Looks sold out already :(

Baron got shipped!

Oh...crap >_<

So wait, Shin Zangetsu is an entirely separate toy, not just an armour?

Yup. It's cause Shin Zangetsu uses the Gensis driver, so they'd have to make a new figure

Oh. Add that to the Legend Arms as another thing I wont be buying in this line.

A bit early to be calling that. :p You never know, he might use it for the majority of the show after its debut.

I dislike the principle though. You buy the first wave of AC stuff...only to then have to replace all the figures for the Energy Armours? That seems to defeat the whole point of the line. Unless the energy upgrades are actually good, I don't feel like buying the whole set again for the sake of different belts, especially as the current belts on the figures have like no detail on them at all.

Pretty typical for a toy line, though. For example, in Dekaranger, Magiranger, or Gekiranger, you buy the first mecha (Dekaranger Robo, Magiking, Gekitohja) and then later on they are completely replaced by newer ones (Dekawing robo, Magilegend, GekiFire) as the main mecha.

I remember buying Prowl in Transformers Animated, then he started wearing that Samurai Suit everywhere, it was a bit disappointing.

Not a bad idea though, to stick to just the first ones. At least you have the base form.

The head is different on Shin too, and not just the part that goes in the Energy Melon. There is silver detailing on the top and bottom, the jewel is a different color, and there's a silver bit in the crest too. Plus, he doesn't use the Musou Saber anymore, so the little holder on the side has to be changed.

Who knows if any of that will actually BE changed on the figure though.

Reviews of the genesis drivers are out by wotakufighter.
