Red Buster is still loads better than anything Hasbro put out. But that doesn't mean that Red Buster isn't a HUGE disappointment compared to any other Sentai Figuart. Quote:
So they may not be the hottest newest thing. They may not be as accurate as a SS. There's STILL plenty of figures they look great with, and they still outnumber the SS line. So, my "old" Kabuto fits in with the older figures. They outnumber the new figures three to one. Are you gonna hate on the older figures who don't yet have an SS, or may never get one?

It just doesn't make sense. The old Kabuto is a great figure. It might have been outclassed by the new one, but it still outclasses almost every other 6" figure on the market, EXCEPT the new one.

I really don't see the bowleggedness, but I don't have the new one to compare it to.

I am confused about the hate for earlier Figuarts. Ok, so the SS figures are arguably better. The earlier figures are still Figuarts which are loads better than anything Hasbro puts out.

It just doesn't make sense. The old Kabuto is a great figure. It might have been outclassed by the new one, but it still outclasses almost every other 6" figure on the market, EXCEPT the new one. And it makes perfect sense. We all have our own preferences. You find the old Kabuto to be suitable, and that's good, for you. Personally, I never thought for a second to add any of the pre-Ryuki SHFs to my collection because their engineering is so outdated that it'd be an eyesore, especially alongside modern figures like Blade, Gaim, and Drive. "Better than everyone else" doesn't mean much for people who want better than that- and that's what SS is. It's the creme de la creme. Quote:

I'll put it this way: the only pre-SS Kabuto figures I have are Hyper Kabuto and Sasword. Hyper Kabuto does not even belong in the same universe as the new S.S. Kabuto, even though Hyper Kabuto itself isn't a bad figure. Sasword is more or less serviceable next to the new ones.
But I'd take new versions of either of those figures in a heartbeat.....once they release TheBee, of course. EDIT: Speaking of which, I meant to post this:

Still wondering if they're gonna make the bikes for ZO and J. I mean, they've been making them for every other Showa Rider so far.

Thanks! I definitely recommend picking him up if you ever come across him on the aftermarket.
