I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday to look for DBZ figures, which of course they still don't carry in the store, but they did have plenty of the Mario Figuarts stuff. I don't see that stuff as increasing in value as I imagine they made tons and tons of it, do you guys agree?

A few catches...I have to thank cracker again for helping me get an Armored Black Ranger figure for a good price. so excited to have it but that's the only pic I took. This next catch is a bit more important than the rangers...after seeing the World of Nintendo Bowser in a post ToadKart made I had to pick one up. Promising...until I got it out of the box. The paint apps were very disappointing, especially for a figure this large. I'd list all the issues but it's easier to say it should have been better. The shoulders and legs are both on ball joints but are limited since they were placed so deep into the torso and it looks like it would have been very easy to make it happen but the head isn't articulated. I guess I've been spoiled by all my Figuarts and Figma figures. I can overlook the articulation flaws for the same reasons I ignored the issues on the Figuarts Mario, this is a strange design to work with. I don't really feel I got my money's worth after paying $40 for it (even though it's now selling for $50)...and yet...I'm satisfied with it. It isn't perfect but it looks great and has a very nice size. That alone makes me happy with my purchase. I was worried it wouldn't be much larger than the Figuarts Mario...fortunately that's hardly an issue. As I said in the other thread...perfect. Here are two more pics with a Figuarts Goku and a Figma Link to show how big it is. I'm very happy with how it compares to the Figma Link, I feel it's exactly where it needs to be. A few more pics... Good, not great...but I'm satisfied with it. Here's an update of one of the pics, I didn't notice Mario's hat wasn't in frame and I edited Bowser's eye to make the pic look more natural. they started selling this bowser for $17 at Toysrus Thanks, just ordered DK and Bowser.

listings on ebay from scalpers? no, I mean the cheaper listings. it's quite obvious I was scalped and that bums me out. I don't think about it too much though, I was excited to get it and had $40 to spend that week so it doesn't matter.

Got Akarenger and Mario Today!. Akaranger looks great! he is One of the Original Red ranger that started it all. My whole life I lived a lie, thinking Jason was the original red ranger...little did I know Tsuyoshi Kaijo was in the ranger game way before Jason was in Diapers. Retro 70's attire.
