I got my Kuuga 50th ver today, got to say he's so much fun to pose with. Even through he's not as glossy as Decade ver but i'm so satisfied with him, maybe i will grab Kuuga Titan

TBF, at least in the commercial bumpers, Zero-One's eyes don't glow under blacklight, they're just lit-up. (as Rider eyes in special footage sometimes do, like Fourze's intro)

It would be nice if Eden's red glowed, but it looks so good as is in the deep metallic I'm not too bothered. I only had Vulcan for the longest time and while he's certainly great, as you said the texture and detail on Zero-One (and by extension Eden) is incredible.

Now it's just a question of who to get next? (since we still don't have Rampage Vulcan or Zero-Two) Valkyrie goes for mad money and I never did decide which Zero-One super mode I liked most.

All of the zero-one upgrade forms look good in figuarts form and stand out in any display and I'll always recommend Shining Hopper but do understand why some prefer Shining Asault Hopper. Of course can't go wrong with MCH so if I could only choose one form then I'd say him

If you want to decide on another besides the overpriced Valkyrie then Thouser and Jin Burning Falcon are great choices imo

I used to own the original seihou release of this Kuuga but wasn't fully invested into Kamen Rider figuarts at the time but now feel the need to grab him again despite having the Decade version.

Despite knowing the paint job and character difference...I'm ok with having the same figure essentially twice

You can pick up Serval Tiger rn for a decent price rn if you really want a Valkyrie.

But my top pick would obviously be Thouser and/or Metal Cluster. Those two have presence and are very good.

Or Jin Burning if you fancy metallic red

Naki is one of my favourite figures that I own AND they're very cheap for a preban figure on the aftermarket. One of those ones that looks a lot better in-person than you expect

I'm deliberately holding off on Thouser because I'm praying Bandai does Kamen Rider ZAIA.

You and me both... a black repaint really works wonders sometimes

Get both. :lol

Despite my love of black and white suits, and I LOVE them, ZAIA doesn't much work for me.

Thouser is however one of my favorite figures in my collection.
