[SPLIT LIP]

So I just got a massive Figuarts haul. Old Kuuga Growing, Titan, Rising Mighty, Amazing Mighty, Dragon, and SS Black.

The Kuuga Figuarts aren't big surprises but they're all cool and having the full lineup of all his forms is great. The only downside was Rising Mighty which had all the red parts faded. Even the torso. So I taped him up and gave him a coat of clear red to bring it back to normal.

The real winner is, predictably, Black. This figure is absolutely gorgeous and more than ever makes me wish I had any Battle Hopper for him to ride. (come on Bandai, give us a FRS model kit of it already) The shoulders on mine are intact so I'm just going to be very delicate.

I will say Black isn't perfect. The shoulders are a little wide and the sculpt of the rubber bits taper inward making them look a little unconvincing. It's a lot of work for so little gain, especially since no other joints on this figure do it. Other than that he's more or less flawless.
