S.H.Figuarts - News and Reviews

[KamenRiderBritannia]

I know it won't. but it should. The whole figure is dis-proportioned and falls apart easily. It was a terrible figure, and looks awful standing with the other Riders that came out this year. The Dragon Styles and Infinity were much better, but that isn't the core style. The Cheaper figure had better proportions than the Figuart!

None if mine fall apart easy! The lines quite sturdy in fact!

Wizard does look weird since he has no neck and the upper torso is a bit short. The solid chunky robe doesn't help either.

Heres how you can fix the proportions with some blu-tack...

It definitely looks better with that simple mod. But the head is still way too big compared to the body.

 

[Dark Kabuto]

The only issue mine has is the fact that the Driver falls off at the drop of a hat.

I think OOO does not need a new figure since it's still a great figure. W is still great despite his memories are not colored for some reason. We still need figures of Shin, ZO, J, Hibiki and Kiva's base form.

I'm hoping that the older Sentai shows get figuarts. Since the Abarangers are going to be in Kyoryuger vs. Go-Buster then I hope we will get some Abarangers Figuarts for once. I really want a S.H Figuart of AbareKiller since he's my favorite White Ranger.

Kabuto Renewal is over 5000 yen. Thats like over the Ryuki figures and they had Contract Beasts.

They better have a ton of effect parts or something to justify that price.

- The only way I'd see them justify this? Is if they have WORKING Masked Form Kabuto parts included in this set. Yes, that Masked Form Kabuto they've hinted at years back but never got around to making had better be either part of this as a set or as a working set of parts for the figure (like a swappable head).

Kabuto riders make up the majority of myFiguarts collection (Kabuto, Sasword, Gatack, Punch and Kickhopper, and Caucasus), and while I'd love to have the renewal version of Kabuto, the price is kind of off-putting. I still haven't gotten around to reserving the rerelease of Blade, so if the new Kabuto doesn't seem worth the asking price I may just pass on it.

 

[Dark Kabuto]

Effect and Masked parts would definitely justify the added cost although we probably wouldn've heard something about effect parts in the photos by now…

On a lighter note…Ptera Ranger/Pink Ranger is out:

I'm glad that she has a hand moulded specifically so she can use the bow weapon. I can't wait to get this one.

She looks great but I'm a bit baffled/disappointed they didn't include the sword or gun form of the Ranger Stick for her. I figured those would be standard on all the Zyurangers sans Dragonranger...

 

[Amon]

I think the only thing I would change on the W figuart is the belt. I wish the memory sticks were color and they could made them removable similar to the SIC figure.

Yeah, I don't get it either. If anything, I would have rathered she (and the others coming soon) came with the gun form of the Ranger Stick instead of the Ranger Slinger. It just doesn't make sense why they would give them an accessory to a weapon they used in 3 episodes of the entire series compared to one they used in 44 episodes.

I wish they would hurry up and give us release dates for the rest of Jetman and DaiRanger!!!!!!!!

 

[Clocktower]

I could be wrong, I haven't watched Zyuranger in a while, but didn't the thunder slinger basically just replace the standard ranger gun? I don't remember them using anything but the slinger after it was introduced. Either way, they definitely should have still included the blade mode, but I can see why they didn't.

As for Kabuto, we've already seen everything he comes with and it's nothing the original version didn't have. The only bonus he comes with is a Figuarts pamphlet, which hopefully isn't how they're justifying the 2000 yen price hike.
