hopefully nin-nin is good for their preorders because work made me miss the rider pre orders (not like i was gonna get them anyway with how fast orders close)

>>11443953
They are, I've never had an issue with them not having an item that I preordered and I've been shopping there since 2021. Only issue I do have is sometimes they miscalculate shipping and ask you to pay a little more but that's mainly for belts and stuff.

When the fuck did HLJ put the gozyuger polar items up? Sold out is bullshit. Never showed up the whole last week.

>>11444173
They fucked me on a preorder once but it was for an exclusive. Regular releases I wouldn’t worry about.

dead line
dead general
OP is a tranny faggot

>>11445187
holy shit

>>11445187
fugggggg

>>11445187
Absolutely beautiful.

>>11445187
People used to make fun of this design for being so lazy. What changed?

>>11446090
They got older.

>>11446090
It's still a shit design. I hated it 2 decades ago and I still hate it now.

>>11446090
Because what we get now is so much worse.

>>11443953
>>11444173
Only thing that irks me about Nin Nin is that my bank always tries to flag them for fraud. Never had any issues with them otherwise. They were even nice enough to upgrade one of my orders to DHL for free during covid.

>>11445010
what the hell is your problem, are you 12?

Managed to pre-order SS Nigo and a Cyclone. Excited to have a fig of Hayato "I don't do women" Ichimonji

>>11447688
Why not 1gou? If you had one already, your new 2gou won't match it cause it has a fabric scarf.

>>11447943
the upcoming ichigo and nigo come with replacement scarves like how fuuto tantei W came with both soft and plastic scarves

>>11447943
Picking only 1 between the two at this time. I like Hayato a lot and I kinda have a prize figure statue of Hongo for now. There's rarely merch of Nigou available from what I notice.

I heard Gatack Hyper form SHFSS sold out in 2 minutes because of the limit order of 6. Did any preorder sites even manage to sell any? I don't think it ever went up at hobby-genki or nin-nin.

>>11449035
It's fucking crazy how quickly these toku figuarts sell out.
These sites really need to crack down on bots.

>>11449217
Hot and cool.

what's with the things sticking out behind their legs?

>>11450022
No idea, this is also probably the last year of Yu-Do Those 6 inch action heroes are selling incredibly well. While this will be the only Yu-Do set this year.

>>11450040
how are the action heroes? they look fun if a little on the cheap side, and still haven't announced gozyu eagle or unicorn

>>11450022
A better image of all six figures as one set. By the way, the extra bars sticking out of their limbs are safety nubs, similar to the ones seen in v-fins of High Grade Gunpla.

>>11450040
Hmm... I don't know about that... We still don't have Ring Hunter Garyudo and the upgrade forms. They would still consider adding them somehow as a second set, even as P-Bandai. And when I heard there will be a set for Gozyu Eagle and Unicorn's Action Hero figures, I am damn sure it's P-Bandai. Now where's my Oni Sister Robotaro with this figure style, let alone Don Robotaro, Bandai China...

>>11450105
safety nubs? how exactly do they contribute to safety?

but dang can these figures hit some poses

>>11450109
It's supposed to prevent kids from choking (not sure how, maybe the tab prevents it from going entirely down the throat), that's why there's holes in the back of the legs too so if it gets stuck in their throat they can still get some form of air.

>>11450345
The tabs make them look less round like candy, supposedly.

>>11450105
I'll wait for the blokees... They are chibi but you get the full team easily by buying the full wave.

>>11450124
AAAAAAAA I've been waiting forever for this. Anyone able to access P-Bandai and could give me a link to the order page please? VPN isn't getting me in at all lately. The B-Commander is easily one of the best quality releases P-Bandai has done. Really hope they handle this just as good as it.

>>11450863
It'll probably be up on Nin Nin Game.

>>11450088
Fun, they just need more accessories like the geats figures. The universe reds annoy me not having the gozyuger belt and silver tega though.

Whos the fastest at shipping nowadays?
Tokullectibles favors east coast and influencers overall shit
HLJ is hit or miss
Plaza Japan is normally on the ball
Nin-Nin is hit or miss
Yoyakunow is a tad slower
BBTS is crapshoot
Hobby Genki is again YMMV
Ami-Ami tends to be fast but again you’re paying more.
ImageAnime is so so
CDjapan is pretty much the same.

For me, it's Ohranger.

>>11451036
For me it'd be HLJ for regular release stuff and Nin-nin/Hobby Genki for P-Bandai, with Genki being the most reliable of the two in terms of quickness. Okini Land took forever to send me my Majade Figuarts, to the extent it arrived around the same time Valvarad did and the box was all fucked up. BBTS, Image, and Tokullectibles are what I consider the scalper trio because you will rarely ever encounter a good price there and in Tokullectibles case they seem to take forever for stuff to get shipped to them from Japan/China. Ami-ami is good for buying older toys, I feel they tend to be too strict with their preorder policies and I had worse luck with them before switching to HLJ. CDJapan I've only bought Toku books from but I've had no complaints, pretty good service. Hobbysearch might be the worst I've experienced, the shipping price tends to be more than whatever your buying.

>>11452822
Fugg. I was kind of on the fence, but now I'm going to have to jump on the preorder.

>>11452835
>Interchangeable parts so you can drum away without scratching the paint

That's so awesome. I wish I were a bigger Hibiki fan to justify getting this.

>>11452896
They placed the electronics on the drumsticks as well, from lights on the oni heads to motion sensors to show you can pull off the beats like in the show without using an extremely small drum to strike at. Proper posture and flow of your strikes allow you to pull it off like the taiko drummer in you.

>>11452835
>no voice lines
I’ll pass

How is this schizo STILL not banned yet?

>>11451036
There's a lot of shops. I had never heard of Plaza Japan actually
They seem not bad
I personally get almost all DX stuff on HLJ or Hobby Genki
Toku if I'm absolutely desperate
Only for things I can't get anywhere else

>>11454016
What schizo?

>>11454013
Come on, anon. You should know better. Hosokawa's never going to apologize, and they'll never allow Takatera to deliver the head of the director Hosokawa argued with on a platter.

Will we get 3.0 double riders anytime soon?

>>11454323
They just reissued the SS ver with soft goods scarves, so no.

>>11454323
>3.0
Here you go.

They look so good.

>>11454161
>Hosokawa's never going to apologize
That isn't an issue anymore. He returned for one of the video games years ago.

>>11454161
he still posts hibiki shit on his blog

Fourze Driver is getting the Super Best treatment for the first time, along with an Accel Driver reissue. Took long enough, and I want my Fourze Driver.

op here new thread >>11455882

Is it worth getting the SSS to upgrade my old Momotaros? Will he still look good with the others or does he make them look like manlets?

>>11456327
Looks like a comfy table set up

>>11456337
The old DX Momo came with the mug, table and benches setup to imitate chilling in the traincar and all his buddies came with a custom drink of their own to sit and share there, it’s very comfy.

>>11456320
Hey! HEY! Thread hasn't been necro'd yet, you can't do that!

What are these? It looks like a step between RKF and Figuarts.

>>11456607
>step between RKF and Figuarts.
They're just that. China only figures they decided to also sell in Japan. The Japanese release will also have less paint apps.

https://twitter.com/t_features/status/1933676022962270510
Now also rerelease the Betachaser 2000.

>>11456766
Could this finally be the definitive CSM Arcle with voice lines?

>>11456937
Hopefully.
>>11456824
And man, gotta love the CSG Dragon Rod. While only slightly smaller than the show prop, the size is just good for production. The Leangle Rouzer could have this same length, but the Metal Shaft could be longer.

>>11456937
Maybe. They took a 25th reunion pic just a little while ago and joe was in it.

why is the gokai changer the henshin device that keeps going and going?

>>11457924
It's an anniversary series and prints money
Also mad easy to do gimmick toys and sounds for

>>11451766
I'm dying for these to get SMPs.

>>11452822
I'm gonna need a Dragon Buckler version of this.

Taroman Bendable Action Figure from Kaiyodo

>>11457924
Gokaiger is one of the most popular Sentais of all time and Ranger Keys are a fan favorite collectable. They can just release an updated Mobilates every few years and shit out a new Ranger Key set for every new team and the gravy train never stops as long as Tomokazu Seki is still alive to scream out the team name.

Gochi's up for HLJ people

Anyone have this guy? thinking about grabbing since it's on sale

[spoiler] Not sure how popular Rising is here okay I just think Emi is cute [/spoiler]

>>11460080
Rising was fairly well regarded by people who aren't Ultraman fans. Take that as you will.

>>11460080
Wouldn't really recommend the thing, but it doesn't do anything you wouldn't expect to see coming from a mile away.
The thing is an utter twig so the figure has very low weight and is susceptible to bad balance and tipping over moreso that most other figuarts. Accessories are somewhat lacking. Care needs to be taken with the pupil swap gimmick as the pegs can break off in the head. Emi is a neat little accessory I guess but it's kind of just too small to do much of anything.

>>11460245
thanks

>>11460080
Good figure, i have no real problems with mine but he's so skinny i just have this instinctual fear i'm gonna find out he has some fragile point that isn't apparent.
Aso Emi is insanely fucking tiny. I guess she's in scale but holy shit.

I'm only missing 3 now
Apparently Tycoon Fever Ninja ISN'T up for pre order yet and I did just fever dream it

>>11460673
yeah from the review I saw, he seemed surprisingly poseable despite how skinny he is

>>11445010
kek who is this tranny

Bandai wants that blokee money. Should have just continued the 66 action line.

>another upside down error
What is Bandai doing.

Anyone here bought the bootleg CSM Faiz Gear? I was wondering which accessory set I should buy, because the store where I bought mine doesn't have it and I don't know if the ones that are currently up are compatible with mine, if that is even possible.

This is where I bought the belt:

>>11462933
All bootleg faiz stuff are only compatible with the bootleg shit. Cant mix official with bootleg so youre fine.

So Ami Ami just gave up on carrying Ultraman DX stuff huh? Wanted Omega's Nariki but everywhere's either overpriced or on order stop.

Wonder how keppleey feels about everyone using their kaiju kits with SHF

SS Seven when?

>>11463474
see you in 2027 for his 60th anniversary.

i wanna buy dx magiking, is he as good as he looks?

https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20250622_rider
>>11464551
I don't own the DX, but I've magician is one of my most favorite sentai mechas cause of the transformations it has. You could also get the SMP that literally just came out.

>>11464575
oh nice, i didn't know the candy toy was out already.

i really like magiking for the transformation too, but the result of pink going into red going into the body is that his tits are way too big. looks like the SMP can hold his sword in two hands across his chest, which is great.

>>11464581
Yeah SMP usually always fixes proportion and articulation problems the DXs have. HLJ charged me for mine last night, but it seems like it's out of stock there. HOBBYSEARCH still has him in stock.

>>11464587
thanks for the recs. i ended up going with kurama toys, who i've bought from before without issue

>>11464551
Magifairy has tendency to break (or even come broken) at the hinge in the middle. You can still combine it.

wolkaiser with joints is gonna be incredible

>>11445010
HAHAHAAHHA WHAT THE FUCK

are all SMPs this sticker heavy?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVhnqEizxzk

>SEA troll still around

I wish mods could perma again
As for on Topic
Did anybody even get Frappe?
It felt like it was gone instantly, Amazon JP isn't too good anymore and now it's getting a P-Bandai Reissue?
BBTS got it and I caved for the like $6-10+ over but they haven't got it in yet

>>11467783
I'd call that fairly average for an SMP set. You are putting decals on for 5 different figures. It might be a bit of an outlier because how how BIG the yellow, blue, and green stickers are.

>>11467783
While they do usually feature a lot of stickers, candy toys as a whole have been hit pretty hard by the fall in yen, so we've been seeing less paint and more stickers across the board. In some cases like the Gavv So-do's most of the figures are almost devoid of paint apps, compare that to 2ish years ago when even the shittiest of Revice figures had a decent amount, and that's ignoring the fact we get even less figures now.

>The Kaiserphone at SHF Soka, maybe the paint was sticking, but when I turned it, the screw broke, and my mood totally crashed.
Watch out while swiveling your SHF Kusaka Kaixa phones.

>>11467864
I got the frappeis! it's quite fun, though it has no off switch so if you wanna fidget with it you better of kept that pull tab .w.

just got this haul!

https://twitter.com/Gashapon_Bandai/status/1938152786476339668
It's something for metal heroes.

>>11470855
Make Trigaron too!!

>>11470211
Nice action bastard, you gonna get the shin chan shf?

>>11471566
i forgot that they made one! maybe, but he doesn't come with a butt dance pose so it's trash lmao

https://twitter.com/t_features/status/1938556933478531134
Excellent ab crunch on the upcoming SHFSS Stronger because Bandai adopted the movable chest piece that modders kept butchering and adding on their SHF.

i think what i like most about magiking is the different scale of each component mecha

the dragon is cool, but the head is limited to up and down. a little left/right would've added a lot of expression

>>11472272
>>11472274
