The S.H.Figuarts Thread's Sixth Ranger

[Kamen Rider ShinkenRed]

Well I've pre-ordered all of the Akibaranger related Figuarts, now waiting for Kibaranger to appear for pre-order.
On the fence a little about Sharivan and Shaider, they're both cool to me but I haven't seen enough from them to have an opinion yet. I'm honestly half-tempted to get them twice so I can have both Space Sheriff trios, but I didn't manage to pre-order Gavan. I'll probably just order Sharivan to begin with.

Sharivan looks kinda odd in those photos.

Can't wait until the rangers can be picked up in stores, but I can't decide; should I get the ones with the original packaging, the ones with the power rangers packaging, or the "Akibaranger" versions with the red, white, and blue belts/necks (pretty sure that only the power rangers version can be picked up in stores, but the other two are still very tempting)?

Also, anyone know if the D-Arts Pokemon are any good. I've had my eye on the Charizard ever since it was announced, but don't know whether its a must buy or not.

I was going with the Bluefin releases, not necessarily for the Power Rangers packaging, but just because it was the easiest method of obtaining them. Now with the yen the way it is, I cancelled my Amazon order and preordered through Amiami. Before shipping, it puts them at only 25 dollars a piece, and I have other items already preordered for June and July, so this was easily the best deal for the figures.

As for those Space Sheriffs, I must fight the need for plastic crack. God, I want that Shaider so bad, but I know if I buy him I'm going to have to collect them all, which means playing catch up on Gavan. I think I can resist the urge to get Type G, at least.

I don't usually buy figuarts, but I understood that almost all releases sell out pretty quickly, especially on amiami. Is there a reason why the Zyuranger ones are still available? I figured they would be gone a long time ago.

Most likely people already preordered the Power Rangers versions. Cant say the same about Ryu Ranger though. Im not sure. Its weird. I was wondering the same thing about Ultra-act Ultraman Taro when his preorder was up. He was the most anticipated Ultra brother and he sold out everywhere instantly everywhere else except for amiami. So im guessing amiami has started to allow more preorders on their items since they use to sell out so fast? I dunno...:hmm:

Almost every Sentai related Figuarts tends to sell out rather slowly, or not even sell out at all, and to go clearance after awhile.

With Zyuranger I was especially surprised, considering Power Rangers' popularity here in the U.S. I'm going to assume it's a combination of already having preorders elsewhere, and possibly a larger than usual production run due to the expected extra surge in sales these figures would provide.

Either way, I'm not complaining. I missed preorders last night, but this morning managed to get in orders for Dragon Ranger and Tyranno Ranger.

Can someone explain to me why there don't seem to be any Kibaranger pre-orders?
