Without the stand OOO starts leaning forward on his feet till he falls. My Agito has this problem too but I just use the stand.

Then think about what came out in those gaps, particularly heavy in the spring. The exclusive Arms Change sets, plenty of Figuarts, and the Gaim Blurays. The Jam lockseed definitely wasn't as important as those.
Now that the Gaidens are done it's a great time for some more merch. There's the one last lockseed and the fruit itself, there's the promise of the mask collection, there's the RAH, and then there's a ton of final Figuarts prototypes to maybe make.

I'm currently using a couple of Black Series Stormtroopers as my stock villains for the rest of my toy collection. As much as I think they are very expressive, they aren't the best articulated figures in the world and I'd like to replace them with some Figuarts. What Toku would anons recommend to buy 2-4 of as generic enemy footsoldiers? Need to be reasonably priced (maybe 3000-4000Y) as I need to buy multiple, being fairly expressive (although that isn't generally a problem with Bugmen and the like), be readily available on sites like Amiami or Mandarake and if possible have a decent range of hands and a weapon. A lot to ask I know but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If I used the DoorGun I'd have to paint the wrist guards black on the pair of hands for Type Speed.

So I' look into what Ishinomori hero the current Rider shows derive their designs from. I'm pretty sure Drive was from Zubat. I'm thinking this year it is Inazuman? Because Specter is pretty moth-like, and has that lightning zig zag pattern. 2nd Rider counts because Baron was totally Arashi.

How does it feel knowing that there's less and less bugman stuff because the japs are losing interest in favour of superior american media like star wars and marvel?

>>5279429 Actually it's because they're literally running out of new Bugmen to release and because the line as a whole is diversifying with new anime and live action licenses.

This idea of the post-Decade Riders following a pattern of having design elements paying homage to old non-Rider Ishinomori Heroes really unheard of? It's more than a coincidence. You never stop to think why certain Riders are designed that way? I don't have a "100 secrets of Kamen Riders" type of books saying it is so, but to a point it is something they are doing intentionally. Like I said it is very loose, only at this level. Some I have not confirmed (well as much as I could)

Calling most of it coincidental and not intentional seems pretty crazy and ignorant...
My thinking was they were going to keep this up with the 10 riders after Decade. But yes is is possible they dropped the tradition, like after Fourze.
I really want to emphasize, it is just for some design elements of the riders, mainly the head

That issue is even more pronounced when you have it next to SHFSS and current SHF. Like I got him AFTER acquiring some SHFSS and Drive SHF. When getting Blade after getting used to those, it certainly felt weird to look at it.
You might end up having to wait a while for it to come out though unless Tamashii Nations starts focusing on the lines production so that releases come out sooner.

I'm working on some custom Gurongi/Lords for my Figuarts Kuuga/Agito and I need to know if there is some type of flexible Material that I can use for straps, certain body armor, and etc. What's the best way to paint the compound(Clear Plastic) eyes and change the color, but still keeping the transparent effect? (If Possible) Does Amazon have a Hobby cloth I can use for loincloths/Capes/etc? For the Rhino Gurongi, should I go for a show accurate appearance or a stylized approach? My goals so far are:>Intimation Drive (Done, just needs sanding/Painting/Pics) >Zu-Zain-Da(Rhino Gurongi) >Red Shadow Moon >"Blue" Kuuga(Kabuto Beetle/based off fan pic) >Great Leader (Original and KR: Ghost Version) >JUDO (Decade Version)

Just got in Ultraman Zero, my first Ultra-Act and holy shit. I always heard that Ultra-Acts were taller and bigger than Figuarts but it didn't really click with me until I had one in hand. This thing is gigantic, nice and heavy too. Even the Double Flasher effect part is bigger than I thought it would be. The shoulders are a little weird though, they can be kinda stiff one second but they seem to slip really easily into a lower, looser position. Any shortcomings for it though I think are made up by the sheer fucking amount of accessories and effect parts he comes with though.
