Took about 10 minutes because AmiAmi kept crashing on me thanks to everything else that went up tonight, but eventually snagged Ex-Aid Lvl5 along with some other stuff. I'm passing on Gomora for now.

So, Tamashii posted a blog with some pictures of the Hunter Gamer Ex-Aid and I'm like "Yeah, not bad", then I scroll down and see this:
http://blog.livedoor.jp/shfiguarts/a...064688621.html Yup, they're making Brave Lv. 5 and Snipe Lv. 5. Why? I have no fucking idea. I mean they are easy remolds, sure, but still... why? Who asked for this? Meanwhile still no Lazer and still no Lv. 3's who all appeared before Drago Knight Hunter Z was introduced. |

I'm pretty sure the text under the closeup on the Driver says the Gashats are removable, so there is that.
Also...is it just me, or do Ex-Aid's eyes look more accurate on this one than the level 2 pics we have? The color isn't quite right still, but the shape looks alright. But yeah...certainly hope the other Level 5's are low priority in actual production. There are so many other more worthwhile things they could be doing. Not only just full characters in need of figures, but even just retools of the figures we already have, that would be more worthwhile than the incomplete level 5's...though even the full thing wouldn't really be worth it either. An aside but, it also looks like Snipe's little hair thingy can rotate just like on the LVUR, which is...cool? |

Kind of a pointless feature unless they intend to somehow incorporate the LVUR line's level 3 gimmick. Considering that they didn't use the Arms Change gimmick, which is extremely similar, for the Gaim Figuarts... not likely, so it's just a pointless feature.

Oh, well, this is what I get for not keeping on top of things.
This whole time I'd been speculating on the Gashats being detachable and things when this old post showed that they were. It also shows Snipe's wooshy hair, and some cool prototype pics... Neat. Also shows more conclusively that the Gashat and the Driver are made of different materials...and so is the handle??? I thought it was non-functional but now I'm not so sure. In fact, this picture definitely make it look like there's some moving part there. Hmm. An educational evening, this. I want these figures even more now. |

Yeah I've noticed Ex-Aid's weird eyes immediately upon seeing the figure for the first time and it’s what keeps me from buying it. So it hurts double to see that they are not only aware of the issue but also only bother to fix it on another figure entirely. I really hope the Lv. 2 Ex-Aid also comes with those new eyes but I don’t see it happening.
Also it's kinda weird that all the Gashats have no labels on them considering we had stuff like Lockseeds and Gaia Memories which are also really tiny but they all had stickers on them regardless. |

I'm pretty sure the eyes only look off due to the lighting. The way they look when he's sporting Dragoknight Hunter seems to be caused by the slight shadow the dragon "hood" causes since it sticks out over his head. You can see a reflection travelling up the discolored area into the white.
I feel that because the visor designs are clear plastic over visible, distinguishable eyes this time around rather than compound eyes that reflect light, certain lighting and shadows could make them look a little off when in normal lighting they look fine. Remember, the Tamashii show floor display looked perfectly fine and that lighting was normal.
