What was wrong with the Best Selection release ?

A lot of general issues kept getting reported with it -- bad plastic quality, it fell apart easily, iffy paint applications in some cases. Just very far below the quality you'd expect from SHF, and this is presumably because of the lower pricepoint

They also took away a few of the accessories the original release had IIRC.

They did, but that alone would be fine -- some people would be pretty happy with a pared-down release of just Ultraman and some additional hands for a lower pricepoint, similar to recent main Riders.

Here's our in-hand first look at the upcoming prize figures

Funnily enough the Zero-One SHs are the best-looking ones in this set.

Also, seems that Horobi is using clear plastic for his joints. That's not good.

On the promo pic it looks like regular plastic ?

Zero-One does look the best though, and that hard candy red on Saber isn't looking too bad either. Build and Zi-O might as well be straight up re-releases haha

Check the elbows and kneecap. One part is black, the other is transparent plastic.

That's a bummer, but considering this is rarest of the prize figures, and it's Horobi, pretty slim chances these even circulate second hand right ?

It might come around, but I expect those to have cracked joints :/
