Toy Review: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto

Ever since I saw the SHF Dark Kabuto figure I got affixed into getting on my own. It was a difficult task since this was released almost three years ago and I just started to collect the SHF Kabuto line just now. Luckily someone on eBay was selling all of his SHF collection in almost half the price so I didn't make any second chances so I grabbed it instantly. Besides at this rate, even if he is a regular released item it is hard to get one nowadays.

The box design came from the previous line, or should I say 2nd generation of Kamen Rider SHFs that hit the market. Grey, black and bland. Forgive me, as an Advertising practitioner who also is into the packaging industry, this just won't cut as much as it would when Tatoba went on the market on Jan 2011. Then again, this was set three years ago so I think I would let it pass. Bandai has learned from the whole thing so we now see boxes with a bit of color or themed from the rider.

I was OverHaulin

My first "one time big time" huge purchase to date. The Chinese New Year ended recently so I went on the hunt for more figures and finally the post office started working again. First came the SIC Kiwami Tamashii Blade, King Form and Garren. Then I made a decision to cancel my order for the Toravendor by the damn thing locally. Beside the price for it is equivalent of it SRP (suggested retail price) and the shipping cost if bought from overseas like Japan or Hong Kong. 

Next was my eBay purchase of the SHF Gattack and Dark Kabuto. Yes I confess, my first SHF Kabuto series was the Hyper Form. I was honestly late in collecting the SHF figure line, so I wanted to catch up really bad. 

Accidentally, I came across a March 2011 issue of the Terebi Magazine (which I mistakenly thought it was a Hyper Hobby mag) which had the exclusive Kamen Rider OOO Gachapon Panda Medal. I bought it without hesitate so there. Texts on the mag were in Kanji and Katakana but I don't care LOL. I will decipher it with my aptitude to context clues.
