Oh I do want one, but I was just starting to collect when the first release happened, the second one was a weird store exclusive and the third one is... well, kinda blue.

I know Hibiki's colors are like that, but just a simple reissue of the first release would suffice.

And I'm in no hurry to get one, it’s not a priority for me, I can wait.

I get their vision but it really is Malibu Stacy with a new hat. This just sucks for everyone who already has Hibiki, either buy the new figure or get accessories with your bike you can’t use.

Teaser for the whole gang!

On the one hand, I can't help but feel like he looks a little...basic? But on the other, I absolutely love how basic the original Gavan Figuarts looks, and this seems to keep the simplicity of that with the updates of the modern ones.

I'm thinking about adding one to my collection, but I gotta watch more of the show first (and improve my financial situation...but that's beside the point )

I think a lot of the Metal Heroes designs hit the right balance of simple yet detailed and my only gripes with the early series is that their armor doesn't fully cover their arms and legs like the new series designs do.

Part of that reasoning is probably due to limited posing and mobility based off the material used but designing has improved and has better engineering

[Henshinmorph917]

The Gavan Infinity figuarts came out exactly how I'd pictured it would look and designed.

If the show and line does well then I hope they consider revisiting past Metal Hero series because I would definitely love to have Seihou versions of Metalder and B-Fighter Kabuto

Or the ones that were shown as prototypes and then buried, like Janperson.

Speaking about buried prototypes, the 9th fox is approaching.
