Okay, let me rephrase then. I've never seen any sort of side by side comparison highlighting the inaccuracies, and I've never bothered to do it myself. There's nothing so obviously wrong about it that it stands out to me.

I honestly have no idea what you are referring to here.

I did a google image search for 'cyclone joker' and it seems the majority of the images are either the henshin pose, or the pointing for the catchphrase pose, both of which the Figuarts does quite easily (not that they're complicated poses).

If you mean the CJ finishing kick, I've watched 6 episodes in the last couple of days, and they didn't do that kick once, so I wouldn't call it the most iconic thing W does, personally. And of course it's not going to be able to do that without a ton of extra parts, like the SIC comes with.

I'm not trying to fight here, I just don't know what you mean.

I'm not disagreeing that W could use an update, because it could, and I would buy one if there was. BUT, like with Kabuto before him, I don't find the existing figure to be so bad that I want Bandai working on renewals of figures we have, when NONE of Kiva's regular forms exist yet. Or Saga, which got a prototype and is a main enough character (and a great design) that I think he needs a figure. (blah blah blah Hibiki too, I guess, I don't personally care, but the same applies, in that it has NO figures).

I have ALL but two of the Kabuto figures, and I rather like them. They're lanky, they have bowlegged issues, but none of that detracts (to me) how good the figures look, and how easy they are to pose and display.

From my perspective, the existing W Figuarts do cut it, and I'd rather get new figures of characters we don't have yet than remakes of stuff we already have.

But if that's just me, fine, I guess you can all be wrong, and I'll stand over here in my corner by myself crying over the lack of Saga and the Checkmate Four and Kiva, Garulu, Baassha, Dogga and DoGaBaKi while you all enjoy the renewals.
