Wonder when this guy will come in. I already have the FRS Kuuga, so I may as well have at least one alternate form, my favorite one at that.

the paintjob hasn't changed. it might look different because of the lighting. I've seen a decent amount of in-hand pictures

Hi guys wanna ask, How fragile is the SS kabuto joint?
I kinda want him

From what I've come to understand, the elbows cracking comes from active use, so if you're the type of collector who's gonna put him in one pose and keep him that way forever, it shouldn't be an issue. If the joints do still crack though, you can easily buy replacement joints online.

I see, thanks for the info

I had an SS Kabuto for 6 years and I touch my figures a lot. I had Dark Kabuto, Gatack, and Kick Hopper for some time, too.

The first time I heard about the elbow problem I was convinced it was complete bullshit. Your mileage may vary, I guess.

6 years, Thats a long time

Well, i guess i need to think more about it before make my decision

I didn't handle my Kabuto a lot and his elbow still broke off.

It's all about how you handle the joint when you mess with it. If the elbow's tight and you're insisting on moving it by bending at the forearm, the joint will break from stress.

So basically it's a 50/50 chance you'll get one with fucked elbows? Is it maybe to do with a later run?

So what's everyone's bets for the next Seihou Main Rider at Tamashii? I definitely feel they'll do a new one for the 50th. For me it's between Black RX, Ryuki or Faiz -- wherever Black goes RX soon follows; and while Fourze, Blade and pretty much every Showa Rider is a contender for a Seihou Renewal I think Ryuki and Faiz would make the most sense as an eye-drawing thing for the 50th anniversary. Big popular guys. Next year is also Ryuki's 20th if you can believe it!
