One day... one day mine!

Goodwork as always, Ryan

Thanks!
Diend and Decade are both weird designs, and the Complete forms are even stranger. But at the same time, they don't quite reach levels of 'ugly' so I kinda like them. The designs certainly grew on me through watching the show, just by becoming accustomed to seeing them.

Much like the Kabuto and the Ryuki Riders, I think they're all identical (within their respective shows) except for the shoulders, chests and helmets. Parts reuse isn't limited to toys, it's a good choice for a variety of reasons. And with good design of the unique parts, you often don't notice just how much is a straight up reuse/repaint.
