S.H. FiguArts Power Rangers

[kanine]

These are coming out so quick, I just got my shipping notice from Amazon for Armored Red Ranger.

I wonder if anyone has a solution to this problem I have; I got hurricane red there, and although he looks perfect, his right arm is incredibly stiff at the shoulder joint, so stiff that moving it makes it creak badly. Is there any way to loosen the joint? Never had this problem before, its always been a joint thats too loose, but not too tight.

I feel like after Pink its going to be a long wait until Black :/

Are they making more individual labeled stands, like the ones released at SDCC?

Try to keep working on the movement. At first they might be stiff, but if you gently work on moving the joints especially the arms and shoulders. Eventually they will loosen, you just have to keep futzing with the shoulders. If you look closely there is a groove where the shoulder socket connects to the arm, sometimes the shoulders are not aligned properly. If you futz with them enough you should be able to twist them into place.

Remember do not use extreme force, as you might snap off something. Be patient. The " Creak " sound you hear is actually a good thing it means the shoulders are loosening but they are still factory stiff.

Keep trying to turn the shoulder blades gently until you hear a pop from the creaking sound that means the joints have loosened. What worked for me was moving the arms in and out, turning them 360 degrees and side to side while futzing with the shoulder blades.

You can always try heating the shoulders with a hair dryer. But try not to heat them too long

GREAT pictures man. Thank you for those!!

I love Hurricanger, I wish someone would sub the whole show. It's cool to see production samples on display, but Super Sentai figures always look excellent. It looks like Goku & Krillin are production samples as well. I would guess that is why they have the markings in them. They look good too.

Pink Ranger looks to be production, that's cool. She looks great.

My Kyoryu Red should be here next week I hope. I love Kyoryuger Sentai. It's quickly become one of my favorite teams in terms of design, and the show is so much fun.

 

[Animal Mother.]

I would prefer the paler pink of the packaging photo though, as someone I think said earlier.

Gonna have to dig out my original megazord from storage. I'd like to display each with their respective zord.

 

[Science Friction]

I didn't realize you were collecting them, that's awesome man! I need to grab Armored Red, but aside from him I've managed to stay caught up despite buying some of the other Sentai releases.

Yeah, the paler pink would have been nicer, but I suppose the bolder pink will help her stand out better with the others on the shelf.

Nice, I need to get a Megazord. I'm thinking of getting the Tamashii one, or maybe waiting to see if Bandai America makes that 2 ft. one they showed a proto of at NYCC.

 

[Big Deano]

The SRC chogokin is excellent as long as you dont mind him being the same height as the rangers, but the detail and movement is great.

And thanks guyver; like I said, I have a lot of these figures from both dbz and sentai/PR, but this was the first time I had that issue lol.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Picked up Red Ranger and White Ranger at the Con. But for whatever reason I decided it would be awesome to have Jason David Frank sign my white ranger's box. So now I have green ranger, red ranger, and a white tanger that is stuck in the box lol

Sentaifan097 and SentaiTim on YouTube has the complete series subbed of Gokaiger, Goseiger, Hurricanger,, Magiranger, Go Busters , and others, the resolution is great and from Goseiger up to Go Busters, HD quality!

One small downside the opening themes in each episode of Gokaigers is muted due to copy rights. Other than that you can't get any better then these subbed versions on these channels. DVD quality.

Sentai fan even has the first season of akibarangers and the first 32 episodes of Kyoryu all subbed and in HD.

 

[Science Friction]

Yeah, I know of them. I didn't know anyone had finished subbing Hurricanger. Last I checked it was only up to episode 10 and was on hold.

I love Super Sentai.

Heh, thing is I've been going back and forth for the past couple months but I realized I should at least order one and get it over with. So I'll be doing that today.

The good thing is I was too old to play with the old toys when I got them, so they're mint and only were displayed same with all the ranger stuff I have.

Bad news is I didnt take care of Dragonzord when it came time to put him away, so his pieces got scattered in so many different containers I dont even know where to look or if its even complete. But I love that reissue coming anyway, so that works out.

 

[Science Friction]

I know what you mean. When I decided to get into collecting primarily Japanese figures I knew I had to be decisive. I generally buy now and if I change my mind I can sell later. I love Zyuranger and have a lot of nostalgia for MMPR so I was onboard no question. I do hem and haw a bit over some of the other Sentai teams, but generally only buy figures from the teams I really love.

Nice, that should make for a great display. I'm really excited about the new Dragonzord. I can't believe how good it looks, Bandai America really outdid themselves. I'm impressed they even did detail work on the underside of the feet. I would still prefer a Tamashii version to scale with the Megazord that I plan to eventually get. Now with the Legacy Dragonzord I'll need to get the Legacy Megazord, and I'm not sure if I like that enough or not. I have to look at it again.

I love Super Sentai.

Nope SentaiFan097 has all 51 episodes of Hurricangers. They're in my playlists.

The weird thing is trying to link to the right channel. When you try Sentaifan it shifts to Sentaifan999 which has no series for some reason.

The best way I found is to subscribe to Sentaifan097 by linking to an episode he posted of a series, save it in the bookmarks and then directly click on the channel marked Sentaifan097.

That seems the only proper way to get to the right channel that has all his series playlists.

They even have a lot of the VS specials and Sentai movies like Dekarangers vs Magirangers.

Just got a notification from BBTS that my Armored Red Ranger order has been processed!

Cool! I must be thinking of another Sentai then. That's awesome. I generally stick to Sentaifan097 but am aware of others. I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks.

Hurricanger is in my top 5 sentai, maybe even top 3. Anybody know where I can see the subbed version of the 10 years after movie? I would love a figure Hurricane Black.

 

[Science Friction]

Oh man, Hurricane Black would be awesome! I'm still hoping we get the final member of Hurricanger. I'm positive Bandai will come through.

 

[Big Deano]

If its the equivalent of the green samurai ranger from ninja storm you guys are talking about then yes, thats would be an instant buy, as long as the armor and gelmet change for his super form.

 

[Science Friction]

Yup, that's the one. The one and only, and most bad@$$ Hurricanger, imo.

Yeah, it definitely needs to be an all in one figure.
