Arigato,Dr Kain. Though,my brother still wanted to wait for that KR Blade Special they were hinting and was waiting for his fave Rider - Garren to finally get his King form. It never did. X_X Something about Blade was REALLY wanting an adaptation. I can see why the Wang Brothers and Adness Entertainment wanted to adapt the series to begin with. It's just that good. Also,lots of good battle songs like 'Kakusei' and 'Take it a try'.
I have a ton of these guys still, I don’t think their hands ever loosened up too much. Shouldn’t be too hard to tighten them up with future or something if they aren’t perfectly tight though.
If you are still on the fence, you should check out my review of it on my channel. I do know Blade is a love it or hate it type of show. All of my friends loved it (though one is forever scared from the name Tachibana), but another reviewer, Shinta, absolutely hated the show. I guess there were also some people in Japan who couldn't follow the dialog at times due to how realistic the actors were speaking as opposed to the theatrical way of dialect.
Holy crap, SS Figuarts go for mad money on Mandarake. They're expensive to start, but some of them hit triple digits. I really hope the Figure-rise KR models take off following Kuuga. There's a lot of Riders I want but don't necessarily need or want to shell out SHF prices.
Also,what?! I didn't know the dialogue was going to be like real and stuff? I thought most Kamen Rider shows follow the Kabuki style of acting through body posture and stuff like that. Then again,I guess Sho Aikawa wanted to make the world believable as if undead monsters really existed in our world. It's like 'More than meets the eye',eh? SH Figs are quite the popular guys. These Figure-rise models are pretty good,yo.
Shodo Ryuki figures are looking good: 香港人◎玩具 on Instagram: “JW_Show Your biggest enemy....is yourself. - JW_Show “HA-HA-HA-HA....” - #Bandai #CandyToy #盒玩 #盒蛋 #食玩 #Shokugan #掌動 #Shodo…”
Ah yes my second favourite source of comfort besides Transformers (obviously) - Watching grown men in bug suits kicking other grown men in monster suits' asses! I should really get back on track with KRs. My last shows were a 5-6th rewatch of Ryuki and an unfinished Agito run. I just don't have time to watch the newer shows thanks to school. If only... I also have a collection of SHFs and RHS figures. I stopped collecting SHFs for TFs but I still collect RHS occasionally when I see them. Despite having articulation and paint that would make a Cyberverse toy weep, at least they're worth the value of their prices. I once got an original 2001 Agito at a hobby shop in Akihabara for about 300-400 yen. There was also an Odin or Verde and a golden and silver Blade King Form, both also around that price. Besides Ichigo, Shadow Moon, and a couple final forms and secondary Riders (Kusaka...), I've gotten all 20 main Heisei Riders except Build and Blade. Agito joined me 2-3 years after I began collecting RHS while Build and Blade I can't find anywhere for the life of me. Even online. For that matter were there even RHS figures of Blade and Build in their standard forms?
I really want in on the Shodo line but I just dipped into the SO-DO figures. Shodos are better toys but SO-DO's remind me of the Motion Revive line mixed with Minipla. Those Ryuki ones might make me break, though.
I've recently finished watching Agito and man,was it such a good show. Still haven't finished the movie though. Also,I got a CD which has an Eng. dub of Project G4.
No. Alright, I’m just messin with you guys it’s just that.... I get Vietnam flashbacks of me and my brother.....
So I heard Spoiler in the Ryuki movie last year, everyone regained their memories but Knight ended up dying . Speaking of which, I should've bought more Ryuki rider Figuarts when I had the chance. They were affordable.
Spoiler The rider time Ryuki basically ended with the rider war seemingly ending for good this time, but it came at the cost at most of the riders also dying for good. Still, Shinji looks ahead without the burden of being a rider. Eh, I’d wait and see if they’ll make shin....Sinkoccu.....Renewals :/ of them.
I've wondered if Bandai would even bother, the Ryuki figures have aged well, they had the more straightforward hip/thigh swivels that weren't used much on other riders until later
They probably would since they love money and people have been complaining about scaling issues when Ryuki is next to newer figuarts.
