Cant Tell the Diffrentce with the head apart from the Ateni on it that it and the colour of the compound eyes i gathered the new hips and it looks like they are using Sentai ball joint feet as well

Oh thank God.

Because the pull-down hips ruin children's lives and I will always remind you all of that always.

As soon as they go up on preorder I'm grabbing these!

Oh, now there's a question. Since these aren't exclusives do I pre-order or wait, maybe even to see if they show up on Mandarake for less?

You're still crazy to hate them as much as you do :lol, but it's something potentially great for all of us. Blade (possibly, since he's not out) has a fantastic range of movement considering the form of the hips remaining completely intact.

The problem is that the Mandarake route can lead you to waiting a lot longer than some would want.
You'd get the figure you want for below average price, but you might have to wait months at a time to come across it.

I'd personally say score a preorder/order from a site that has low shipping, just to confirm that you get it, even if it costs $5 more than if you found it on Mandarake.

When I worked out how much this was going to set me back, with postage and all that, I started to wonder whether I should just wait as well.

THEY CAN'T SIT! They can't sit or kneel or do anythign that involves a leg moving like a leg should. They can't sit in a chair and anything outside a standing pose looks awful because there's a huge gap.

I feel Charlton Heston at the end of Soylent Green. The hips are made of suck!

this looks so FRICKIN amazing

I know right? I'm getting kind of really excited.
