I know people have mentioned wanting a Build re-do before, but messing around with what I have I find myself thinking Zi-O deserves one most.
- The eyes are... pretty badly done. You get a transparent pink piece that goes over the entire section, and then the black parts that aren't supposed to be covered by the Katakana are done with black stickers. This is so completely backwards! Especially looking at recent FRSes, could they not have just cut the eyepiece correctly for a much more accurate appearance? It just does not look good at multiple angles and is what really brings down the kit for me.
- The elbows are single-jointed. Ultimately this is...
okay
for what you get out of it, and Ex-Aid has it too (does Build?), but it's just not up to standard even compared to the early Kabuto and Faiz. Double-jointed elbows would be so much better.
- The Driver. Now, points over the SHF for actually have Ridewatch details; but beyond that it's a very basic solid chunk of plastic that doesn't even have the right molding in multiple places especially around the back. Considering even Build and Ex-Aid have much more interesting drivers that even have removeable gimmick items and movement, what happened here? It just seems like it's not as good as it could be compared to other releases, and is the most 'fake' and inaccurate a FRS has ever felt to me.
The proportions also feel kinda... strange? I'm not making this a point because it's hard to define but something about him feels a bit skinny and lanky. I dunno, just this release has a lot of letdowns in a lot of places - I assume Geiz is the same, too - and I'd appreciate either a redo or just some sort of upgrade kit with a new head, driver and elbows.
