Honestly, I really like the new hands. In addition to what most people are saying about it lowering the chance of breaking, it also just looks a lot better, directly connecting to the wrist instead of having this awkward ball in between. And I know a lot of joints look awkward on figures, but the ones they can cut back on, they should.

I mean, take a look at the Shingeki no Kyojin figmas that are coming out, instead of using the typical figma hand joint, they are using one a lot closer to the typical SHF hand joints, and to be honest they look horrible.

I love the new hands style. Ball jointed wrists are more trouble than they're worth.

These guys disagree with you:

I'm iffy on the new hands until I see them in person, but the rest of the figure looks downright awesome. Give me the rest of the Kabuto riders redone with this body and we'll be in business. A Sasword would be fantastic.

You do realise the new style hands can do exactly what those first two pics are doing right?

And as for your earlier post, you seriously think these look MORE fragile than what we currently have?

Well the way people are talking makes it sound like they can not do the same thing.

And yes, yes I do think they look more fragile. As much of a pain the wrist joints are at times, I never feel like I'm going to break the ball on the joint. On those, they look like they are easy to break like they are on the Monster High dolls.

Well, if they just do them for Kamen Rider, that is fine but I want the rangers to stay with what they have so I can continue swapping hands if I want to.

I assume that would be the case anyway unless they give the Sentai figuarts a new body type.

Really loving the new Kabuto figure. He actually looks like a guy in a suit :lol

Anyone have any idea why this kabuto is more expensive than your average shf?

I know that some changes have been made to how they design this kabuto, but, is there that much of a difference between this kabuto and all the other released and soon to be released shf that does not cost 5000yen.

Hopefully the raised price means better quality.
