[SPLIT LIP]

His colours seem to light, but that MAY be because of lighting? I dunno, he really should be darker. Sculpt wise he's excellent. Though the compound effect looks, I dunno, too big? Or I may be wrong considering how many arms feature yellow eyes.

Though yeah, Kurokage or Bravo would be better. Hell, we don't even have official photos for Ryugen and Zangestu by themselves.

It's...

It's complicated. Basically, compared to just about any Figuart, the W ones are not good. Lacking in accuracy, more primitive engineering. They're old, and it shows. Accel, thus, is old, and unlike CycloneJoker never got reissued to my knowledge. They are in DESPERATE need of a revamp, which I certainly hope will happen.

But wait, there's more! He's also a notorious example of the W Figuart's problems with accuracy: his helmet is a smidge oversized and totally messed up, with a weird, wide, droopy visor. Oddly enough, this was fixed somewhat. Accel Booster, a oft-forgotten movie-exclusive upgrade, included a replacement head. More accurate, but sadly a touch undersized. But basically, if you want the best Accel SHF, you gotta get the original AND Booster, meaning both figures get price jacks.

You see why now I decided to go with the model kit as soon as I got one. And no, there is no SIC Accel which is bullshit IMO. God how freaking COOL would it be? I'm not even sure if Project Bm got to Accel.
