All three released up until last month- Mach, Chase, Drive- and quite frankly? Yes. In some regards, better.

well that what you say to me however they are riders with a tire over his chest and if you lose that piece you have an Eyesore of a figuart.

I agree that Chase is the best and the up coming Chaser will be great as well but drive and mach just look bad as figuarts.

Then don't take the tire/s off?

I disagree. Type Speed is fantastic as a design in general and made the jump to Figuarts very well. As for Mach, he's sexy. Hell I didn't even care for the suit until the Figuart came out. Now I love it to death.

Who in the right mind would loose Drive's tire? It's an essential part to him.

And I would hardly call Mach a bad figuarts, the figuarts is on spot with the in-show suit.

What I was saying about drive is that he look silly with the tire on him at all times and if you take it of it an eyesore. mach I just don't like the guy that play him in the show he an a hole.

I don't see how you'd just "lose" the tire considering it's connected pretty solidly to the figure. Honestly that'd say more about the collector than the figure itself.

Bud, Drive is GORGEOUS as a Figuart, and to me Blue > Red any day. But they used such a lovely, candy cherry red on him that it's hard to disparage it, not to mention he moves so fluidly. Mach isn't much different, and they got him right in just about every way they could; compare to Zangetsu, who they molded in a pearlescent plastic that's prone to discoloration, Mach is painted in a very solid, pure white. The colors pop out just enough and he, again, handles superbly. There's nothing to really dislike about these toys.

So... Don't get them. Just because you don't like how they're designed or who they are in the show, doesn't mean they're bad toys.

Well the latter reason doesn't justify your dislike of the toy but of the character.

Yes he isn't the most impressive looking with the tire on, but it works. It's certainly better than any of Drive's other forms which I think look like garbage. And to be frank aside from the peg holes, the SHF looks pretty nifty without the Tire Koukan. Almost to where if you used some scultping to fill it in you could have a very good looking design.

Ahh I see. So you don't like Gou's actor. That's fine and dandy. But let me ask you a question; how does you not liking an actor or a character immediately make a figure bad? Have you handled the Figuart to know if it is bad or good? Or are you simply holding a prejudiced against it simply because you don't like the performance? With that do you simply refer to Drive being a bad Figuart because you don't necessarily like the design? Because you see if you don't like the designs or characters that's fine. However labeling a figure of said character/s terrible because you don't like how they are presented in the show is asinine and unfair. Don't judge a toy unless you have handled it.

Zangetsu will discoloration how do you know?

mach has the same white paint that white wizard has I have the white wizard figuart. What I dislike about the drive figuarts is they did not impress me enough like the Gaims ones did for Ex Bravo with his spikes, Duke with his cape, Mango with his hammer you get what I am sayin.

I just think that tire part will come lose overtime like other figuarts have parts fall off them.
