Even Drake? That's the one design about which I'm less excited. Also, I think you may be right about the Zecter, and now I can't unsee it.

Like others here, I really like the TheBee design, and would snap up a Shinkocchou Seihou version without hesitation. The review here appears to be right in pointing out that the Rider Sting version of the Zecter appears to be a little too large. I think at that point in the development of Figuarts, Bandai was going for designs that were cool rather than accurate. (I think that also explains some of the design for their original W figure.)

This gallery is definitely making me long for a TheBee figure, but I'll do what I did with Kabuto and wait for the (I assume inevitable) upgraded version. Actually, given how the SS line leans toward reworking existing molds, I don't expect all that long a wait for more Kabuto Riders, given the similarity of their suit designs.

Also, this gallery has prompted me to notice cool details I hadn't noticed in-show: the stinger at the abs, the shoulderpads miming wings, and and the way the entire chest, from shoulderpads to stinger, gives the impression of a large bee.
