The wrists are hopefully modified as well as the original 4 Space Sheriff releases all have rather thin brittle wrist ball joints. I've personally experienced a couple breaks with them. Overall it appears to be a great improvement.

I doubt the push for figures mean much for home video release. Even if it did those types of releases are generally very expensive. Prohibitively so for sub groups which do their work for free as well. But if the material ever did get out there in DVD/Blu-Ray form it would definitely increase the likelihood of subs.

You are a toku fans best friend, thanks Den-O, that really helps me out. I think I'll hold off and just wait to see what comes after the Gavan renewal. Though as cheap as the others are and the current rate.. might be a good time to be cautious and buy them anyway.

I was trying to figure out if the hips had been improved, glad up wasn't the only one seeing that. It really does look fantastic. I'm fine with buying new versions of figures I have if they are an overall improvement.

Hmm yeah I guess that's just my hopeful dreaming. At least Bandai remembers that Metal Heroes exist and are giving them figures finally.
