S.H.Figuarts - News and Reviews

am i the only one that sees all this star wars stuff and thinks "so what?"

Nope, you're not alone. It's so what, and then WHOA, lookit the price.

Ultron has been announced - Tamashii Shop exclusive. So with middleman fees, shipping, I'm looking at $100 for the one figure.

The money never bothered me this much before in the past, probably because the CDN dollar was better then and I had more room in my house.

I'm sad about the SW stuff. That means less focus on Kamen Rider, which is already dwindling here.

As someone who wanted to collect some Star Wars items in the past but couldn't get past Hasbro's stupid 4inch toys and lack of articulation, I am into this line. Granted, I have the two figures that truly matter (Vader and RotJ Luke), but I am excited to get some of the other OT characters and Kylo Ren.

To be fair, Kamen Rider IS dwindling. All they have left for the important riders are Kiva and J. Obviously Ghost once the show kicks off, but even the new shows seem to be losing steam in the line. Too many web exclusives and not enough on finishing the other forms like Wild Ace Chalice. Hell, I regret buying all of the OOO, W, and Fourze forms I did. I should have stuck to what I was going to do initially in 2012 (except for Blade), main rider forms only and the important secondary riders. But nope, I let impulse buys get the best of me.

Of course, I do still need the bikes to each rider, but that is a different story.

BTW, is it just me, or does Mandarake not seem to be carrying newly released items lately? I have yet to see any of the B-Fighters except Beet Blue, no Drive stuff, or even Star Wars figuarts on there at all.

Yeah, that's a good point. They have covered most of the back catalog, but I guess I'm just worried about the correlation between viewership and production. They're still producing some special things, but again, right, it's mostly online-only. I'm excited for the damaged Garren, but they should do the other stronger forms. There's still quite a lot of movie riders and such that have nothing, and should. I guess the great hope now is the Rebirth series or whatever that's called. Too bad they're so friggin' expensive. Also: can we just get some Kabuto figures with proper removable Masked Forms!? No, probably not.

As far as Gaim figures are concerned, we have Sigurd coming out in October and Knuckle for November, but is that all for the Gaim line? I can't think of anyone major we missed but it'd be nice to get other characters in, like Kurokage Troopers, Gaim Ichigo Arms, Ryugen Kiwi Arms, (gaim spoilers below) [HIDE]The Overlords, and Lord Baron[/HIDE]
