Yeah like I said but didn't finish, older Figuarts were less "make an exact replica of the suit" and more making it look like a really good anime figure. For example, the Hana figure from Den-O was anime-style. They weren't really shooting for dead-on accuracy so much as just quality and form with reasonable accuracy. But the recent ones have gone for the replica look, and that's why I really want the older figures to be redone like W and some of the Imagin from Den-O. Kabuto's getting redone and he looks EXCELLENT, and his old figure wasn't even that bad. Bandai has deffinitely shifted goals, and look like they're well aware of the areas of contrast in the line overall now.

And I agree, nobody's asking for "muscle-bound." But then that's about the general rule, ain't it? One gratuitous extreme or the other.
