So anyone still remember these guys?

[SCANS] Souchaku Henshin Series Guide Book

*goes through some of the pages*

...I only DLed this for the Ryuki monsters and the bikes. lol

 

[antisomber]

I know the Mitsuwa you're talking about. I saw it there last week. That store's prices (not Mitsuwa, but the toy store next to the book store) are INCREDIBLY over priced. Don't by it from them. I've seen that set for a lot cheaper.

Seriously, 20 bucks for a sofubi? 140 for Castle Doran?!

I know what you're talking about, but...the BeatChaser 2000 Gouram was listed under Half Price, IIRC. Honestly, you can't find it anywhere anymore.

Well, if you can't find it elsewhere and you're ok with the price then I'd say go for it! It's been there forever, so I doubt anyone will snatch it up. Personally, I've had my eye on those Akumaizer-3 Sofubi, and they NEVER go down in price. Someday I might crack and buy them, despite the 16 dollar price tag ;3;

@zanki

plastic feet lose the ankle joint, making it harder to pose a figure with the feet apart ( Hyper kabuto's hyper shooting pose comes to mind :disappoin)

Plastic feet don't cause poor balance. Poor design, where it doesn't accommodate for plastic feet and ankles, is the issue. Ultra-Act has never used diecast, but the ankle design on their figures, especially Baltan, is superb. They're even more articulate than the ankles of any SHF I've seen.

In the first promo shots of OOO's Tatoba he originally had the diecast feet with the ankle joint in the first pics of him. Now in the new photos he has plastic ball jointed feet. So I wouldnt be surprised if once Garo gets closer to the release date we'll see the same change.

Unlike OOO, where the product page never listed him as including diecast, only the assumption the feet were based on the old pics and Tamashii event appearances, Garo's page still includes zinc as part of his materials. With his very high retail cost, I don't see that changing.

And again: I've never had a real issue on balancing my Figuarts or any of my toys that DO use plastic in their feet.

Mmmm...I dunno if they have an SH Kiva. Probably not; I hardly see Kiva figs when I go into that store. I DID luck out years ago when I bought Final Form Rides. lol

The store is at Edgewaters. A bit past Bridgewater (or Edgewater IIRC...) Commons (with the Barnes and Noble, Target, Outback, and McDonalds) with NYC on your right side. If you go there any time soon, can you check the price for that BeatChaser 2000?
