If it had regular gipping hands for the weapons and compound buy eyes, I'd not even be giving the Figuarts a second glance. I'll probably still pick up Figuarts Zeronos, but I'm not getting the Den-O ones unless I see sword form for an amazing price.

You don't have any of the the Den-O or Ryuki Figuarts do you?

They don't have the weird hips that some Figuarts do (W, Agito, Fourze, some of the Sentai ones, and most are really quite usable anyway, it's really only the W line that has a lot of problems with the loose inner shoulder joint and extra ugly hip joint).

None of mine have any issues with terrifying balljoints, or squeaking or anything that makes me nervous about their durability. And sad to say, I have quite a few Figuarts, like in the realm of 100+.

But anyway, yeah, only the Den-O and Kiva lines are anything close to Figuarts, and you're right, the hands are kinda problematic, but at least the 5 Form set has specially molded hands for holding the specific accessories.

When you get yours, look at the palm of the new hands, they have a letter indicating which form they go with, in case they got mixed up when put back in the box (assuming it's a pre-owned set).
I'm half tempted to keep that set, for Plat Form, until we get a Figuarts of it, cuz I really like that form.
