The hands are especially concerning. If there's one thing they should make die-cast it's the wrist pegs. If not, take a page out of Marvel Legends' figures & just have the slot in the wrist & a longer, cylindrical peg (with no ball joint) on the hand.

So like Figma and renewal Kabuto pretty much?

I'm pretty happy with the current state of SHFs. Niggles and all. Guess I'm the strange guy in the room.

I'm usually happy with the figuarts I get even if the flaw can be small or minor. Flame Style is the one that I hate since my falls apart when you move him seeing how awful the pegs are. I can't sell my Flame Style on Ebay because no one would want it and I can't throw it out because I don't have the money at the money to shell out a new one. Not to mention it was a birthday gift and I don't like doing that.

The only Figuart I truly hate is Zx because that thing just feels like a bootleg.

Yeah. But that's just because I worry if I give the figure to other people to pose like my friends they might be too rough on it by accident. They aren't dumb or mean or anything, just not the most gentle. ^^; Aside from that Figuarts is as good as everyone says it is.

I was rearranging my toku Figuarts displays this weekend and handled Robo Rider for the first time since I opened him. Ha, yeah, those hips are special. I guess he was such a boring release they didn't leave much of an impression (I just tinkered with him then plopped him on a shelf when I first got him) that I'd actually forgotten about them, but yeeesh those could've been designed...not that way.

At least mine holds his gun. That's something.

Bravo's great. Quite pointy so you have to find the right spot to grab him when swapping out hands, but very cool.

Still waiting on Gaim Jimba & Blade Jack (plus Ultimate Zero) to clear customs, hopefully they drop in by Friday.

After watching the first episode of Drive, I wonder how the tire gimmick is going to work in Figuart format? Maybe they can release the tires similar to the Fourze effect sets that they did a while back.

Thats probably what they will do with it. Their are alot more Tires to come in the future of the serious so it would be impossible to include them all with the figures.

Maybe have it be a clip on system.
