[SPLIT LIP]

If I could best describe the feel of the old Kuugas it'd be that they're like Souchaku Henshin only prettier and more fun. No bulky metal armour, just metal feet. Solid jointing, quality paint, and Pegasus' bowgun actually has geared thingies, which even the Figure-rise didn't do! These almost feel like they're from a Kuuga anime or something. (in fact they're proportionally very similar to the manga, albeit not aesthetically)

Cheers on the advice, too! Luckily for Black I am getting him mostly for display. I have the model kit if I want to take lots of action shots and the Renewal if I just want something to handle without fear. Hell, I'm even considering getting the OG Black just so I can have the entire evolution of Figuarts represented in one suit. The SS will be a lot more look, a lot less touch.

Also I may have been a bit bad and ordered more Kuugas just now. :x Funny how my Figuarts collection has ballooned in just this year alone, and yet despite being nowhere near as refined and accurate as the Zero One SHFs, I still feel like I got my money's worth of these Kuugas. Figuarts today are practically art pieces at times, but there's something to be said about the days when they were still basically toys.

Only odd thing I've noticed is that Ultimate Kuuga is a lot taller than the rest. Almost by a whole head. He seemed normal sized in the show, at least when he transformed next to Ichijo, but then there wasn't much height comparisons in that snowy field. Is this actually accurate or just Bandai trying to make it look cooler?
