FIGUARTS
You might have noticed something strange on the list. I have kinda fallen for Figuarts in a bad way. I ended up with two Red Hawk Figuarts for very cheap (1000 yen) and was given an excellent donation of Super-1 and Stronger. I may have fallen into a trap... I ended up scouring the net for cheap figures (I managed to get all of the Riders for reasonably cheap prices outside of 2 and a pre-order for X)...(oh, an I went with the Amazon.co.jp edition of Amazon Rider because it's the most meta thing in the universe even if the figure is almost completely unchanged. I like weird variant boxes, so it was up my alley).
The problem I always had with Figuarts lied in the first two that I ever saw: BLACK and BLACK RX. To this day I think those two figures are abominations. I'm always reminded of a certain line from an episode of The Simpsons when Marge tries to fit in at a country club. "That's the trouble with first impressions. You only get to make one.". That sums up everything I've felt about Figuarts all this time. The recent Sentai figures have given me reason to go back and *really* take a look at the Showa Riders that I love. Well, they look good. I didn't realize that all of the Showa Riders were out except ZX (Really? So what if he only had that lame movie...he's the 10th Rider for Chrissake!). So I have been secretly amassing a small army of figures. I can assure you, though... I have no interest in going past ZX for Rider unless they get their shit together and do better versions of BLACK and BLACK RX. If they ever did the 90s movie Riders...OK, I'd get those too. Beyond that, none of the newer ones look that good to me either, nor am I attached to anything outside of Kuuga and Agito.
Sentai-wise... Well, I can be picky. Ryuuranger was a definite preorder and the two Zyuranger ones listed above were a given.
With all that said, I still stand behind my previous declaration... Action Works Metalder is the best Tokusatsu figure out there. Now I have some clout to back up that claim.
----------------------------------------------------
So there you have it. There is my near-complete calendar for 2013. Naturally, things can be shuffled around...but seeing that I am well past making and uploading the Gingaman month stuff, it is safe to say I'll be sticking to that calender as best as I can. I better get back to work!

Hi.
ReplyDeleteThis is SunnyC247 from YouTube.
This is my first time posting a comment on any blog, so there may be some few typos and thing I might forget to mention.
First, I want to mention is that, you got one very interesting (and busy) schedule there.
I didn't expect you to post schedule that will last til December.
I'm looking forward to your very first Figuart review of Kamen Rider. I want to hear your thought on it and overall thought of Figurat in general.
I'm also looking forward to your SIX-YEAR VIDEO (I wonder what's it going to be?) and 350th video (which I'm expecting it to be Zyuranger related, right?).
Judging by your schedule, you're covering most of the past sentai toys from Dairanger, Gingaman, and Gaoranger, til end of the year.
Next year marks the 20th anniversary of Kakuranger (1994), so maybe you should do Kakuranger month 2 (if you have any more toys to review that is).
There are some few questions I want to ask.
What ever happened to your GB Custom Visor review, which was supposed to come out in January? I've been waiting for long time for that review. I know that series is already over, but I'm curious of what happened to that.
I also wonder whatever happened to you Ohranger Green and Blue figures review? In your Yellow and Pink review, it was stated as "final" review for figures, even though I haven't seen your Green and Blue figure review. Were they deleted?
Anyway, that was my response for this entry.
Take care.
Thanks for commenting here. Let me try to hit all of your points. :D

Basically what I said in the post above. The terrible-ness of BLACK and BLACK RX scared me off for a long time. I have all of the figures in my possession (except X, which isn't out yet...and Skyrider because King hasn't sent it to me) and I have to say that I like them...but still, Metalder is better. Hahaa.
"I'm also looking forward to your SIX-YEAR VIDEO (I wonder what's it going to be?) and 350th video (which I'm expecting it to be Zyuranger related, right?)."
I'm counting on King to hopefully whip me up something special for the 350th. As for the sixth anniversary... Expect something along the line of what I did last year with a video of thumbnails. Nothing special, but I noticed that people who don't watch all of my videos get a taste of stuff they're missing that way.
"Judging by your schedule, you're covering most of the past sentai toys from Dairanger, Gingaman, and Gaoranger, til end of the year.

Another Kakuranger month would actually be Kakuranger Month 3. Hahaa. January 2012 and October 2012. I'm working on putting together a bunch of new Kakuranger items.

This will happen late. I took pics/vids and the SD card the files were on ate it. I'll get back to it in time...it's not the toy's fault, but it cartainly sucks. > <
"I also wonder whatever happened to you Ohranger Green and Blue figures review? In your Yellow and Pink review, it was stated as "final" review for figures, even though I haven't seen your Green and Blue figure review. Were they deleted?"
In December 2011 I had a mass-exodus of Ohranger videos from my channel. Both Henshin Braces, the Blue and Green figure video, Ohrangerrobo, and RV Robo (oddly) were all wiped outnby Columbia. I restored all to my secondary channel except the figures. I might go back and make one long video out of all three figure vids and upload it on my secondary.
Thanks for the comment. ^^
