[TALK] S.H. Figuarts Thread: The Next

[Kazuma]

Glaive, it's possible Kazuma pre-orders haven't been doing well, so they shifted him to an exclusive status. Just a guess though. They're probably just asses. lol

Looks like it's not till this weekend, so I'll hold off on making the V3 thread until Friday or Saturday unless someone beats me to the punch.

Also, I haven't seen any news on PreCure releases outside of the already announced ones.

Hmm true...... sorry about the rant, but the pre-orders for Shinken red / gold were amazing, well for bandai and shops anyways, but they still decided to release blue and green as web exclusives, now I"m really hoping they release at least pink and yellow in a 2 pack normal release, like the W-2 packs from last year.

They shoulda have done a movie release like EVA and kinda reboot the franchise, like another 2-4 new movies to stir up ppl's memories of what Scryed was and how much better it can be..... so sad that not many ppl know about this series.....

As for Precures, I"ve actually been looking into it a bit.... I know they haven't made the Blond girl yet from the original Precure series, and they haven't made the evil versions of the GO-GO-5 one..... which I would love to get my hands on since I"m a sucker for any alt. or evil versions of main characters >.<

I remember seeing photos of the 4 Fresh Cures with wings somewhere, but I Haven't heard of any of their releases..... only the main character Peach has an upgraded dress, everyone else was the same with just wings inserted, so I thought it was an accessory add-on like how the 6th ranger.... I mean member for the go-go-5 cure season's figure to have extra stuff for the original 5.

And we're also missing Cure Sunshine and Moonlight, which look like men (or just bishonen imo) one after and one b4 they henshin..... whcih I will most likely ignore. Other than that I'm still hunting for an Eas..... whcih will def. break my wallet :bawling:

Yeah I think it is because the preorders for Kazuma weren't doing too well. Usually the preorders would stop by now but it's silll open. Straight Cougar is on my list to get regardless if it's an exclusive. So how long will this batch of preorders be open for? 2 months?

True, but like we talked about sometime earlier in this thread, it's proven fact that merchandise that isn't Red or "Sixth" won't really sell. Red is usually the most popular SHS figure until the "Sixth" comes along. It's also why all the DX Ranger Keys we're getting outside of the main GoKaiger are probably going to be Red. Same thing can be said about PR here.

As for Scryed itself, I agree. I remember watching some of this series...6-8 Years ago maybe. The fact that Kazuma ranked so high in the poll and got a figure was surprising to me. I think he'd be doing better if Scryed had a second release, like the Eva movies or DBKai. As it stands, I think the only people buying him are old fans of the show, unlike DBKai that got attention from the kids introduced into the franchise from Kai.

I'm glad that at least I'll have some time to think over buying Shinken Blue or not. I've ordered Red, but Blue seems just way too pricey for me right now...I thought Joker was expensive enough for its simplicity, but Bandai surprises me once again.

That said, I do like Shiken Blue's Water Arrow. That handle looks thin enough to be actually holdable. And I'll buy at least one female Shinkenger since I like the skirt gimmick. I just hope they don't have any joint problems. I just got a Fang Joker and 1) I can't change its hands. Not one of them will fit. 2) I dare not move its left leg. It's so tight that I'm afraid it's gonna break. The other leg's pretty lose and falls off...any remedies for my problems, guys?
