S.H. Figuarts Shinkenger



When the Shinkenger team was announced for the S.H. Figuarts, it really got alot of fans excited! Japan was finally going to have awesome poseable figures rather than the unexciting vinyl ones.

Sometime back, ShinkenRed and ShinkenGold first went online as pre-order items on Bandai's webstore with Kurokos as first-press bonuses. They are also slated for regular release in late Feb and Mar this year.

As cool as it sounds, the price for getting the whole team was also astronomical for a bunch of action figures! Based on CSC's import prices, one S.H. Figuarts is approximately S$45 which makes the whole team of 6 at S$270?!

NOW THE DREAM OF OWNING THE WHOLE TEAM HAS BEEN MADE CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE...



The latest announcement from Bandai Japan has confirmed that ShinkenBlue and ShinkenGreen would be online exclusives only.

This means that those who wish to get them have to go through middleman services. Damn! Now, I'm debating whether to get or not.
