Weird. I thought he'd be the Gokaiger Badguy least likely to get a Figuarts figure.

Weird. I thought he'd be the Gokaiger Badguy least likely to get a Figuarts figure.
I dunno, the Gokaigers didn't really have that many substantial bad guys, just Basco, Insaan, Damarasu, Waruzu I guess, all the others were monster of the week. Jealoushitto? I'd like to see that.Quote:

As for Snetai popularity, it would seem they are far behind Kamen riders. ANd that is with Japanese kids, not American Man-children.
Sentai popularity has been going down quite a bit these days. Gokaiger had good toy sales but bad ratings. Go-busters had bad ratings and toysales. I think they hope to change it with Kyoryuger.
Either way I think we won't see many new sentai figuarts in awhile
WHAAAAAT?Quote:

it was low mostly with kids. which is understandable. the show talked about shows and plots they would have no clue about.
Super Sentai's ratings have been dropping for years. Which is a shame because I think Go-Busters is friggin' great.
You forgot Barizorg! He'd make a cooler figure than Walz Gil along with the other guys you mentioned. Not that I'd buy them though.Quote:

And it's all about the puns for me:p
Aren't Figuarts for the man-children (Japanese of course) though? It's not there pushed like the DX mecha or the roleplay toys.
And, what the naysayers need to remember is, if I recall, Kamen Riders ratings have also dropped. Because, you know, TV viewership is pretty much dropping world wide because of DVRs, torrents, streaming, etc.
I am so pumped for Kyoryuger though. Can't wait.
Yeah Rider ratings have dropped but still maintained its child audience levels. its mostly older fans that stopped watching. Sentai however has lost a big chunk of toy playing age viewers.
Remember Rider toy sale figures are double ..almost triple sentai sales.
BUT ANYWAY! remember with the web shop stuff it doesn't really make much different to japanese fans and bandai knows exactly how many to make. its only a pain in the arse for us due to the middleman fees and such.
We will probably see the other stuff shown at the sentai tamashi festival last year pop up soon. Akaranger hopefully will be mass and im sure Rio, Mele, Baseball mask and the boukengers will be exclusive. well Bouken Silver might be mass release but its hard to say.

Got bored so I decided to pick a pic of my Sentai Transformation Devices. :p
Can you identify them all?
I can spot a Zeo morpher (in the front left), and the In Space one (in the front right). I think the one in the back right is from Wild Force.Quote:

I know the centre 2 are from the one before that (the pirate themed one) with the one just to the left being the main 5's morphers, and the one dead in the centre being the Silver Ranger's.
Behind the In Space morpher looks like it could be from the Sentai version of Samurai. The one to the right of that I can't quite recognise, but I am leaning towards the Silver Ranger's morpher from In Space.
oooooooooooooooo nice collection there man. very jealousQuote:

Oh and I finally uploaded my Battle Fever J Battle Robo review. A supremely sexy metal robot for all and sundry!
Did anyone catch the first episode of Mega Force? Despite the (expected) bad acting, and blank faces from the rangers, I really enjoyed it.
Yeah, the Takarabox is just a large piece of plastic to hold your keys. Its pretty sturdy though and comes with the NINJARED key.Quote:

Share and enjoy
Awesome review Tetsuwan Convoy!!!
I love the Gokaiger team and look forward to the Gavan Figuarts as well.
Thanks! And me too. That Gavan certainly has a bit of sexy shine going on!Quote:

Anyone happen to contact TRU in regards to the legacy morpher?
So... I decided to take a few more photos for the fun of it. Hope you enjoy.
First up,
Here you go Tetsuwan...Quote:

Hi everyone, im new here and im really into Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, i wanted to ask if anyone knows a store in Melbourne that sell Sentai or Kamen rider toys, mostly the DX toys, sorry if this question has been asked already but Thank you
Oh im also selling some toys on ebay if anyone is interested
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/henshinka...id=p4340.l2562
I just got an email from TRU that the Diecast Megazord that I ordered has just been shipped! I'll take pics if you guys want when it arrives.
Haven't seen anything in the CBD, sadly. You might get lucky with some Kamen Rider stuff, but outside of overly expensive figuarts (seriously Figuarts that are like $25 on amiami.com for $110 at Minotaur) you might be out of luck.Quote:

Ha ha ha! nice one Paul!
I have seen sme of the little combiney figures that are marked 10th anniversary (It think). They don't look that impressive so far. Hoping to see something with a bit more pizazz rock up soon.
Thanks for the tip, i have never heard of Toy Zone and im interested in seeing the shop, do they have a website or phone number or even pictures of what they sell, again thanksQuote:

The Japanese versions will most likely be Akibaranger tie-ins and thus have extra accessories. Like Red Hawk.Quote:

Dunno about the extra articulation maybe at the knee joint but other than that it is pretty much the same. The head articulation is my doing.
Glad someone enjoyed the pictures. Haha.
HA ha ha! Sweet! Thanks man, appreciate it! Hmm, not quite what I was expecting and doesn't really look like the actor, but amusing enough! :DQuote:

Can't wait to see the rest of megaforce and see the gokai galleon in action in the American series as that's my favourite series, I'm just waiting on my machalcon to rock up in the mail right now to complete my zord set for the series and then I will be starting on my keys.
I must admit the light speed rescue train carrier zord is the biggest, no other compares in side except serpentera, they stand on par with each other but as a megazord no other comes close.
Going through this thread I noticed that some one said something about a power rangers fan group for Australia, does any one know if that still exists?
I may just kill myself over all the Figuarts that were announced for Akiba season 2. Mind is blown. Tyranno, Ryuu and Dragon Rangers all pre-ordered.
Super Megaforce is shaping up to be really interesting. Been catching up on some older series too. Lost Galaxy starts of pretty boring and takes a good 20-odd episodes to become any good. But when it does, wow.
Dino Thunder is great through and through. SPD was no Dekaranger. Mystic Force may have the most hilarious opening I've ever heard. The latter two I will definitely be putting off my rewatch of.
