@@An_Ootramen Aw, I’m so sorry to hear that! That’s a terrible feeling. For what it’s worth, HobbyLink Japan still has the complete set in stock if you’re interested! It doesn’t specify that you’ll get all of them, but mine was a complete set so it seems like a reasonable bet. If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get yours? I haven’t seen individual boxes up for sale before.

@@jaxsaurus I live in Japan so I bought mine in stores so I guess Ill have to try my luck and hope to pull the ones I don’t have 😂😂 or maybe get them loose in Ebay or something

@@An_Ootramen Oh I see! Well best of luck in your pulls! I've paid more than I'd care to admit to complete blind box sets before xD

I bet it's a fun one to customize! I see what you mean, where figures can sometimes be hindered by over-engineering

@@jaxsaurus I almost want to put drops of super glue at all the points I know should not move.

@@louisborselio8608 That could be an interesting way of customizing it! It's tough to make a call on irreversible changes like that, but if you've got a double on the way, then it might be worth a shot!

@@jaxsaurus I decided not to bother with glue. The points of separation are so highly visible it isn't worth it. And I wouldn't know what to do to fill all those gaps.

@@louisborselio8608 Ah, fair!

I have! It looks beautiful, like they peeled it off the friggin' screen! Statues really aren't my wheelhouse and it's a bit expensive for me, but it's gonna look stunning in folks' X-Plus collections and such!

@@jaxsaurus I have one too, but another is on the way. I have to do some customization on one of them. Does yours balance with the tail up in the air. Do you wish for the tail to be against the surface of what ever you have it placed on for the more screen accurate tail dragging? Let me know. It's a quick easy trick.

@@louisborselio8608 Mine's been able to balance with the tail off the ground so far, with a little finicking with the feet, but given the feel of the joints, I don't know how long it'll be able to. I tend to go for the tail dragging pose just to be safe.

@@jaxsaurus Until I made the change, the tail stayed up in the air. I tried leaning it back to rest on the tail, but she just popped forward and the tail floated up again. I can't wait to get the second one so I can show people the slight but effective differences.

@@jaxsaurus I keep forgetting. Are you going to make a video for the 30CM Gorgo?

Sure, I'll test out some different lighting ranges for the next video. Thanks for the input :)

It certainly does, especially with how many different variants they release! I try not to be a completionist about it because it gets out of hand so quickly Lol

I’ve got that figure too, it’s great! :D

Thank you!

No need to apologize! It really is unfortunate to see so many people write off this swath of fiction out of hand, and for such arbitrary reasons. I think maybe part of the reason Americans are so averse to Tokusatsu media it’s the basis on which it operates. The American entertainment industry puts so much stock into being “realistic” and “serious,” that anything that deviates from that method of storytelling is looked down upon. Tokusatsu for example operates on a level of surreality that might be foreign to some, but that leads to people not giving it a chance and that’s terribly sad. There are so many beautiful stories, and it’s disheartening to see them being written off because people are afraid of judgement or unwilling to give it a chance because it’s “weird” or whatever the hell. The Ultraman series on its own is such a deep well of incredible stories and rich worlds, and it’s a damn shame that our cultural relationship with media is such that it’s considered “lesser” for such arbitrary and unfair reasons. It’s a whole phenomenon that warrants discussion in and of itself, and it hurts to see something you care about get trashed so needlessly. I had a very similar experience just the other day at school, and it sucks. I think it’s important that we lean on our own relationships with the things we love, and remember that nothing can take that away from us. Even if people point and laugh, make fun, or say derisive things, it will usually be coming from a place of arrogance, which is why it’s important to engage in genuine, well-meaning expressions and discussions, rather than worthless bullshit like Skipper’s video. Thank you for watching and sharing!

Totally! Good work deserves to be shared!

I’ve gotten that enough that I’m starting to see it too xD. Suppose I should learn to play an accordion

Thanks so much my man! I really appreciate it. Happy Holidays king!
