Regarding Fourze, those chest stickers definitely bring the kit down. They are just so obvious. I regret not painting them, but was not looking forward to attempting to paint the same matching colors to black and white parts. That's a nightmare.

OOOs is supposed to come pre-painted, but there's only so much they can do, so I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath. Fingers crossed!

AFAIK only OOO's chest symbol is pre-painted but I feel like the majority of the lines will be separate, but I'm imagining the black lines on the arms and gloves will need to be stickered/painted. (though of course black lines are the easiest to do with any panel liner.

You are basically just missing out on his weapon but in exchange getting a much more gorgeous figure with a wider ranger of articulation

The only problem is that defeats the purpose of collecting all the model kits. Like I still plan to get W, Kuuga, and Hibiki despite owning the SHF's. It's less to get a figure of Build (which isn't even a design I like a lot though he's pretty cool) and more to have that eventual full lineup of main Riders in a consistent style and scale.

The idea that they may redo him is pretty tantalizing, though. I mean, they did it with Kabuto and Faiz to good effect. You guys have definitely scared me off Build for now (though I do still want Zi-O) I may get Kabuto instead, or one of the three I mentioned above.
