Nope, and that's why I don't really want them. :P

If the fruit could transform then the figures wouldn't be able to retain the aesthetic as coherently as they're presented in the show. Even in the show, after the fruit folds open it pushes inwards so that it's a tighter fit, and if they did manage to make it work in the Figuarts, something would have to be compromised. And of course future fruit armours may not work for the base figure, and once again, more compromises. As fun as the gimmick might be, I think it's better that they're not bothering with it for the Figuarts, especially since it allows the figures to maintain a better look than they would otherwise. Of course, this also means that Bandai can release all the armored forms as full Figuarts rather than just the fruits that turn into the armours like the cheaper alternative can.

I must have Baron and his mighty Banana Arms! Lol

For once the 'B-Line' of the toys is actually better...for me at least. Wizard's gimmick didn't really add anything to the Action Please line, but they were solid enough to make them a worthy option against the SHF line, until they made improvements with the Dragon Releases where they basically made the Action Please line redundant.

But since the AC allows you to actively utilise the in show gimmick and play around with all the Rider combinations, I can't really see the purpose of getting the SHFs unless doubling the price for slightly more detail and a bit more articulation is your thing. I still I'd still rather have fun using the show gimmick and for less money.

Seeing as I'm gonna display Gaim more than actively play with him, I'd rather get the SHF.

I'm planning to get all the AC and SHF line of Gaim characters.

There is always a reason for getting something.

In the Figuarts case, I can very easily see how someone would value the appearance and superior articulation of Figuarts over the AC line. Especially if that person does not intend to collect every single armor and is fine with the base (Orange Arms) Gaim.

I guess if you just wanted the base forms for show pieces, the SHFs are the way to go, I suppose.

So it looks like Gaim and Baron are coming out in... MAY!!! :-O

Thats what Im doing, I plan on buying Gaim and Baron SHF. Then AC for the rest, well once they get cheap like WAP! did :lol
