Quesshin: So Hibiki has basically the hips of the MG figurerise models, with the entire hip region below the belt rotating around the center of the groin to allow for more motion without any huge gaps. (the belt covers whatever gaps would appear above the hip) Does Kabuto Renewal also have this? Is this a new Figuarts hip design standard, because holy shit am I down with this hip design, and I hope W uses it, too.

Still haven't put Hibiki down since I got him. (well, except for the three hours I was out last night)

It's like Thessair said, you determine what value it has to you and if it's worth it. I spent over $100 on Kamen Rider Gai and while many would say he's not worth that, he was worth it to me, and that's all that matters.

Personally, $49 sounds like a great deal to me right now, since my pre-order for him is pricier, but again, that's all up to you. Duke was one of my favorite characters and favorite designs in the show, so I'd have no problem dropping $60 or even $70 on him.

I'm looking forward to Duke since I still hate myself for not pre-ordering Zangetsu Shin. This time around, I will get all of the energy riders even my debit card hates me forever for it.

Kabuto just has standard universal hips, not the kind of hips Hibiki has.

I just got SHF Amazon (the normal release) and it's a really good figure. My biggest issue with this figure is that his hips feel super tight. Is just mine or did anyone had this issue? I feel like my right leg might break when if I try to move it. I got him off from Ebay and he has never been open.

Now that I think of it, Hibiki's missing something... could't he breathe fire in the show? They should've included an alternate head with an open demon mouth.

How do you think the Drive SHF line will be like going from what we seen so far? My guess will be like this.

Retail:

Drive Type Speed
Machine Chaser
Mach Signal
Drive Type Formula (Mid season upgrades seem to get a retail release similar to Kachidoki Arms and Magnet States).
Drive's final form

Web exclusive:

Drive Type Wild
Drive Type Technic
Drive Type Deadheat & Deadheat Mach (Maybe as a two pack)
Machine Chaser's new form

I think it will be:

Retail:

Type Speed
Type Formula
Final Form
Mach
Machine Chaser

Web Exclusive:

Type Wild
Type Technique
Drive Type Deadheat and Mach Type Deadheat (though I think they will be separate)
Machine Chaser Upgrade Form
Lupin

Some Event Exclusive:

Proto-Drive

Has ZO come out yet? I find it odd that no reviews for him have popped up.
