    See, I'm not finding that wording clear. That's why I asked. They make a distinction between paying in full with paypal, then say there is a charge with credit card. I've seen wording like that on other sites where they end up only charging a deposit. Figured I'd ask about people's personal experience to be sure

    Sadly i've never bought anything from these guys, but by the poor choice of words, maybe it's safe to assume that they do charge up-front. You could also email them for clarification.

    Yeah, based on the obviously-not-English-as-a-first-language writing, it seems like CC pays up front, and Paypal pays a deposit.

    EDIT: Also I agree, Saber does little for me. I guess after Zero One, whom I loved at first sight, it was to be expected. Yet I don't like how we're back to old habits of clunky, over-detailed rider suits, OR ugly asymmetric half/half designs. It just feels like too much going on. The helmet is pretty ugly, with the eyes fading into tacky flame shapes on one side and teh big X which feels competing against the large blade-horn.

    I think Kamen Rider Saber looks decent. Most of the Riders since Blade took me a minute to get used to anyway. Even the ones that I thought looked ridiculous at first ended up looking pretty good once I have their Figuarts in hand. I don't hate Saber's design off the bat, so I guess that's good.

    I think that’s part of it, after zero one, I was kinda expecting something more refined rather than something that looks like fan art. I guess zero one just raised my expectations really high for the reiwa suits

    Oh shit it really does look like fan art.

    The more I look at it the more I hate it. :lol  The sword on the helmet is ugly and detailed on the side and doesn't even line up with the edge on the mouth piece. The left eye has that weird... shape at the bottom that make i look like he has a frozen eye twitch. The more I scrutinize it the less I like it.

    Yeah. Aside from Metal Cluster Hopper I didn't find a single one of Zero One's forms bad. Zero Two looks more like a base form than Saber's base form does.

    Definitely. that shape on the left eye is one of those things that I can’t not see once I noticed it.

    Then there’s the silly dragon head on his shoulder that looks like something out of digimon.

    Kinda feels like they ran out of ideas for this one and just reached into a hat of previous ideas.

    If the show’s good, maybe people will get used to the design. Ex aid had the worst designs ever, but people liked it. Now people can’t imagine what other design ex aid would’ve used.

    It's being written by the guy who did Ghost and directed by the dude who did Kyuuranger. The show is double fucked.

    God damn the blades on the helmets look stupid. Horns on helmets work, just not these ones.

    They look even worst in motion. T_T

    If all the details weren't so oversized and protruding I don't think it's be that bad. Reduce the blade on the head to a crest, make the armour more form-fitting, tone down the... shit on the visor so it's more like a chevron without the tacky fake flame.

    It feels like a suit that never left the rough draft.

    I think it looks fine. Not the greatest, but to me it doesn't look outright bad like some of the other ones. Eventually they all look OK to me anyway.

    It kind of look like they just combined some stuff from Ryuki and Blade and superimposed them onto Ryusoulger for these Riders, so it doesn't feel that original to me.

    This design isn't going to be Figuarts friendly though. The stuff on the helmet will be easy to break (although that seems to be a trend the last few years), and I don't like that he has some skirt stuff going on. Those are always bad news for action figures.

    EDIT: Hopefully since the base rider's weapon is right on his belt, we will finally get a friggin weapon with the base form Figuarts again.

    I'm not big on designs as I find them to be too busy and I liked how Zero-One was more simplistic, but we just had a show that had 5 riders in it. They need to chill the freak out on having a ton of riders or just start calling the series Kamen Sentai Rideger/Riderman. I'm also tired of having all of the villains be evil riders. I want a nice simple terrorist organization again.

    Yeah, seems like they want to combine Sentai with Kamen Rider. I'd love another cyborg Kamen Rider like the Showa days.
