So I can just get Violent Emotion and forgo the original version? Good to know.

Been considering picking one up for some strange reason.

Violent Emotion also has a more screen accurate magenta paint job, doesn't he?

At first I wanted the original Decade because I wanted my Decade to be original in terms of look for my collection, saw a video review of Violent Emotion Decade finding out he comes with a better head, I immediately jumped the gun on ebay and bought Violent Emotion Decade for 25bucks.

You could say Violent Emotion Decade was the first renewal version of a rider, even if it wasn't intentional.

Does anybody have any comparison pics of Renewal Kabuto next to some of the other Kabuto figuarts (minus Kabuto)? I've seen several comparisons between him and the other Kabuto figure, but I'm curious as to how the other Riders like TheBee and Gatack stack up next to him.

I don't see Bandai doing Renewal Versions of all of the Kabuto riders any time soon, if at all. The only Kabuto riders I own are Hyper Kabuto and Sasword and while I'm expecting Kabuto 2.0 to make them look worse by comparison, I don't want the difference to be so jarring that it becomes off-putting when they're on the shelf together.

For something that Bandai basically gave for free, I'm impressed by how high quality the folding screen is. The base you get with Gaim is also very nice.

I'm on the fence as to whether I should invest the time and money into tracking down a screen, but I'm very pleased with the base. Honestly would've preferred something more solid, but it's spectacular as it is.

The screen is realllly nice, it makes for the perfect backdrop for these figures. I was also surprised to see it was made from an amazing stock.

Also when does Zangetsu come out? Saw someone on twitter has him already :o

As I recall, Zangetsu is slated for the 21st.

The folding screen really does complete any Gaim display though, it's a nice piece that feels durable enough to survive multiple uses. I'[d say it's worth tracking one down if you're going all in on the Gaim figures, even more so if all you want is just the main 4.
