So no one else thinks this is awesome? Not that I'll be buying it since it isn't different enough from the original SHF Ankh, which I have, but I'm glad it exists.

Plus there's nothing to rule out a human form Ankh SHF at some point. Not long until this year's event.

Oh I think it looks great, it's just overpriced.

Fair point. I might be a bit jaded - being a UK-based fan I generally end up paying through the nose regardless of list price.

I mean hey, I'm the same. But this is still a bit much.

This is such a bizarre release. Leaving aside that it's an arm with a few accessories, Bandai already released a Figuarts Ankh arm with comparable accessories several years ago. It'll be slightly out of scale with Shinkocchou Seihou, but compatible enough for my taste.

I'm trying to figure out what they're adding that makes Bandai think a $40 price point is acceptable. Since we only have this image to go from, there's not a lot.

- It looks like the dangling flaps that were rendered as plastic in the original release are now cloth. I can't tell whether it's poseable or not; I don't see a wire.
- It looks like there are at least 10 individual cell medals, although I'm guessing the mass in the center is, like the original mass, one big piece.
- The iPhone and TaJaDor medals are new. I'm a little surprised it doesn't come with a couple more versions of the medal sets, since Ankh's main thing in battle was, "Eiji! Use these!"
- At least three alternate hands. This is a unique release because we're accustomed to thinking about hands in pairs, but the cost for additional hands for this one should be substantially less because there's only one arm.
- I'm assuming the paint is much more screen-accurate.
- Obviously, the arm and accessories are all scaled-up for Shinkocchou Seihou.

There's still not enough here for me to be tempted into a purchase, much less to justify it. I'm not sure what it would have to include in order for me to buy it. Maybe the Ride Vendor in vending machine form and some can animals. Definitely hands for OOO to hold the included accessories. Or, y'know. Ankh's human form.

Now watch the human and Greeed forms not include a right forearm, forcing you to buy this set.

The page lists 100 Cell Medals as an accessory, so it sounds like the pile is a legitimate pile. Still, I'm not sure 100 of a what, 2 mm maybe? little piece of plastic is exactly worth an extra 2000 or 3000 yen.

It also confirms it comes with a stand, and five alternate hands, which isn't nothing given how detailed those have to be, but still.

It's an arm!

Page?

I hope they don't expect customers to cut the cell medals off a damned sprue. It's an... interesting... addition, but I don't see a ton of display options for more than a couple of them unless the set comes with some sort of brilliant "exploding cell medals" display piece, in which case, I expect they'd have included it in the product image.
