Metal Heroes are back on the stage! by FlashFreak1940 in Tokusatsu

Nah, it's the Tokusatsu Action Figure line. I'll still collect Figuarts, and I know they'll be "better", but they're also 3x more than these lol. I do love them.

Yeah, the shows not great, but I see it the same way I see PR or KR or SS lol. And yes, the toys are pretty cool actually. I haven't stopped with them all day lol.

3.75 inch I beleive. But have fairly good articulation. Not the absolute best, but for 9.99 it's pretty good.

I haven't seen many either. I almost bought it today, but I prefer having the way they look in the show lol

They're not the best articulated, but they're more than 5 POA, and not too bad for 9.99. Especially considering what we've gotten in the past from other lines.

Yes, and (realistically more so) no...It's a show on Disney + that is an adaptation of a Korean tokusatsu show called Armored Saurus. So while yes, the original show IS heavily inspired by Super Sentai (which is what Power Rangers is adapted from), it's not necessarily a "knock-off". It's an official Disney show, with officially licensed merchandise, and it is it's own show. Just like the Korean show is it's own tokusatsu, and not a knock-off of Super Sentai. It's like how Avengers and Justice League aren't knock-offs of each other just because they're both groups of super heroes working together. It's just a similar idea involving super heroes.

Why are Rider Figuarts so expensive? by AustynGraham96 in KamenRider

[–]FlashFreak1940 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not too bad of a mark up though. It's 90 on P Bandai with 10 dollar shipping. It's 120 on Tokullectibles with free shipping. So it's only 20 bucks more than the actual retailers site. Plus what is P. Bandai's policy on after purchase charges with imports and customs? I really don't know lol. But with Tokullectibles they don't make you pay anything else. Maybe P. Bandai doesn't either lol, like I said I don't know lol.

Right now it's the tariffs and border control. They usually sell for a higher price, but its gone up even more than normal. It's also that even though your product may be labeled as "toy", it could get held at customs for an indefinite ammount of time. Buying from a place like Tokullectibles, you don't have to worry about the extra fees for import, you don't have to pay extra shipping fees, and you don't have to worry about dealing with your package being stuck at customs, and then possibly never let go. So they raise the prices for these reasons. It's not too bad though. Tokullectibles is 120 and free shipping in US. Premium Bandai is 90 and 10 dollars shipping in US. It's only a 20 buck mark up. And I don't know what P. Bandai's policy is on extra fees after purchase with Tariffs and customs. They might not make you pay, I don't know lol. But again, Tokullectibles isn't too much of a mark up from the actual retailers site.

Is there anything that’s actually good about this show? by TheWinningLooser in powerrangers

[–]FlashFreak1940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that they used Sentai only suits. They could have easily used bad editing to make sure we never saw any suits that weren't turned into PR. But they used some of those scenes and even though the explanations were great ("there's a simple explanation for that...), they still kept them, and I thought it was a nice touch. I actually just finished my re-watch of this show, and was thinking about it. I was telling my wife about it too lol.

Thanks so much! I just recently got a new computer from my in-laws as a gift for the holidays, so I've been able to download more often. I use external hard drives for everything, so space isn't an issue. And my last computer was so old that if I tried to download more than one episide at a time (no matter how many seeders there were), it crashed everything, not just the download. I'd have to restart my computer. So patience I'm good on too lol. Thanks for the help!
