Which Orb?

Generally it comes down to which character do you like better.

It'd be orb origin, based on what I'm seeing there probably isn't going to be a huge rush to get the standard releases.

I like them equally, I've only collected the ultraQ stuff so far, so I'm leaning towards orb just because it'll brighten up my shelf.

I haven't put in my shipment request for Orb origin yet, but Ultraseven is a pretty great figure. Good quality, good accessories.

Go with Seven. I like Orb, but Seven has the superior show.

As for Guts, I see what you guys mean. I like both, so I would be cool either way. Pandan is one I would definitely prefer the Ginga design over the original Seven design. Never understand how he managed to be the final monster of the show, especially when King Joe was like THE ultimate villain. He should have been saved for the finale.

^Really, they're both pretty affordable. And if Seven has lasted this long without selling out, one could realistically buy Seven first and then wait a couple months to buy Orb Origin.

Solid point. Ultraseven it is.

So I just got the SH Figuarts Mefilas, and I am impressed!
The guy didn't seem to have any issues and he looks very accurate to both the show and the promotional pictures!

Now, if only we could get this same degree of care in Tamashii's other lines *cough*SHMA*cough* :roll:

Any recommendations for where I can pre-order the Ultraman Orb Spacium Zeperion that comes out December? Kirin Hobby has the best price with no shipping but I'm not familiar with them.

^Don't know if you're willing to buy from Japan, but HobbyLink Japan has him for about $42 before shipping, but you're looking at $10-15 for shipping.

My recent orders came in. Orb both Origin versions, Scouter Vegeta and Gomora. Just fantastic figures!

Except Orb's color timers. Kinda wish they went the UA Mebius route and had full chest pieces so they wouldn't constantly fall off with the slightest pressure.

They have absolutely terrible reviews, stay away. They constantly put things on their site they don't have to garner interest. After weeks they'll sort you out with explanations and refunds.

Thanks for the heads up. I couldn't shake and unsure feeling about them.

Went to preorder Orb Spacium Zeperion and the new Kamen Rider Ichigo, but HLJ capped their orders on the latter. :cry:

Don't order off Nippon Yasan, they're a slimy piece of shit from what I've heard.

Bandai closed their preorder window so NY will probably close them soon.

Good to know. I need to wait until the 20th before I can order it.

Except for an issue I had back in May, I've had no problem with them ever. Plus, who else can I order from? Is there anyone I can order Dada from that I don't have to pay for him yet?
