit child's playthings?

S.H. Figuarts aren't for children, but yes :mad:

I just remember my grandparents shipping stuff to me I'd forgotten to pack and it taking ages to get there, I don't think it was toys, though I suppose it might've been!

Here's something I've thought about ordering for Deneb:

1/12 Scale Dollhouse Miniature Tray of by SweetPetiteNovelties (http://www.etsy.com/listing/60508346/112-scale-dollhouse-miniature-tray-of)

Trying to follow your lead and think of accessories for my other figures too. ^^ Getting something for Faiz like a coffee mug or a bowl of hot soup would be great, I could pose him blowing on it. I am already getting my most wanted accessory for my Xtreme via another purchase, but I'll have to come up with something else that feels right. I'd really like some miniature comic books too, if anyone knows where to get some good ones. Ones I've been finding don't open.

And if you ever wanted something for your figures to destroy... (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dollhouse-Miniature-Twilight-Books-Stephanie-Meyer-1-12-/150529420085?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230c40ab35#ht_1028wt_906)

Was it the figuart Kabuto figures that had the bow-legged problem?

That is a pretty neat coloring book! The one I got has a sailboat. I do like the idea of Ryuu coloring cats and flowers, though ^^ As opposed to violent pictures XD

The site has a sushi tray if you do end up getting Genta ;)

I can see it now..... Hey, Stephanie and Rob, try my hissatsu attack, LITERARY VERSION!!!!

IIRC it's only the earlier Kabuto figs that have the bowleggedness? Though I've heard it's not too bad for the hoppers. I know Sasword is fine, anyways! He just needs to show up somewhere already. :(

The Diend thing you mentioned has me pretty sold on Genta right now, since I wanted him anyways. Mostly I want him to steal Ika and then say EASY AS STEALING A FAIZ GEAR. ; ; I really do think I could have a lot of fun with him, even if having only one non-rider Figuarts feels a bit weird.

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/6090754-original.html)

Image removed? what did i post there?

I know that not too many people here collect Figuarts, but maybe this'll lure some people out of hiding~



If money was no object, I'd want just about any Kamen Rider figuarts, so I only checked want for the ones I thought there was a good chance of me buying.

Here's the template so that other people can do it! It'd be awesome if some people who don't collect figuarts participated too, I'd love to see what stuff people would want. ^___^

Want (not shown):

OOO: TaJaDoru
Shinken Green (Tani Chiaki)

Holy Grail:

ehhhhhhh.....I dunno. Kin or Joker. If I already own my holy grail, does that mean I win?

Hmm... Mostly Rider guys with a few Dragon Ballers and One Piece thrown in. It looks like they have a few other licenses but I doubt I'll be getting any of them soon. Was waiting for after christmas to Skeleton Warrior but there was too many things that kept coming up and my accounts need tending then he got released early and Rei got pushed back and now he's all sold out at amiami and Rei isn't coming until February. :/

Which is why they are Mostly awesome ;)

Souchaku Henshin Den-O Liner Form

This thing is basically a work of art. The armor is all die-cast and actually looks ceramic because of the paint. Articulation matches figuarts (with the ball-joint hips) except for the feet. The Den Kamen Sword is fully functional and Momo's mask opens and closes. It comes with two rider passes, one to hold and one for the sword. You have to sticker them, but I'm only going to sticker the one that isn't in the sword. You can't see the stickers from there, anyway, and the one that isn't recessed would probably scrape off going in. This isn't a nitpick (just consider the second set of stickers a back-up if you screw up). It's ironic that the sword-holding hands aren't the ones with articulated fingers. I guess that makes sense, though, since the sword is too heavy for them. Yes, Ryou can hold it with both hands to be perfectly screen accurate.

I know that the Den-O Souchaku Henshin line is considered to be one of the best and I have to agree. It's basically a cold-to-the-touch figuart, and it is wonderful across the board. I hope my Ultimate Kuuga and Blade King Form are equally stunning.

Die-cast parts like hot wheels?! That's quality work right there.




(Hot Wheels cars are still .97 cents most places and actually cost more at big lots, $1. Shopko wants $1.19 for them.

Yeah. Most figuarts have die-cast feet. They're phasing it out, I think. But, I'm fairly sure most Souchaku Henshin armor is die-cast.

Have to check HLJ probably should just buy these 2 separately instead of trying to bundle. What does everyone else think?

Every time I go to Ami Ami nothing is in stock. Drives me bananas. It's the same at CSToys, but I'm luckier with being on there at the right times.

T2 memories are drawn to highly compatible users, afterall~

This Other Agito looks cool. Kinda more biosuitish than the other guys. The Hercules beetle pinchers on the arms and legs is fun.

He's an organic rider like Gills and Shin, as far as I know.

To be honest, I'm not drawn to that look.

Cstoys doesn't seem to have much at this moment.

My mine gripe, atm, is that the gashapon Taka medal is out of stock. It's for the best, really. If I did get it and the Taja Spinner (for Kujaku and Condor), I'd end up wanting an OOO driver and that can't happen.

Also wish the re-release of Violent Emotion was a little cheaper.

Yup, he's an organic rider. Dr. Another Agito is a pretty neat figure from what I've heard, but I've also heard people compare him to Nasca so they might have similar issues? He's definitely nice looking.

The best time to check AmiAmi is at night, in EST anyways. They update their stock twice a day, I don't think there's a specific time. I wonder if there's an RSS feed that'll let you know when they update!

I've always had good experiences ordering from HLJ. They're a bit pricier than AmiAmi but a good site to order from!

Doesn't look like there's one, but night checking will suffice.

I used to think collecting medals would be soooooo easy because they don't come with expensive toys like the Metal and Trigger memories, but noooooooooooooooo. That made them even harder to get. Somebody said people were lining up for the first medal set in Japan.

Poopieheads ;;

I just want some red medals :(

Releasing your product in short supply makes no sense from the creator viewpoint. They've already made their money once they sell to a vendor for the agreed price who in turn jacks the selling point as high as they want it.

I thought the medals were going to be a lot easier to get after a month or two, but apparently that is not the case! :( Since they're selling so well, I bet it means there is going to be something like medals and gaia memories for the next Kamen Rider too, and maybe even in sentai!

Den-O Super Climax Gashapon

Absolutely stunning workmanship. You can see that the Keitaros phone is painted accurately and check out the gradient on the eyes! Every piece is separate, so it feels very much like a sentai mecha or Voltron or a TF gestalt (Ryuu controls the legs, even though his mask is on the chest, if you weren't aware, Doc :) ). The Den Gasher pieces aren't painted, but who cares, look at the belt, people! Because every piece is separate, it can be Climax Form or Super Climax Form. But, who wouldn't want Sieg thrown on top of the pile?

Best $3 EVER. ZOMG new camera~

Man, can't believe that's a vending machine toy! Paint job and level of detailing is incredible. ^^ Sure it'll make an awesome desk buddy!

Pictures look really good too! Is that some Kuuga fanart I spot in the background?

Hopefully, I just acquired my first Souchaku Henshin! I'm waiting for my confirmation from Mandarake. ^^ Speaking of Mandarake, you might want to try them, Tom! They sell a lot of stuff beside Kamen Rider toys and I've had such good luck with them so far.

I'm a liar. The axe blade is painted.

Yep, the wallpaper is in some of the shots from the last batch, too iirc.

Veryvery good for not just $3 but also that being a collect-a guy. My Gainax girls aren't even as detailed as him.

MUST. FIND. NEW. POKEPLUSHIES.

Togekiss, too.

MUST. FIND. NEW. POKEPLUSHIES.

Togekiss, too.

The new pokemans material is kinda cheap. Sort of a slimy feel to it. Those 1st issue ones were great. Not cheap but fair. Little brother got lots of 'em.

I'm going to assume you mean the plastic stuff. I have some older plastic stuff. It's good times. 3rd Gen. May's set and then I have a giant Palkia that a student gave to me when I quit student teaching. The Blaziken that lights up. A good handful of plushies.

They looked fine in the video. I don't think I'd buy more plastic stuff, anyway.

What does it mean when an item's stock is "Storefront Item"?

(http://www.pimpandhost.com/image/6207619-original.html)

That it might have been opened. But, I think they sit them in windows because the cheapest Nasca I saw had a box that looked sun-faded.

For the record, my Sieg and Kintaros were opened and they were 100% perfect, so I wouldn't fret over any that say open.

Should warn you that if you spend less than 5000 yen at one store you're charged a 500 yen stocking fee! But they really have good prices on a lot of hard to find stuff, and I am really glad to have found their site. I have a list of stuff that I check for every day! ^^

I don't have a ton of Pokemon toys, but I'm really happy with the quality of what I do have! I plan on buying an Emonga (or whatever it is called in the US) as soon as I see one in stores. I'd totally get a Froslass too but I don't think she's ever getting a plush. ; ;

Jedimon's Sieg started a rebellion and knocked a bunch of his Kiva figuarts over as well as the other imagin that were on the tv with him (Deneb, Momo, and Ura). This was after his Sasword knocked over all the rest of his Kabutos~

Clearly it was a unified plot to be atop his figuart collection.

HE IS THE MAN THAT STANDS ON TOP OF KNOCKING OVER KABUTO MOLDS!

I came up with that joke too slow ;; But I edited it in, anyway.

Sieg and Tsurugi fanfiction, GO GO GO

They'd be so cute hanging out together ; ; And Sieg would probably love Jiya. And Jiya would just be happy to have a friend for Bocchama ^^

If I didn't abuse smiley privledges enough already I would totally add this

That's just mean. Well they do have the Mass production Eva with weapons for 3000 yen.

Considering the prices Mandarake affords us, 6ish bucks isn't really a drawback. I've never ordered more than one thing at a time.

The boys are getting these funky self-assembled boxes from them now. Really weird.

I've been thinking about grabbing Accel and Nasca together, along with the Deneb and Zeronos memories, since they always have them in stock at the same store when I check. No stocking fee plus combined shipping!

I'm pretty sure you only pay the stocking fee once per order as long as all the items you get are from the same store.

I wish they'd update the plot for Movie Core. If they don't do Cyclone or Fang in it, I'll be forced to get the Final Form Ride set :(

I have a feeling they didn't, because we'd know about a vinyl for it by now, right?

Yes but I tend to over hunt then and that ain't good for no one. There have been several things I've passed on because I was going to do a combined order which I was unsure of 1 of the items and by the time I decided 1 or more of the things got sold out form under me :/

There's another 3,500 Nasca up there. Looks sun-beaten, too.

They're not in it, unless the spoilers I've read are wrong. It's actually

way, way more of a Skull story than a W story and almost the entire W portion pre-OOO is Skull stuff

Also, apparently in the OOO half

Eiji uses the medal case and not Ankh? wtp ; ;

And man, I guess I have bad timing for ordering stuff. ; ; Though that Nasca is from a different store, so they might not be able to combine shipping anyways.

;; I guess I don't REALLY need a Philip

Awesome looking human figures, come on, Bandai!



Not sure how I feel about Tatoba's box art! I like that the boxes will look so different for Shinkenger figures, though.

Did Eiji fall over? :O Or was that on purpose?

I think he fell. As for boxes I don't really care what they look like, just toss 'em to the 3 R's. I love Star Wars' currant cards, the back is much lighter and the bubble is only as big as it needs to be plus it looks like 80's toys.

I could never throw out Japanese packaging. The thought is horrifying!

I couldn't either ; ; The boxes are so nice! And, they make pretty terrific makeshift risers. ;)

The Tatoba box just looks kind of messy to me but maybe it'll look better in clearer pictures. Faiz's box is my favorite out of what I own.

Definitely think Eiji fell over, otherwise I think they would've posed his legs differently.

I'm going to guess that Tom doesn't own any sentai mecha, because I don't think there's anyone on the planet who could bring themselves to throw out such customized packaging.

I actually really like that the crest is on the front of the box. I think I would have preferred it to be on a solid patch and not on the window, but hey, it's there. They've been really great about using the specific crests instead of the generic OOO logo for Ganbaride cards and I'm sooooo glad that's carrying over to the Figuarts boxes.

Can't wait to see TaJaDor's box.

Bet TaJaDor will get a colored box ^___^

I'm really excited to see the Shinken Gold box, now! And all the other Shinkenger boxes.

OOO can be seen in Ep. 47 of W? Am I just really dense or do I not remember this.

Or is this person asking Shuki about it talking about how Neon Ulsland is looking at the medals as a possible investment other than Gaia Memories?

You like that? I said Neon Ulsland. Uh-huh.

:smug:

I definitely don't remember seeing OOO in ep 47.

This looks insanely awesome ; ;



Apparently it was a TRU exclusive? Wonder how hard it is to get.

Wheelchair got that a while back. I hear it's expensive. I've talked about wanting it previously, yes~

Except that I'd want it 100% if it HAD WING FORM

There's a statue-y figure that actually lets you transform the armor exactly how it works on the show (Ryuu's energy pods flipping up from Momo's chestpiece and Kin's splitting off to form Ura's shoulder pieces). It was cheap, too. But it's in Malaysia and they were talking about shadily marking it as something else to get it through the postal system and I was like WTF NO.

Maybe you can find it somewhere else, it sounds like a lot of fun to play with! You could even cue up sounds to play while you transformed stuff ^__^

Not toy related, but apparently in Episode Yellow

They actually address the Momotaros throwing the pass thing

Gonna have to try and watch it tomorrow now!

Haha! I haven't seen it, I swear this is just conjecture, but why do I feel like Kaitou is going to steal it after he throws it? XD

I definitely don't remember seeing OOO in ep 47.

Anyone like to see my rod form?

I dunno, you as hot as Ura-Ryoutarou, big boy? :naughty:

Haha! I haven't seen it, I swear this is just conjecture, but why do I feel like Kaitou is going to steal it after he throws it? XD

OH GOD I HOPE THIS IS RIGHT

easy as stealin' a Faiz gear~

Man, I was gonna go to bed, but now I kind of want to stay up and create ridiculous Kamen Rider themed pick up lines

Souchaku Henshin Ultimate Kuuga (and Go-Gadoru-Ba)

Kuuga himself is fairly well articulated, especially considering that he was released in 2000. I'd say it's sad that he can't pull off the second part of his henshin pose, but I suspect the figuart can't, either. Oh Godai, bringing your arm completely around to the other side of your body~

His greatest weakness isn't his design or build quality, it's in the build materials. The chest armor is die-cast, and the shoulder-pads are hard plastic, but the wrist and shin armor are very soft plastic and time has not been kind to them, in the slightest. They do not fit securely and unless you have them on exactly right, they can hinder articulation. This probably wasn't nearly as big a problem when the figure was released and the plastic was new. The same plastic is used for his weapons and they are sadly (yet only slightly) warped. I love that they were included and will never stop marveling over the fact that they chose to represent his weapons even though we never see Ultimate Form use them. Fanservice, ftw :)

Gadoru is basically a brick and has less articulation than a vinyl Rider or Sentai Hero figure. He can move his arms. He looks fairly nice, however, and could be painted to represent something I won't spoil here. In the same vein, they could have chosen a more obvious character to include with Kuuga, but I am actually glad they chose Gadoru. There are those who know why I say this, and it isn't a sleight to the other character in the slightest. There's a very specific reason.

The set comes with a stand and a backdrop that depicts dark clouds. It looks really nice, but Kuuga can pull off a few dynamic poses, so I'd rather keep him in the one shown below than just clamp his feet onto the stand, making him immobile.

I'm not disappointed that I own this figure, as it is a part of toy history and the packaging is quite stunning. I do see myself purchasing the Figuart, however =/

Fights! ^________^

That's a really nice looking box! I love the lettering.

If you do wind up getting the figuart

You could use the head with the black eyes and have it fight this figure! A sort of symbolic thing~

Sculpt on Godoru looks terrific, even if he isn't that posable. I like the detailing. And Kuuga himself still looks like he's much more posable than your typical action figure.

lol, the tv is dusty but Joker isn't. Oh priorities~

That's not a bad idea :) I'm fairly sure Gadoru can pull off holding the weapons, and it'd be appropriate. Probably exactly why they included him!

Like I said, his articulation isn't bad by any means. This represents the end of the first phase of Souchaku Henshins and you can definitely see the ideas that got carried forward. Much like the show, the toys for Kuuga hold the seeds of the features that have come to define Heisei era toys :)

Souchaku Henshin Blade King Form

Oh. my. god. I do feel like a bit of a nutjob for buying a toy from a show I haven't watched yet, but I don't care, because this form is absolutely gorgeous and is represented here astoundingly. I can't tell you if it's perfectly screen accurate, but it's close enough from what I've seen of it. It's a 100 trillion light years closer than that S.I.C. figure which looks like a demon, and that's all that matters to me. Die-cast city, people. We have arrived there. His articulation isn't quite to the new standard set by Liner Form, but that's to be expected. It's 3 years older, remember. He can't easily hold the King Rouser with both hands simultaneously, and he's lacking any kind of leg swivel. I'm willing to let this slide because he's basically in a suit of armor and you'd only see his foot moving, anyway in such a situation (right? I think I'm right). He's Joker-tight and just as visually stunning (though, he's on the opposite end of the reflectivity spectrum of course).

The cards have to be stickered, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It went so well I even went back and stickered the Den Liner passes. The cards can also be placed inside the King Rouser, as an unnecessary, but much appreciated, additional touch.

I honestly have no desire in my heart for a Figuart of this character. Despite being 3 years older than Liner Form (and slightly lacking in needed articulation), it overall stands equal to it, at the very least. I might very well like it--aesthetically--even more. If I fall in love with any of the other riders from Blade, I won't hesitate to grab their Souchaku Henshins (if they exist).

I am pretty sure that, when you have watched Blade in its entirety, you are going to be even more excited over the fact that you own King Form. ^__^

The cards look fantastic! And so does the King Rouzer. Sounds like he's a lot of fun to play with, too. ABSORB QUEEN, EVOLUTION KING! I love the shine on the armor too!

I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to Blade toys (aside from knowing the SICs are terrifying), but I have seen a Souchaku Henshin Garren, and he looks really good.

You're making me even more excited about my own SH!

Shadowmoon



Well worth the wait. ^^ He looks really fantastic. So happy they included a shot of him with Black!

Faiz Blasterform



Looks way better than the prototype did, imo! And those accessories! I already have my Faiz, so I won't be grabbing him, but I'm excited to see pictures.

Claydoll and Smilodon



Apparently Smilodon is a ZERO but Claydoll isn't? I'll edit this when I have proper scans. I want that Mick ; ;

New Medals and OOO Form spoilers



If any more pictures show up, I'll post those too!

TaJaDor! (OOO Form spoilers)

Shinkenger stuff! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS, so don't click if you plan on watching Shinkenger.



All of them will be exclusives, so I'm expecting some pretty incredible accessories.

Really nice looking Greeed statues



More Dragon Knight/Ryuki Figmas! Surprised at Blank Knight, these must be selling well. Psyched for my Femme. ^^



The success of Dragon Knight in Japan kind of makes me wonder if some Japanese company will produce another American adaptation so that they can do something like that again.

I'll edit as I see more stuff worth posting! There are a lot of other scans too, but I'm not sure what people here would be interested in. Here's my source (http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam) if people want to look for themselves!

And (this one is for everybody), Hobby Search has some good sales right now (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/1142/0/1)

OOO Trialru~

Nothing has changed, thankfully ^__^ Still just signed up for Shinken Green and TaJaDor.

S.I.C. Set has crayons and Kin and Ryuu coffee. Assholes.

You should see if someone will make you Kin and Ryuu coffee on Etsy Alchemy! If I ever get a Ura I am making a no flirting sign myself. ^___^

Only one I plan on buying out of that bunch is Shadow Moon. Easy to be excited about him when he's the only thing that will be hurting my wallet.

It's the February Tamashii Nation event that's going to make me cry. ; ;

Really excited for non-scan pictures of TaJaDor, it's hard to see his compound eyes there.

Haha, holy shit: Do Not Sell Customized Figures Online In Japan, They Will Lock You Up (http://kotaku.com/5738494/do-not-sell-modified-figures-in-japan-they-will-lock-you-up)

It looks gorgeous!

They shouldn't have arrested them, they should have hired them to make better looking SICs ; ;

A bunch of the scans I posted yesterday have been translated now. Shadow Moon and TaJaDor are non-exclusives, TaJaDor will be 3200 yen and comes out in May. Wonder if he'll come with any pre-order bonus stuff like some recent releases have had.

Shinken Blue and Green come out in June. They're actually the only ones confirmed to be exclusives, but I think it'd be strange if they were and the other figures weren't. Then again, it's weird that they're exclusive in the first place. Price listed is 3675 yen, which seems a bit strange since Shinken Red is a good bit cheaper. Same price as Shinken Gold, though.

Fans are now theorizing that the price is like that because they're going to be a 2-pack, but it seems more likely to me that they'll just come with a crazyton of accessories.

also, the TaJaDor scan says there's going to be more new OOO stuff at the Tamashii Nation Event next month. Guessing they mean Birth here, though we'll probably see more OOO forms too.

If TaJaDor doesn't come with wings, might have to just get the OCC ;)

Shinken Blue and Green two pack would amazing because then Joker would have another friend~

They'd better include glue strips if that's the case XD

The exclusive thing would be less out of left field that way too, I guess! Curiouser and curiouser~

I'd say that his non-exclusiveness made wings less likely, but Hyper Kabuto proves me wrong there! We should know whether he has them or not pretty soon. Bet AmiAmi will sell out of pre-orders on him fast. ; ;

So would the ladies be a two-pack, too? It'd make just as much sense story-wise as Ryuunosuke and Chiaki be bundled.

Oh man, to have Turtle and Monkey costumes to put on them ;;

People have been saying a guys pack and a ladies pack, but as far as I can tell they're only speculating. Costumes would be incredible. ; ; I want more accessories like Deneb's watermelon helmet!

Sazh is the best looking XIII figure, by a hundred million trillion miles.

Almost want to buy him and customize the guns into Deneb Duellers.

They're at Lake Bresha. You can buy everything in the stores anytime after you can find them, though. If you want to grab them while you're playing. Yeah, I am playing. Let life bring what it may.

People have been saying a guys pack and a ladies pack, but as far as I can tell they're only speculating. Costumes would be incredible. ; ; I want more accessories like Deneb's watermelon helmet!

Well, if it was an American product they'd pair boy/girl because toy companies for some reason think boys don't want to play with girls cuz of the cooties so they'd put a girl with a very cool lead male character so they can slip the females in. Though in this case I don't think that would come into play here.

I would have accepted shipping packs ;)

Mako/Takeru
Kotoha/Chiaki
Ryuunosuke/Genta

Plus it's not just America. Sentai weapons usually suffer the same fate. Heaven Fan and Land Slicer didn't get made (their discs came with Takeru's weapon). For Goseiger, the weapons combine into two different pieces and the girls weapons came packed in with either one or two of the guy's.

If they'd done a Takeru/Genta shipping pack I would've purchased it happily. ; ;

No female Kamen Riders have figuarts yet (Femme is a Figma), so I could see Bandai doing guy/girl packs separately for sure. People are assuming the guy pack girl pack thing because the two guys are confirmed to come out at the same time. It is strange they'd release them both at the same time if they were separate, the first two are being released a month apart.

I really like how Kivala looks, but Femme and Tackle are the only female riders (yes, I am calling Tackle a rider) I'd buy toys of right now. And since I've already bought Femme, it's all on you, Yuriko.

There is one other I would've wanted to buy if things had gone differently. ; ; But as is I'd be buying her for what could have been only.

ONORE DIKKEDOOO

MIGHTY MUGG LANDO ACQUIRED

Hey guys, here are some scans from a book on the Souchaku Henshin toyline. It doesn't have the toys from the very end of the line, but a good amount of stuff is here. It's pretty neat stuff!

SH Collectors Book pictures by Teh_Ndi - Photobucket (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v344/Teh_Ndi/SH%20Collectors%20Book/)

And, they appear to have less accessories than the non-exclusive Shinkengers, wtp, Bandai?

also, a new OOO 2-Pack is listed:

Those effect parts ; ;

The accessory count on the Shinkengers is pathetic.

Haha, GataToraBa (GaToBa?) will always make me laugh. It's mean of me, but hey, that's why Ankh did it, I imagine.

It makes me really mad (Shinkengers, not GataToraBa), because from what I can see Shinken Red and Gold have had strong pre-order sales. And I mean, they're just re-using a mold here, there's no excuse to cheap out on the figures like that. I feel like this is going to hurt the chances of future Sentai figuarts. :(

I don't like being angry with a company that makes such terrific toys ; ;

It really is bullshit.

After looking at that SH book, I definitely want the rest of the Ace forms ;;

Bandai has a toy photography contest going on right now, and I thought I'd share some of the submissions.

NO PICTURES ALLOWED

and yet...

I currently have what may be well over 200 toys for eBay sales, but most of them aren't listed yet, as they're all packed in boxes in my new apartment. If anyone's interested in a listing, I'd be thrilled to post it here (even if you don't care about buying), but be warned that most of them are targeted strictly at a preschool or early school age audience.

If you have any DC stuff or things from 80's and 90's cartoons, I'd be interested in seeing your listings!

Miniature stuff would be great too.

I'm afraid most of my items are much more recent, though I may have one or two items that are older. Several of the items are pretty miniature though. To give a general idea, the type of stuff we're talking about here includes Winnie the Pooh (and several other Disney characters), Franklin Turtle, Blue's Clues, Sesame Street, etc. But it's not to say it's all within that range - there's also Shrek cahracters, a Popple or two, and many other varied items.

Bandai has a toy photography contest going on right now, and I thought I'd share some of the submissions.

I love the one crawling out of the box.


No Doc. Last ep of Den-O spoilers.

I think it was genius, but I don't want to imagine doing such things to my boxes ;;

GAIA MEMORY VOL. 6!!!!!!!!!!



NEW OOO DOES TATOBA!!!!!!!!

I might have to buy this whole set. The W memories are much improved.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The exciting toy news just isn't stopping tonight. ^____^ And it looks so awesome too! Going to take it with me everywhere and play TaToBa all day!

Shippu and Kirifuda!!!!

HOLY GOD HOLY GOD HOLY GOD!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry Ankh-u ;; I have to get 12 new gaia memories. Can't go starting a medal collection.

Ankh would probably prefer to keep all the medals to himself, anyways. They are so hard to find because he's buying them all~

TaToBa

YouTube - DX Sound Capsule Gaia Memory Vol.6 from #1 to #5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBxNhMLw7ZQ#t=221)

It is fantastic. ; ; Are they out now? Might buy it tonight if they are.

They get activated Sunday at 10am. Japanese time, so 8ish PM saturday maybe or sth. Been a while since I've done the math. I'm going to have to camp to get Shippu and Kirifuda, I'm sure.

CS Toys has an Accel Figuarts in stock, too. I'll try and get him and TaToBa then.

Oh lord. Shippu and Kirifuda are rare ones. Have to buy a complete set. Goodbye $100 something dollars.

Only activating 1 set. Ugh. This doesn't look good, suddenly.

Alright, fine. I'll just shoot for Metal, Trigger, Climax, and Sieg.

Horrible sounds on those last 4.

They're customs by the way.

Those are really cute! Did they do any more?

And they will probably be impossible to find no matter how bad the sounds are ; ;

Only ones that were posted. Jump on the Galactic Heroes bandwagon Nintendo! So far Star wars, Marvel, DC, G.I. Joe, Evangelion, Hellboy, Dragonball Z, Dr. Who, & even Wrastlin' have made these dudes.

I don't know why making things tiny always seems to make them look so awesome, but it does~ I love the little Brave and the Bold figures.

Marcy, when are they gonna make Music Meister toys?
