Ooh. I got all tingly from the new hands. I don't really find too much fault with my ver 1 kabuto, but I can't resist this figuart.

I fully welcome a changeover to more Figma-esque hands. 2 breakages out of 50 odd figures is still too many as far as I'm concerned, especially when both were web exclusives.

It might be the way the photo and figures are angled, but the new one looks thicker overall then the original!

Amen , brother Zeo

I welcome the new hand thing.

Can't wait to see what other 2.0 versions they have in the works.

Peg and hinged wrist joint? Oh hell no. While I could see the argument about the hips, this is 100% a step backwards.

Agreed, I hate feeling as if I'm going to snap one of those balls off. It's going to happen sooner or later, but that senaation kind if kils it for me.

cant wait to get him

I just, how? How do you not see the differences? It's like day and night between these two, how do you not see it here? The lanky proportions are gone, the bowed hips are gone, his head's the appropriate size and color, his hips don't look like their dislocated when posing. This thing is all around and improvement on the original.

Because forcing tight plastic holes around thin snapable ball joints was such a giant leap forward? I may not love the peg system but it worked for years for Bandai with Souchaku Henshin. It's definitely the better option of the 2 presented. I too have had 2 figures out of my 70 or so break at the wrist and one was a web exclusive that fetches $80+ so I'd rather they go to a system that works better.

Might because Ive never had those style hands in hand, but if they are better good. If it wont really matter, keep it the way it is.

I'm eh on the new hands for now until we see clearer pics of them or more pics of Kabuto.

Swapping to Figma-like wrist pegs could kinda reduce breakage, not by much but a bit, but it would also mean we lose all the motion the wrists currently have unless they either plan to give us more hand options or found a way to keep the ball joint range of motion.
