SIC Drive arrived. Hands were awkward to put on and one of the leg pipes pops off whenever I try to put him in certain poses, but the figure is fantastic. The Max Flare tire being a yellow/gold colour really helps too.

So why did Sentai figuarts die anyway? Were people just not buying them?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>6107002 It was mostly because the Sentai-only fans weren't willing to buy them on release and instead decided to try and wait for them to be on sale or something, which means that as fair as bandai could actually tell numbers wise there was little to no interest in them.
Not even the local market really scrambled to pick up the Sentai releases the same way that Kamen Rider ones are.
Keep in mind that this was a few years ago and Sentai still had a kid-level action figure toyline as well, unlike now where we don't even have that.
>no figure of glorious Zyuoh-Whale >no figures of Beet Buster and Stag Buster Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>6107002 Bandai were handling the line poorly by not putting out full teams. Then add that Japs waited for them to go on sale rather than buy them when they came out so they weren't profitable after a while and then add that Americans only care about MMPR nostalgia bait, and you have a whole heap of shelfwarming figures barely anyone is buying.

Why the FUCK does Amazon Omega come with the combat knife he NEVER used and NOT the sickle weapon that he uses more than any other Battler Grip weapon in season 1? I know the sickle comes with the Junglaider, but it should have been the other way around. I'm so salty.
Anonymous
>>6107166 I think the knife was, in pre-production, meant to be his main weapon so it's similar to Amazon Prime, but when they actually did the show they went with the scythe instead.
Maybe they planned the Figuarts around the pre-production notes. Or maybe it's a ploy to sell Jungraider, i dunno.

there is lot of people who bought him always had a problem with his hand snapped when trying to change it. Mine is still okay even after I swapped it many times (though I do remember the tension I felt when popping it from the balljoints at the first time), if you safely remove his hands from the balljoints in the first time I suggest you sand the balljoits a little so it will be more smoother when you want to change his hands.
also, there's a problem with paint chipping. the silver paints on his body is prone to chipping especially when you attach Thunder Gridman (Synchro) and King Gridman (Phormo) armor.
not really recommended, especially when his price is skyrocketted now.

You see, the statement infers that up to this point, being the "now" from the statement, there have been a total of 2 bike transformation riders.
If there had been 2 BEFORE Lazer, the statement would be different, now wouldn't it?
Because up to "now" there would have to be THREE total bike transformation Riders.

They have multiple disclaimers on the site telling you that they're not responsible if your item is damaged and to order at your own risk. In my experience the only way they'll actually help you is if they send you the wrong order.

Well at the very least they're doing the strawberry and pineapple arms to replace it.

>>6119052 As for the red, I'm having trouble finding a specific reason why. Starting at about 10 episodes in, the red chest is something he will transform into but it doesn't seem to be a power up like the original riders or skyrider. These days though the suit is a more standard version of the original orange gradient color.
Ignore how garbage this is, I haven't seen the show so no proper screencaps to use.

>>6119226 Geez, there are a lot of good ones to recommend.
Fourze is a great place to start. W is another good one. Drive is a little bit odd and takes a little while to get into gear, but it ends satisfyingly. Gaim is a weird series that is pretty cool (it's written by Gen Urobuchi, who also wrote Magica Madoka, so there are a ton of similarities between the two works), worth watching but also a far bit different than most usual KR series. The current series, Ex-Aid, has been enjoyable so far, kind of a cross between Drive and Gaim. Amazon and Amazons are both great. The original is absolutely worth checking out, but last I checked only the first 40 or so eps have been subbed. My personal favorites are Black and Kuuga.
Honestly, the suggestion to base it off a costume isn't a joke.
The only series really to avoid is Wizard, Ghost, Kiva, and Decade. Wizard's plot stalls around ep 10 and never goes anywhere (but it does have good fight scenes). Kiva has a cool costume but other than that I couldn't like it. Decade isn't terrible, but since the gimmick is revisiting alternate versions of the previous series, it's probably better to just watch the original versions that base anything on alternate universes. Ghost is absolutely the worst.
Anonymous
>>6119226 It's usually a /m/ thing.
Anyway, I would recommend the movies. Like Sharivan: New generation or the ultra Galaxy somethingsomethingmovie.
Personally I loved Den-O back in the day and Amazons is great if you want something a bit more serious/edgy.

On the subject of the thread, I collect WCF (which I'm still not certain are okay to discuss here) and this Stronger figure is my first from the Kamen Rider line. I'm thinking of getting one of the Stronger [Charge Up] ones and a Fourze (once I decide which I like best).

Then the second half came where daddy became a whiny bitch all of a sudden and only then did they bother with Wataru. It was too little too late.

The Kikaider and Hakaider that came after these were horrible too, sculpt wise. Did everyone else forget how good the Kikaider 01 + bike set by Takeya was on both sculpt and articulation and set value as well?

It seems as with the p-bandai legend rider set they got lazy and didn't bother putting the actual gamer rider forms onto the gashats clear part, and instead just pasted the rider onto it.
Which sucks complete ass since I wanted to see the forms sooner rather than later. Ontop of that, the legend rider gashats are going to be inconsistent now due to Ghost and Ichigou actually having the forms on them and not the rider.
