You could do a just do a google search...

http://highm0bility.wordpress.com/categ ... -figuarts/ - This is my blog. It contains some reviews on Figuarts. In short, it's the most playable and posable figure line around for Kamen Rider, and more recently, Super Sentai. (ShinkenRed and Gold have been released, while the rest of the Shinkengers are slated for limited releases and GokaiRed is slated for a later date.)

Be prepared, the are quite costly for something of their size due to the quality, and this cost adds up. It may be a good idea to only get your favourite Riders, and even then they usually only make peoples favourites, so that'll still hurt your wallet.

Exclusives tend to range from (Singapore Dollars) $70 to $100 in Singapore, depending on stock availability. Not too sure about prices when shipped to the States.

Regular releases range from S$35 to S$55, depending on stock availability and popularity of the figure.

$40 US is not alot to you? I'm comparing to a comparable toy for its size that you could buy locally. And by costly, I mean it will add up if you start getting a lot.

Some advice would be to shop around. Ami Ami usually has them the cheapest, but the range is iffy. HLJ and Hobby Search are pretty sweet as well. You'll usually end up getting them cheaper using one of these Japanese based websites than Amazon or Ebay.
