Shit, I've been tempted to get Omnimon before, but that cape makes me want him right this second...

So after seeing the Ranma 1/2 Figuarts...is anyone else a bit disappointed they're based off the manga art style and not say the OVA/Movie style?

One of the reasons I jumped on the Sailor Moon Figuarts is because they were based off the anime designs, which for me, was better than the manga style.

I dunno...In some cases I just prefer the designs of a series' anime over the manga even if that's the ORIGINAL look for something.

Aren't they based off the original anime?

Oh god, I need that. The original one's cape sucked shit and they chromed EVERYTHING. It's starting to chip on the sword's handle just because they decided that part needed to be chromed, too. >>

Also, I really like the brighter and non metallic colors. Somebody pick this up for me~

Bluefin can release Digimon figuarts/D-Arts both retail and web exclusives. I won't have to worry about it too much. Anyways, the new Omnimon figuart looks great, but the original is still a good looking figure in my opinion. I want this to support the Digimon line, but I'm getting sick of recolors. Can we get more new Digimon figuarts that are not recolors. If Tamashii wants to jump on the Tri hype train then there is a good amount of characters from the first season that can make good figuarts.

Well the page is labeled with the 15th-Anniversary Logo, so maybe that's just the starting point. Omnimon will appear in Tri so that's a reason to make a more anime accurate version. It would be cool to get more, and I hope they do it.

I'm sick of recolors, too. But if the cape isn't the crap plastic shell the first one had, I'm totally picking it up~

While your point still stands somewhat, this isn't just a recolour. The figure has had a pretty extensive retool as well. At the very least it has new feet and a new chest.

Pretty sure its a new head sculpt too but I can't quite make it out from the images.

Ah, the feet are different! I've been staring at them every time I bring up pictures of him. In fact, the entire leg - every part of it - looks different.

Damn. There's actually a lot different. Maybe I will go and order this then if Bluefin brings him over (they still haven't said anything about ChaosGallantmon have they? Little concerning).. wouldn't be so opposed to having two if they're this different..

Edit: The arms are totally different too. Wargreymon shoulder shield is attached differently, Metalgururumon head has different teeth and the shoulder spikes are rounder. Daaamn this does look fine.

Well the parts for the cape have to be new too and as I said there are the connectors in the back, that's also new.
