And this is why I'm rather uninspired by RiD. I don't mind the Legion Class figures, but none of the larger figures have particularly impressed me. I managed to collect RiD One Step Changers and Warrior Class figures for free because I did translation work for a friend (so he "paid" me in toys ), but I can't justify actually parting with my money for these toys. On the other hand, I went nuts collecting Beast Wars when they came out -- which was harder on the wallet because I was still a student at the time. There was much eating of instant curries.
