Yeah, that's part of the new Figuarts style. I don't like it very much either, as I really love the way the old extendable hips allowed for good posability without hindering aesthetics, however it's not a deal breaker for me, especially if the new joint style is stronger. Actually, I believe it isn't new; IIRC a similar hip style was used for Agito and a few other riders.

In any case, Gaim is looking awesome, and Baron is tempting my wallet in ways it shouldn't considering it's the wallet of a poor college kid. I hope the joints are metallic, or at least correctly colored. Having random black joints or something would ruin them for me, heck it's the only reason I haven't picked up CycloneJoker yet. Although this new body type makes me excited for if they ever remake CycloneJoker. It's great for kick poses, and everyone knows that Figuart needs redone at this point.
