The metallic Figuarts really don't look as good as the Japan releases. I know in the show the suits (not the helmets, though) had a bit of a metallic shine, but it really didn't have the same effect as the Figuarts and to me the normal just look far more accurate. I was worried about regretting buying the Japan releases when this was announced, but I really don't. The Japan releases are definitely superior and not that much more expensive, I got all at once ShinkenGold, ShinkenBlue, ShinkenPink, ShinkenYellow and ShinkenGreen for about $230 inc postage a few months back, be patient and you can get them at that price too. It also has the advantage of having ShinkenGold looking better with them and normal ShinkenRed Hyper ShinkenRed, Juuzo and Princess ShinkenRed actually matching with the set.
