The overall kit doesn't feel as well thought-out or sturdy as the rest of the line, and I hate the helmet stickers. The elbow bend is... not that bad (it's maybe 120-140 degree bend), but they definitely could do better.

I'd also single out the shoulders for scorn. They never ever ever look natural, in any pose. I don't know if it's the suit or the kit, but posing Zi-O's arms is always a Best Worst Choice situation.

Geiz has all the same problems, but the weird graphite-ish material Bandai used for his watchband/sternum is pretty goddamn cool. Really makes the kit pop.
The suit's shoulders are disconnected like the kit's, but I'd definitely agree that something about the kit's feel... off. I mean, W's shoulders are similar to Zi-O's and yet that kit is pulled off a lot better. Not sure how to define it beyond that though.

In terms of show accuracy, I would say FRS Zi-O is accurate, but struggles to be in the key places I pointed out. The eyes and driver are where it sticks out the most -- it technically does recreate the appearance, just not very well.

The eyes on the Zi-O kit are terrible, so I just did both a wash and painted it the black parts with a posca marker. I like it much more than if I had done the stickers. He does feel a bit too lanky but I got around it through posing I feel

The driver is easily my least favorite part. I don’t mind that it doesn’t allow for ride watch switching , but I’m just not a fan of using stickers to finish the look. The details are almost there but the white plastic I really dislike and it’s very jarring compared to what the prop looks like. One day I plan on casting it in clear resin and see if I can match it to the show

Edit: pardon the bad lighting

I agreed that he need a rework version for the absolutely horrible proportion that they gave him, but other than that I don't see anymore problem with the kit because they really did what they could. Another thing they could improve on is the Driver but that can be easily fix by adding a few panel line and shading using marker (see pics attach). The single elbow joint is fine as other kits are starting to adapt it as well, including future kits like Decade and Ryuki.

I would still say that Build deserve a rework the most, the amount of stickers on that kit is unacceptable, hopefully we would get one in the future.

The official box art for Decade is here and it looks amazing!

Ooh, the 12th! That's earlier than expected! What's the source for this?

A clearer picture for people who don't care about other info and just the art

Yesss. Dec 12 means it will make it in time for my HLJ private warehouse order to ship!

Super excited. The kit is looking great.

I really need to find a good magenta paint...

Im planning on using Rustoleum gloss Berry unless I find something better. It was easy enough to come by at Walmart and seems like it matches up well somewhere between the SS Neo Decadriver ver and the Medicom figure.
