[SH FIGUFARTS] Do you have it?
Posted by Gcrush
I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to SH Figarts. I will write about some Tiger Rabbit ones when I get the chance. In the meantime, here is a picture of some Kamen Rider Figuart putting its gun in a rowbutt's butthole.

So, Bandai has thrilled me and chilled me in the span of 24 hours. While the Robot Spirits Zaku I Sniper was a shining example of marketing suckage, the SH Figuarts Shocker Rider is the exact opposite. It might just be my favorite figure this year.
I preordered Der Shocker (2-4-DSTINK-1-4-DPINK, BRO!) and promptly forgot about it. (It looks like Bandai did, too. I can't seem to find the product page for it anymore. And I haven't seen any of the usual Japanese review sites get to it yet. Anyway.) The QC is outstanding, the sculpting top-notch, the paint apps precise, the poseability delicious, and the accessories just right.* Der Shocker comes with a bunch of extra hands, two yellow scarves (blowing and hanging), a slew of differently colored team scarves (all hanging), and a breifcase. No effects parts, but that's not a deal breaker for me since everything else is so expertly handled.
This figure does almost everything right. It looks and poses great. The only thing it needs - no, deserves! - is a wider, non-exclusive distribution. Everyone should get one of these! This figure is so good that it will fill you with an afterglow powerful enough to erase any lingering personal and familial embarassment you experience for being an enermous, slobbering man-child hording an army of goofball toys in your closet. While Der Shocker might not get you laid, it will sti... No. Wait. Who am I kidding? Of course this toy will definitely get you laid! Buy on sight! This, I command!
It really makes me hope that Bandai will eventually get to Kikaider because I'm sure they can do it right...
* It appears that most, if not all, of Bandai's SH Fingerfarts Kamen Riders from the original series share the same base body. This is not a bad thing at all. No one should hesitate to buy one, or all, of these figures.

SH Figuarts Rock Bison is a superlatively excellent toy.
SH Figuarts Lunatic is fun, too, in the right environment.

I don't know anything about Figufarts or this character, but this looks hot. He looks like a cross between Gatchaman and Wonder Woman. Sassy!
The guys who did the amazing job with the sonic landscape of Tron. The Tamashii exclusive's going to be a couple of turntables, right?

Is that a modern anime update of Disney's Condorman?
