Figuarts
 

Because this is a general thread on Figuarts I'm posting it here.

Now has any poster here bought any of the Bluefin Tamashii Nations Figurarts yet? I haven't but I'm planning to.

At the moment my list of the ones that I will buy will be as follows:

Black Mighty Morphin Power Ranger




Red Armored Mighty Morphin Power Ranger




Black Overdrive Ranger

Blue Overdrive Ranger

MetalGarurumon

Sailor Moon
Sailor Mercury
Sailor Venus
Sailor Mars
Sailor Uranus
Sailor Neptune
Sailor Mini Moon
Tuxedo Mask

Those are just the ones that are still available for purchase on the Bluefin website there are however others out there such as the rest of the Mighty Morphin team, I believe all of Ninja Storm, most of Samurai and I believe they even released S.P.D. as well as Sailor Saturn.

Re: Figuarts
 

Damn that's cool.

Re: Figuarts
 

that it is. It's even cooler knowing that with the Mighty Morphin ones they created them so that you could recreate their various poses from the show and their miniature Power Weapons can also combine to recreate a miniature version of the Power Blaster.

Re: Figuarts
 

I want to get Metalder, Spielban, and Shaider.

Hopefully we'll get Diana Lady.

Re: Figuarts
 

we probably will. I want to get anything that was released in Power Rangers (well with the exception of Dairanger and the pre-Zyu ones) and Sailor Moon. Digimon, Beetleborgs, VR Troopers and Masked Rider however will have some limits placed on them for me.

Re: Figuarts
 

Not many limits in the case of Sailor Moon though since I'll get Tuxedo Mask and all of the Sailor Soldiers that were released as of SuperS including SuperS but the only thing from Stars that I would get is Eternal Sailor Moon. I would get Artemis, Luna and Diana as well. I would probably get Moonlight Knight as well if he was released.

The others would have more limits placed on them. Digimon I would just mostly focus on the main heroes, their Digimon, the Digimon Gods (like Azulongmon) and of course certain evil Digimon but mostly just the ones that were central to the story. Leomon and Ogremon are the only exceptions to that since they had a good story together which would also mean I would need to get SaberLeomon too.

Masked Rider at most I would just get Masked Rider, Super Blue, Super Gold and Robo Rider as well as Magno and Combat Chopper as well as Combat Chopper's upgraded form.

VR Troopers and Beetleborgs I would just focus on the heroes themselves which would include the Astralborgs of course but I would also get Shadowborg.
Something that I would enjoy greatly for Bluefin to do is to create a Dragonborg Figuart where you can unclip his wings so you can create a version of Machine Empire General Steelon. I would also enjoy it if they created Fireborg and Lightningborg Figuarts where you can detach their heads so you can recreate that reddish orangish Machine Empire General.

Re: Figuarts
 

I see.

I would probably go crazy, and make Figuarts for Coolgin, Valsky, Geldring, Dranzer, Top Gunder, and Crosslander from Metalder, and Hellvira, Death Zero, and Dr. Bio from Spielban.

And then American original Figuarts based on the Battle Grid suits.

Re: Figuarts
 

are those villains or heroes? I'm assuming villains.

Re: Figuarts
 

in regards to villains if it was my choice to decide on Figuarts then I would pick the following ones:

Rita
Goldar (with his various heads and body shapes as well as retractable wings)
Scorpina (both forms)
Finster
Squatt and Baboo
Rito and Master Vile
King Mondo (both forms the Damocles Sword would also be included in with him.)
Queen Machina
Prince Sprocket
Klank and Orbus
Prince Gasket and Archerina
Louie Kaboom I really couldn't care less about him.
Divatox.
Elgar.
Rygog.
Porto.
Havoc.
Dark Specter.
Ecliptor (all of his 4 forms and his 4 Swords)
Darkonda
Darkliptor
Scorpius
Trakeena (as well as her various forms including her Battle Gear and her Mutant form and her 2 Staffs)
Furio
Treacheron
Deviot
Villamax and Kegler
Captain Mutiny
Barbarax
Bansheera
Diabolico
Vypra
Loki
Jinxer
Impus and Olympius
Ransik
Nadira I really don't care about.
Frax.
Gluto I really don't care about.
Ancient Master Org, human Master Org and Monster Master Org
Toxica and Jindrax
Retinax, Nayzor and Mandilok
Zen-Aku
Lothor
Kapri and Marah
Zurgane, Chooboo, Motodrone and Vexacus.
Mesogog, Zeltrax and Elsa.
Gruumm and Broodwing. Don't care about Mora/Morgana at all.
The Master of the Underworld.
Morticon and Imperious.
All 10 Terrors.
Moltor and Flurious.
Kamdor and Miratrix.
The 4 Fearcats.
Dai-Shi, Camille, the Overlords and the Phantom Beast Generals.
Venjix, Venjix Monster Bodies, Tenaya 7, Shifter, Crunch and Kilobyte.
Xandred, Dayu, Serrator, Deker and Octoroo.
Admiral Malkor and Creepox.
Vrak with all of his various forms including the Sentai-only ones.
Vekar, Levira, Damaras and Mavro.

For VR Troopers I would just care about the 2 Grimlord versions. If they decide to release anyone else then I would go with Ivar, Icebot and Doommaster.
For Beetleborgs I would go with... all of the lead Magnavores and Crustaceans including their various forms.

For Sailor Moon I would just mainly care about Beryl, the 4 Kings, Wiseman, Diamond, Sapphire, Emerald, the 4 Sisters, Tomoe, all of Tomoe's Generals and all of the lead ones from the Dead/Dark Moon Circus.

For Digimon among villains I would go with Devimon, Etemon/MetalEtemon, Myotismon/VenomMyotismon/MaloMyotismon, MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, Piedmon, Apocalymon, the Devas from Tamers... I can't think of any others at the moment.

Re: Figuarts
 

okay Coolgin is Decimator in VR Troopers. I would approve of that. He has a cool design especially with his helmet.

I don't remember Valsky (Zelton) so I can't say anything about that one.

I would definitely approve of Top Gunder (Dark Heart) for obvious reasons.

Geldring (Toxoid) I don't remember but he has a cool Krang-like design so I would definitely approve of that.

Don't have much of an opinion on Crosslander/Renegade.

We're on the same page with Deathzero (Ivar) and Bio (Icebot) so that's cool.

I would approve of Hellvira (Red Python) as well for obvious reasons - an evil Trooper.

Re: Figuarts
 

With regards to Renegade/Crosslander that was because in Metalder he was Top Gunder's replacement in Neros Empire after Top Gunder turned good, and in Metalder they were rivals.

I guess I always imagined that if there was more footage of it that they could have had Dark Heart be an ally of the Troopers after they rescued him, and restored his memories of being Tyler Steele.

And they would have this thing where every episode only used one monster from one Metal Hero show, and when JB, and Kaitlin fought a Spielban monster Ryan, and Dark Heart would fight Renegade, Minotaurbot, and Chrome Dome.

Re: Figuarts
 

they probably would have shot more footage if the suits were still in decent condition sadly they weren't. Grimlord was sadly redesigned in Season 2 because of it. Despera, Doom Master and the Vixens somehow still had similar looking costumes though but Saban probably made those.

Re: Figuarts
 

Indeed.

I remember, there was a suit for Dark Heart but I could never get a good look at it, and I only remember it in parts where Dark Heart was lying down.

I did wonder about the suits that where just a guy in spandex with a helmet.

But I know Decimator, Zelton, Toxoid, Ivar, and Icebot would have been hard to replicate.

Which is sad because I wanted to see them in American footage.

Re: Figuarts
 

hard to say since Power Rangers usually did pretty good with creating things in Power Rangers - Lord Zedd, Z Putties, Piranhatrons, Quantrons, Velocifighters, Stingwingers, T-drones. Kelzak Furies were made pretty close in design to the regular Kelzaks.

They did a good job with recreating Sentai sets such as the exterior of the Dark Fortress, the interior of Finster's Workshop and the interior of The Nexus. Also the Omega Megazord cockpit.

They did a good job with creating the Wind Rangers' Tsunami Cycles so that they would match in design with the Thunder Rangers' Cycles.

Re: Figuarts
 

I see.

Since I got us off topic I'll try to think of some more Figuarts I would want.

I'll go with Jiraiya, Jiban, Blue Swat, Winspector, Solbrain, and Exceedraft since there the only Metal Hero shows I can think of that don't have Figuarts yet.

For now I just want to get the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Metalder, Spielban, Shaider, Kamen Rider Black RX, Blue Beet, and Janperson ones.
