Aw yeah. Time for Professor Ryouma Sengoku to begin his AC ass kicking.

I also wonder if they're going to release a second Baron with a Genesis driver, since Baron's Lemon Energy Arms has his logo instead of Duke's in the show.

I hate the general design of the AC Lemon/Mango fruit. The "cape" just looks so wonky.

Cape piece aside, I really like how this looks. I can't wait to see a SHF version.

Really hope they give it a fabric cape, though...

Looks like a rough retool of Mango Arms, to be honest.

I was just about to say the same thing. Feels a lot like Mango Arms.

It is just Mango Arms with a bit of new molding and the added top that transforms into the shoulder armor.

There won't be. Figuarts doesn't do fabric. It'll likely be hard plastic molded in a couple different poses like Kamen Rider Knight & Knight Survive were. Capes and scarves for riders have never been fabric in this line.
We pretty much knew it was going to be a Mango reuse, in design terms, from the start. It had to be considering it transforms VERY similarly, the cape is what gave it away. Sort of like how similar the original Orange & Melon arms are in design but create different final products.

I wonder how hard it would be to make a fabric cape, then.

Well looks cool and next week it looks like it will be in the show, hopefully not just in one scene and then again in 10 episodes.

But yeah it does look cool, and the blue is alright.

I'm not sure a rerelease of this with the Baron body will happen so everyone may have to settle for this.

Shame that they have to reuse the worst Fruit Armor again. Doesn't look too horrible I guess.

I suspect they wanted the AC release to coincide with Duke becoming more active in the show. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of him from here on out.

Will pass, Mango is the AC lowpoint and it isn't even like he's a must have character.

Am I the only who who finds the AC sets that unfold BEFORE they attach to be less interesting/fun than the others?

Cool

Looks okay. Probably, honestly, the weakest looking AC figure. But seriously. Where do you get a lemon that big?

With how last minute Baron Lemon Energy was in terms of decision, maybe as a web exclusive if one's lucky. But most likely never.

I agree. It's more fun to see the whole fruit plopped on their head.

See, Baron Lemon Energy is my reason for wanting to buy Duke. I'm going to swap the belts. And I'll give the Sengoku Driver to Duke. I'm hoping he looks good in Melon Arms.

Hoping someone like Reprolabels comes out with a Baron symbol for this Lockseed. I like it on him better than Duke.

My only problem with Baron is the fact that his helmet just starts halfway through. I know the reasons for it and it's fine given that, but it still bugs the heck out of me.

Duke's release date is 5/24/14-
