Thanks.

Went and preordered him :D

Did Type Wild went up for pre-orders by any chance?

Hmmm, other than the feet and the color of his jaw area, I'm not seeing any differences.

The square panels on the thighs are more pronounced, and the little green dot on the right side of his belt buckle appears to be missing.

The renewal has a broader body from the looks of it. Shoulder and hip joints are better hidden, neck is a bit shorter.

What was the reason behind the remake anyway? We're there major problems with the original?

1. A new team of designers are picking up the line
2. Bandai has found a way to get more cash
3. There are people who are not happy with the proportion of the old figure
4. Lifetime for the material used by the old figure is running out and will breakdown very soon

While I can see the differences quite clearly now, I'm still not interested in picking the new version up. I only got the old version when it was reissued and it still holds up extremely well.

Also the renewal can't do this :p :lol

Gives a new meaning to the term "Rider Thrust".

Eh, I got the Renewal just because I never got the original so I figured why the hell not. I do like the suit anyways.

I'm... confused by your fourth point. Are you saying the old ones are going to start crumbling apartsoon??
