[SPLIT LIP]

This may sound weird, but I always considered Rising Mighty Kuuga's "true" base form. Not necessarily in how it was used int he show, but it's just a really solid "finishing" of Mighty. The gold trim is tasteful and works well with the red in ways that make you think it was always designed that way. The shin brace just adds to it, being a cool "weapon" and emphasizing Kuuga's kick and melee fighting. I actually think this is why Amazing Mighty falls a bit flat, as it doubles the shin guard and make it look more like a generic set of grieves. Rising Mighty though is just top notch, and when I get FRS Kuuga I may be sorely tempted to pick it up. (though I already have SS SHF Rising Mighty...)

Great looking kit regardless. How are the double bands on the gauntlets done? One solid gold piece with a red sticker, or two gold stickers over solid red?
