Who's to say there isn't a ball joint in the wrist and the peg simply attaches it to the forearm? Now that could be perfect. As long as hand swapping is no longer dependent on the scary practice of forcing hands over ball joints then I'm happy.

Exactly. We won't know exactly how it works until it comes out and one of us has it in hand. My guess is, from how it looks, is that ir'll work something like revoltech wrists.

I'm okay with this change, actually.

Pegs makes switching hands on Figma a lot easier. On Figuarts it's a bit of a pain when you have to deal with things like Double's anklets or OOO's claws wanting to fight you at every turn.

What we need is an OOO Renewal, help Eiji's poor ankles.

OOO is one figuart that definitely needs a renewal.

Yes. because then people will sell they're old ones and I'll be able to pick one up dirt cheap *Cackles Madly*

Eh, I'd only pick it up if I was certain they were doing all of them. I'd rather have a shelf with all of them than just one or two slightly better looking ones.

I never bought Kabuto because I don't like the awkward look of the figuart. I will however get the Renewal one, since they fixed all the stuff that is wrong with the original.

Am I the only one that sees the old Kabuto and doesn't see a problem :lol

Holy. Shit.

I was already in love with this figure when I first saw the comparison this morning. I need a regular Kabuto in my life and it looked like perfection.

This, as small as it may be to some, feels like it's changing everything for Figuarts. And I'm ready for it. With the few figmas I have, the peg hand system just works. Ball joints for SHFs don't always. This is something I'm very open to.
