This is such a bizarre release. Leaving aside that it's an arm with a few accessories, Bandai already released a Figuarts Ankh arm with comparable accessories several years ago. It'll be slightly out of scale with Shinkocchou Seihou, but compatible enough for my taste.
I'm trying to figure out what they're adding that makes Bandai think a $40 price point is acceptable. Since we only have this image to go from, there's not a lot.
- It looks like the dangling flaps that were rendered as plastic in the original release are now cloth. I can't tell whether it's poseable or not; I don't see a wire.
- It looks like there are at least 10 individual cell medals, although I'm guessing the mass in the center is, like the original mass, one big piece.
- The iPhone and TaJaDor medals are new. I'm a little surprised it doesn't come with a couple more versions of the medal sets, since Ankh's main thing in battle was, "Eiji! Use these!"
- At least three alternate hands. This is a unique release because we're accustomed to thinking about hands in pairs, but the cost for additional hands for this one should be substantially less because there's only one arm.
- I'm assuming the paint is much more screen-accurate.
- Obviously, the arm and accessories are all scaled-up for Shinkocchou Seihou.
There's still not enough here for me to be tempted into a purchase, much less to justify it. I'm not sure what it would have to include in order for me to buy it. Maybe the Ride Vendor in vending machine form and some can animals. Definitely hands for OOO to hold the included accessories. Or, y'know. Ankh's human form.
