Am I the only for whom those figures are dead on arrival? How many attempts at recreating the Pursuit of COBRA line does the hobby need? How brown-on-brown-on-brown should figures from a line called Planet GREEN Valley be? C'mon, man; get to the *good* stuff you showed us that's never existed before in 30 previous toylines.
Weihua Wei just dropped a bunch of pics on Facebook. They look amazing.

Well, the parts of a basic dark blue diver. The two middle figures are the January/February AFOTM 2 pack as pictured. It does also come with the diver helmet.

Thanks! I think the diver is kots best figure to date. I backed the 4-pack and have been trying to get the new releases. Missed the material+ in the tank sawtooth set but I’m not a raddick fan and prefer the diver + heavy arms anyway. That said, bumble Jett ii can’t ship fast enough! Probably my favorite deco right after tidal wave.

In the interest of sharing, here’s my way old Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/ There’s a little bit of everything there but mostly Microman and Glyos.

Yeah, Diver is one of my faves as well.

:D Thanks! Revoltech’s kinda finicky but Assemble Borg really channels Henshin Cyborg DNA and the Nexus figures are an improvement over the first releases. I’m still hoping for the second wave teased at 2019/2020 Wonderfests but the a-borg site doesn’t look like it’s been updated since 2020.

Nice! and a takumi damashii hakaider (?) bike! I snagged the Red Crusher & Blue Zigg too and have the set of Asura Realm figures with 03 being my favorite. I’ve been trying not to fall down the sodo/shodo rabbit hole but I have some Ultraman figures. I went in on Epoch’s Daretoku Oretoku dark side & SWAT lines and was hoping for more releases but they seem to be done. I’ve also got a bunch of EVA frame figures that I haven’t assembled yet (only managed to assemble series one while 3 & 4 are gathering dust - yes, I skipped series 2).

Thank you for the blue diver pic: that looks pretty sweet. Maybe I’ll get a shot at in another riftmas miracle :)

I'm sort of obsessed with the Hakaider bikes. Here are some of mine:

I really liked the Epoch stuff, too. When they were bought by Tarlin, I thought Tarlin would continue those lines eventually, but sadly nothing so far :(

I fell so far down the Shodo/Sodo hole, lol. I must have over a thousand figures between the Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Super Sentai lines. Good stuff.

I've managed not to grab any of EVA frame figures, but they are very, very tempting. Though I did just order my first Gundam G-frame (Aerial).

I missed the Red Crusher! Blue Zigg is the only Super Robot King figure I have, but hope to pick more up down the road.
