Finally! This was a fanclub release, correct? Will S7, Span or TT be getting these? (Because the days of paying insane Yahoo Japan prices for stuff which becomes gettable here are over for me - I'd rather miss out than that - nyah nyah - shit, that sounds bad - I'm still inlove with SB!)
I got the Silver and think it rocks, but somehow I just ain't feelin' the Gold . . . not a bad thing these days! $$$
particularily goes well with the mask ranger balzac silver.... i have a feeling that the gold mantis will be better in person than in standard still pic,,,and will go particularily well with the gold balzac bagman...
I like it, but I prefer the silver. Silver, as Andy said, has that 60's/70's Sci Fi vibe. I can see the silver mantis hanging out with Barbarella.
And the masked ranger series continues to take a great concept and drain it dry to the point of no interest.
i agree. they should either end the ranger series and move onto something new. or even stagger the ranger releases further apart.
For a couple of the Mask Ranger figures, they really have put out a lot of versions already. There are 4 Bagman figures. But, having seen them all in person (in Tokyo and from my collection), I think they're mostly really solid versions, and *distinct* from one another. You really can't lump together the red, purple, and silver. They've each got their own personalities. The gold and silver are quite similar, granted. Now, if SB starts going nuts on the color variants (without adding distinct personality touches ) of every figure, that will be another issue. I've got a Gold Mantis on the way and can't wait to see what it looks like in person, set up alongside the rest of the series. Still missing the Gold and Silver Bagman. If anyone feels this series is letting them down and wants to get rid of those, drop me a PM!
