You may have caught us gushing on @TokuNation twitter account how much we’re in love with the Arms Change figure series for Kamen Rider Gaim. I personally just received my Gaim and Baron pieces, and I absolutely love them! So much in fact that if you’re on the fence on whether or not to pick up this figure, we’re suggesting YES YES YES!
TokuNation.com member and friend to the site, baltmatrix, posted up his video review of the figure a few days ago. Check out the video below!

Having personally just received this figure, as well as AC02 Kamen Rider Baron today, I highly recommend these figures. They do not have the articulation of an S.H. Figuart figure, but the playability feature by having the fruit land on the figure and transform in to armor, just like the show, is just too awesome not to get. Plus the little details – like orange slices that appear in Gaim’s helmet – are a nice touch.
But you’d better hurry – the popularity of these figures is increasing and they are becoming harder to find, as even Mandarake only had AC Kamen Rider Baron available as Gaim was totally sold out. After-market prices are already hitting close to triple the original price. Here’s a few links to some relatively decent-priced auctions on eBay:
– AC02 Baron – $19 with $13 shipping
– AC01 Gaim – $38 with $10 shipping
Okay, so I only found two that weren’t asking for $50 or more after shipping. Hurry and act now because you WILL want these figures later. And if you’re in the market to get AC03 Kamen Rider Ryugen, or the two Lock Seeds that transform in to the motorcycles, most foreign sites like Hobby Link Japan had pre-orders go live earlier this morning.
Henshin!

Great line of figures. I can't wait to see how the future releases turn out.
Sentai says
Okay, I think I need one
Meganus says
They look fun but I'm gonna pass on the AC series.
baltmatrix says
I'll have Baron in-hand later today so that review should go up tomorrow-ish.
Also guys, don't forget that there's the Gaim candy toys/models for a much lower price point. Those specific figures look to have the same gimmicks.

Oh goody...
I'd "team up" with.. Someone who doesn't need to throw lame gimmicks into their videos, with bad jokes. .. And someone who doesn't have trouble transforming EVERYTHING. Lol.

I like the baltmatrix reviews for one reason above all. Honesty.
Im sick of reviewers praising toys when theyre really not worth it, just because they want to keep getting free stuff. Spada is honest about his opinions and i can respect that.
Soon as ive got an idea how the line will develop i may jump on board, i kind of got put off by wizards Waps series last year as they were kind of boring (despite looking nice) but these figures look to buck the trend for me, especially as ive quit KR figuarts for now and this looks to be a lot of fun and an adequate stand in

I love the Arms change series! They all turned out so well. My only complaint is how painfuly slow the releases feel, since they all sync up with the show that's experiencing a delay right now.
Gaim seems to be one of the better Rider toylines. The push for quality is beyond what we normally get. The figures use tons of paint and different finishes to match the show, everything seems compatible and thoughtfully connected. And the gimmick is fun without being obtrusive. It's really quite exciting.

You are free to like and dislike whatever you may choose. But to post just to be a troll, well, you have my pity, sir.
